Democracy requires an educated population and an independent press, not MAGA and Postmedia. We are doomed unless we fix this. Nonpartisan centrist living in the Comox Valley.

Having written news releases for CF casualties, I know the approvals process for these are even more rigorous than other NRs.
That the US would allow such insulting amateur mistakes in this NR demonstrates that something is seriously broken inside the US DoD.

All religions are by definition made-up nonsense, but if it makes people happy, have at β€˜er.
Except evangelicals and fundamentalists. They’re dangerous nut jobs and a threat to everyone else.

Markwayne Mullin: Who is Trump's pick for Homeland Security secretary? The first-term senator, who was once a mixed martial arts fighter, has been a supporter of Trump's policies.

This guy is even dumber, less educated, and more trailer trash #MAGA hillbilly than Kristi Noem.
America is so hooped.

As this analysis shows, the collapsing NDP vote in BC ridings like mine (NI-PR) benefits only one party - the CPC.
This riding hasn’t gone LPC since the 1970s, and it won’t go LPC anytime soon, because vote splitting is a real thing.

BC Conservative leadership race: let’s cozy up with the bigots, racists and conspiracy crackpots!
BC Conservatives in the next general election: we’re just reasonable, moderate centre-right folks, honest!

It will be no surprise to anyone that the north Georgia town he represents has a long history of racist violence, even more than most of rural America.

Trump threatens to halt trade with Spain over air base access Trump lashed out after Spain barred the US from using its military bases to carry out strikes on Iran.

Why TF would anyone negotiate a trade deal with the Trump regime?
It is of absolutely zero value.

Countries in need of regime change. I am skeptical any of these will get it:
*Iran
*USA
*Israel
*Russia
*Venezuala
*Cuba
*Hungary
*Belarus
*China (PRC)
*most of Africa, the Middle East and Asia, but nobody ever talks about that

Saying Iran is a brutal dictatorship is fine. Carney should have left it at that.

I’m an opinionated guy who says lots of non-PC stuff, but I’m really tired of bigoted RWNJs purposely confusing defamatory hate speech (not protected) and strong opinions (protected).
Want to say the former without consequences? Move to the USA, dummy.

Here in Canada, we don’t have stupid things like permanent voter rolls that voters are removed from when they’re still alive by partisan politicians.

America, why do you work so hard to subvert democracy?

It’s frustrating that the BCCP continues to pander to racists, bigots and conspiracy crackpots.
We need an official opposition that is a reasonable β€œgovernment in waiting”, not RWNJs, because the current mess is bad for democracy and good governance.

I was career Regular Canadian Forces. I was Antifa. My dad, uncle, and grandfather were all full-time military back in the UK. They were all Antifa, too.

Genius is an idiot, an embarrassment and a #MapleMAGA traitor.

Alberta government projects $9.4B deficit with no plan to return to balanced budgets | CBC News Finance Minister Nate Horner says his United Conservative Party government must break some of its own fiscal restraint laws to weather an increase in population that came without an economic boom.

BC has a huge deficit cuz the BC NDP government have done an awful job under Eby.
Alberta has a huge deficit cuz the UCP have done an awful job under Smith.
This is why I’m a nonpartisan. Because good or poor governance is not limited to any party or ideology.

We go to Sayward every year. It’s got amazing potential and is only 40 minutes up from Campbell River, which is booming.
But it’s been a gong show ever since the forestry biz in town downsized. It probably should have stopped being a municipality 25 years ago.

I wasn’t planning on renewing my UK passport cuz I have a perfectly good Canadian one, but this new rule also means I guess I’m not visiting the UK again.
I’m not sure the UK government thought this one through.

If the BC Conservatives choose a reasonable moderate and run on fiscal prudence, they might win the next election.
But what will likely happen is what’s happening in the leadership campaign: RWNJ social conservatism, amateur hour buffoonery, and blue-on-blue fratricide.

Lord Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office The ex-US ambassador had been under investigation over allegations he shared market-sensitive government information with Jeffrey Epstein while a government minister.

Hey, America, the UK still has rule of law, unlike your kleptocratic dictatorship.

It’s hard to keep track of the insane conspiracy theories the RWNJs engage in, but this one caught my eye.
According to the mouthbreathers, PM Carney is secretly recruiting young men in the People’s Republic of China to create an army to take over Canada.
Possibly the dumbest conspiracy this week.

Going to the USA now is playing Russian roulette, especially if you’ve ever criticized the Trump regime.

β€œAlberta’s Official Opposition NDP plans to react to Smith’s speech on Friday morning.”

Nahed Nenshi is like the root bear: nice, adorable and fundamentally useless.

Why TF weren’t you all over this nonsense speech like white on rice?
