Another day, another shitshow in Awfulberta

That about sums it up how I've felt the past few years... #centrist

This is a video of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein with children.. This is the video that the Department of Justice deleted yesterday.. Now they want to remove it from the internet.. Share this everywhere...

@jkenney @PierrePoilievre @CPC_HQ Please keep endorsing Pollievre, because as long as he's the Conservative Party leader, they don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of forming government.

The pundits chirping about @PierrePoilievre’s leadership of the @CPC_HQ seem to forget that he just won 87% in a leadership review vote. Under his leadership a year ago, the Conservative Party won by far the largest number of votes in its history, and the highest share of popular vote since 1988. He has expanded the Conservative coalition in important ways, and has been perhaps the most effective opposition leader in modern Canadian history, driving Justin Trudeau out of office, and defining the key issues in national politics for most of his tenure. I have been critical (constructively, I hope) about some aspects of his leadership, including the admittedly difficult problem of how to deal with the destabilizing threats and uncertainty emanating from Donald Trump. But I am encouraged to see Mr. Poilievre modifying his approach to address lessons learned from the last election, e.g. his recent trips abroad, and a broader approach to communications. There is no doubt in my mind that he has the confidence of the Conservative Party, and has won the right to contest the next election. And to the small number of Conservatives who might be sceptical, I ask them how the party benefits from the constant internal strife of changing leaders? What message would it send to Canadians to have a seventh leader (including interims) since 2015? IMO the Liberal majority should be seen by Conservatives as an opportunity to: - demonstrate the maturity and discipline expected of a government in waiting; - focus on offering constructive ideas that address Canada’s deep challenges, as opposed to a perennially angry clickbait oppositional approach; - recruit talented candidates with senior private sector and government leadership experience who can help present a team that’s ready to govern; - demonstrate that Conservatives do not regard the Trump phenomenon as a distraction to be downplayed, but a serious and disruptive threat to our sovereignty and prosperity to be addressed head-on; - have the courage to lead responsibly on difficult issues, like the need for root and branch reform of the broken immigration system; promoting the duty of newcomers to integrate; reversing the woke denigration of Canada’s historically grounded identity and institutions, etc; challenging the growing abuse of judicial power in the criminal justice system, etc.; - clearly demonstrate that ours is the party of Confederation by helping to lead the fight for national unity against potential secession referenda in Alberta & Quebec. Canadians want and deserve a serious opposition that fulfils its constitutional duty to offer an alternative government. IMO, that means maintaining strong, stable, patriotic leadership that can learn from past mistakes, while building with confidence.

Why private medical tests? Instead of actual doctors, Danielle Smith listens to naturopathic quacks who prey on desperate people with their pseudoscience. She's using their advice to drive Alberta's health policies toward United States style private medicine. #ableg #abpoli

Time for Canada to discard any further discussion of American fighters, and announce the purchase of the Gripen, with an appropriate new model number.

The International Democracy Union (IDU) — once a powerful network of right-wing leaders — is crumbling fast. In just the last couple of years, they’ve suffered major defeats in: 🇬🇧 Britain 🇫🇷 France 🇩🇪 Germany 🇭🇺 Hungary 🇦🇺 Australia 🇧🇷 Brazil 🇨🇦 Canada 🇵🇱 Poland Other notable loses. 🇳🇱 Netherlands 🇸🇰 Slovenia 🇷🇴Romania 🇪🇸 Spain 🇰🇷South Korea And the list keeps growing. Far-right authoritarianism is losing ground worldwide. The tide is turning.

Danielle Smith campaigned and still claims "smaller government" as one of the UCP pillars. Here are some facts: Cabinet Size by Premier: • Stelmach-19 • Redford-21 •Prentice-21 •Notely-12!!! • Kenny-23 Danielle Smith-38!!! Make your own conclusions from this information.

@DavidStaplesYEG Who the hell watches network news these days? Maybe old Boomers who never figured out streaming or the internet, but the masses no longer read newspapers or watch the 6 pm news.

It will never sink in, Pierre. Carney Liberal voters get most of their news from Canadian TV networks that fill their heads with hoaxes and pro-Liberal propaganda. Little to no hope for Canada unless an anti-woke billionaire buys one of the major TV networks.

@1414Maple Thank you for your service! 🇨🇦 It's completely hypocritical of MAGAts to whine about their freedoms, then attack you for expressing your opinions. But sometimes hypocrisy is all losers have...

Tens of people went to see VP JD Vance at today’s Turning Point USA event

@jkenney Actually, he suggested it was a way to show your displeasure with Trump's policies, just like boycotting US made goods. But there was never an official policy directive from the the federal government to do it.

Wait... didn't he tell us Canadians to boycott the US, and not travel there???

@infernoliath @allenanalysis That's not entirely true. While refineries in eastern Canada get oil from the US Midwest, there are several refineries in eastern Canada that refine WCS that is shipped through the Enbridge Mainline network, while other ones refine oil from Newfoundland.

@Clareview_Dude @allenanalysis Yup, Alberta produces oil for US refineries, but not for Canada. Instead, Canada prefers to import oil from abroad, because pipelines eastward are bad.

Canada’s Defense Chief just told Canadians to prepare for large-scale conflict. “The world has changed. We have to get ready.” This week alone: Britain’s Armed Forces chief said the peace dividend is over. Canada’s Defense Chief says get ready for large-scale conflict. Australia refused the blockade and called for negotiation. Hungary rejected the authoritarian template. The Archbishop of Washington called the war unjust. The Pope called it a war crime. And tomorrow at 10 AM, the United States begins a unilateral naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz — without Congress, without allies, without a vote. The world is not moving toward peace. Every military leader in the Western alliance is telling their citizens the same thing in the same week. Prepare. The question nobody in Washington will answer is: for what?

@infernoliath @allenanalysis Canada produces more than enough of its own oil, and in fact, exports millions of barrels per day to the USA (over and above our own needs).

@allenanalysis A blockade of the strait forces Europe, Canada, China and so forth to buy oil from America, or oil America controls (Venezuela).

@gerryvarty @TheBlueGem3 @ABDanielleSmith It’s the Alberta Advantage. Pay more for less.

When your name is "piper4freedom" but you dont believe in freedom of choice. Your cousin was suffering daily, made their own choice, Canada allowed this freedom of choice. Don't be a ghoul.

🚨JUST IN: The leader of Britain’s Liberal Democrats just said it on the record. “Donald Trump is no leader of the free world. He’s a dangerous and corrupt gangster.” He’s also calling on Keir Starmer to cancel the King’s state visit to Washington before it’s too late.

Canadian visits to the US are down sharply and the trend is accelerating. Statistics Canada recorded a 31.5% drop in Canadian return trips from the US compared to February 2024, before trade tensions took hold. Land travel has been hit hardest, down 33% since April 2025, which matters because road crossings account for more than two-thirds of all Canadian trips to the US.  The contraction showed no sign of reversing in early 2026, with January data showing a year-over-year decline of roughly 23%, broad-based across all travel modes.  The economic damage is substantial. IMPLAN modeling projects that a sustained 20% drop in Canadian tourism alone could cost the US $4.2 billion in visitor spending and 35,000 jobs, with nearly $500 million in lost state and local tax revenues.  The Seattle Art Museum reported a 50% drop in Canadian visitors, while the Ringling Museum in Sarasota saw its Canadian numbers fall by more than half year-over-year.  Las Vegas finished 2025 with its lowest visitor count since 2010, excluding the COVID years.  Meanwhile, the money is staying home. Canadian domestic tourism GDP grew at an annualized 4.8% in Q4 2025, even as the broader economy contracted by 0.6%. Accommodation and dining spending within Canada rose 5.6% for the year.  Canadians are not travelling less. They are travelling differently, and the US is no longer the default destination.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1
