Fascism has to be destroyed, which is a problem when you try to do it within the confines of liberal democracy. I have struggled with this idea for a while

Mark Carney is going to declare the West Coast Oil Pipeline in the national interest this week. Then the real work to get it built will have to begin -- and the oil and gas companies keep telling us they aren't prepared to do it. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/28/o...

Carney, Smith and the oil companies all have their own plans — but they can’t all be right
The politicking around a new west coast oil pipeline is almost done. Now the real work begins — and the real challenge reveals itself.

Beyond the fact that it’s incredibly illegal and corrupt to use taxpayer dollars to run political ads on television, there’s another problem with re-running old ads like this: the messaging only reminds everyone what a fraud you are.
Black-and-white image of Donald Trump standing in a hallway from a recent ad he ran on TV with taxpayer funds. White subtitle text on a black bar at the bottom displays what Trump’s voiceover says in the ad: “we will expel the warmongers from our government.”

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.

If Donald Trump could replace Alberta's oil with Venezuelan barrels, he'd be doing it already. Heck, he's *trying* to do it. And yet, for some reason, Alberta's premier refuses to stand up to him -- or let Canada use its strongest weapon in the trade war.

Everything this government does begins (and often ends) with one calculation: how can we help the oil and gas industry? Not workers. Not Albertans. Not even businesses. Just one industry -- one that's clearly captured this government.

Please read this article. Find it. Ponder it. “The left” is not a monolith, & current global dilemmas can’t be reduced to right/left. Nor, alas, can we afford the usual incessant “purity” tests when trying to assess right and wrong. Like it or not it, we simply must choose lesser evils occasionally.
