Please BC, take it from someone who fled Alberta to get away from governance by conspiracy theory loonies beholden to oil money. BC has had the strongest economy in Canada for years under the NDP, let’s not mess that up.

A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up — and they are devastating. Under oath, they couldn't define DEI. They admitted they never reduced the deficit. And they wiped out $100 million in humanities grants — including a Holocaust documentary — using ChatGPT. The regime tried to bury this. It didn't work. dworkinsubstack.com/p/shut-it-down…

Can we get this shared 10,000 times? "War crimes don't hide sex crimes!"

there's an absurd irony to these events. During World War 2, Canadian aluminum production supplied about 35-40% of all Allied requirements. When U.S. Defense Production Act was passed in 1950, Canada was given unique status as "domestic" production as a //secure// producer. Instead of building on that relationship, Trump implemented tariffs on Canadian aluminum, which resulted in US importing aluminum from Persian Gulf nations and Canada sending much of its aluminum to world markets in Europe and Asia. The Trump policy was to replace secure aluminum from Canada with insecure aluminum from inside the Strait of Hormuz. All in the name of national security.

The World's Dumbest Tariff Has Been Revealed “Trump’s 50% tariff and removal of an exemption for Canada drove producers there to send US-bound shipments to Europe instead. In just a few months, Aluminerie Alouette – North America's largest smelter – saw its European sales rise from 4% of production to 57%. Rio Tinto Plc largely stopped shipping Canadian aluminum to the US, and even Alcoa diverted around 100,000 metric tons to non-US destinations.” bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

BREAKING: The United States just took over $126 million from Switzerland’s fighter jet account to cover missile shortfalls in the Iran war. Switzerland did not approve this. Switzerland did not consent. Switzerland had already frozen its Patriot payments after learning deliveries would be delayed four to five years. The US circumvented the freeze. SRF, Switzerland’s national broadcaster, reported on March 26 that Washington redirected Swiss funds originally allocated for 36 F-35 fighter jets to cover Patriot air defence shortfalls using the Foreign Military Sales pooled trust fund, a structure that allows the Pentagon to reallocate payments across a buyer’s contracts without that buyer’s permission. Swiss armaments chief Urs Loher confirmed the diverted amount is a “low three-digit million” Swiss francs and called the situation “very unsatisfactory.” The money Switzerland paid for jets is now subsidising a war Switzerland refused to participate in. Bern halted new arms exports to the US on March 20 citing the Iran conflict. Switzerland rejected two US military flyover requests linked to Iran operations. Two hundred years of armed neutrality, and Washington reached into the account anyway. Here is why. The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors defending Gulf states in the first four days of Operation Epic Fury per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post last week. Lockheed Martin and Boeing produce 620 Patriot interceptors per year combined. In four days, America burned through eighteen months of global Patriot production. The war has consumed roughly one-third of the entire THAAD missile stockpile. Annual THAAD production does not exceed 100 units. The cost asymmetry is what makes the depletion irreversible at current production rates. Each PAC-3 interceptor costs $3.9 million. Each Iranian Shahed drone costs between $20,000 and $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Iran manufactures an estimated 10,000 Shaheds per month per Reuters. America produces 620 interceptors per year. Iran builds more drones in a single week than the United States builds interceptors in an entire year. Every interceptor fired in the Gulf is one that cannot be delivered to Switzerland, Ukraine, Taiwan, Japan, or Poland. The State Department warned allies on March 27 that Patriot deliveries to Ukraine would face disruptions as the Pentagon prioritises Iran per Quiver Quantitative. Senator Chris Murphy said on record: “We’ve been told again and again one reason we can’t provide interceptors for the Patriot system for Ukraine is that they’re in short supply.” Lockheed signed a framework to quadruple production to 2,000 units per year. That capacity will not arrive for six to seven years. The Pentagon has asked Congress to shift $1.5 billion from other programmes to accelerate procurement per Bloomberg. None of this helps now. The interceptors are depleting now. The allied accounts are being raided now. Switzerland is considering reducing its F-35 order from 36 to 30 jets and accelerating evaluation of European alternatives per Bluewin and Global Defense Corp. Swiss parliamentarians have called the redirection “an unacceptable violation of procurement sovereignty.” The Swiss parliament is preparing formal hearings. Switzerland is the canary. A neutral country with two centuries of armed neutrality just had its fighter jet money taken without consent to feed a four-week-old war that burns 18 months of interceptor production every 96 hours. Every US ally with a pending defence contract should be asking one question: whose account is next? Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Trump Aluminum tariffs caused Canadian producers to start selling most of their exports of aluminum elsewhere. The US started importing more aluminum from the Middle East. Trump Israeli Mid East war disrupted those aluminum supplies. Canada is basically sold out, tough luck.

This didn’t start with Danielle Smith. She’s just the one finishing it. The groundwork was laid years ago: Jason Kenney opened the door. Preston Manning shaped the ideology. Stephen Harper normalized it nationally. Step by step. Year by year. Now Alberta is becoming the test case for dismantling universal healthcare. And if you think it stops there… you’re not paying attention…. Doug Ford is doing the same in Ontario

In response to a sustained series of lies about myself I have initiated legal action. I will not be commenting any further as long as this matter remains before the courts. /1 #abpoli #cdnpoli #ableg

This Is No Longer Coincidence RCMP search warrants. Court cases. Hundreds of millions in public money. And the same name keeps surfacing - across contracts, land deals, appointments, ministerial decisions, and now police investigations. At some point, this stops looking like a series of isolated incidents and starts looking like a pattern. In this video, I outline why Albertans deserve far more than deflection, secrecy, and silence. This is not one issue. It’s a pattern. And patterns like this don’t go away - they get investigated. It’s time for a full forensic audit and a public inquiry. #albertatory #abtory #ableg #abpoli #alberta

@Mikeggibbs I agree that Ford and his government are terribly corrupt. But I'm afraid that, put up against Danielle Smith and the UCP in Alberta, Ford is nolo contendere - $mith and the #UnlimitedCorruptionParty are $eriously outpacing Ontario, even in ab$olute term$, let alone per capita.

I'll repeat this until I'm blue on the face: ****The federal government NOT provincial govts control airspace.**** The province can do whatever it wants on the ground but no aircraft operate without federal review, approval, regulation and control. Doug Ford does NOT decide what aircraft operate at Billy Bishop. The province has no such power. There is no way the feds will approve jets at Billy Bishop. It is a non-starter for thousands of reasons. Doug Ford knows this. He want us to talk about a made up non-issue instead of his crass attempts to cover up his obscene levels of sleazy corruption, corruption that is so extreme it's unprecedented in the history of Canada. #onpoli

@CDN_Fisher_Mike @jeremy_bay37268 @gator_gum Were YOU unaware the Canadian government's fuel taxes were *reduced* by 17.6 cents/L as of April 1, 2025. You may not have noticed it, as oil companies and fuel retailers largely pocketed the difference, at least initially. But that's not Canada's government.

@jeremy_bay37268 @gator_gum More than one thing can effect prices at the same time, if you were unaware

10 days ago she was bragging about her trip to Vegas. Today, she can't afford the gas to drive to the park. All they do is lie. Constantly. Zero integrity.

@N00TMAN @gator_gum You clearly have no grasp of markets; 🇨🇦could only have internal pricing for O&G *not* linked to global markets if we nationalized the industry (e.g., like Venezuela. Or Iran). But oil is fungible, so every barrel is priced at world prices (save for grade & transport differences)

I will expand to say it's not just Carney's fault, but it's definitely largely the Canadian govt's fault, of which Carney currently leads. There is zero reason for Canadas gas prices to ever be affected by external sources. Just approve internal pipelines and refineries. We have more than enough to supply our own needs.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

When I founded the AB Resistance over 2 years ago, my goal was to get as much factual info out to as many Albertans as possible. It still is. Could my X community please share this. We need all Albertans on board! Follow & I will follow back! Thanks! abresistance.ca

@gator_gum 4/ rely solely on the US anymore. Plus Grippen has some advantages of its own. While lower costs of purchase, operation, and maintenance appear to often be exaggerated, they are real. Moreover, Grippen is faster (relevant for intercepts over our vast land), and more rugged.

@gator_gum 3/ and training costs, as there will be some duplication of facilities, ground crew, and parts inventories. But, while the F-35 is a thoroughly modern aircraft whose stealth, radar & sensor fusion (Grippen is no slouch there tho’), & upgrades will carry it for decades, we can’t..

What are your thoughts about this?
