#BREAK: CBS NEWS has terminated Scott Pelley's contract.

Some, though not all, Alberta separatists think they can redefine the Canadian West based on policy grievances. They don't get to erase the founding history of the land.

Before modern oil booms or late-wave demographic shifts, Canada's pioneers, soldiers, and police officers bled to win and tame this massive frontier.

From Manitoba’s Red River to the shores of the Pacific, Western Canada's original builders established our laws and culture, not modern ideologues.

Western Canadians deserve more freedom from Ottawa, but we must never let political gatekeepers trade our history for a political manifesto.

Carney being surprisingly worse than Trudeau on Israel is another example of him importing EU politics into Canada.

Periodic reminder that I've tried to earn that "i" in my bio.

Nonpartisan and subsidy-free since '83, at all levels of government and for all occasions. Same for all @tnkrmedia productions.

[Dan Delmar @dandelmar]

Many reasons to oppose private media subsidies and boost the few who refuse them.

One more: Over $1M/day in federal funds are deployed for reporting/opinion. A quantifiable amount is sovereignist-coded.

Excluding these outlets would be more censorship. Impossible to reconcile.

[Dan Delmar @dandelmar]

@jengerson Astonishing cognitive dissonance to see entitled internet partisans believe they have the moral suasion to use an independent platform you both created from scratch to further anything, let alone sovereignism.

Not to mention their expectations of permanent subsidy gorging.

Alan Hustak on obits: “An obituary is a celebration of a life, warts and all... I don't know of anybody in the world who hasn't pissed somebody off, and to the degree that they may have pissed somebody off, that has to go into the obituary. We’re not all saints.”

[Dan Delmar @dandelmar]

💔 RIP, the Great Alan Hustak.

His memory, and his body of work in journalism which received accolades just days ago, is a blessing to us all.

[Beryl P. Wajsman,B.C.L.,LL.B.,KCR @berylwajsman]

News that weighs heavy on the heart…my great friend and journalistic icon Alan Hustak has passed…we exchanged our last texts just last week…the words of our favourite poet William Butler Yeats spring to mind…”Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy….” But how much joy he brought and what good times we shared…Ahhhh Alan, may the road always rise up to meet you and the heavenly winds be always at your back on your eternal journey….Below is a photo from just a few years back when we were at the head table of the St.Patrick’s Society Annual Lunch….

CRTC’s decision to triple the tax rate on leading streaming services is making a bad situation worse. CRTC is targeting and taxing U.S. companies, putting up new, discriminatory trade barriers, and worsening the investment climate for American businesses.

[Dan Delmar @dandelmar]

Q: Why 15%?
A: Because they got away with 5%, and the only consequence was a debilitated news/media ecosystem.

UCP is comparably radical in its sovereignism to the PQ and should be treated as such by federalists.

In the most tortured word salad in recent memory, @ABDanielleSmith proposes to hold a referendum on having a referendum. All of Quebec laughing very hard right now.

Immigrants are doing menial jobs for cash in professional offices where they should be seeing clients, patients most notably in healthcare fields.

[Dan Delmar @dandelmar]

Québec immigration stories forming a pattern:

-Sector has shortage of professionals
-Immigrants' credentials not recognized
-Unaffordably long road to accreditation
-Periphery work at best
-Fail French test
-Stuck in service jobs or cash gigs
-Limbo, precarious residency status

Le bilinguisme à Ottawa, c’est se faire offrir une canette de booze promo gratis près de la rue Sparks et être très confus par le slogan “Le Roi Peut”.
