@sarobertson_ @Tintie4 That’s a conspiracy theory offered as commentary to discredit FN and detract from $500 billion being offered to separatists from the Trump Administration.

While russian politicians party in Venice, waves of missiles & drones have pounded Ukraine. People are under the rubble of an apartment building in Kyiv this morning. Important for the world to see this footage and stop inviting this terrorist state back into civilised society

And finally, Danielle Smith’s position on the issue is costing her. She’s down 17 points in favorability. A full 20 points below both Jason Kenney and Thomas Lukaszuk. Take that in! /fin

In the last few weeks, Alberta separatism has dominated headlines. Whether we like it or not, this debate is here, it's getting louder - and the pro-Canada side needs to show up. Let's talk about why and how we push back against Alberta separatism and fight for Canada. 🇨🇦

#ForeverCanadian movement is not standing down. Although Court, for a second time, ruled that there should be no referendum on the separatists’ question, our government sides with 25% over 75% of Albertans. It’s time for our government to listen to the vast majority of Albertans

Being a leader is difficult. At times, it challenges one to choose between what’s expedient and popular among supporters, or what’s difficult and unpopular. True leaders, often at the expense of personal popularity, do what’s right and work hard to bring her supporters along.

Chief Allan Adam on Danielle Smith calling Alberta judge's decision 'undemocratic': "It's a good win for Canada, it's a good win for Albertans. It is a democratic process because that's what the Constitution is there for."

Danielle Smith said today that she believes that citizen initiated referendum should be able to be asked on any topic at all. This is unbelievably dangerous for obvious reasons. Canada has hate speech laws for a reason. /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is exactly why the world is losing respect for the US.

What is “wokeism”? Is it believing in science? Is it believing LGBTQ people should not be persecuted? Is it believing that church and state should be separate? Is it believing in the dignity of those suffering in pain? Is it believing in rule of law? Is it believing in women’s reproductive rights? Is it because evil people need stupid people to be angry about goddam everything, all the goddam time, for no good goddam reason? Yeah. Wake up people. You’re being conned.

Truth teller!

Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined. “It’s bigger than Watergate.” “It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.” “It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.” “There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ” “Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.” “At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.” “And some of them took that deal.” “It’s one thing to be evil to a child.” “It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.” “The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?” @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY @Local12

Trump hat Europa einen Gefallen getan den es sich nie gewünscht hat. Kanada ist der 28. EU-Staat im Geiste. Carney war der erste nicht-europäische Regierungschef beim EPC-Gipfel. Erstes nicht-europäisches Land im EU-Sicherheitsprogramm SAFE. Rasmussen lanciert D7. Meloni verweigert Trumps Befehle. Pistorius unterzeichnet „Brave Germany". Kallas sagt: wir betteln nicht. Stubb sagt: das Blatt hat sich gewendet. Trump wollte Europa schwächen. Er hat es geeint. Kanada dazu gewonnen. Und eine neue Weltordnung in Gang gesetzt die ohne ihn funktioniert.

This is a BOOM, and just wait, you will see this with many of the 'shooters' or wannabe assassins!! Modus Operandi! Ala Cambridge Analytics!

@MarkJCarney @MWhalen1907 Can you send them all to Alberta? 🙏🙏🙏

Canadians deserve to feel safe in their communities. That’s why we’re strengthening the Criminal Code and hiring 1,000 more RCMP personnel across the country.

The Premier of AB wants to remain a talkshow host rather than act like the leader of our province. 1/5

So grateful that Marg is recovering. To all the first responders in #yeg who were involved, my sincere thanks as well! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Wow!

@ZelenskyyUa Absolutely! Give those children back Russia or face the wrath of the world.

Now we truly have a global Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children – from Canada and Latin America, from the United States and Argentina, to Europe and Japan. Today, Switzerland and Cyprus are joining our coalition. We now have almost 50 countries standing together in this coalition – and I am grateful for that. Almost every month, we see results. Children come home. But many more still need to come home. We must clearly document where the children are, track the full chain of abduction and the cover-up of this crime, bring the children back, and help them find themselves again and return to normal life. None of this is easy. But it is good that our Bring Kids Back UA initiative is working. It is good that you are active – at the level of the European Commission, European institutions, international organizations, and the leadership of every country. And I am especially grateful to the First Ladies who help to secure the release of these children. All of this must continue. From an address to the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children (2/3).

🇨🇦 I love you Calgary! “We gathered up as many banned books as we could find during the two‑week sort stage...We probably had over 200 of them…and they were sold out by Sunday afternoon, our third day of the sale.” calgary.citynews.ca/2026/05/11/alb…
