AFP: "It breaks my heart": UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher says "we're seeing staggering amounts of money, reportedly a billion dollars a day” being spent on the Middle East war, rather than addressing the world’s β€œhuge humanitarian caseload.”

Have Alberta’s finances gone off the rails?

Trevor Tombe, β€œAlberta’s reliance on resource revenues is higher today than under any premier since Don Getty (excluding COVID-19)”

Not population increase but policies to blame!

Help spread the word!

On Monday, March 9, the Bearspaw South Feeder Main (BSFM) will be shut down to allow for planned reinforcement repairs to support the stability of the current pipe.

If I've got this right, #yyc has got some water restrictions coming up on March 9. Planned restrictions, which means we have time to prepare! So pretty soon we're going to start seeing some messaging from @calgary.ca to help citizens get ready, right? @jeromyyyc.bsky.social @daorcey.bsky.social

Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

If we are to have a vote on separation, it should be the Forever Canadian question! It is constitutional and it was the first to achieve the required signatures.

Under no definition of leadership do you start proposing solutions without defining the problem. And no it’s not immigration which has declined sharply in the past 2 years

None of Smith's referendum questions are likely to result in actual policy change.

Because they require constitutional amendments (federal veto) or are plainly unconstitutional.

Assuming "yes" votes carry, what then?

Kenney's equalization referendum didn't soothe separatists. It emboldened them.

Net migration in Alberta. Up, up, up, down, down, down.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

And now judges are weighing in.

This is an extraordinary letter.

Glad to see the judiciary standing up for democracy.

Trump cabinet member weighs in on Alberta separatism | CBC News U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent commented Thursday on the separatist movement in Alberta β€” making him the highest-ranking member of the Trump administration to weigh in on the province's politic...

Alberta separatism isn’t about independence. It’s about becoming the 51’st state. Trump’s eyeing Alberta. Separatists are helping him.

Masked ICE militia can’t replace the Mounties.

PLEASE, register at Forever-Canadian.ca and join the resistance!

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Dorothea Palmer said "A woman should be the master of her own body."
She worked to promote birth control in Canada. She was arrested, charged and put on trial.
Her trial, the Eastview Birth Control Trial, became a landmark case in Canada.
This is her story.
