I've been writing a Stubstack column each day from May 13- Justice Leonard's decision against the Alberta government- and will write at least until October 19- our referendum day on Alberta separation. This was one of two columns I wrote for today. fortbison.substack.com/p/poilievre-...

The death toll in Kyiv has risen to eight people. Tomorrow is a day of mourning. Every person killed was a whole world to someone.

Do the real math, people. The problem is Danielle Smith’s UCP mismanaging Alberta’s finances. Not immigrants. Not Ottawa. #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #Canada #CanadaSky #cdnpoli
Charles Adler (paraphrased): in 1992, Alberta had 11,700 hospital beds. Today with nearly double the population and an older demographic, it has 8800. This is not an ottawa or immigration problem.”

I show you Kyiv. I tell you about our life here. Slowly, I’m getting back to educating you about Ukraine. We survived this winter (it seems). Of course, there will be more attacks, more challenges. I’ll do my best to remind you that we are more than this bloody war.

Greetings from Kyiv, that survived another russian night attack. 2,600 high-rise buildings are now without heating (in addition to the 1,100 that will remain without it this season). We still have some. In a few days, frosts will return. I don’t know how to make the world listen.

Meanwhile, in Kharkiv, the city's mayor, Ihor Terekhov, said that crews must "drain the heat carrier from the heating system" as a result of the attack, which will cut heating to over 800 buildings in the city — as temperatures plummet below -20°C (-4°F) overnight.
