Duchess Bakery decided to grovel and try and appease a few hundred extremists rather than stand up and say that if normal people want to have a Harry Potter theme, that’s fine. They have lost my business and should lose yours too for being so cowardly.

A sobering fact that is ignored by the Bank of Canada and the Economic Elites of Canada.
The delusion in Canada needs to stop!
The has Canada lagged the United States in population-adjusted employment growth from 2019 to 2024. Canada relied much more heavily on government-sector hiring, while private-sector employment failed to keep pace with its growing working-age population.
Sure let’s hike rates.
Canada added no private sector jobs from 2019 to 2024 — U.S. did the exact opposite nationalpost.com/news/canada…

Ladies and gentlemen, meet The Right Honourable Premayor.
Working day and night to ignore every pothole, every broken streetlight, and every snow clearing disaster so he can weigh in on every provincial decision that isn’t his job.

Only a Liberal would come up with this:
Look at all the businesses that Carney EXCLUDED from the capital gains exemption.
Mining, forestry, agriculture, real estate, utilities, fishing, recreation, any franchise…oh, and real estate and food.
Nothing like claiming a new measure will drive growth, and then excluding the major drivers of our economy.

Can a man can get pregnant? Health Canada won’t say no. This is also the insane approved position of Canada’s Liberal Govt. Please email your Liberal MP. Request a response. And if you want this insanity to continue then keep voting Liberal.
"A pregnant person is a person who is pregnant."
That's the answer the Liberal-appointed head of the PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCY OF CANADA gave when asked to define a term used in her own agency's taxpayer-funded guidance on pregnancy.
When pressed to explain how that differs medically from a pregnant woman, she couldn't give a clear answer.
Our own Public Health Agency can't even clearly define the language it publishes in its public health guidance...or tell Canadians whether a man can get pregnant.
This is what happens when Liberal identity politics take priority over clear communication about biological reality.

What is so bananas about an article arguing that Canada needs even more government involvement to improve its economy is that, by many key metrics, the government's economic footprint is the largest it's been in 25 years. Employment, CAPEX, Consumption, and Taxes are just a few examples I've shared in the chart below.
What does Canada have to show for it? A Productivity Emergency. Anemic private-sector CAPEX. Pitiful competition in Banking, Telecoms, and Transport. Net FDI Outflows. A 30-year low in R&D spend. Business birth collapse. Zero Equity IPOs. NYMBYs. Impact Assessments. Ethnic vetos. Mushrooming manufacturing regulations. Withering economic freedom. Censorship. Mass media bias. Historic hospital wait times. It goes on and on and on.
Canada's problem is NOT a lack of government; it is that there is way too much government involvement. They pick winners, punish productivity, suppress talent, scare away what moves, tax what doesn't and squander billions; it's everywhere and in everything.
And the results? abysmal.
It may be time for a different approach.

The Alberta NDP continues to spread misinformation and undermine the credibility of the Independent Advisory Panel who released the new electoral boundaries.
Using the last election’s popular vote results, the new boundaries would give the NDP +3 more seats and the UCP +1.
If someone tried to gerrymander, they did a terrible job…

Nenshi’s gaslighting on this new boundary report will cost him whatever credibility he has left.
1. In the 2023 election, despite the UCP winning the popular vote by 9%, it only beat the NDP 49-38 in seats (11 seats).
2. Under the proposed boundaries just released, the same popular vote and distribution from 2023 would see the UCP seat share SHRINK FURTHER to 50-41 (9 seats).
How can any rational human being call the new map “UCP gerrymandering” when it is actually worse for the UCP? Absurd.
But Nenshi’s MO is to repeat lies and conspiracies over and over until those with limited critical thinking skills believe him…he grossly underestimates the intelligence of Albertans.
At the 2023 election, the UCP won 49 seats and the NDP won 38 seats.
Because election results are released per poll not just per riding, we can transpose those results to any hypothetical boundaries we want.
So… are the newly proposed boundaries fair?
Let’s dig in…
Had the 2023 election been fought on the boundaries proposed in spring, which added 2 new seats, the UCP would have got 48 seats and the NDP 41.
Yes, that’s right, both new seats AND an existing UCP seat would have gone NDP!
These new fall boundaries instead add 4 new seats and would result in the UCP winning 50 and the NDP winning 41.
So now 3 of the new seats go NDP and 1 goes UCP.
Do either of these scenarios sound like a gerrymander in the UCP’s favour to you?

This Islamophobia Awareness Month, I want to point out that Islam is responsible for vast the majority of religiously motivated terrorism in the world.
This Islamophobia Awareness Month, we must shine a light on the abhorrent hatred and discrimination Muslims continue to face.
In the last year alone, religious hate crimes targeting Muslims rose by 15% in England and Wales.
This is utterly unacceptable. London will always stand against hatred, prejudice and discrimination.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
UK security agencies still assess Islamist extremism as the largest terrorism threat. MI5's Islamist-related caseload remains roughly 75% of its counter-terrorism work, according to recent threat assessments.

But can we agree that promoting LNG and mineral exports out of a mostly ice-covered port in Churchill using icebreaking, is a lot riskier than sending double hulled oil tankers out of Prince Rupert, which can already accommodate shipping containers that carry 50,000 barrels/8000 m3 of petroleum fuel in their own tanks?
Can we agree there are different standards being applied for political, rather than scientific or technical, reasons?

The best person for the job should get the job. Period.
Today we tabled legislation that would ensure hiring and promotion decisions in the public sector are based on merit, not DEI policies. Mandatory workplace training will be relevant to the roles and responsibilities of the employee, instead of mandatory DEI sessions.
Every Albertan deserves a fair shot, and fairness means everyone competes on the same terms.

"It's a critical time in history", but not for the reasons he thinks.
Even in defeat he's promoting a failed ideology that got BC to the brink of disaster.
Politicians like him created this crisis, and it's critical that we continue to get rid of these morons.
I'm glad he resigned. Good riddance.
I can’t remember a premier more driven by pure radical ideology and less by what actually works. For years he pushed every failed progressive experiment on British Columbia. The results: tent cities, open drug use, record overdoses, unaffordable housing, rising crime, and capital fleeing. Then he had the arrogance to call a snap election two years early when the Conservatives looked messy, thinking voters would reward the mess he made. They didn’t. The NDP just got a proper shit-kicking and he’s out.
He wasn’t a pragmatist who occasionally went too far. He was the ideology, and it caused nothing but harm. BC is better off without him.

Progressives blaming Eby’s defeat in the election timing are totally missing the point. The whole purpose of the early election was to try to overcome the government’s unpopularity rooted in its poor outcomes.
The real problem was the cumulative cost of Eby’s ideological agenda. His government was the last holdout of the failures of Trudeauian progressivism: a subordination of economic growth in favour of deficit financed welfare spending, a dogmatic commitment to climate change and its anti-development effects, excessive identity politics and an overly self critical posture towards Canadian history, and its radical experiment with the harm reduction model.
Election timing and campaign choices didn’t defeat the Eby government. A broad cross-section of British Columbians—from rural parts of the province to downtown Vancouver—rejected it based on the self-evident failure of its ideas.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has embarked on a three-day visit to Turkey seeking closer relations with one of the world’s most repressive, cruel, and abusive regimes, a global leader in torturing prisoners, jailing journalists, and killing Kurds. This is the same Mark Carney who never misses a chance to condemn democratic Israel and threaten us with sanctions. Bon voyage to the hypocrite-in-chief.
Big tough guy @Alberta_Brute blocks me all the while primed for the big "fight" to take down Premier Smith. And is under the delusion that it is people who point out reality to him and his friends who are the problem and will pave the way for an NDP government. 😂😂
I think his mind is already made up.
Premier Smith has risked a lot to give voice to the separatist side of the UCP. So much that people actually think a fool activist like Nenshi will make a good Premier.
That you can't see that and are still saying you will take her down is so childish.
Expand your world, Alberta is a big and diverse province.

My daughter's two. My son is due next week.
It took us 40 mins to drive 7 km from the midwife. We'd take transit, but I don't want my pregnant wife breathing in crack smoke on the subway.
This is #Toronto under @OliviaChow. We want a safe city that moves, and one that I'm proud to raise my kids in.
That's why my wife and I are supporting @BradMBradford, and we hope that you will too. On October 26th, vote for Brad. #topoli
RT @ABDanielleSmith: I hope every UCP member and supporter will watch this video.
The referendum is behind us. Albertans gave their answe…
