For Texans, this man would be a huge improvement.

tornado warning in effect - At 4:45 p. m. Central Standard Time Monday, Environment Canada has issued a tornado warning for South Central Saskatchewan. Extra care and attention should be exercised in and around the following localities: Harris, Outlook, Donovan, Dinsmore and Conquest.

If your going to bomb Iran maybe also sneak in a couple on their drone making facilities!?? Or else maybe just don’t at all.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Putin: "I have said many times that I consider the Russian and Ukrainian peoples to be one people. In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours." The audience clapped and laughed. Ukraine is very different from Russia. Putin made sure we know that and fight for that.

#Ukrainian Defender Mykola returned home on his son's birthday. For a year and a half, the family waited for him to return from Russian captivity. And today, almost the entire family came to finally meet him. 📹: TSN

Trump came to the G7 to promote Russia, undermine his allies, take shots at Canada. And then he went off to pour gasoline all over Netanyahu's latest act of political arson. My analysis of what we are facing. charlieangus.substack.com/p/trump-ligh...

An underreported factor in this equation.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

The moment when the Russian drone directly hit a residential building in Kyiv appeared online. Russians continue to fight against civilians.

Donald Trump arrived in Canada and demanded that Russia be admitted into the G7. He falsely claimed Canada had Russia kicked out. He refused to work out a deal with allies on the Middle East crisis and he left town before President Zelensky showed up. Surprised?

June 1976: Alberta 'Coal Development Policy' adopted June 2020: UCP government rescinds it Feb. 2021: UCP reinstates it June 2021: AER rejects Grassy Mountain project March 2022: UCP orders "no new applications" for coal Sept. 2023: AER accepts new applications for Grassy Mtn June 2025:

The last time the United States held a national military parade was in June 1991, timed to welcome returning veterans of the 100-day Persian Gulf War.

What makes sense anymore? Iran is a big supporter and supplier of Putin’s terrorist regime and Trump can’t quit his love for Russia.

RIP to the great Sly Stone. A monumental loss. His PR just sent this out.

Terry Moran being suspended by ABC News is ironic given Moran went out of his way to not embarrass Trump over the president’s delusion about the doctored MS13 photo, repeatedly saying ‘let’s agree to disagree’ and ‘let’s move on’ but they still got him suspended. You can’t appease these people ever.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

It's rare, but this brain-damaging effect can strike as many as 11 years after a child is infected with measles. It was virtually non-existent in Alberta for decades. But as measles cases surge in 2025, doctors worry subacute sclerosing panencephalitis may return. We won't know until the 2030s.

Enough is enough. This needs to stop.

In the dead of night, the UCP passed the most comprehensive set of anti democratic reforms in Alberta history. No public consultation. No meaningful debate. How bad is Bill 54? Not horrible if you like Trump-style democracy. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

🇨🇦For the first time ever, an Indigenous person has been chosen to lead the federal department responsible for providing services to First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. Congratulations Mandy Gull-Masty! #CanadaStrong #Canada'sNorthStrong

The man who wanted to ban all Muslims from entering the United States because of terrorism is meeting this week with the former head of Al Qaeda in Syria.

Should Preston Manning continue to be a member of the Order of Canada when he openly promotes and incites Alberta’s secession from Canada? Preston, do the honourable thing and forfeit your appointment. #cdnpoli #ableg

The South Saskatchewan River has been reduced to sandbars because the Sask. Party ignored years of warnings. The Prairie Lily’s grounded, festivals are at risk, and public safety compromised. Saskatoon needs its river. Last Friday, I wrote to the WSA Minister to demand action. #skpoli #yxe

I have been trying to avoid US news and it’s a nice change.

Doug Ford: I need more money for my cars and my friends! Danielle Smith: I want my independence! Pierre Poilievre: It’s not fair though! I want a do-over! Mark Carney: If you don’t all stop right now I will turn this car around.

Poilievre is giving a pretty damn good concession speech. He talks about working with the PM, he stops the crowd from booing Carney, he even seems relaxed. This speech is who he should’ve been during his entire campaign. I mean where was THIS guy for 6 weeks?

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

I’d hope that an air attack during a ceasefire would at least cause some indignation in the US, but then I realized how dumb I sound

This is forcible confinement, forced medical treatment, and should end up in the courts. "Under the law, if passed, a patient won't be able to refuse medications that the commission has decided they will take to treat their addiction." #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Stephen Miller always looks like he's trying to decide where to put you in his human centipede.

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

Sanders: What the ruling class of this country does… is essentially tell you that you are powerless. They say, ‘Ain’t nothing you can do — because we, the oligarchs, got all the money, we own the Congress’ Well, we’re here this evening to tell them: hey guys, you got it wrong.

Meanwhile in Russia: Vladimir Solovyov and head of RT Margarita Simonyan mocked and threatened the West. They compared Russia to Jesus and claimed that Britain is jealous of the Russian empire. Solovyov bragged that Piers Morgan wants to interview him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cKS...

"It's a complicated situation, rooted in some real problematic things happening between the two countries," - Steve Witkoff on his meetings with Putin. By "problematic things," he means the war Russia started?

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter
