@ryangerritsen The Ministry of Truth is working overtime.

These were the headlines 10 hours ago from our mainstream media machine. They have all since been changed when you click on those links. Some don’t even exist anymore and give you a page 404 error. Each one had this headline. Now they are gone & replaced with a different headline regarding what happened.

@The_Elite_Lib A business doesn't collapse after one slow week. Trying to connect those two dots requires a comical squiggle. Definitely not a straight line.

Growing up in Alberta always showed me that Albertans don’t accept bullshit. We have always had a very low tolerance for bullshit. And Albertans are rejecting separatism because it’s bullshit. One thing you can count on with Alberta separatism is how they seem to speed run failure. Last week the Edmonton Journal was writing about how a quiet Cold Lake cafe had somehow become “a hotspot for the separatist debate.” The owner was hosting events, flying the flag, leaning into the moment. Media showed up to take the pics. It looked like momentum. Seven days later CTV is running the follow up: the same cafe is closing its doors after losing so many customers that the business couldn’t survive… The pic shows the same guy. It’s the same photo. Just one week for a wildly different story. This isn’t an isolated flop. It’s the perfect microcosm of the entire separatist project. A burst of online energy, a few meetings, some flag-waving, a flurry of headlines… and then reality arrives with the bill. Customers vote with their wallets, and it’s devastating. The movement gets the attention it craves, just not the kind it expected. Lately the broader Alberta separatist scene has been losing what little momentum it had. More and more people are waking up to the fact that they’ve been grifted… watching the same handful of voices monetize the anger, sell the merch, chase the donations, and deliver absolutely nothing concrete in return. The cafe is just the latest, visible receipt. From “hotspot” to closed sign in seven days. Separatism is a speed run for failure.

Oh, good! I love a mystery! A Canadian intern of Chinese origin is arrested inside SHAPE, NATO’s top military command headquarters, accused of spying for an unnamed “third country” and belonging to a criminal organization. I’m sure the finest detectives are working around the clock to crack that riddle. I'll spare you the suspense. It's CHINA! I can already hear the Liberal responses, beginning with, “Thank you for the question...” “Espionage happens all over the world.” “We denounce espionage wherever it happens.” “Have you personally witnessed espionage coming from China with your own eyes? Yes or no? Just a short answer, please.” Fucking cowards. Just like avoiding China's treatment of Uyghurs by hiding behind bloodless statements about condemning forced labour “in all its forms” and “wherever it occurs.”, they will dodge this one too while trying to sound righteous. Enough. China uses forced labour. China systematically interferes in Canadian politics. China intimidates people living in Canada. China conducts aggressive intelligence operations against Western governments and institutions. And WHEN (not if) the evidence establishes that China was behind this alleged penetration of NATO headquarters, Canada must say so loudly, point the finger directly at Beijing and embarrass the absolute shit out of them. Restore the 100% tariff on Chinese EVs. Block goods connected to forced labour. Sanction responsible officials and companies. Expel diplomats involved in interference. Shut Chinese state controlled firms out of sensitive infrastructure and government contracts. No more “unnamed countries.” No more “all over the world.” No more diplomatic throat clearing. Call China out by name. Shame them. Impose penalties. Cut ties. #CCP #ForeignInterference #NATO #CallOutChina #canpoli

What's the Kayanerehkowa translation for "nice try, but hammering a billboard into the ditch doesn't declare Canadian law void, and prohibit police from exercising lawful authority."? Welcome or not, they're gonna enter. How you treat them is directly proportional to how they treat you.

They don't want our police, but they want our money. You can't have it both ways. You're either part of Canada or you're not. Make up your mind.

@cdnhouse @ColdWarVet1980 Not even close.

@ColdWarVet1980 @loadedlen an eu with canada would be the premier global super power

Just to piss off the neighbors... Alberta Strong & Free

I'm not arguing anymore. It's never going to happen. Even Carney said so at the NATO summit last year. When asked directly about it he said, “The short answer is no. That’s not the intent. That’s not the pathway we’re on." Good luck finding another European Prime Minister of Canada to float that idea. Fucking idiotic.

@loadedlen @ColdWarVet1980 i absolute do thing that the european union is a better option than the usa, and european leaders have already softly pushed for canada to be in the eu so it is entirely possible

@gary_srp @SeanFraserMP @rubysahotalib Hey Gary... quick question, what's an RPAL?

The Combatting Hate Act is in force, which means we have stronger tools to combat hate and protect our communities. We’ll continue building a Canada where everyone can worship how they choose, love who they choose, and be themselves—openly, safely, and joyfully.

It was a privacy breach and should be dealt with, but let’s describe it honestly. The list contained names, addresses, postal codes, phone numbers where provided, elector IDs and voting areas. It did not contain health records, banking information, SINs or anything sensitive. Serious, yes. Digital apocalypse, no.

@loadedlen @mikaylaresists @Wife2HellBillyD Just because the leak as nothing to do with the petition does not mean the leak did not happen!!! Millions of people personal information was made public against their will that is an issue for all democracys

Alberta, really? We are letting a bunch of right-wing radicals overthrow our Province? To a klavern of washed out monopoly characters?

@TheoMoudakis @TorontoStar People actually pay you to draw this shit? It's not even relevant. Pro tip: the GOVERNMENT is the one everyone (especially the media) needs to scrutinize. Not the opposition. Dumb fuck.

Please enjoy my cartoon for Tuesday's @TorontoStar

Cyprus is a Mediterranean edge case with centuries of direct European political and institutional ties. It applied in 1990 and was admitted in 2004. Canada is a North American state. Calling it European does not rewrite the treaty. Cyprus is not a loophole through which Canada can squeeze. All that aside, you can't seriously think that snubbing the US is a prudent idea. As an EU member, Canada would surrender its independent trade policy. The EU has exclusive authority over the customs union, external tariffs and common commercial policy. Canada could no longer negotiate trade arrangements, impose tariffs or respond to the US entirely on its own terms. FUCK.THAT.

@loadedlen @ColdWarVet1980 exactly, canada is a european state. cyprus is also a country entirely outside geographical europe but is a member because that definition is not geographical, but one based in cultural and societal metrics. morricco is not culturally or socially european

@globalnews She's got 225 million reasons to fuck off. Why is this bitch news? She's a talentless hag. It's because her girlfriend is pulling strings, isn't it?

"I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it," Katy Perry wrote. globalnews.ca/news/11995187/…

The only thing you need to know is that Article 49 of the Treaty on European Union says that only a “European State” may apply. Canada plainly does not fit that meaning. Morocco’s application was rejected specifically because it was not considered a European state. I'm not so sorry to say that unanimous agreement and ratification by all 27 member states will be required to amend it's treaties. Then Canada’s actual accession would require another unanimous Council decision, European Parliament approval, negotiations over the entire body of EU law, and ratification by every member state and Canada. Any single member could kill it. The chances of that happening are ZERO. Thank Christ for that.

@ColdWarVet1980 @loadedlen do you know anything about the eu, or its entry rules, or how it assigns funding? it is all based on the strength of members democracy

Alberta Milk’s propaganda is funded by compulsory dairy producer levies. Not exactly taxes, but we're paying for it, make no mistake. There's also an indirect taxpayer contribution when its promotional material is distributed through public schools using publicly paid teachers and classroom time.

@loadedlen @Bratt_world It’s not subsidized through tax dollars , just because an institution or group has interests and is incentivized towards a certain position doesn’t mean that they’re publishing false information

If you don’t want to believe me you can believe Albertan farmers. No we do not subsidize our dairy farmers with tax payer funds. Yes, American dairy allows hormones, and high somatic cell counts. FDA approved. Article this summer 👇🏻

LoL you just made the case for a US trade deal and fostering that relationship. Poland is geographically embedded in Europe. More than 75% of its exports went to other EU members last year, so joining the single market integrated Poland with the countries it naturally trades with. EU membership also anchored Poland politically within Western Europe while it faces a direct security threat from Russia and Belarus. Canada’s equivalent economic relationship is with the US, not Europe. In 2025, 71.7% of Canadian merchandise exports went to the US. Geography, pipelines, railways, electricity grids, supply chains and time zones all reinforce that relationship. EU membership would not magically redirect Canadian commerce across the Atlantic. It's not all roses for Poland, either. They WISH they had geographic proximity to the US like we do. Every other Western nation does. Form them, many believe EU membership restricts Polish sovereignty too much. And only about 40% support adopting the Euro. The lesson you should learn from Poland is that a country should integrate economically with its natural regional market while preserving as much national control as possible. For us, that's the good ol' US of A.

@loadedlen @ColdWarVet1980 adopting standards means standardizing for a 500 million person trading market, just because we have limited tariffs with them now does not mean we are seeing the maximum benefit of their market. if we join their market we will benefit, just look at what it has done for poland

I’m not suggesting cash top ups. I’m advocating ending production quotas, pricing and tariff walls, with a finite transition plan for quota owners. Scrap the system entirely. Of course existing quota holders defend the system. They own the assets and benefit from the protected market. Asking them whether competition should be allowed is like asking taxi medallion owners whether Uber should exist. We all know the answer to that one. Phase it out to ease the pain, but it's got to go nonetheless. New Zealand did it. They dismantled its agricultural supports in stages and abolished the Dairy Board’s export monopoly in 2001. Canada can phase out quota, compensate existing quota holders once, lower tariff walls on a fixed schedule, and let farmers compete. A temporary transition loan, or even a straight payment would be the cost of ending the racket.

@loadedlen If you know of a farmer who is advocating cash top offs instead i would like their argument

@Bratt_world I'm not disputing your right to share whatever floats your boat. And in all fairness, I should be able to call it out as misinformation.

@loadedlen I shared their information because i support them and agree with them. I’m allowed to support supply management I did my research.

I’ll read your post right after I get back from the Southpaw Pride Parade. It’s Left-Handed Awareness Month, don’t you know? Government buildings are flying left-handed flags, crosswalks are painted for lefties, and the library is hosting Lefty Storytime for kids. We get it. You’re gay. Most people genuinely don’t give a shit.

I was born gay, just like some people are born writing with their left hand. Who would ever discuss the human rights of the left-handed? Why in 2026 do gay people still have to justify our existence and fear for our lives? #bornthisway #humanrights #pride #nohate #captainthomas

@Martyupnorth Don't they always run pigs?

Here's the polling for the 3 byelections. Beaches will stay Liberal. The Liberals could run a pig in this riding, and it would get elected. 1/
