Cold air. Loud barns. Generations on our outdoor rinks. Alberta was selected to host the 2028 World Cup of Hockey because we were built for this.    There’s no better place to crown hockey’s best than in the heartland of hockey. Canada will be proud to welcome the world to Edmonton & Calgary in 2028, where we’ll be ready to win big.

Tyranny cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to it. Next Saturday, on the third No Kings Day, we will proclaim our refusal to submit. We will reaffirm that America Belongs to us. Some thoughts... robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thoug…

This American teenager gets it: “We don’t have money for universal healthcare or to make sure kids don’t go hungry in this country, but apparently we have $11.3 billion fucking dollars to burn in 7 days to start a war nobody ask for to bomb innocent school children, twice.”

UK 🇬🇧 tonight ‘approves’ the use of 🇬🇧 bases for 🇺🇸 to launch strikes on Iranian 🇮🇷 sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz
 The facade of ‘defensive strikes’ is a lie Starmer has taken 🇬🇧 into an illegal war No debate No Parliament vote Party to an illegal war Again Shameful.

Wonder how much Tina Peters paid for that ad.

Tina Peters was convicted of Conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation and breaching election security systems. She is a criminal inspired by Trump’s lies about a stolen election. Good Saturday

This woman lives in Colorado and found out that Trump vetoed the Clean Water Drinking Bill because he was mad at the Colorado Governor because he won’t release Tina Peters a Trump Loyalist. See Tina Peters is in prison for Voter tampering & fraud which she was convicted of! 🤬

@SenSchumer Mike Johnson was caught on a hot mic talking about the SAVE Act and how much it'd suppress the voters, 150 million people have to reregister to vote, and it takes 5 years to get a passport of course voter turnout would be 12-18%. Republicans gotta go.

This is corruption. Everyone knows this is corruption. And the Republicans who spent years questioning every move that Hunter Biden made are absolutely silent about the shameless corruption happening out in the open.

BREAKING: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says the plan for “Project 2029” is to have the Trump administration criminally prosecuted.

40 minors gave sworn testimonies that they’d been raped & trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. Kash Patel Under Oath: “There’s no credible information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors” FBI Kash Patel needs to be charged with perjury.

Breaking: The President's son is on a heater Donald Trump Jr's fund invested in one of the only U.S. rare earth magnet startups at a $200M valuation Three months later, the Pentagon awarded Vulcan a $620M loan and the Commerce Dept took a $50M equity stake In February, Trump announced a $12B rare earth strategic reserve Today, the company is now valued at $2 billion. That's a 10x for Trump Jr in under a year Vulcan is building the largest rare earth magnet factory outside of China. The U.S. says it needs to stop relying on China, which controls 90% of global rare earth processing The timing is either the greatest coincidence in investing history, or it isn't

BREAKING: If the U.S. conducts a “military attack” on the strategically critical Kharg Island, Iran says it will threaten shipping in the Bab el Mandeb Strait. With the Strait of Hormuz already effectively shut down, disrupting roughly 20% of global oil flows, this escalation would be devastating for the United States and the global economy. If Iran targets the Bab el Mandeb Strait, which carries a significant share of oil bound for Europe and beyond, it would choke off one of the last major alternative routes. Tankers would be forced to reroute around Africa, dramatically increasing costs, delays, and energy prices worldwide . In short: with Hormuz already compromised, losing Bab el Mandeb too would create a near worst-case scenario, effectively strangling global energy supply chains and hitting the U.S. economy hard through soaring oil prices, inflation, and supply shocks.

I asked a retired U.S. Marine familiar with amphibious operations about a MEU on Kharg Island. Granted, this person doesn't have "OSINT" in his Twitter bio, so what the hell would he know? But this is what he told me, contra Trump's claim this is a "simple military maneuver": "Amphibious landings are by nature high risk and a lot can go wrong even in the best conditions. The Marine Corps has lost equipment during exercises, for example when an Abrams tank was sunk during an exercise on the coast of Spain in the 2010s. "An amphibious landing on Kharg is within the capability of the United States to accomplish, but at what cost and to what end? Once the Marines fight their way ashore and take their objective, they will be on an island with limited cover, very close to hostile Iran. How long could the Marines hold this island, under bombardment, before they would need to be withdrawn? "As for the danger, I think of amphibious assault as being akin to airborne assault. A lot of this depends on the tactical advantage of speed and surprise. "What the Marines are working against here is that everyone knows they're coming. And there are only so many places that are suitable for a landing. Need a suitable approach, favorable tides, etc. the Iranians understand this and will plan for it. "It is reasonable to expect that they will try to attack the transports en route, that they will attack while the ships unload, that they will attack the landing craft while they move from the ships to the beach, and that the troops will be attacked as they assault from the beach to their objectives. "Once the Marines are at their objective, they'll be attacked there too because Iran, and any other interested party to the conflict, will know exactly where the Marines are. "We're also 13 years removed from major combat operations in GWOT. There are still combat veterans at middle and upper echelons, but the majority of troops are not combat veterans. They're new guys."

BOMBSHELL: Epstein's accountant testified that the estate settled with Jane Doe 4 for BOTH Epstein and Trump. Her files were completely hidden until Trump bombed Iran to change the subject. The coverup is unraveling on live TV.

I think it's very obvious what the best decision is for the PM official residence. The fact of the matter is, despite the crowing from some loud elite pundit voices, Canadians absolutely do not want our PM living in opulence. The Prime Minister does not need a Palace. Entertaining special guests of the state, and honouring great Canadians, is the duty of the Governor-General NOT the Prime Minister. That's what Rideau Hall exists for. Nor does the Prime Minister need a working residence like the White House. The Prime Minister already has an entire stately building for day to day governing. Most Canadians don't know that this building is the Prime Minister's Office directly across the street from Parliament Hill. The PM does NOT need a White House because the PM already has an official stately building for the exclusive use of the PM, his staff and the Privy Council. The Prime Minister merely needs a secure comfortable place to live with his family. The best, and most fiscally responsible option, is clear: buy an existing large Ambassador's residence that's already outfitted for security in Rockcliffe. (I understand the Rockcliffe Residents' Association opposes this option on the basis that the RCMP will close public access to large parts of Rockcliffe Park. But I'm sure some reasonable compromises can be made there.) This is also the fastest option. Renovating 24 Sussex would cost upward of .5 BILLION dollars. There's no way Canadians would accept that. We should drop the idea entirely and focus on existing real estate in Rockcliffe that don't require major work. Let's get it done. Let's get the Prime Minister properly housed setting a deadline of 12 months. (Fin)

Donald Trump is a pedophile. Pam Bondi lied under oath. And every Democrat needs to do what Dan Goldman is doing. Stand in front of a camera and tell us what’s in the Epstein files. Thank you, Dan Goldman.

#WhenWomenRiseWeAllRise Ambassador Njeri Karago is a phenomenal woman. A  force of nature ,imdb.com/name/nm0438757/ ; a visionary tv.apple.com/us/person/njer…,  a trailblazer tv.apple.com/us/person/njer… and mentor to many incredible filmmakers. @CEPMediaHubs

Dua Lipa on the Epstein files: “The way the crimes have been reported does such a disservice to the victims. Stories talk about underage girls and sex parties rather than writing about victims who are children who were trafficked and raped. It’s almost putting everything under a veil to protect — I don’t know — the reader, or to mask what is actually happening.” She’s right. Language is not neutral. “Sex parties” obscures child rape. “Underage girls” obscures child victims. “Jeffery Epstein’s associates” obscures child traffickers. “Controversial financier” obscures a convicted sex offender. The media’s language choices for 20 years protected the powerful and erased the children. The Deputy AG admitted withholding footage of “death, physical abuse, and injury.” Half of 6 million documents remain sealed. The House Oversight Committee just subpoenaed Pam Bondi for April 14th. Thomas Massie is threatening to read the names on the House floor. A prison guard who was there the night Epstein died testifies before Congress this month. Dua Lipa said what every journalist covering this should have said years ago. They were children. Say that part. Never stop connecting the dots.
