🚨 Danielle Smith flew solo to Mar-a-Lago. Refused to sign the joint tariff statement. Cut the referendum threshold in half. Said nothing while Trump officials met Alberta separatists three times inside a classified US facility. Defunded Elections Alberta before any of it began. Then 2.9 million Albertans had their data stolen. Her staff were in the room. This is not incompetence. This is a plan.#abpoli #cdnpoli #CenturionProject #DanielleSmith

🇨🇦 Arlene Dickinson laying out the Danielle Smith UCP problem. 👇 "Sorry but this isn’t western alienation. This isn’t a protest vote. This sure appears to be a deliberate step-by-step attempt to dismantle Canadian democracy and Albertans deserve SO much better."

(I originally wrote this 6 years ago on the 75th anniversary of the liberation. Just changed “75” to “81”) ————- 81 years ago. Today. In our family, and in the community I grew up in, this day was one of the most magical moments anyone could imagine. It was the day that candy bars were dropped from the sky into the fields surrounding the canals behind people's homes. It was the first time many kids had tasted them. Both my parents were born in 1940, after the war had already begun. As children, they knew about making sure windows were dark/lights were turned off at night, they knew that the Jews they were hiding in their basement (along with the sugar, tobacco and shortwave radio to listen to "Shur-shill") could get them all killed. The latter half of the 1940's were not much better for a lot of Dutch people. The post-war hardship took its toll. The economy took time to recover. One quarter of my mom's village left by the early 1950's mostly to Canada, some to the US and Australia. And why not leave everything behind and take on this adventure to the country that liberated us? For our deeply religious forbearers, Canada sounded a lot like Canaan, the Biblical land of milk and honey. While most were coming to Canada as farm-hands, labourers and construction workers, they were also coming to build a new life - new schools, new churches, and new communities. I was raised in a neighbourhood where so many of our Dutch Christian Reformed congregation lived, in St. Thomas, Ontario. My neighbourhood was Dutch like Richmond is Chinese or Surrey is Indian. I went to those Dutch schools. I was raised more ethnically than most of the "ethnic" people I know. I didn't even know that many "Canadians" when I was a kid except for a couple friends down the street. They were the ones who didn't understand why we weren't available on Sundays, and were fascinated to see how much our lives revolved around a strict schedule for pretty much everything. For me, delving into mainstream Canadian society didn't really happen until I got involved in politics in high school, joining the Liberal Party and meeting like-minded people who were quite different from the quirky Calvinists I grew up with. This made me become a prouder Canadian as time went on. It was Canadian Liberalism, under Pierre Trudeau, that fought against the nationalism threatening to break Canada apart in the 1980's. And it was Canada's military that saved the Dutch from its much more dangerous form in the 1940's. This is the Canada that provides hope for so many of our planet's refugees and immigrants today. We know Canada is a great country. One of the best countries in the world to call home. (The Netherlands is right up there as well. I love visiting there, and I do feel eerily at home there too.) Thank you Canada! Thank you to those brave Canadian soldiers who saved us! I love you with all of my heart.

This day in 1945, Liberation Day in the Netherlands, the end of 5 years of occupation by Nazi Germany. By the end of the war, nearly 206,000 Dutch men and women had died of war-related causes, the highest per capita death rate in Western Europe (2.36%) #WW2

@Gabecollier95 @AdamsOnHockey Absolutely infuriating that they turned these 3 into Savoie, Frederic and Tommy Lafrenière. And the fact that no one has gotten fired for that yet is truly incredible.

I warned Elections Alberta about the potential Centurion Initiative data breach on March 31. They did Sweet FA for almost a month. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/theline/p/…

About a month ago I was reliably informed — by the most insufferable people on earth — that winning a single tournament means you automatically become the best in history at that sport. Congrats to Venezuela, the greatest baseball country in the history of the game. 🇻🇪 🥳

The alignment of ON with old convoy-turned separatist sponsors is almost enough for me to unfollow everyone.

@JasonGregor There’s rough line changes, and then there’s staring at the 2 on 1 that’s about to happen because you’re changing and still deciding to do it

Walman with a rough line change. Leads to Leafs 2-on-1. Ingram makes a big stop, but Leafs keep puck in zone and Maccelli redirects home a point shot. 1-0 TOR.

@Archaeologuy Had all day behind the net to clear the puck high up the middle of the ice, but instead decided to snap it around the boards where it was predictably kept in rather easily.

158 Canadian soldiers died fighting with the US when article 5 was triggered on their behalf. This is worse than pissing on their graves. Yet people on both sides of the border will still defend this.

Trump on NATO: We have never needed them. We have never needed asked anything of them. You know they say they sent troops to Afghanistan, and they did. They stayed a little back, little off the frontlines.

This morning’s military raid by the United States inside Venezuela to capture Nicolás Maduro Moros is likely to have wide-reaching implications. From a Canadian perspective, many of those implications are related to oil. Let’s see if we can parse them. 1/
