@CoryBMorgan Then, when the government must increase education tax to pay for these additional resources, municipalities send out messaging that says "look at how high your property tax bill is! It's all because of the province increase in education tax!"

I love how teachers' unions call it "classroom complexity".
Then demand more money to deal with it while refusing to discuss the root cause of the "complexity"

I cannot emphasize strongly enough how corrosive it is for society, to have people dying left and right from the Covid shots, yet there's no official acknowledgement from the federal government, the media, or the medical community that this is happening and that this is a crisis.

Just watched the first episode on new season of Welcome to Wrexham. What this show does best is spotlight the fans and locals around Wrexham.
No one does it better.

@BiblicalBeauty Vertigo. I had it twice in a two month period 1.5 yrs ago. Thankfully not since. It is a horrible experience.
English
Yesterday around 4 a.m., I woke up, and when I turned my head on the pillow, I felt like the room was suddenly spinning. Turned my head back, and it stopped.
A couple more instances of trying to turn and the spinning would return, then a sudden wave of nausea hit, and I nearly vomited, but that calmed pretty quickly after getting up. Returned to bed and was able to sleep a few more hours, and when I woke, the spinning and nausea were gone.
Is this what vertigo is like? 😬

I must admit, that's not the reaction that I thought Trump would have after the judge's ruling. Quite the opposite, in fact. So be it.
TV News Now@TVNewsNow
🚨 NEW: PETER DOOCY says a judge’s ruling today that Trump’s name has to come off the Trump Kennedy Center is “too much for the President.” “In a post, President Trump concludes: ‘I have instructed the Department of Commerce to make all necessary arrangements with Congress to allow a full and complete transfer of this Institution, giving them the responsibility for its Operation, Maintenance, and Management.’” @pdoocy: “His argument is if they are going to take my name off it and they are not going to let me fix it, it’s not worth my time.” @BretBaier: “That’s big news for Washington on a Friday afternoon.”

@Paulintoronto47 A douche. Because I have a different set of opinions as you.
Our society is in a bad shape if that's your only way of thinking.
Sad really.

Yup. You said it all right. Now I’ll say it… Lilley is and always has been a douche. And guess what that makes you.

Jason Nixon (and many others) are trying to make the case that Albertans receive good value from Ottawa for all the money we send there.
This year alone, Alberta taxpayers (citizens and businesses will send the following money to Ottawa:
Income Tax: $30 billion
Corporate Tax: $12 billion
GST: $9 billion
CPP & EI: $10 billion
Misc. fees: $8 billion.
That's a whopping $69 billion..... which by the way, is equivalent to 80% of our provincial budget.
We get back the following in transfers and direct services:
Health transfers: $13.3 billion
Equalization: $0
CPP & EI: $7.5 billion
OAS: $3.5 billion
For a measly total of $24.3 billion.
The difference is $44.7 billion.
Are you happy with the "services" you're getting from Ottawa for that $44.7 billion (military, coast guard, embassies, border security, museums)?
I'm convinced we could do better on our own.
For context, most western governments run on budgets equivalent to 30-40% of their county's GDP.
Alberta's GDP was $360 billion in 2025, so as a independent country, it would be quite normal for our government to spend $105-$144 billion per year.
Alberta's spending last fiscal years was $81 billion. That means that as a country, we need to replace $24-$63 billion.
It's 100% doable. Would we save a lot of money in the near-term? No. But that's not the driver. An independent Alberta will unleash it's prosperity, and preserve its culture.

For the record. Mark Carney’s address to the Economic Club of New York was a disciplined, strategically framed intervention that should resonate with business leaders on both sides of the border. In tone and content, it was exactly the kind of message markets look for from a G7 head of government: pro‑growth, geopolitically literate, and grounded in concrete avenues for investment and partnership. Carney’s central assertion – that a strong Canada can “help make America great again” – recasts the Canada–U.S. relationship in explicitly pragmatic terms. Rather than positioning Canada as a counterweight to U.S. economic nationalism, he presented it as a force multiplier for the United States’ own strategic objectives in energy security, supply chains, AI infrastructure, and re‑industrialization. That framing is shrewd. It acknowledges the realities of a more assertive U.S. trade and industrial policy while offering a collaborative model that can lower costs, reduce risk, and accelerate execution for American firms and investors. The speech was also notable for its business‑ready specificity. By highlighting Canada’s role as a reliable provider of energy, critical minerals, food, advanced manufacturing, and clean power, Carney translated geopolitical themes into investable opportunities. His emphasis on rule‑of‑law institutions, regulatory predictability, and a growing network of trade and investment partnerships positioned Canada as an attractive platform for capital seeking both exposure to North American growth and insulation from global volatility. Equally important was the tone: confident but not complacent, aligned with U.S. strategic priorities without being deferential. Carney managed to speak fluently to Trump’s “America First” agenda while articulating Canada’s own interests with clarity and self‑respect. For corporate leaders, financiers, and policymakers, the result was a reassuring message: Ottawa understands the new landscape, is prepared to work within it, and is focused on building a North American framework that can support durable growth, competitiveness, and security over the coming decade.
