An Edmonton city councillor wants to rename the stretch of 99 Avenue beside the Alberta Legislature to “Forever Canadian Avenue” amid ongoing separatist debate in Alberta.
He said the proposed name reflects support for Canada after more than 400,000 signatures were verified on the pro-federalist “Forever Canadian” petition.

Happy Mother’s Day to Renée Good. Today, we honor her memory, her courage, & the ultimate sacrifice she made. She should be here with her babies today, but her legacy lives on in the people she loved, the lives she touched, & the continued fight for a more compassionate & just world. 💐

The Alberta Separation movement has NOTHING to do with democracy.
It's literally a bunch of hillbillies, grifters, and Russian assets trying to divide our country.
The irony is that it is pushing normal Canadians closer together, and further from Conservatives.

A 56-year-old Muslim man was beaten unconscious in St. Albert on May 1 after leaving Friday prayers at the Muslim Association of St. Albert. The victim was allegedly followed from the mosque and blocked at the intersection of Poirier Avenue and Parkwood Drive around 2:30 p.m., where the suspect attacked him until he lost consciousness while yelling racial slurs, insulting Islam, and threatening to kill him. Multiple witnesses called 911 as the assault unfolded.
St. Albert RCMP charged Ryan Richard Lacasse, 40, with aggravated assault, uttering threats, and two offences under Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act. He was released on an undertaking with conditions and is scheduled to appear in Alberta Court of Justice in St. Albert on June 8.
RCMP confirmed racial slurs are a factor in the ongoing investigation. Cpl. Gina Slaney noted no standalone hate crime charge exists under the Criminal Code of Canada, though aggravated assault carries serious criminal consequences.

Freedom Convoy organizer and convicted criminal Tamara Lich was given a media pass for an event Pierre Poilievre was speaking at.
It's almost as if the Conservatives never want to win an election.

@RealJimRickards Saskatchewan has 45% of the worlds potash - currently 18million tonnes per year, can flip a switch and ship reserves and additional capacity of 5 million per year - mass starvation seems to be a stretch here

Global south versus developed north. We explore this in depth with reference to the war in Iran, the role of gold and new currency arrangements.

@eurofounder looks like you were non compliant in purchasing travel medical insurance, your wife needs a medical letter to fly - this appears to be customer error when leaving your country - you have ruined your finances based on lack of insurance - a business decision -

My wife collapsed in our hotel room in New York today
“Call an ambulance, I can’t breathe” she was screaming
My heart dropped
If she ends up in an American hospital we are financially ruined
I went on the Lufthansa app to book a flight back to Frankfurt, but unfortunately pilots are on strike today
“Please I’m begging you” she was lying on the floor
I sighed and called 911
She is now in surgery as apparently her appendix “almost burst”
I am extremely scared
This is going to cost us at least $100,000
She could have received much better care, for free, in Germany
I will never visit this barbaric country ever again

B.C. Parents Guard School Amid Youth’s Alleged Kill List: “We Don’t Want Another Tumbler Ridge”
An underreported story is unfolding in Falkland, B.C., where parents are standing watch over their elementary school, children are spending recess indoors, bus locations are changing, tournaments are being cancelled, and some parents are not sending their children to school at all, as a youth behind an alleged kill list has been walking around the school in the mornings.
Every morning, a number of parents organize to stand watch over Falkland Elementary School to ensure the safety of their children, as a troubled youth lives across from the school and chooses to walk around school property during drop-off, causing anxiety and stress, especially amid a lack of RCMP presence.
“Why are we waiting for something bad to happen for this to be taken seriously?” one parent, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, asked, fearing repercussions for herself or her children.
The community says it feels unsupported and does not know whether the young man is getting the help and support he needs from the province, while also calling on the RCMP to have an officer present near the school.
“Basically threatening to kill them with box cutters, drink their blood, and take out anybody else that gets in the way,” said a concerned grandmother, Lori-Ann Rohrback, detailing the alleged threats and questioning what meaningful action authorities have taken after seeing him walking around and on school property even though he is banned from it.
Nearly two years ago, an approximately half-a-billion-dollar fentanyl superlab was busted in Falkland, B.C., where only one person, Gaganpreet Randhawa, was arrested, highlighting the lack of police oversight in rural B.C.
"We're just rural people," said a concerned parent, "we just don't have a voice," saying that they're feeling abandoned to fend off this threat by themselves with no support from the government.
Matthew Henegan, a Falkland resident and CAF veteran, says authorities need to communicate better: “Relying on a playbook pre-Tumbler Ridge, I think, is outdated, because we live in a different world now, and that’s just the reality of living in B.C. post-Tumbler Ridge.”
While it remains unclear what steps authorities have taken, the youth’s presence around the school raises the question of when he will get the help he needs, and when the town will return to normal.
