How sad that women are being erased to appease mentally ill men. It’s unforgivable. Women need to rise up and fight this stupidity!! #womensupportwomen #transwomenaremen

@PeterGuthrie99 Oh stop the BS grifter

Follow the access. Follow the money. When serious concerns are raised, verified, and formally provided to government, they should be acted on - not ignored. Instead, we’re seeing a pattern: insiders get access, while accountability is nowhere to be found. Even as individuals tied to procurement controversies, court proceedings, and RCMP investigations - including search warrants served- continue to have access to power and public funds. Today in the Legislature, I asked direct questions about yet another scandal - what was known, what was ignored, and why. Because when it comes to taxpayer dollars, Albertans deserve answers. #ableg #abpoli #alberta #abtory #albertatory

@nenshi Why are you @nenshi still lying? Who the fuck do you think you’re fooling at this point?

Why is Danielle Smith accepting private jets and luxury hotel stays worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from a foreign government?

@sunlorrie Bull. Shit.

@stephen_taylor @lamphieryeg Perfect for all the elbozos 🤯

Stunning and brave.

@kinsellawarren This. Is. The. Biggest. GRIFTER. Of. The. Free. World. Let’s get your facts straight.

The leader of the free world is this man. The leader of the free world - this fearless, decent, brilliant man - is also a Jew.

@brucefanjoy Fuck off you moron. Your chief blew this stupidity out of the water a short while ago. Get with the program.

Over 40,000 people have already signed the petition requiring all federal party leaders to seek and maintain top security clearance. How many will it take to convince the lone leader who refuses? ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…

@saskatchewan_in @MarkGerretsen They make me sicker and sicker with their actions every single day.

🤦🏼‍♀️.@MarkGerretsen LOVES to claim he “talks to people all the time.” No. He talks AT people. 🗣 Usually through carefully locked social media posts where comments are turned off so the public cannot reply. Digital Courage. Like Liquor Courage without the hangover. Credit to the women in this video though. They did what his comment section never gets to do. They spoke back. And what did Kingston’s fearless Liberal MP do? He ran like a little bitch.🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️ Not metaphorically. Literally. The man fled, leaving the person he was sitting with behind at the table like abandoned luggage. Now here’s the part that makes this even richer. This is the MP for Kingston. A city practically built around Canada’s military and maritime services: • Canadian Forces Base Kingston • Royal Military College of Canada • HMCS Cataraqui • Fort Henry National Historic Site • Fort Frederick • Vimy Barracks • Kingston Garrison • Military Communications and Electronics Museum • Canadian Forces Health Services Centre Kingston • Canadian Defence Academy • Canadian Coast Guard Base Kingston A city full of soldiers, cadets, sailors, and coast guard personnel. And their MP runs away from two women asking questions in search of accountability at the Cataraqui Centre food court. But here’s the darker, pathetic part. This is also a man sitting in a government that withheld information from Canadians about our troops being targeted by Iran. And before anyone tries the usual dodge, remember just 2 days ago that @MarkJCarney himself made it clear he is not the only person in government capable of informing the public about things they should know. (Why is everyone in the Liberal Party named Mark/Marc such a coward?) So what exactly stopped Gerretsen from saying something? Nothing. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada. And while all this is going on, Canadian soldiers have recently been reporting frostbite during winter exercises in Latvia because the military could not even get proper cold weather gear into their hands on time. Frostbite. In the Canadian Army. In a country that practically invented winter. Yet Kingston’s MP cannot face two constituents in a food court. One would think that a Carney Liberal MP in Carney’s "New Liberal Government" representing a military town and a college town full of bright young minds might remember who he works for. The soldiers. The cadets. The base commanders. The students. The ordinary Canadians who live there. Instead they get a man who bolts from a table the moment a citizen asks a question. As Stephen King wrote in The Dark Tower, “You have forgotten the face of your father.” And judging by this performance, Mark Gerretsen has forgotten the faces of the people he was sent to Ottawa to represent. That takes a VERY particular breed of Liberal gobshite. And I suspect more than a few people in Kingston’s military community are looking about 85 km east to the riding represented by Michael Barrett and quietly wishing they had that MP instead. (Credit to @ryangerritsen for posting the video where I found it and to @vicganoman for recording it. Full disclosure: I attended both college and university in Kingston) #cdnpoli #LiberalsAreCowards

@validmavericity @ABDanielleSmith @nenshi He destroyed himself and YYC. Shut your mouth. Double and triple property taxes for the business community during his term. How many businesses did he take out?!?

The real story? @ABDanielleSmith is trying to destroy @nenshi She is utterly despicable.

@GuySimpsonAB @mark_slapinski No it was in my feed. Never again though. He’s muted now. Thanks for playing. Bye 👋🏼

@saskatchewan_in @holdthelibe That’s where I’m at. My sister tested negative for it. Your respirologist is smart. That’s a good way to look at it. My kid struggles with the CTEPH from the PE more than the COPD. I wish your daughter could experience GP’s. They can be wonderful people. ♥️♥️

It seems to skip relatives. I am just over the threshold for it. It affects my lungs and kidneys. Mostly my lungs. I cannot carry anything iver 5 pounds and walk up stairs or carry anything heavy more than a few yards at a time. My respirologist in Stoon said as long as I don't start living like a frat boy engaging in behaviours like smoking and alcohol I shouldn't progress like my mom. She survived 16 years with her transplant before passing in 2013. I often think of how much delight and joy she would have taken with my youngest. I feel bad for my daughter. Her dad and I are referred to as sunset parents. I was 40 and her dad was 53 when she was born. She will never know the joy and love of grandparents. It bothers me so much that I considered starting up a new chapter to the big brothers/sisters program: Big Grandparents... for kids with no grandparents and seniors who have no grandkids in their lives. The young ones can learn from seniors, and the seniors can enjoy the wonders that come with having young kids in their lives... and they even get to send them home like regular grandparents do after stuffing their grandkids with sugar🤣

Dear Carney: Should I Let Him Kill Us? Dear Dear Mark Carney, You often speak about Canada becoming an “increasingly dangerous and divided world.” It is one of your favourite phrases. You deliver it with great gravity, usually while standing at a podium with cameras and dire global economic forecasts. So let me tell you what “increasingly dangerous” looked like in my house two weeks ago. Seven o’clock in the evening. Still light outside on the prairie. My eleven year old daughter is in her bedroom across the hall winding down for the night, in her pajamas. I am in mine doing the same. I can look to my left and see her in her reading in her bed. A little over six months ago I became a widow. Which means the house is quieter now. No second set of footsteps. No other adult voice anywhere in the house. Just all five feet three inches of me. Fifty one years old. COPD in the lungs. One daughter across the hall. And then a stranger walked straight into my house. No forced entry. No dramatic crash of glass. He simply opened the door and wandered inside. The man was so drunk he could barely stand. His speech was a slurry fog of broken syllables. He might have been asking to borrow a cup of sugar. He might have been threatening to slit my throat. There was absolutely no way to know. Under his eye were tear drop tattoos. The kind police recognize instantly. The kind commonly worn by men who have killed someone. In his hand he carried a mostly full 26 oz bottle of booze. A bottle which, if smashed, becomes a very effective weapon. Especially if it's smashed against the side of my head. So yes, Mr. Prime Minister, you are quite right: The world is increasingly dangerous. Sometimes it even walks through your front door. 📜Ottawa’s Preferred Script Now here is where Canadian law enters the story. Apparently in this moment of invasion of my home, I am supposed to pause and carefully analyze what level of force might be “reasonable.” Call the police. Wait patiently. Attempt to de escalate. Perhaps politely ask the intoxicated stranger with prison tattoos why he has entered my home uninvited while my daughter panics and hides across the hall under her bed. She is high-functioning autistic. I assure you, she is not even remotely close to processing this scene in any calm way. And there is still one small complication. I have COPD. Running for my life is not an option. And even if it were, I am not leaving my daughter behind to test whether the man wandering my home is merely confused or something much worse. So let me be clear. Whether Castle Law exists or not, if a stranger walks into my house I am going to defend myself. Shoot first. Ask questions later, as the saying goes. Because in an increasingly dangerous world, a widowed mother does not have the luxury of waiting around to discover which kind of drunk stranger has entered her home. ⚖️ The Liberal Justice System: Four Hour Consequences Of course the real absurdity comes afterwards. Under the justice reforms Canada has seen since 2015 under Liberal governance, criminals are often arrested, booked, and released in roughly four hours. Four hours, Mark. Which means the man who wanders into someone’s house intoxicated might be back on the street before the homeowner has even finished filing their statement. It is a remarkably efficient system for criminals with no compunction. Danger enters the house. Police process the paperwork. The criminal returns to circulation. Meanwhile the homeowner is expected to stand there politely and weigh the philosophical nuances of proportional force. Apparently in this increasingly dangerous world, the only person who must remain calm, restrained, and legally cautious is the victim. 🏰Castle Law Is Not Radical Today, some members of the opposition Conservative Party proposed strengthening Castle Law protections. The idea is almost laughably simple. If someone unlawfully enters your home, you have the right to defend yourself and your family. You should not have to worry that prosecutors will later analyze your survival instincts under a microscope. Your home is your castle. Criminals should understand that breaking into someone’s house carries real risk. That hesitation is called deterrence. And strangely enough, deterrence tends to reduce danger. Which seems like a useful concept in what you repeatedly describe as an increasingly dangerous world. 🌄 Rural Reality Out here in a small village in Saskatchewan, police response is not instantaneous. Sometimes it takes time. Sometimes quite a bit of time. When someone enters your house, the first responder is not a police officer. It is you. And when you are a widowed mother with an eleven year old daughter hiding under her bed in terror mere feet away, the calculation becomes brutally simple. There are only two people in that house whose safety matters. And in an increasingly dangerous world, waiting politely for the legal department to approve your survival instincts is not a workable strategy. ⁉️ A Question From the Prairies Let us try a quick thought experiment. Picture a quiet evening at Rideau Cottage. You are enjoying a good book with a drink in hand. Your wife is inside doing whatever it she does. Perhaps one of your children is visiting. The grounds are calm. Then a man appears on the property. He is not supposed to be there. He is moving around the grounds. Trying doors. Fogging up window glass as he peers inside. Let us say he is from Manitoba. Let us say he has a bag containing several firearms. And just for argument’s sake, let us say he is a trained Canadian Ranger. A man with genuine weapons training. Now let us imagine something unusual happens. The RCMP guard rotation is delayed. Shift change is taking forever. The officer who should be on duty has not been fully briefed yet by the officer going off duty and has yet to arrive to his station. For a brief moment, there is no one between that stranger and your front door. Just you. So what do you do? Do you step outside and begin lecturing him on decarbonized fuels and the moral complexities of proportional force in the face of climate change? Do you deliver a thoughtful reflection about living in an increasingly dangerous and divided world with your elbows up to demonstrate how serious you are? Or do you do what every human being who loves their family would do and defend your home? Defend the people inside it? Because if your answer is anything other than protecting your family, then you are not being honest. And if that is the answer you would choose at Rideau Cottage, then you already understand the point. The principle does not change just because the house is smaller and the address is not in Ottawa. A home is a home. A family is a family. 🫣 The Right Ottawa Pretends Not to Understand You and your government are very fond of imposing rules on Canadians. Carbon rules. Speech rules. Regulatory rules. Fiscal rules. But when it comes to the one place a citizen should have absolute authority, suddenly Ottawa becomes very philosophical. Yet the reality is painfully obvious. In an increasingly dangerous world, criminals will continue to make bad decisions. The question is whether Canadian law will continue pretending the homeowner is the one who must apologize for surviving them. Because the moment a criminal crosses that threshold uninvited, the social contract is already over. They made their choice. And any law that expects a widowed mother with COPD to stand there politely negotiating with a drunken stranger holding a weapon sized bottle of liquor while her daughter hides under the bed is not enlightened. It is asinine. ☝🏻 One Simple Instruction So here is the request. If you truly believe Canada is living in an increasingly dangerous and divided world, then act like it. Instruct your caucus to stop playing ideological games with the safety of ordinary Canadians and allow MP Cabena’s Castle Law proposal to pass unanimously and become enshrined in law. Because if the Prime Minister of Canada expects every homeowner to show restraint while criminals wander their home, then the Prime Minister of Canada should at least have the honesty to explain why the family behind the security perimeter at Rideau Cottage deserves the right to defend itself, while a widowed mother in rural Saskatchewan is expected to stand politely in her hallway and debate legal theory with a drunken stranger holding a weapon sized bottle of liquor. My daughter’s bedroom is across the hall. In an increasingly dangerous world, her safety is not a slogan. It is the ONLY thing that matters. 🏠 Melanie in Saskatchewan 👇🏻 buymeacoffee.com/melanieinsaska… 👇🏻 open.substack.com/pub/melanieins…
