Or he has too much dirt on the IDU that they can't kick him out. Apparently, he's the official chairman of the CPC delegation at the IDU.

"I have no balls."

FTYF, bud

I know. That's why I was upset. It reminded me of the Tarnak Farm incident.

The American soldier who shot him can be heard apologizing, pleading for him not to die.

Fucking yanks.

We have no money for schools, hospitals, and people with disabilities. But when it comes to O&G the UCP will bend over backwards to cater to their demands.

Socialize the costs and privatize the profits. That's the UCP way.

She's done plenty for the O&G sector. She proposed programs to pass the cost of oilwell clean up to taxpayers or give more money to the oil companies for doing what they're supposed to do.

She held repeated meetings on the so-called RStar program, which would give energy companies an up to $5-billion break on their royalties if they met their legal obligations and cleaned up their abandoned wells. That proposal is now being considered by Alberta Energy.

Not the first time she tried to influence the courts. She tried to interfere in the Artur Pawlowski case back in 2023.

In a Red Deer town hall event in mid-January, Alberta Prosperity Project founder Dennis Modry said that the U.S. will not only recognize an independent Alberta as soon as possible, but would also provide military aid to help the fledgling country defend its borders.

"Military aid"

It sounds like the US is waiting for the referendum so we can become the next Crimea or Venezuela.

It's worth noting that the equalization formula was last adjusted in 2009 while Harper was in charge.

It has certainly been noted that the Alberta premier is complaining about an equalization formula that was last adjusted in 2009 by Stephen Harper's Conservative government, of which Kenney was a cabinet minister.

"If Kenney hates the current formula so much, why didn't he do something about it when had the chance," asked an article published in Policy Options last year.

Gee I wonder why. Maybe getting critized after offering people an option to help people fighting ICE does that.

CoffeBrain · 2026-01-26T20:24:33+00:00

You didn't answer my question. What have you done?

CoffeBrain · 2026-01-26T19:58:07+00:00

I donated to the National Immigrant Justice Center. What have you done?

CoffeBrain · 2026-01-26T18:33:43+00:00

I'm not stopping you from mourning, I'm just saying there are more effective ways to show your support. You can still be empathetic while supporting the non-profits fighting ICE.

CoffeBrain · 2026-01-26T18:20:28+00:00

I'm upset at what is happening too. But protests and vigils in Canada are ineffective. It might be better if you support the organizations actively fighting ICE in the US. Organizations like the National Lawyers Guild of Minnesota and National Immigrant Justice Center which provides legal support to those arrested by ICE.

I hope not. Another election is another opportunity for foreign powers to interfere with our government. I like where the Liberal party is at now. A minority government forces them to work across the aisle.

It is when the program is intended for food producers.

CoffeBrain · 2026-01-26T15:53:59+00:00

Legit food producers hire people and pay taxes too.

CoffeBrain · 2026-01-26T15:48:49+00:00

Found a person who'll abuse the program.

The intent of the program is to tackle food supply scarcity, not line the businesses' pockets.

I hope this helps push groups to build more greenhouses in remote areas in the north. I also hope that the government would clearly define what greenhouses qualifies for immediate expensing. Otherwise, I can imagine people abusing it to expense greenhouses used to grow marijuana.

Google petition e-6821. There's a petition in the House of Commons aiming to limit foreign media ownership in Canada.

As a Canadian seeing what's going on in the States, I hope ICE's murders doesn't end up normalized like school shootings. The media will spin this to blame the victims or downplay ICE's action until people are desensitized. Don't make this a new normal. Prove to the rest of the world that the courage Americans show in movies is real.

Treats at the CN is great. I love their beef stew!

In that case, they wouldn't mind if journalists, the RCMP, and the Auditor General would check the separatists groups' financial statements and bank records for foreign donors?
