....unless its a pipeline through BC, apparently.

Seems our airports are about as secure as our borders.

CBC's "Northland Tales", the humiliation ritual targeting RCMP veterans and people with conservative views, amounts to money laundering for activists if it doesn't get aired.

CBC paid for a show. If they don't actually air the show, then they just paid these people for no reason. So, people with a certain political view get money, certain other people with other views get abused, and then it all gets swept under the rug.

What other things have they funded but we never saw?

I say air it. We paid for it. Let them show us what we paid for. I don't want to just give extreme left activists free money. Show the world their creation.

At a recent meeting, I was asked to deliver a land acknowledgment and was informed that doing so was compulsory. I have concerns about compelled speech and freedom of expression, which I intend to address separately at a later time. In response to the request, I prepared the following statement: "We acknowledge that the Coquitlam area has long been home to Coast Salish peoples, including kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem First Nation), the primary nation of the Coquitlam River watershed, from which the city derives its name meaning “Red Fish up the River.” The region also has longstanding ties to neighbouring nations including səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation), the “People of the Inlet,” and q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie First Nation), whose ancestral connections extend through the Pitt River and surrounding areas."

Like much of British Columbia, questions surrounding Indigenous rights, title, and territorial boundaries remain part of ongoing legal, treaty, and inter-nation discussions within Canada’s constitutional framework".

In all honesty I have a problem with land acknowledgments as they grossly oversimplify the issues going on, and generally I feel are disingenuous while undermining Canada and the institutions they are coming from. How did I do?

“We’re asking all of the people that signed (our) petition and all of our canvassers to organize themselves to sell memberships across the province, because if our question is not put on a ballot by the end of the month, we’re going to be organizing a special general meeting of the of the United Conservative Party for August,” Rath said.

As someone who knows the ins and outs of polling, there are outliers and then there's this. Just a remimder to be careful about polls like this and to be aware of their hidden biases and variables that can skew them

Realistically, Carney's approval vs disapproval would be close to 50-50, give or take some. There's just no way it's this high

But the release went out while the committee was still meeting and hadn’t actually finalized anything.

Chaos descended upon a bipartisan Alberta legislature committee meeting Wednesday afternoon, when the UCP issued a news release declaring the outcome of a referendum question vote that had not yet happened. Erik Bay was there and has more on the fallout.
