"NO KINGS LIVE HERE"

The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us... But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

I’m calling it. We should cancel April Fools Day this year. No prank can top this reality shitshow right now

Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says if allegations of wrongdoing at Alberta Health Services are true, that's on AHS, not the government. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w @alannasmith.bsky.social

SCOOP: AHS in December asked MHCare to prove it was working to fulfill its contract tied to importing medicine, accusing it of doing very little work after receiving millions of dollars. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w/ @alannasmith.bsky.social

SCOOP: Sam Mraiche, owner of the firm that imported meds from Turkey, is a part owner in two private surgical facilities that last year were negotiating deals with inflated rates compared to competitor, according to documents www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w/ @alannasmith.bsky.social

MUSK LOSES BIG IN GERMANY Germany’s CDU/CSU wins big, while the far-right AfD underperforms in second—despite backing from Elon Musk and JD Vance. AfD is now likely to be completely shut out of the governing coalition.

For the last # of yrs citizens of AB have benefited from the investigative reporting of @natepike.bsky.social thro' @thebreakdownab.bsky.social. By vocation Nate is an advanced paramedic in #yyc, not part of the press corp. I call on mainstream media to stand up in loud support of Mr Pike. #ableg

I am pissed about this. Devastated. It is more important than ever to have Nate and the Breakdown fighting the good fight and exposing corruption. Please donate to the legal fund and help Nate fight this gag order: www.gofundme.com/f/vggge-lega...

President Zelenskyy: “At the Munich Security Conference, I emphasized that European policy must not just be promising — it must make America want to stand with a strong Europe. Europe must decide its own future with confidence in its strength so that others have no choice but to respect its power.”

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! He’ll say what he has to, to try and get re-elected. Then he’ll hand it all over to Trump and Musk!!!

You have until the 17th to register to vote. DoFo isn’t going to give it to you automatically.

Travelling the world, when people ask where are you from, saying Canada always comes with a smilie on my face and pride in my heart because it means something… decency, friendship and respect. Today we celebrate our flag and country. Tomorrow we do everything we can to defend it.

Happy Flag Day, Canada Oh Canada Our home and native land True Patriot love in all of us command With glowing hearts We see thee rise The true north Strong and free From far and wide, Oh Canada we stand On guard for thee God keep our land Glorious and free Oh Canada We stand on guard for thee

Happy 60th Anniversary of the Canadian flag 🇨🇦

"The payment is at odds with prior comments Premier Danielle Smith made to the Canadian Press in December indicating that the entire $70 million was paid upfront at the time of the initial contract." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Honestly, the boring new Con ads featuring Poilievre’s wife feel less patriotic and more like a funeral procession for Canada with her being some odd version of a grim reaper bringing our flag to the funeral site where Canada died. A great balance of creepy and cringey.

This is our Canada, our flag is a symbol of unity and peace. #OCanada #FlagDay #Canada #CanadaIsUnited #MapleLeaf 🍁Vive 🍁 le 🍁 Canada 🍁🇨🇦🍁

New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that she has rejected a request from Louisiana Governor Doug Landry to extradite a New York doctor who was previously indicted by a Louisiana grand jury on felony charges related to her prescribing abortion-related medication to a woman in Louisiana.

HAPPY CANADA FLAG DAY!

When do we stop treating UCP ventures to Washington as diplomatic missions, and start recognizing them as field trips? thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

The Mentzelopoulos lawsuit says Danielle Smith used private detectives etc to try to catch online critic and informed leaker Hansard the Cat. I was told, unconfirmed, the Edmonton Police Service's Organizational Security Unit was involved. Here's a FOIP I filed in October and the EPS response. 1

Keep in mind the allegations in the lawsuit are unproven and no statement of defence has been filed.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Ahem.

I have zero hope for the USA. The NFL removed the End Racism sign on the field. Trump got cheered, Swift got booed. They are FUBAR. Gawd dammit! Canadians, let’s pull together, push out traitors like Poilievre, Ford, Smith & Moe and work hard to defend all that we stand for♥️🍁🇨🇦
