This speech is a barn burner! Carney is a gifted orator who focuses on unity, while making Albertans feel special, important and proud. 🇨🇦 youtu.be/e5K4ZGFsOtU

By all means. Let Pierre unite us, like he did delivering donuts to Ottawa Convoy trucknuts. #cdnpoli

Great writing #CBC. 🙄 The description of the actual scheme doesn't appear until after the 20th (!) paragraph. As a former editor, I am horrified. #cdnpoli

"Crooked"? Is this the same Alberta separatist leader Jeffrey Rath accused of making “false, inaccurate, and misleading” representations to keep receiving millions of dollars to finance two First Nations lawsuits against Ottawa, even after his firm had been fired? #JustAskin #ableg #cdnpoli

Online activity for the CONservative Party of Canada is down 60% after Ukraine destroys largest Russian data centre. Probably nothing.

I think the most terrifying thing of a botched execution is waking up and realizing you’re not dead but still in Tennessee.

On Jan. 1, 1870, public executions in Canada were banned. The last public execution in Canadian history was on Dec. 7, 1869 when Nicholas Melady was put to death at the Huron District Gaol in Goderich, Ontario for the murder of his father and stepmother.

Nicholas Melady in a dark suit and bow tie, eyes lowered, drawn with cross-hatching and a shaded background like a vintage newspaper illustration.

Rogers has now sent me 3 text messages saying I better not waste their time today because a technician is coming. These are the same people who kept me on hold for 90 minutes when I called them and they never picked up. #RogersCustomerService

Stephen Harper has, as we've long awaited, weighed in against Alberta separatism. But man oh man, do I have to strongly quibble with him claiming sentiment was zero when he was PM. Here's a 2014 poll putting belief in separation at 23%, which is where it sits now. nationalpost.com/opinion/step...

Grandpa can't figure out how to turn on his camera for a Zoom meeting of G7 leaders. "It the button in the corner. It looks like a little camera. Bottom corner. No the other one... Now you're on mute. Click the microphone symbol. Oops. He's disconnected himself."

Trump refuses to turn on his camera for a Zoom meeting to discuss the global energy market destabilized by Trump's Iran War.

No matter what happens in the 2026 midterms -- or even the 2028 presidential election -- Canadians will never trust the United States the way it used to. The north remembers. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/29/o...

America still doesn't understand how deep the rift goes

Memo to our friends (and yes, our enemies) to the south: the problem isn’t just Donald Trump. It’s you

CBC leaves out important context: Stelco is owned by U.S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs. An American parent is restructuring its Canadian operations while citing American tariffs. The Canadian job losses are real. So is that context. 🔗 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Step 1: Slip Trump a copy of the 1951 Defense Agreement, but with the name changed. Step 2: Describe it in the most favorable light possible, since he won't read it anyway. Step 3: Trump goes on "Truth Social" and proclaims himself a genius negotiator.

I once asked for vinegar for my fries in Florida. They brought out the jug they used to wash the windows, put it on the table, and the restaurant staff gathered around to see what I was going to do with it.

One of Canada's advantages is that we know a lot about the US. We follow their news and politics, get their TV channels, travel there. But Americans know nothing about us. They don't understand our politics, history or values. They constantly misjudge us, but we understand them completely. #cdnpoli
