Odds are strong that UCP will tilt election odds by stretching city ridings into rural Alberta. A new report, still supposed to be secret, shows at least three Calgary ridings are in play. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/co… #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg

Eby’s tax hikes will make BC the second highest tax jurisdiction in the world behind Denmark.

🗒️ Statement from the Family: 🗒️ Parker is a loved son, brother and friend. Our family is heartbroken by his disappearance. Since he went missing, our family has been living every parent's worst nightmare. Every hour that passes without knowing where he is or whether he is safe has been incredibly devastating for us. We are asking everyone in the Calgary community to keep an eye out for Parker. Please check your neighbourhoods, parks, green spaces, yards, sheds, garages, RVs, vehicles, hot tubs and other places where he may have found shelter. Parker experiences the world in his own way. He may not respond when his name is called, and he can become frightened when approached by people he does not know. If you see Parker, please do not approach him. Give him space and call police immediately with his location while keeping him in view. A single sighting, a piece of video footage, or one small detail could help find him. Our only wish right now is to know that he is safe and to bring him home. The incredible support from our Calgary community has truly been overwhelming. To everyone who has searched, passed along his photo, provided information, shared video footage, or kept Parker in your thoughts, thank you. Knowing that so many wonderful people care and are tirelessly looking for our son has given us strength during the most difficult time of our lives. Parker is deeply loved, and he is missed immensely. We just want our son home. Information? ☎️ CPS: 403-266-1234 🛑 @stopcrimeyyc 📞 @MCSCanada: 1-800-661-6160 | mcsc.ca 📲 MCSC rescu: rescu.mcsc.ca/ ⚖ Case #: CA26318270 | 3916

Would you look at that. Smoke drifting up to Canada from the massive wildfires burning in Oregon and Washington. The US National Weather Service Spokane shared this satellite image showing active U.S. wildfires. Driven by mid-to-upper level winds, this massive smoke highway is tracking straight north, blanketing eastern Washington and northern Idaho before invading southern British Columbia. It completely flips Trump’s bizarre rants about punishing Canada. Turns out the atmosphere flows both ways.

BREAKING The Parliamentary Budget Officer has revealed that nearly 74,000 REJECTED asylum claimants are entitled to deluxe health benefits through the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP). Deluxe supplemental health benefits like vision care, home care, and physiotherapy now account for more than half of all IFHP costs. These are benefits that Canadians who have paid into the system their entire lives can’t access. Counselling costs have grown from less than 1% of supplementary spending in 2016 to 11% in 2025. Last year alone, taxpayers paid $38.79 million for counselling and $12.41 million for home visits for asylum seekers under the program. This damning information comes at a time when six million Canadians can’t access the basic service of a family doctor. The PBO also revealed the average length of IFHP coverage for asylum claimants is now a staggering four years. It is undeniable that as the backlog grows, rejected asylum claimants continue adding pressure to a health care system where Canadians are already facing long wait times for care. The Liberals must explain to Canadians why asylum seekers whose refugee claims were rejected, face enforceable removal orders, and in some cases fail to appear for removal, continue to receive deluxe, taxpayer-funded health benefits while they avoid leaving Canada.

Thank you for being true to the voters who elected you !!💙🇨🇦
Over the past few weeks, I have been approached by the Liberals and encouraged to cross the floor. I have firmly rejected their offer.

CHANGE ALERT: Conservatives will save your family $400/year by Axing the Food Packaging Tax; reversing the Liberal ban on plastic wrapping & containers. We’ll stop the plastic containers & wrapping ban that wastes food, limits choice & hikes grocery costs. Vote for Change. Vote Conservative.

It's AMAZING how the 1984 election is repeating itself today so accurately. The Conservatives criticized the Liberals for destroying the Canadian economy while the Liberals shift blame on to the USA (Our Allies) instead of themselves for their economic failures! 🤣 @CPC_HQ

Can't afford housing? Find gas expensive? Feeling angst every time you pay bills? Don't worry. Jagmeet & Justin took government taxes off your $5 bag of chips, while they raise taxes on everything else. They're out of touch. You’re out of money. Sign to call a carbon tax election: conservative.ca/cpc/call-for…

Things are so good in Canada that the Justin Trudeau Liberals are pausing GST and HST taxes for a couple months for the holiday season. This is a copy from Conservative's Erin O'Toole policy promise to cut the tax for the holidays.
