What prompted Hanomansing to become a traitor to Canada? I caught a minute of his show today where that scumbag O'Leary was blathering about Canada becoming a part of the USA in every way but name. Has the CBC decided that this is what they will support. Lost their minds?

How problematic is the Alberta report on COVID? Very. Recommendations embrace misinformation & run counter to a vast & diverse body of evidence. Policy analysis is nonsensical & displays a lack of knowledge about law or ethics. This is science in Alberta? Dark Age 2.0.

In October 2023, a right-wing government swept to power in New Zealand on a wave of populist anger similar to Canada’s. The results so far? Government debt forecast to rise. The deficit got worse. Unemployment is increasing. Craig Renney writes.
