Coal in Alberta: Neither public outrage nor waning global demand seem to matter to Danielle Smith

Hard to believe much of what comes out of "bullshit Barbies" mouth, but I don't hear anything contradicting previous statements from the felon wanting to annex Canada and turn us into the "51st state". That I believe.
It seems like the felon is banking on a hostile takeover of the USA to further his fight with China. Becoming a dictator, so he can suppress dissent and continue his trade war, regardless of the pain it inflicts on Americans, and the world. That he is willing to do this to the Americans, leaves me feeling taking Canada and Greenland by force doesn't seem to be much of a stretch anymore.

I've seen some houses go up for sale in our neighborhood. More than usual.

I don't personally have any fear of the US invading as the country is too divided with half of them (possibly more at this point) who think he's an idiot while the rest idolize him as the second coming of christ-ofacism. The country will break out into civil war before they invade anywhere unless there's some cataclysmic shift that unifies them. Although realistically another 9/11 is just as likely to fracture them even more at this point considering how divided their nation is.
On another note, anyone getting stoned watching the leaders debate in 30 mins?
I placed my order with Scallywag Seed Co for a cut of René, Space Queen (Vic Highs cut) and Winnie the Blue so hopefully it's a funny debate with Blanchett roasting Poilievre again to make it a near perfect day. If anyone hasn't checked out Scallywags retirement blow out I'd definitely check it out as he has a lot of classic and modern cuts that aren't often available.

Watched the whole debate and top points go to Carney for decorum. Never voted Liberal before but I think Carney is the horse to bet on in this race. Not that it will matter in this right leaning area of my universe but what the hell.

He definitely had the most comprehensive plan that he articulated well. Poilievre sounded like a stump speech repeating the same talking points without actually being engaged in the debate, endless and throwing out his slogans at every chance. It was funny seeing Singh chirp at him and call him out for making strawman arguments.Watched the whole debate and top points go to Carney for decorum.

Six vs 200 000 homes built - even Carney chimed in with the facts. Not sure what jobs PP thinks he's bringing home, but anything to repeat a meaningless slogan I guess.
That was noticeable but thinking it's because his background is more in boardrooms where there is more professionalism and people don't talk over each other. It's civility and mutual respect.Watched the whole debate and top points go to Carney for decorum.
Locally, the conservative candidate Andrew Lawton hasn't shown his face in a single townhall meet and greet or debate. We'll see if PP shows up in his own riding for any debate or if he even retains his seat.

Lanny McDonald readies to bid farewell to Hockey Hall of Fame
Beloved former NHL player’s term as chairman of the board at the HHOF is coming to an end

I grew up playing hockey, and was fortunate enough as a kid to attend the local summer hockey school two years in a row, where he was involved in coaching young kids. Great guy, always giving back to the community and organizations he was a part of.

It would be truly spectacular is PP not only blew his 20+ point lead and loose the election but also looses his seat and hopefully disappears from Canadian politics. That would truly deserve it's own Canadian Heritage Moment to commemorate Canadians rejecting him

It's a good read, really drives home how conservatives have been working on all levels, from universities up to the international level with groups like IDU run by Harper to push their specific agenda despite the harms deregulation and de-taxation have caused in societies that have pursued them aggressively like the US.
I hope this election sends a clear signal that isn't the path Canadians want to go down, that we lean into the european/Nordic model where taxes are understood to be a good thing because govs are held accountable for how they're spent making sure they benefit both the economy and citizens. Not the singular focus on building the economy and assuming quality of.life.will inevitably increase as companies like Amazon have disproven.
