Natch, it now comes out that the Belleville synagogue shooter was discharged from the 🍁CAF as a 5F for refusal to take the COVID vaccine. A bit of a pattern there, for the grievance brigade. 😒

The provincial gov't is the main direct threat to G-bears in Alberta, worse than habitat destruction and climate change, to which it also contributes assiduously. What an incompetent way to manage G-bears: no plan, no training, no data, just dead bears. Good on Kevin for blowing whistle.

This section of Jim Stanford’s recent article is particularly important for Canadians to keep in mind. #CanadaStrong #Never51 #cdnpoli #CdnEcon

TORONTO STAR <

‘Canada can't survive without the U.S.’

This is Trump's biggest, and most dangerous, lie, and getting us to believe it is central to his intimidation strategy.
Despite reduced U.S.-bound exports, Canada's economy has continued growing. Two-thirds of those lost merchandise exports have been offset by new exports to other countries. And almost 80 per cent of our GDP is produced and consumed right here, by Canadians, for Canadians. Trump can't touch that.
Yes, it will be a bumpy ride to disentangle our economy from overreliance on what is now a failed democracy next door. But as the 10th largest economy in the world, with a wealth of natural and human resources, and a stronger capacity to solve problems together, we will most definitely survive without Trump's America.
