An Indigenous-led, satirical show production has been paused over controversy from guests who say they felt misled. Niigaan Sinclair says the issue has given fodder to those who spread misinformation about residential schools. Watch more Truth & Politics: youtu.be/_pE77Z6hhsE

Thomas Massie chose to end his career with this despicable line about Congressman-elect Ed Gallrein: “I had to find him in Tel Aviv.” Rather than exit with dignity, Massie just proved President Trump was right to send him into early retirement.

It's quite hilarious to watch Trump's most sycophantic defenders sanctimoniously lecture Thomas Massie on the solemn, sacred duty to leave the stage gracefully after an election defeat. And -- as always in pro-Israel discourse -- it's accompanied by accusations of bigotry.

I love Alberta. I grew up here. Built my life here. Watched my siblings raise their children here. My family built businesses here. My parents taught at the University of Alberta and helped shape generations of students. My grandfather was awarded the Order of Canada for his contributions to this province and played a role in keeping the Edmonton Oilersfrom leaving Edmonton. I am as Albertan as they come. But I am every bit as proud to be Canadian. So when I see people trying to convince Albertans that our future lies in separation, I reject it completely. Alberta’s strength has never come from walking away. It has come from building, contributing, fighting to be heard, and helping shape this country into something better. I will spend every ounce of energy I have defending federalism, defending Canada, and keeping this beautiful province exactly where it belongs: in Canada.

Ridiculous stat, from @NHLPR: * Nathan MacKinnon has scored a goal in 46.2% of his career playoff games (48/104 GP), tied with Craig Simpson (31/67 GP; 46.2%) for the third-highest rate in NHL history, behind Mario Lemieux (58/107 GP; 54.2 %), Mike Bossy (60/129 GP; 46.5%)

@acoyne Canada is too large with a defunct parliamentary system of government. It cannot survive and nor should it.

One more thought on the CBC residential school prank story: I've taught enough Indigenous kids and worked with enough Indigenous families to be persuaded that the Indian Residential Schools remain a genuine source of pain for many, many people, notwithstanding all the nuances in their histories. (I'm thinking of a man I knew who attributed his own alcoholism to the pain of child separation in an IRS, but who still insisted his granddaughter go to Catholic school and make her first communion--people are complex). Because I recognize this is such a source of pain, I would have the judgment not to make a whole sketch comedy routine about it or crack jokes featuring the supposed shoes of kids who'd died. That the CBC's team lacked that judgment shows how too many within it see this issue: not as a source of pain and complexity, but as a tool they can use to make fun of those with whom they disagree. It's insulting and instrumentalizing, not thoughtful or even clever, and it shows just how unserious they are about Indigenous people and our shared history.

I didn’t want to be right when I said this would happen, I wanted to stop it from happening. Some of you made this dude famous and enabled him because you wanted this to happen. He wont get off on self defense, he wont be able to spend whatever money he raised on anything but a lawyer and commissary, and he changed nothing, because it was never about free speech, it was about clout. He just threw his fucking life away for clicks, and a man may or may not be dead for your fucking entertainment. Fuck all of you.
FearBuck@FearedBuck

ChudTheBuilder shot a man who attacked him outside a courthouse in Clarksville & accidentally grazed himself in the process. Before it escalated, he asked the man if he was going to “chimp out” the man then walked up & sucker punched him. It is unclear if the man survived.

Smith has made them relevant. She can undo that catastrophic error by not holding a referendum on separation and telling the separatists they need to win an election to meet their goals. And then kick them all out of the @Alberta_UCP as its constitution requires.

They never do. Read The Morning After, by Chantal Hebert and Jean Lapierre. Twenty years after the 95 referendum, the major players *still* hadn’t figured out what they would have done in the event of a yes vote. It was all just bluff and improv. But anyone who does try to game the thing out with any rigour pretty quickly comes to the conclusion that it can’t be done: not unilaterally/illegally, and not by negotiation/constitutionally. That needs to be communicated to people. But what needs to be communicated even more is that the whole enterprise is illegitimate; that there is not, and cannot be, any such thing as a right to secede from a democratic country (which is why virtually no democratic country recognizes such a right); that threatening to do so to blackmail your fellow Canadians is as morally bankrupt as it is practically futile; that the attempt to invoke democratic principle in its defence is bogus — you cannot vote to help yourself to something that isn’t yours, namely the territory of Canada — while the right of self determination simply folds in on itself: if Albertans or Quebecers have a right to self determination, do Edmontonians or Montrealers? For that matter, do Canadians? Or is the proposition that the vast majority of Canadians must simply stand mute while their country, which tens of millions have built over several centuries, is blown apart by a single vote on a single day by a small fraction of the population? Even if either Alberta or Quebec had been sovereign states prior to entering the federation, that would not hold water: once you’ve dissolved your sovereignty in the larger entity, you can’t reconstitute it. It no longer exists. There’s nothing to reconstitute it with. But it’s just gaga to make such claims with regard to a province that, like Alberta, was itself the creation of an Act of the Parliament of Canada, or like Quebec, of the Parliament of Great Britain — and then only the relatively minor rump that was carved out of the pre-existing Province of Canada at Confederation. Two thirds of the present-day territory of the province of Quebec was added after Confederation — again, by acts of the Parliament of Canada. So there’s no actual likelihood of Canada breaking up, even if there is a referendum in either or both provinces, and even in the vanishingly unlikely event that either or both of them managed to win a “clear majority” on a “clear question.” What is possible is that either or both of them might land themselves in a ruinous, divisive, and possibly violent mess, whose costs would mostly be borne by their own citizens. But we do not make that prospect more likely by rushing to make offers to dissuade them from leaving or going to great lengths to show “the federation works.” The committed hardliners regard such offers with contempt while the cynical blackmailers regard them as a baseline from which to make further demands. Neither is anything achieved by saying “fine, go.” Acquiescing in the theft of Canadian territory and the destruction of the federation hardy counts as a “tough” position. No, the proper stance is to advertise, well in advance, that neither exercise will be regarded as conferring any right to secede of any kind; that whatever we might be willing to talk about afterward, it would not be secession. It might not even be as advantageous as the status quo.
Don Braid@DonBraid

Separatist leaders hate Canada but have no real plan for secession. Why is that? Do they count on the U.S. to step in? Column calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg

@jpolly22 The entire world witnessed the head to head matchup at the Olympics. Makar crumbled and sold team Canada. Hughes was named the best defenseman at the highest stage of hockey. Now the playoffs. 14 points vs 5. Not close. Hughes been the best since 2023. It’s not 2022 anymore.
