Speech is never more free then when you stand up for the right of someone you disagree with to express themselves.

In 2014, Canadian and American salaries were roughly on par.
Today, American salaries are 30-50% higher.
Hard working Canadians are struggling to make ends meet and many families spend more on taxes than on housing, food, and bills combined.
'Broken Country' is a new documentary that explores what went wrong in Canada, what can be done, and what other countries can learn from it.

New federal records have revealed that the Trudeau government compiled a blacklist of Canadians sympathetic to the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest and privately permitted it to be circulated among thousands of private corporations.

"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...
I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.
That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

I have been called the r-word by the very same people who would have wanted my mom to abort me just because I have a disability.
That’s just wild.

A reminder that America is full of tens of millions of decent people who share our values and have our backs as we’ve had theirs. Let’s not allow politicians on either side of the border to convince us otherwise.

The Prime Minister’s video is another illusion.
He says he wants a permanent rupture with our biggest customer while he keeps 90% of his personal investments in the U.S.
He has doubled the deficit, negotiated no new free trade deals with any other country, approved no pipelines, and given Canada the worst food inflation, the worst household debt, the worst housing costs, and the only shrinking economy in the G7.
Fear is not a plan. We must reverse Liberal taxes, deficits, and anti-resource laws so we can be affordable, safe, and strong at home.

Mark Carney has been wrong about every major economic question of our time.
- He predicted COVID would cause deflation
- He supported carbon taxes
- His Net-Zero Alliance is now bankrupt and shut down
- He wrote we should keep 50% of our oil in the ground
- He opposed the Northern Gateway Pipeline
He is an expert at making exactly the wrong call every single time.

The pundits chirping about @PierrePoilievre’s leadership of the @CPC_HQ seem to forget that he just won 87% in a leadership review vote.
Under his leadership a year ago, the Conservative Party won by far the largest number of votes in its history, and the highest share of popular vote since 1988.
He has expanded the Conservative coalition in important ways, and has been perhaps the most effective opposition leader in modern Canadian history, driving Justin Trudeau out of office, and defining the key issues in national politics for most of his tenure.
I have been critical (constructively, I hope) about some aspects of his leadership, including the admittedly difficult problem of how to deal with the destabilizing threats and uncertainty emanating from Donald Trump.
But I am encouraged to see Mr. Poilievre modifying his approach to address lessons learned from the last election, e.g. his recent trips abroad, and a broader approach to communications.
There is no doubt in my mind that he has the confidence of the Conservative Party, and has won the right to contest the next election.
And to the small number of Conservatives who might be sceptical, I ask them how the party benefits from the constant internal strife of changing leaders? What message would it send to Canadians to have a seventh leader (including interims) since 2015?
IMO the Liberal majority should be seen by Conservatives as an opportunity to:
- demonstrate the maturity and discipline expected of a government in waiting;
- focus on offering constructive ideas that address Canada’s deep challenges, as opposed to a perennially angry clickbait oppositional approach;
- recruit talented candidates with senior private sector and government leadership experience who can help present a team that’s ready to govern;
- demonstrate that Conservatives do not regard the Trump phenomenon as a distraction to be downplayed, but a serious and disruptive threat to our sovereignty and prosperity to be addressed head-on;
- have the courage to lead responsibly on difficult issues, like the need for root and branch reform of the broken immigration system; promoting the duty of newcomers to integrate; reversing the woke denigration of Canada’s historically grounded identity and institutions, etc; challenging the growing abuse of judicial power in the criminal justice system, etc.;
- clearly demonstrate that ours is the party of Confederation by helping to lead the fight for national unity against potential secession referenda in Alberta & Quebec.
Canadians want and deserve a serious opposition that fulfils its constitutional duty to offer an alternative government. IMO, that means maintaining strong, stable, patriotic leadership that can learn from past mistakes, while building with confidence.

NEW: 17-year-old battling a rare bone cancer at Norton Children’s Hospital is surprised with a prom proposal from her boyfriend
Kaitlyn Hutchins has been battling osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer, for the past two years
Despite everything, she still got dressed up with her makeup and crown, refusing to give up
Her family said it started as what doctors thought was a simple sports injury before it kept getting worse
"I took her to our pediatrician and they said it was just an inflammation and to do Tylenol and elevation and we were sent on our way..." her mother said
She has gone through six relapses and is still fighting
"I took her to the orthopedic doctor and within like five minutes of the X-ray popping up, we saw it. And I know exactly what it was."
Doctors say there are no more treatment options, but Kaitlyn says she is not ready to give up
"I'm not done. And we read the Bible every night, and we're leaning into our faith. And she is telling me it is not my time. So I have to listen to my child. And I'm praying there's a miracle," her mom said

🚨 BREAKING: Danielle Smith Just Dropped the Hammer on Alberta’s Out-of-Control Unions and Immigration Chaos with Bills 25 & 26!
Smith isn’t playing games. While Ottawa floods the province with record immigration and union bosses push their woke agenda in classrooms, she's fighting back HARD.
Bill 25 guts politics and ideology from our schools once and for all. No more rainbow flags flying over every school, no more teachers turning classrooms into activist camps, and no more union-driven indoctrination. Canadian and Alberta flags only. National anthem played weekly. Teachers forced to stay neutral on hot-button issues.
The Alberta Teachers’ Association is already melting down... because their grip on our kids’ minds just got crushed. Enough is enough. Our children deserve education, not propaganda.
Yesterday's Bill 26 takes back control of immigration from Ottawa. New employer registry for foreign workers. Licensing for shady recruiters and consultants. Finally some oversight to stop fake job offers, illegal fees, and exploitation of slave workers. This protects Alberta jobs, housing, and services from being overwhelmed.
Smith proves she's done letting federal chaos dictate our future.... and that she doesn't need a referendum to address thses issues. .
This is what real leadership looks like. No more union stranglehold on education. No more out-of-control immigration straining our hospitals, schools, and roads.
What do you think?

Yesterday was a big day for us. We transitioned out of the ICU into a more recovery and rehab-focused unit, and it’s now been 26 hours since Maya’s EVD was removed for the second time. So far, everything is looking positive. She doesn’t seem to be in as much pain, and we’re starting to see a little more energy and color come back. She’s still not a fan of the boot for the pressure sore on her heel doing her best to kick it off whenever she can but her movements are becoming much more intentional.
Our time in the PICU, for lack of a better word, has been a whirlwind filled with both highs and lows for Maya, but slowly we're making some more progress.
And then came a moment today that completely overwhelmed me. OT and Physio came in, and with their help, Maya was able to sit up on the edge of the bed. This was huge for two reasons. First, she was using her own muscles to help support herself (with assistance), and second… I was finally able to wrap my arms around my daughter. Really wrap my arms around her and hold her tight.
I can’t even begin to put into words what that hug felt like. All I wanted in that moment was to lift her up, hold her close, and never let go.
We’re getting there, my little Maya Bear 🐻 I love you so much ❤️
