50% more back in your pockets.

That’s what the new Alberta Energy Rebate will deliver compared to the fuel tax program.

Rather than relying on gas stations and retailers to pass savings along at the gas pump, we’re giving money directly to Albertans.

The average Alberta family will receive $200 this summer to help with rising costs.

There is nothing you could possibly ever say to take back what you did. It wasn’t just the laugh, we saw through you, we saw who you are. You can’t hide the face of evil once it’s revealed .
And it was truly terrifying.

@ThaisEscufon All French women - and women everywhere - need to speak out. Every woman in France faces possible prison for simply speaking the truth.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

Treaty Chiefs in Alberta just asked the RCMP to criminally investigate Premier Danielle Smith for treason.

Her crime? Calling a referendum.

A perfectly legal & democratic act under provincial jurisdiction.

Smith’s response was measured: “I’ve had my differences with the federal government, but I have never used language like that. This kind of overwrought language has no place in a democracy.”

She’s right.

You can disagree with the referendum.

You can campaign against it.

You can vote against it.

But you cannot criminalize it.

The Premier asked the chiefs to check themselves.

She’s 100% right.

This type of behaviour should not be accepted by the elected or unelected in Canada.

Jeremy Clarkson has never pretended to be anything other than exactly what he is

Brutally honest. No oil painting. A pot belly, a lifelong smoker, a drinker. Not exactly the modern alpha male or is he?

And somehow that is the whole point

I have watched him for most of my life
First as a motoring journalist who could make you want a car you would never own and never need
Then as something bigger
The loudest, funniest, most unfiltered mouthpiece the ordinary person ever had
A man who said the thing everyone was thinking while the rest of television tiptoed around it

From Top Gear he built something that should not have worked
Three middle aged men, The Stig, a track and a chemistry you cannot manufacture
James May the patient one
Richard Hammond the brave one
And Clarkson the force of nature dragging both of them into chaos and somehow back out again

When it all fell apart at the BBC he could have disappeared
The fracas was not his finest hour and he never pretended it was
He owned it, apologized and carried on
No reinvention, no groveling tour, no carefully managed comeback
He just kept being himself and let the work speak

The move to Amazon and The Grand Tour proved something I think a lot of people missed
The format was never the magic
The men were
You can take three friends out of a studio and drop them anywhere on earth and the loyalty between them travels with them

But it is Clarkson's Farm where the whole picture finally comes into focus

Here is a man with nothing left to prove walking into a field he barely understands and refusing to fake competence he does not have
He has run that farm at break even and then at an outright loss in full public view
No editing it into a success story
No pretending the numbers work when they do not
His farm manager hands him one brutal truth after another and he sits there and takes it

A whole season swallowed by drought even after he leaned into robotics and the most advanced farming money could buy
Technology was supposed to be the answer and the weather did not care
He showed that too
Most people would have cut it

And through all of it he has done something quietly remarkable
He has dragged the plight of the British farmer into the light
The paperwork, the council, the margins that vanish, the weather that ruins a year of work in a week
People who had never thought about where their food comes from suddenly cared because he made them care

And then there is the part nobody warned me about
Men who raise animals for meat and still love them
Who name them, worry about them, sit with them
Who treat them with respect and dignity right up to the moment they cannot keep them
And feel the full weight of sending them off

He does not hide that
He lets the camera sit in the discomfort of it
The grief of a man who knows the deal he made and still finds it hard

That is not weakness
That is honesty most people are far too afraid to show

We live in an age that rewards the polished, the curated, the carefully built personal brand
And here is a scruffy, swearing, chain smoking farmer who has done the opposite of all of it and won
He stayed exactly who he was while the world begged him to become a product

That is the whole secret
There is no act
There never was

And that is exactly why we keep watching

Praying for a full recovery mate, looking forward to another season of Clarkson's Farms!

@calvinrobinson I am not catholic but I don't think you need to leave the priesthood in order to do the right thing.

@Richy_GITC Well said. The challenges faced by UK farmers are not so different from North American and European farmers so the show resonates all around the world.

My English-speaking friends, I need you!

The justice system in my country, France, would rather send me to prison than deal with the immigrant men who are assaulting us.

Please help spread this video, the world needs to know what they’re doing to French patriots!

(@elonmusk ?)

[Thaïs d’Escufon @ThaisEscufon]

Europeans and American patriots!

Tomorrow, the courts of my country, France, may decide to send me to prison for daring to say on television that “the main danger to women in France is Black African and Arab immigrant men.”

Meanwhile, my own attacker, a Tunisian migrant, is still at large.

I need your help to generate media pressure and hope to be acquitted.

They cannot silence the truth!

Thank you for your support 💪🏻🇫🇷

Dear Lush (cc Chelmsford City Council),

As a woman who had half a breast removed last year due to cancer, I am writing to raise my concerns about your “Proud of My Stripes” window display.

I am also, on behalf of other women who have experienced breast cancer, respectfully requesting its removal.

Because mastectomies are not a fashion statement, an identity marker or something to be celebrated.

They are something women undergo because they are ill, because they are frightened, because they are trying to stay alive.

Around 59,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year. Many will undergo surgery - a mastectomy, lumpectomy or other procedure.

Others choose preventive mastectomies because they carry a high-risk BRCA gene mutation.

If a woman chooses to have her breasts removed to affirm a gender identity, that is her personal choice.

I honestly don’t know the number of women who have elective mastectomies for this reason.

What I do know is that it is a tiny number compared with those for whom breast surgery is medically necessary and not something to be celebrated.

I think I speak for many women who have experienced breast cancer - and for their families - when I say this:

Breast removal surgery is not something I regard as cute, playful or empowering.

Nor is it something I believe retailers should be celebrating.

For that reason, I am requesting that the display be removed and that @ChelmsCouncil apologise for promoting it on social media.

Yours sincerely,

Janet Murray

🚨THIS IS JUDGE LORD JUSTICE TIMOTHY HOLROYDE

This is the judge who REFUSED Lucy Connolly her appeal after she was convicted for a social media post.

Meanwhile this very same judge CUT the sentence of Labour's Lord Ahmed by THREE YEARS after he was convicted of child sex offences. His sentence was reduced to just two and a half years from five and half years.
