US life expectancy will continue to trend downwards for the foreseeable future. Hopefully this does not impact vaccine availability in Canada.

Tomorrow at noon, the premier is hosting a press conference on the "Alberta Accord" and "Alberta Next" ultimatums. If I made better life choices and had the chance to be a journalist in the room, here's what I'd be asking. 🧵

Remember - polls close at 7:30pm MT tonight. But if you're in line to vote at 7:30pm, even if you haven't made it through the line - you can vote. Bring the right ID and let's go out there and do some democracy! www.how2vote.ca

LIBERALS: for every one of us sitting at home and not voting on Monday, there will be three Cons waiting in line to vote. This is not a drill.

There you have it, folks,straight from Trump’s mouthpiece: he still wants 🇨🇦Canada as the 51st state. #ElbowsUp

Excellent video.

We got our Canadian election voter card in the mail this week, and will be taking advantage of the 4 days of advance voting that will make it easy. Remember, the polls look good for Carney, but DON’T be overconfident. Polls don’t win elections. Neither do pundits. TURNOUT wins elections. #VOTE

“While the US prefers dictators to democrats, punishes its friends, and lies, bullies and plots to steal allies’ sovereign territory, there is no going back. Many, perhaps most, Americans abhor this vile behaviour – yet unaccountably fail to stop it,” Simon Tisdall says what many of us are thinking.

A bit on the nose...

If the federal party leaders left politics after the election and resumed their private sector careers: Carney: International finance and commerce Singh: Criminal defence lawyer May: Environmental lawyer / Pedneault: Journalist Blanchet: Owner artist management firm Poilievre: Calgary Sun paperboy

Get ready to see Pierre Poilievre doing absolutely everything he can to destroy Mark Carney. He’s devastated and desperate after losing a historic lead in the polls in record time. He’ll lie constantly. He’ll be utterly hypocritical. His problem is that it will just remind everyone how toxic he is.

www.breitbart.com/politics/202... Smith tells Breitbart that US should pause its tariffs against Canada because it is benefitting the Liberals. Trump should want the CPC to win because "the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America."

Knowing what we know about Musk and his intent for Canada, every politician claiming to represent our interests should have voted with their feet — weeks ago. This is a short and punchy (but important) read:

This seems clearer everyday.

#IStandWithZelenskyy 🇺🇦 Pass it on.

If you are going to hide how public money is spent, then I'm going to assume it is not being spent in the best interests of the public. Exhibit A:

While we're busy renaming things, propose we rename the US the Chaotic States of Elbonia. Main exports: Bullshit and misery.

I’m 100% serious about this, in upcoming elections and every election. Vote for someone with integrity, who is very smart and effective, and who Elon Musk doesn’t want to win.

A lot of people: When the sky is clear the sky is blue. A couple of people: Clouds are made of marshmallows and cotton candy. Danielle Smith: See? A group of people talking about things? That’s Science.

The Alberta COVID-19 Pandemic Data Review Task Force report was created with bias, and promotes misinformation. @cmadocs.bsky.social endorses the concerns of the Alberta Medical Association. We cannot afford to promote more distrust in science and evidence-based medicine.

Paging Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. #ableg #abpoli

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Let's see how many Liberals are here. #cdnpoli #peipoli
