Pierre Poilievre on Joe Rogan changes nothing for Alberta. Sure, it will be interesting to watch. Sure, I would still rather have Pierre Poilievre in office than Mark Carney for however much time Canada has left before Alberta goes its own way. But let’s be honest about what this actually means. It is too little, too late. This is what the Conservative Party always does. They move late, they misread the moment, and they play politics like they are always one step behind. If Pierre was going to make a move like this, where was it a year ago? Where was this when it could have actually shifted momentum? Now the Liberals are surging again, and the Conservatives are scrambling to do what they should have done long ago. But more importantly, even if Pierre won, it would not solve the core problem for Alberta. A Conservative government is not going to end equalization. It is not going to fix Alberta’s lack of representation in this country. It is not going to change the reality that Alberta continues to bankroll a system that works against our interests. It might slow the decline. It might reverse some bad policies. But it does not fix the structure itself. That is why Alberta independence is the only real path forward.

🚨 BREAKING: Pierre Poilievre tells Joe Rogan that the reason why he did not appear on his podcast last year is that politicians can't leave the country during an election. It is in fact legal to do.

BREAKING: Alberta introduces a bill restricting MAiD to cases where natural death is reasonably foreseeable within one-year Mental illness is not an acceptable case for MAID Danielle Smith is leading the country in Common Sense. WELL DONE I fully agree with this decision

🇨🇦 Canadian PM Carney: "The biggest physical security threat in the Arctic is Russia" With Ukraine in its 4th year of war, and the Middle East busy trying to set the global oil map on fire, the geopolitical to-do list now also includes opening an Arctic chapter. The global war map is starting to look suspiciously like a bingo card. Source: RT

What have I been saying for three weeks?! (Yes three) IDC what the price of oil climbs to, as long as it remains global. The real danger is it starts to fracture between nations and regions.

So let me get this straight. The war with Iran (the regime, not the people) has been going on for two weeks now. Just two weeks. In that time, the regime leadership has been completely decimated. Missile production has been destroyed. Missiles fired from the regime have dwindled—declining daily. Their navy, obliterated. Their infrastructure of oppression is being bombed to hell. The forces on the ground now run away when they hear the sound of drones. This high pressure chipping away of a militarily sophisticated enemy is unprecedented in its speed, scope and precision. It’s almost unbelievable. But randos online, political commentators (and even leaders who should know better!) brainlessly say things like: “They’re losing”. “They don’t have a plan”. “America is now stuck in a war it can’t escape”. “This is Israel’s war”. “This is illegal”. “This is a forever war”. It’s genuinely one of the most retarded moments I’ve ever lived through. It’s like people have either shut off their brains, or they’re acting maliciously. I’m still figuring out which it is. Before our very eyes, we’re seeing one of the most consequential moments of modern history. We’re witnessing the exorcism of a demonic Islamic regime that has brutalised the Iranians and destabilised the Middle East for years! An enemy that believes the world needs to be in chaos for their Mahdi to appear. Lunatics that want to see the world subdued. A world without this threat is a better world for everyone. America and Israel will pull this off, and reap all the rewards. While the brainless European leaders—who did nothing—will become even more irrelevant on the world stage.

Islam is such a violent religion. Every time we murder a bunch of their children, they try to kill some of us. Disgusting.

In mid-February, I joined police Chiefs from Canada and the United States, on a visit to Israel where we met police and community leaders in several cities. I spent time with police officers from Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Druze faiths representing a wide range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. I also met with Muslim community leaders who shared openly about their concerns and their reasons for working with police. These officers and community leaders operate in an environment that demands extraordinary vigilance - managing crime, counter terrorism, supporting community and crisis response all amid extreme complexity. Police to police we were able to talk about the toll this work takes on the people who do it. We talked about building trust in communities where there is little trust. We were able to get a glimpse of the undertaking required to police in complex environments. I am grateful for what I was able to learn and share with those we visited and among my North American peers. These missions offer a great deal of insight and valuable perspective. I am grateful for the continued leadership and support of the Edmonton Police Commission who have supported me in this. As police we focus on behavior, not beliefs. Where I have felt challenged this week is in the implication that any community group should have the right to direct where we can learn. I stand by my decision to take the trip to Israel and continue to view it as valuable, among multiple learning experiences I will have in this role. I remain focused on my longstanding and ongoing commitment to dialogue, learning and connection across communities and across boundaries.
