Wayne Gretzky at the Capitals game with Kash Patel tells Canadians what we already knew. #cdnpoli

Canada updated its travel advisory for the US, telling travellers to "expect scrutiny at ports of entry, including of electronic devices," adding, "If you are denied entry, you could be detained while awaiting deportation.": travel.gc.ca/destinations...

The silence speaks volumes. #fucktrump

Here’s your morning slap in the face. I read this thinking it was recent… then I got to the end and wow. Trust me, you will have the same reaction.

This Yarvinverse sucks and we haven't even gotten to the "humane genocide of the non-productive" part.

Premier Smith torched Alberta’s renewable energy future to feed Big Oil dinosaurs. Now oil's under $70—our economic break-even—and the meteor just hit. "The dinosaurs are in charge of Alberta. Pity they’re oblivious to the meteor headed their way." - @markhamhislop.bsky.social #ableg #cdnpoli

The UCP is so anti-science, so anti-vax they muzzle the chief medical officer of health and stop him from providing harm prevention info to the public. And CMOH Dr. Mark Joffe capitulates. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

So fun that my monthly health insurance went from $910 to $1,130 for no apparent reason. Love it!

i have been joking that their plan is for your kids to grow up to work in a textile mill but they are serious

Why does everyone who was ever part of the tech industry think they know everything about public policy?

Parents Gently Explain To Child That Their Money In Heaven Now

A Chinese woman detained by U.S. border officers for overstaying a visitor visa died by suicide while being held at a border patrol station in Arizona, said Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, who is a ranking member of the House subcommittee overseeing immigration.

A true heater 48 hours for The Onion, in my unbiased opinion.

The U.S. now has more than 600 measles cases in 22 states, most are in Texas. People usually recover, but doctors are stressing how dangerous and long-lasting the disease can be.

In Norway, consumers have started turning US made products in supermarkets upside down. Like, share and comment if you think this is a good idea. www.nettavisen.no/okonomi/boik...

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

"CBC News has submitted a number of requests for interviews with Joffe since Alberta's outbreaks began. On multiple occasions, CBC has been told he's unavailable and, in some cases, we did not receive a response from Alberta Health." #ableg #abpoli #abhealth

"You're not going to miss your retirement money, folks!!! It was just numbers!!! Not nearly as important as saying the lie 'America First'!!! Now, that's REAL! Kinda . . . " God, these people are idiots.

A huge swath of Silicon Valley is horrified by what Elon Musk is doing — but they’re increasingly afraid to say so. 👉 politi.co/4jkwGR2

Instead of attending a ceremony honoring 4 fallen American soldiers, Donald Trump chose to attend a LIV Golf dinner reception financed by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia.

More incredible reporting from @lukelebrun.ca here:

When Child Services and Minister Searle Turton respond to this drastic and hurtful cut as "affecting ONLY 650 children" You can pretty well figure out how much empathy they have for individual vulnerable families and children. Just heartless! #abpoli #ableg #child #youth #services #FireTheUCP

Alberta's Mature Asset Strategy report is cronyism, plain and simple. The whole process was led by an industry insider (David Yager) and it recommends that taxpayers assume responsibility for the mess that oil and gas companies have created. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... #ABLeg #ABPoli

“Alberta has the third-highest unemployment rate in the country, behind Newfoundland and Labrador (10 per cent), Prince Edward Island (7.5 per cent) and Ontario (7.5 per cent).” Big win! (Did we Smith right?) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Almost half of the country’s health insurance now rests in the hands of a man who once sold miracle pills — with zero proof they worked — on daytime TV.

The #CPC and their ilk are getting desperate. This headline should read "Dinosaur grift seeking separatist from the 80's threatens secession - again" Carney has done more to unite us in a month, than Poilievre ever could. His opinion is trash. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

We're very excited to announce journalists @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and Emily Baron Cadloff are teaming up with National Observer staff for a biweekly election fact-checking segment. First post coming tomorrow! Follow for updates.
