It’s official.
The UCP are going all in on rigging the next election.
It’s unprecedented and unacceptable.
MLAs should have no part in drawing the boundaries for the seats they run to represent.
We’ll have more to say soon because Alberta, we need to fight back. #ableg

Were Oscar Wilde alive to see the US under Trump, he'd update his quote to: 'America went from barbarism to decadence, back to barbarism, without any civilization in between'

Some facts on this whole Trump/Reagan/Ford ad thing because there are a lot of false claims out there.

BREAKING: trump is having a temper tantrum, ending ALL trade negotiations with Canada.
He's butthurt that they aired an ad of President Reagan that shows how dumb trump's tariffs are.
It's VERY effective.
Be a shame if it went viral. 🇺🇲🇨🇦

America is no longer Canada's ally. They sent us a fucking COMPLAINT letter because the smoke from our wildfires is upsetting them.🤦♀️
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? How many times has Canada come to their aid? Fires, terrorism, wars, hurricanes, power outages, the list is endless.

So the U.S. has fires, Canada sends waterbombers and crews. When Canada has fires the U.S. sends letters of complaint. This sums everything up perfectly. “Canadian wildfire smoke ruining Americans' summer, says letter from Congress” @MeidasTouch cbc.ca/news/world/canadian-w…

On behalf of our family, Laureen, Ben, Rachel, and I offer our deepest sympathies to Mila, Caroline, Ben, Mark, Nicholas, and their families.
History will record that Mr. Mulroney’s premiership was transformational.
Prime Minister Mulroney fought to secure the Free Trade Agreement with the United States, from which Canada has benefitted immensely ever since.
Prime Minister Mulroney stood for freedom and democracy on the world stage, in his principled opposition to apartheid in South Africa, his enduring support for Israel, and his advocacy of independence for Ukraine and the other European nations long under the yoke of Soviet communism.
Prime Minister Mulroney championed significant international environmental measures including the Montreal Protocol and the Canada-US Acid Rain Treaty.
Mr. Mulroney will also be remembered as the first Canadian Conservative leader to win back-to-back majority mandates since Sir John A. Macdonald, including the largest electoral victory in Canadian history.
Canada has lost a historic figure, and we mourn his passing with all his many friends and associates.

"It is with great sadness that Canadians learn of the loss of one of our greatest ever statesmen, the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney. The love and prayers of all Canadians go to his beloved children, Caroline, Ben, Mark and Nicolas, and the love of his life, his best friend and wife, Mila.
"From Baie-Comeau, the son of an Irish electrician, raised in a working-class community, Mr. Mulroney had achieved prodigious success in business by the time he was in his late 30s. He led the Iron Ore Company as President and played leading roles in many of Canada’s other brilliant companies.
"His success in politics was even greater, winning the biggest majority in Canadian history, along with an impressive reelection. But it was the transformational change he brought to his nearly a decade as Prime Minister that is most important. He unleashed free enterprise, crushed inflation, restored fiscal sanity and concluded one of the greatest free trade agreements the world has ever seen, which remains largely in place today. These changes gave thousands of working-class families the same opportunities he had, that is, the chance to work hard, buy a home, and build their dreams.
"On the world stage, he stood firmly on the side of Western allies against communism and for freedom. He was among the first and most strident to fight against South Africa’s apartheid policy and champion the cause of Nelson Mandela. He later went on to thank Mr. Mulroney for his essential role in ending this racist policy.
"I will always be thankful for his candid advice and generous mentorship to me personally. All Canadians are grateful for his immense sacrifice and the lasting legacy he leaves us all."

40 years ago at this very moment, Pierre Trudeau was taking a walk in the snow.
With inflation raging, Canada's place in the world diminished, and Canadians saddled with record debt, he came to the conclusion he had done enough.
He resigned the next day.
His drama teacher son has damaged Canada like his father. Perhaps even worse.
We suffer the same problems.
It would be the ultimate performance for the wannabe actor to replicate his father in grand style 40 years to the day.
But I suspect he won't.
He's more of a narcissist.
He still thinks he can win.
He'll hold on until the end.
Making Canada more broke & more divided to suit his own ego.
