The world is shocked with Trump’s callous indifference toward #Ukraine. Maybe because I lived behind the Iron Curtain, or because I read history books not only written in the West, I’m not shocked. Here’s why:

A former Soviet intelligence officer alleges Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename “Krasnov.” Alnur Mussayev served in the 6th Directorate, responsible for counter-intelligence support in the economy. One key objective was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

I'm calling it: #MraicheGate More on the unscrupulous, inside, quick profit off-public purse dealings of a UCP-buddy, *which should lead to the UCP gov't falling* here: www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti... And here: thetyee.ca/News/2025/02... #ABpoli

This is misleading headline. It states in the article that AH did not respond to questions from CBC. Not sure how they figured that AB is mulling it over. Be aware, though. There IS a vaccine for H5N1 in Ottawa... www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

In the securities world they would investigate that for insider trading. Also, who did the second valuation? Great independent reporting from the @thetyee.ca Now your turn @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social

Canada: A vote for Pierre Poilievre is a vote for Trump just like a vote for Doug Ford is a vote for Trump. #CanadaSky #Ontario 🇨🇦 🔗 youtu.be/ZvWFVavDmvU?...

It seems that the USA has become the enemy of democracy, globally.

Plot twist! Turns out that Guthrie, the Minister of Infrastructure who asked that LaGrange step down, oversees a department that bought a property from Sam Mraiche without his knowledge for $2MM, netting a 300,000 profit on the property for Mraiche. How deep do these tentacles go?

Love this thread, particularly in the light of our latest “revise and resubmit” (that reviewer 3 called “terrible pedagogy”) paper that basically argues gentleness is a more pedagogically effective method than harshness I’ve been a teacher for 25 years and have done all kinds of pedagogy

~Political experts question why Pike is being targeted “I’m a bit puzzled by the focus here,&why is this particular reporting being singled out?” MRU political scientist Lori Williams “A number of reporters have come forward & are essentially making the same claims” www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Hey Alberta, This is a billboard in Bowden. Tell me again the UCP aren’t chest deep in corruption and traitorous behaviour.

Alberta, get these traitors in check. If they want to join the US so much - there’s the door. Bunch of embarrassing idiots 🤬

Trump during campaign: Starting the day I take the Oath of Office I will rapidly drive prices down Trump today: Inflation is back...I had nothing to do with it

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

As we close in on the Ontario election, I feel that I should say to the people of Ontario: WAKE THE FUCK UP! Doug Ford is just as shitty as Smith is here, and you have him as Premier of ONTARIO!? GET OUT AND VOTE! TELL PEOPLE TO GET OUT AND VOTE! KICK HIM OUT FFS!!! #cdpoli #onpoli

The last time the #CPC was in power, they sold the assets of AECL to SNCLavalin for a pittance, sold the Canada Wheat Board to a Saudi US consortium, sold Nexen, Nortel, CBC lost Hockey Night in #Canada, cut defense spending to 1% of GDP. This time they'll finish the job. #cdnpoli #neverPoilievre

Canadians deserve a government that works for you. A government that will spend less, and invest more. It’s time to build, and to build together. Today, I’m sharing my new approach: markcarney.ca/media/2025/0....

this is good, but at the same time

~ This is excellent coverage about the Breakdown being shut down by Mriache. It's not exactly complementary to Mriache. I bet he didn't see this coming. www.youtube.com/watch?v=70CF...

75 years of diplomacy, hard work and a commitment to liberal democracy has just been flushed down the toilet by Trump, Vance and their MAGA idiots. Here is my final dispatch from the NATO meetings: Where Canada and Europe goes from here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

A simple way out for the gov't: come clean. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

NEW: Premier Danielle Smith and Health Minister Adriana LaGrange are holding a press conference this afternoon in Calgary. It's an "update on what steps the government will be taking related to the allegations by the former AHS CEO."

We did not pick this tariff fight, but as proud Canadians we will stand up for our country. We will never be the 51st state. Not now. Not ever.

BREAKING: Tr🇷🇺mp goes completely off the rails: "Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a country left" Labelling Zelensky "a dictator", Claiming "his country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died." What an utter liar and moron 🤮🤮 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...

Kudos to CTV for carrying the story on the Breakdown. And as they noted - lawsuits like this target “smaller” voices by causing them to shell out $$$$’s they can’t compete with. It’s dirty play. #abpoli #cdnpoli Support Nate here: www.gofundme.com/f/vggge-lega...

Why are Albertans so mad about the Breakdown situation? Because we know our govt is unhealthy, pockets of infection all over. A paramedic stepped up, said if you want to heal it, you have to identify it. And he FOIP’d. Gave receipts. They’re using every method they can to stop accountability. IMO

The lying liars are going to be putting on a show at 2 pm today in yyc. #UCPCorruption

“A recent Nanos poll found Canadians believe that Carney would best handle trade negotiations with the U.S. President, beating Poilievre by nearly 14 points.” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Shame on every "journalist" writing shit like this. Shame.

BREAKING: The head of the FDA’s food division has resigned. “The division is tasked with ensuring that the country's food supply is safe, overseeing inspections and recalls.” Now food companies can run amok. And put lives at risk. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The US is officially the 2nd most hated country in Europe thanks to the Trump betrayal of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Musk is actively interfering in both Germany and Romania's elections by openly backing the pro-Kremlin candidates. Both nations are key to Ukraine's defense against Russia. #StandWithUkraine

Trudeau 🇨🇦 - "There is a tradition in Canada when times are tough, when it's a moment of crisis or when we are threatened Canadians pull together. We step up, we go across partisan lines, and we defend Canada. It seems increasingly clear that is not something Poilievre is able to do." #cdnpoli
