Alberta has been governed by conservatives for nearly 60 years. If healthcare is strained, schools underfunded, housing unaffordable, and the economy unstable, blaming the NDP after one 4-year term isn’t analysis — it’s political amnesia
oh noooo it sure would be a shame if roughly 121,000 people living a predominantly conservative area refused to be counted in the census and accidentally eliminated a conservative electoral riding
@VeryBadLlama Pretty sure Chinada has crossed the Rubicon with elections anyway. Not much point in voting when the people we vote for turn around and shit on the voters.
Liberals can have this suck shit country, the smart money is leaving.
@mobinfiltrator@OttawaPolice Let’s keep in mind these cops are heavily vaccinated with that poison that has been proven to alter behavior and brain fog. Not making excuses but rather prepare people for what they are going to be dealing with.
Every fucking day …
Second one from @OttawaPolice today alone …
… this time following an off-duty incident investigated by Kingston Police after a request from Ottawa Police Service.
Originally charged with assault and criminal harassment in March.
Now, after further investigation, facing additional charges of careless use and careless storage of a firearm.
Re-arrested April 27.
Released again on conditions - for a firearms offence.
This isn’t just “off-duty behaviour.”
When a sworn officer is now facing firearms-related criminal charges, it raises serious questions about judgment, training, and oversight.
Also worth noting:
External service brought in, standard for independence.
Details withheld, ongoing case.
No name released, yet.
But the pattern is what matters.
- Unauthorized database searches.
- Use of force issues.
- Now off-duty criminal/ firearm charges.
These aren’t isolated incidents anymore. That can no longer be a police department defense.
Public trust isn’t lost in one incident, it’s lost in repetition.
And we see it daily.

@KobeissiLetter This is fabricated. Brent is trading nowhere near $119.50 and there is no "Iran War" underway. The IEA never made that statement. Posting fake breaking news with fabricated price levels and false institutional quotes is reckless.
BREAKING: Brent crude oil prices officially surge to their highest level of the Iran War, at $119.50/barrel.
This puts Brent crude oil prices at their highest level since 2022.
The IEA has called this the “biggest energy security threat in history.“
So much of their programming is about misery and minutiae and the ceaseless celebration of victimhood. And you know exactly which broadcaster I'm talking about. I don't even have to say it.
@JeffBursey@kinsellawarren But I thought Trump said that the June 2025 US attacks completely and totally obliterated the nuclear enrichment facilities?
@j_hyphen_p@MikePMoffatt Just reduce spending... Why didn't anyone else think of this? Maybe you can point to a few municipalities that have been able to meaningfully reduce their spending.
More realistic solution is to shift burden to property taxes. Like it used to be done in the 60's.
wouldn't the real solution be:
- pressure cities to actually reduce DCs (thereby forcing them to find ways to reduce spending)
- let some developers who went all in on dog-crate condos go out of business (encouraging others to diversify their builds)
this just seems to kick the can down the road for cheap political points
New at the Star! The Fed-Ontario development charge deal will make new homes more affordable and help build more of them. We need other provinces to follow suit (looking your way, B.C.), along with permanent, transformative change to DCs.

@FakeBritTweets@ScottAAitchison but government regulation and development charges are reducing supply... which you correctly point out is raising prices
Taxes and red tape are crushing the dream of home ownership.
Over 30% of the cost of a home in parts of Ontario and B.C. now comes from government charges.
In the GTA, development fees alone can be close to $200,000.
Mamdani's wife posts slurs against gays, Jews and blacks that are so bad nobody will even quote them in full. Think about that: no decent person will say what she said, even to quote her. share.google/7ADgojx3vKUUa7…
My latest, on the failure of the Iran war’s boosters to think this through: before you can say the end justifies the means, you should know, at a minimum, what the ends are, whether the means are likely to achieve the ends, and at what cost and consequence theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
@tom_yanko@acoyne "What if, in fact, the war leaves even more hardline, more repressive leaders in power, even more determined to go nuclear?" No one is saying the Iranian regime isn't a bunch of murderous thugs, just that this war may have to opposite effect than what's desired
@deltasense1@acoyne in case you missed it: "What if, in fact, the war leaves even more hardline, more repressive leaders in power, even more determined to go nuclear?"
Canadians need to hear from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre directly on this. Does the Official Opposition take the balanced position expressed by Harper, or is Jamil Jivani in charge and pushing the CPC’s foreign policy in a pro-Trump direction that blames the Canadian People for the actions of an unstable, unreliable, and untrustworthy U.S. Administration? Canadians need to know.
@SpencerFernando Jamil's approach is the balanced position expressed by Harper.
I don't know why you're saying otherwise, or why you're trying to frame Jamil's admonishment of failed, destructive Liberal policy as pro-Trump or him blaming the Canadian people.
