Canada’s economy is in a sorry state: we can’t afford a navy, and our culture is the butt of jokes!
What Have We Become?
Pierre Poilievre, and the Legacy Media
Journalists in the legacy media persist in asserting that Pierre Poilievre, who has consistently preached small government and Canadian freedoms, does not have a coherent policy.
Emergency measures
Trudeau the Son is much more sensitive than Trudeau the Father.
The Father declared the War Measures Act with bombs, kidnappings, and murder.
“Yes, Minister,” here in Alberta?
I hope that the Calgary Regional Planning Board dies a quick and cost-saving death.

Notwithstanding Clause
Except for the fact that they are serious, the proposition that Doug Ford’s use of the notwithstanding clause is somehow a violation of the “rule of law“ would be genuinely hilarious. It is a section of the Canadian constitution. It…
Alberta is at Risk
The Alberta government should immediately study a full program of truck and transport inspections and licenses for vehicles crossing Alberta from British Columbia. This urgent demand flows from my brooding on the manifold risks that Alberta citizens run every day…
