It’s time for Prime Minister @MarkJCarney to join me and millions of our fellow Canadians in supporting the appointment of Don Cherry to the Order of Canada, one of our nation’s highest honours.
This shouldn’t even be up for debate. Don Cherry is a Canadian icon, a hockey legend and is loved by Albertans. He’s not just one of the greats, his word and opinion about our national sport is still treated as hockey gospel by millions of Canadians.
His contributions to Canadian sport and culture are undeniable, and the work he did to honour our nation’s veterans was an invaluable contribution to our country. He will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Canadians.
So, put the puck in the net and give Grapes the recognition he deserves.

At this moment, based on the current generation and installed capacities, Alberta would need all of the following additional resources to fully replace all non-renewable electricity generation:
3530 - Wind Turbines
plus
4534757 - Solar Panels
plus
5.7 - Site C Dams
This is:
2 times more wind generation
1 times more solar generation
7 times more hydro generation
1/ Tamara Lich and Chris Barber SENTENCING 🧵
The MOST comprehensive coverage ANYWHERE. Follow along for my courtroom reporting live from Ottawa.
It's finally here. Today Tamara and Chris will learn their fate.
The government has turned them into boogeymen and blamed them for the "ills" of the Freedom Convoy. I have sat through the bulk of this trial and the extraordinary unimpressive evidence the crown has presented.
Social media posts saying hold the line. Social media posts saying be peaceful and Ioving. Social media posts BEGGING for communication with the government stepping on us all falling in deaf ears. And a couple posts expressing frustration with the government's boot.
The trucker protest saved lives. That's a fact.
And for that the government has said Chris and Tamara should spend 8 and 7 years in prison respectively.
Tamara beat all of her charges except 1 - mischief.
Chris Barber beat almost all of his charges except mischief and counselling disobey a court order.
So they should go to jail for the better part of a decade? While other, often violent protesters on the left walk free or have their charges dropped?
It's wrong. It's unfair. It's unjust.
The administration of justice requires a fair and fitting sentence for the crime. Even 6 months in jail would be unfit to the crime and the facts of the case. Parity. Impact. Circumstances.
These are non-violent offences and first time offenders with impeccable family and professional lives. They are extraordinarily pro social and probably have some of the greatest public support for any convicted person in Canada in many, many years.
Distinguished defence attorney Lawrence Greenspon said it himself. It's very, very rare for him to be able to talk about the POSITIVE IMPACT of a client's crime. Yet alone so extensively. The letters of support flooded in telling him just how much positive change the trucker protest made in their lives. Some said it saved them.
And it's all true. In my humble opinion, the life-saving impact of the trucker protest vastly outweighs any negative impact of horns.
Horns which Tamara never honked. Horns which they're not responsible for. Other people's actions.
But the crown said no, they stood SHOULDER TO SHOULDER with them. They're a principal and a party, and an aider and abettor to... Trucks parked on the street and horns.
So 7+ years in jail?
This is a dark day for our country. Pray for our country. Pray for Chris and Tamara.

Ill say it again for those in the back
you earn $100k, so you pay 35% tax on every new dollar
then they take $4,000 for CPP "pension"
but only give you a 14% tax credit (but you paid 35% tax)
THEN YOU PAY INCOME TAX AGAIN FULL SHOT WHEN YOU RETIRE. Its income taxed twice.
At this moment, 29-Jul-2025 @ 22:59, 79.1% of Alberta's electricity is being produced by fossil fuels. Wind is at 29.8% of capacity and producing 16.4% of total generation, while solar is at 0% of capacity and producing 0% of total generation. At the same time, we are exporting 231 MW, which is 2.2% of the total generation of 10299 MW.
-Blackouts will still exist,
(heavily in Canadian markets.)
-The App interface & functionality is awful compared to other platforms.
-there’s essentially only 2 interesting personalities on Sportsnet (Friedman and Bieksa)
I have 0 idea how they can justify this price jump
Canada has the 7th largest unmined gold reserves, 4th largest oil reserves, 3rd largest forest system, 3rd largest freshwater supply, largest potash reserves, and 6th largest lithium reserves.
A resource superpower with the 2nd largest landmass and a population similar to California, there's no reason 25% of Canadians live below the poverty line or why our governments are trillions in debt.
Unless it's by design, and we've been hung out to dry by politicians, the central bank, and the monarchy. Canadians should demand better, but we don't. We may be the most propagandized people on the planet.
