@YourAnonNews We'd like to apologize for sending you Canada's second most slappable face. Sorry. – sincerely, Canada (#1 is Jordan Peterson)

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

@elonmusk No political scientist in the world thinks fascism is far-left.

True

@RHPalmerston3 @ikwilson @cspotweet It is not an affirmative case for anything, because you can't shout 'democratic freedoms' while violating the law. That's WHY there is a judiciary, so politicians and lobby groups don't push past established legal boundaries.

@CraigFrancisCFD @ikwilson @cspotweet If this nonsense circumscribes democratic freedoms, that’s an affirmative case for secession. Indeed, looking at BC in particular that might be the strongest case for Western secession in general.

BREAKING: An Alberta judge has quashed a separatist petition, saying the provincial government had a duty to consult with First Nations. Justice Shaina Leonard says the petition should never have been issued. lethbridgeherald.com/news/national-…

@GarethCanada @ikwilson @cspotweet nah it doesn't demonstrate that at all, because the West has MORE treaties – and unlike some older ones, they're literally printed, signed contracts on paper. You separatists live in a world of alternative facts and alternative history.

@CraigFrancisCFD @ikwilson @cspotweet This actually perfectly demonstrates why we either need separation in the west, or Canada needs to be blown up and reconstituted as a republic, free from the Crown and its treaties. Race-based laws and rights are an abomination.

@ikwilson @cspotweet The First Nations consultations are going to be a rude awakening for UCP and separatist Albertans, and good. Because the separatists I see on X have literally no idea of Canadian history, law, or what Treaties entail. 🤷‍♂️

My read of Justice Leonard’s decision: it does not prohibit an Alberta independence referendum. The ruling is much narrower and merely technical. It says Bill 14’s transition provisions did not revive or validate the Sylvestre independence citizen-initiative petition after the earlier proposal had already been rejected. The decision today points to a cleaner lawful route: the secession referendum needs to be initiated by Alberta’s Cabinet under the Referendum Act, not through the Citizen Initiative Act. It also makes clear that the Government must consult First Nations before the vote, in case there is a potential impact on Treaty and traditional rights. That means the ball is now in the Smith government’s court to set the secession question for the October 2026 referendum (just like the Supreme Court of Canada envisioned in the 1998 Reference Case).

@MelissaLMRogers No, she ruled that the petition should not have been granted to proceed because there was no consultation as required by law. Smith and UCP keep changing laws to make it easier to separate and harder for Elections Alberta to regulate, but they can't supercede treaties.

NOW 🇨🇦 An Alberta judge has thrown out the SEPARATIST petition because indigenous First Nations groups argued that an independent Alberta would infringe on their land rights 🤯 This doesn’t sound democratic AT ALL

@JustinWolfers I believe that is the ultimate failure of Ted Turner's dream of cable news. We *should have* had time in a 24/7 news channel for deep dives, for multiple "60 Minutes" or "Last Week Tonight" long-form explainers, but instead we got almost nothing but pundits spouting opinions.

That's the gap. And it's why I'm doing this. Television tells stories but doesn't explain. A 90-minute lecture explains but doesn't travel. I'd like to build something in between. YouTube is where people are. So that's where I'm going. And substack. And podcasts. And socials.

A funny thing happened on the way to launch day. The @nytimes wrote about Platypus Economics. Brian O'Keefe asked tons of questions, interviewed all sorts of folks, and produced something I'm a little stunned by. nytimes.com/2026/05/06/bus… (gift link)

@CuisineInfamous @RealAlexJones *Morgan Freeman narrator voice* He did not, in fact, know his stuff. *plays 2015 video showing Jones claiming the government is putting chemicals in water to turn the population gay*

@RealAlexJones Infowars was a great medium. I still checked it all the time up until the end. I may not have agreed with Alex all the time but he exposed a lot. And knew his stuff.

@RealAlexJones like Russell Brand and Jordan Peterson, pivots to an overtly Christian grift ... the only reliable source of angry suckers in the US

@TheMale_Central I'd love to claim him! But I think it's just Ontario. You need to play a round of "Gay or Canadian?"

The f*gcent?

@elonmusk This you?

When violence is categorized accurately, this unequivocally true. You know who the bad guys are, because they’re the ones who want censorship of free speech.

@Kursk1939 @g2490C @JJ_McCullough Conservatives, easy. 3 Conservative premieres have already used MAGA / Russian style propaganda to harm trans youth, with the goal of removing queer people from public life.

@CraigFrancisCFD @g2490C @JJ_McCullough Craig, who do you think in Canada would be more likely to stick you in a concentration/work camp for holding the wrong political ideas? The Poilievre Conservatives or the Carney Liberals?

There’s a flattering narrative that Carney’s base is people who like that he went to Harvard and all that. Yesterday I was at a cafe beside an old couple yapping about how we should’ve “finished the job” in the 1812 war. I feel like that’s probably closer to the true Carney base.

@MacyGunnell "Privately funded"?! You're missing the entire yesterday news cycle, in which the GOP proposed $400 million of taxpayer money for it. The 'downside' is that the Republicans always steal public money for private interests, and then make it worse by privatizing public profits.

Can someone explain to me why the White House ballroom is a bad idea? Reasoning that isn’t just “we hate Trump and everything he does”? There’s genuinely no downsides. It’s privately funded and benefits everyone Trump could cure cancer and libs would still lose their minds 😂

@MarvinDank @JJ_McCullough "TDS" is a ridiculous term, especially when applied to an authoritarian. Wow, wanting democracy, how deranged! Most people who use the term "TDS" are in a cult.

@JJ_McCullough *flavour In the past 3 weeks I have had a bunch of meals with various wealthy Canadian boomers. The TDS is on constant display. It dominates the discussion at every gathering. I hope Trump never cures cancer. These people wouldn't survive.

@g2490C @JJ_McCullough In no way is it slop. It was a reaction to the Moral Majority in the 80's trying to bring religion into politics and public life by founding religious universities; a project that bore fruit in 2022 with the overturning of Roe v Wade. US Christian nationalism is very real.

@JJ_McCullough Dude just look at the Handsmaid tale by Margaret Atwood complete fucking anti American boomer slop. In the show Americans even go to Canada as refugees because it’s a progressive gay haven

@getreal_2020 @rosepetalpie @JenResistedAGN You’re minimizing it — he continues to claim they pleaded guilty (they didn’t) and that they are guilty (they aren’t) so aggressively they’re suing him for defamation. The buck of the problem of volatile language stops at him.

@rosepetalpie @JenResistedAGN It was brought up to him in 2024 so he indicated why he had believed their guilt at the time (as did juries back then).

I’m old enough to remember when Trump paid for full-page ads calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five—teenagers who were later exonerated.

@MattWalshBlog Re-read your first sentence again – you're thisclose to getting it

No president has ever been targeted for assassination three times. The level of political violence from the left is historic. We've never seen anything like it in the entire history of this nation. It's a five alarm fire. National emergency. Drastic measures must be taken.

@Gardenlady224 @AaronGunn @RHCconsulting more like Conservatives are cooked under Poilievre, whose outrage-farming and total lack of vision drove those MPs across the floor in the first place 🤷‍♂️

@AaronGunn @RHCconsulting Spot on, Aaron. These Liberals didn’t even win a proper mandate they grabbed majority power through byelections and floorcrossings, and now they’re already stacking committees to ram through their agenda with zero real oversight. Canadians are cooked under this government.

Wow. Breaking news tonight: the Liberals are already moving to use their new backdoor “majority” to stack parliamentary committees with Liberal MPs - limiting Parliament’s oversight powers and laying the groundwork to ram through their agenda (and who knows what else) on Canadians. The Liberals love their lofty rhetoric about compromise, the defence of institutions and bringing people together. But at the end of the day, the only real principle this party knows is power - power at all costs, power as an end in itself. And they won’t let something as pesky as an election result get in the way.

@MichaelCooperMP Girl.

OUTRAGEOUS Carney is ABUSING his power by seizing control of ALL parliamentary committees. Carney is using his new ILLEGITIMATE "majority" to STACK committees to block investigations into Liberal corruption & his vast conflicts. Conservatives will fight this POWER GRAB.

@sarobertsonca He's like a haunted Cabbage Patch Kid that's a horcrux for Stephen Harper

at this point, it's clear Andrew Scheer is just making it up as he goes along
