Good morning everyone. I’m deeply grateful to wake up in Canada today. For all our challenges, we live in one of the best places on earth. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise!

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief. “Streets of Minneapolis”. He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday. Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can

Alberta, this piece makes the case against the Grassy Mtn coal project and long term contamination very accurately. Short term thinking causing generational damage to our water supply. Worth a quick read to understand the Grassy Mtn situation.  edmontonjournal.com/opinion/… – at Lethbridge, Alberta

GOOD NEIGHBOURS... 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🟥 I have seen so many comments over the past several months, and especially in recent days, from Americans reaching out to express their apologies to Canada, for Trump’s attitude toward us: the harsh rhetoric, threats, and overall treatment... They emphasize that they do not support or endorse his behaviour, and stress their DEEP respect and affection for Canada. They want to make it clear that Trump’s actions and words do not reflect the views or values of most Americans. AMERICAN FRIENDS – we know that the great majority of you feel nothing but goodwill toward us. We’ve always been, and still are, good neighbours. ✅ A shared history runs between us. ▪️ Shared sacrifices. ▪️ Shared traditions. ▪️ An intertwined economy. ▪️ Shared security and defence commitments. That bond isn’t fragile. It’s not going anywhere. It’s UNBREAKABLE. And when this moment of madness has passed ... and it WILL ... we will come together again, bound by our shared affection and common purpose, as nations and as peoples. 👍🏼 This video from the last Liberal Party campaign, that features the town of Gander, Newfoundland that opened their doors and hearts to thousands of stranded Americans after 9/11, reminds me of our close bond. ⬇️ 🙂

Every single Alberta UCP elected official - from Danielle Smith on down, and every single Conservative Party of Canada elected - from Poilievre on down - should be asked to repudiate Mr Bessent. Smith should be writing him a letter of clarification.
Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

Adler on fire with his trademark Canadian Common Sense. #WEF26 #Davos26 #Trump #cdnpoli #RealTalkRJ 🇨🇦
Carney Triggers Trump in Davos. Senator @charlesadler tells us why he's "damn proud" of Canada's PM at #WEF, and digs into POTUS' response. How do you feel about Mark Carney's message? 👀 FULL: rtrj.info/012126Adler 🎧 FULL: rtrj.info/012126 #cdnpoli #WEF26 #Davos26

🚨 JUST IN: In a jaw-dropping declaration, Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen announced that "If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the EU."

From the DM’s… It takes a special kind of “wait, what?” to actually reduce the number of available beds during a healthcare crisis. But nonetheless, here we are. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Mike Young did nothing to change my mind in this interview. It is the classic big business... trust us and our science and don't trust that other science which apparently he said he had not read. #NoToCoal No Coal Mining in the Eastern Slopes.

In broad daylight. In public. A life taken. Renee Nicole Good is being remembered today a woman whose life mattered and who did not deserve to die. She was killed by an ICE agent identified as Jonathan Ross. The investigation is ongoing. This isn’t about politics. It’s about accountability. It’s about a human life. RIP Renee 💔
