You don't actually have to do any of this. You can go and live in the wilderness. But these guys think the alternative is a utopia, not a "state of nature". Which really explains their entire worldview. If you compare reality to utopia, of course everything is terrible.

"Community Revitalization Levy" is just lefty speak for yet another new tax. @DanWMcLean - why is your Mayoral candidate campaigning on raising taxes, and do you support this too?

This is, of course, nonsense. In 2012, Alberta MLAs earned $134,000. In 2013, the PCs cut it to $127,296. In 2019, the UCP cut it to $120,936. In 2025, it was raised to $123,838. That’s an 8% cut, after 13 years. Why can’t the left google even the most basic of facts?

So @DaveCreeWard8 has dropped out of running for Council, so there will be less of a vote split on the left in Ward 8. Will he be getting a cushy union-job after the election, like the candidate who dropped out of the Ward 11 race to help Kourtney Penner did in 2021?

Imagine just how bad of an NDP leader Nenshi must be for the UCP to be losing 11% to their right, and yet the NDP are still getting clobbered. When Kenney was losing 10-12% to his right, Notley was leading the polls by 20%!

If the mere physical presence of someone antagonises others so severely that it risks a "breach of the peace" which police "can't deal with if they attack you", then the police should remove the people threatening to attack others, not the people under attack.

Why does Naheed Nenshi want more Albertans to lose their jobs? Or is he an economics denier?

If there's any other terrorist groups out there wanting recognition as a nation state, you now know what you need to do: Invade a neighboring country Capture hostages Rape women Kill babies Behead seniors Torture anyone left And hey presto, the Liberals have got your back!

A simple explanation of the Notwithstanding clause issue today: In Canada the government is the ultimate decider of some things and judges are the ultimate decider of some things. The government just asked the judges if judges should be the ultimate decider for all things.

What @SeanFraserMP doesn't say, but must know, is that he has asked the Supreme Court to adopt a totalising view of judicial power that would fundamentally alter the Constitutional compact of 1982, throwing the country into constitutional crisis. Funny he leaves that out. I'll…

It’s not the debt that drives inflation. It’s the extra new dollars printed to pay for the debt. “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.” - Milton Friedman Corey, this is Economics 101 - please read an introductory economics book before tweeting.

As long as there's no national security implications (and there aren't), Canadians should be free to choose to buy EVs from China or from the USA. Canada dropping tariffs on Chinese EVs in return for China dropping tariffs on Canola is a no brainer. torontosun.com/news/national/…

Yep, and we still don't know which Liberal MPs actively helped China interfere in the 2019 and 2021 elections!
