P.S. I can't think of a government institution who has put more effort into convincing the population of their impartiality than Elections Alberta.

Liberals have spent more than a decade making farming, specifically cattle ranching, impossibly expensive.

Carbon taxes, regulations, and endless paperwork have pushed Canadian beef to be among the most expensive in the world.

Now the liberal party solution is to import meat from countries that don’t have the same standards regarding food safety, animal welfare, or quality control.

They’re tying the Canadian beef industry’s hands behind our backs and bringing in someone to beat us senseless.

B.C. wants an annual royalty from Alberta oil moving through its province.

Meanwhile, roughly 900,000 containers from B.C.’s ports cross Alberta every year on their way east.

Canada cannot operate on the principle that B.C.’s geography has value—but Alberta’s does not.

Reciprocity is only fair. Alberta can do better.

Canadian Forest Service Gutted in the 1980s — And Never Rebuilt

Fact: The Canadian Forest Service was dramatically downsized from ~2,200 person-years in 1967-68 to ~1,191 by 1979, then further to ~1,050 by the mid-1980s — a roughly 50% cut. It never returned to that scale and now sits around 800–1,000 staff. Meanwhile, Canada’s forests (94% public) rely heavily on private tenures anyway

Broader forest sector employment tells a similar story: logging/forestry jobs dropped from a 2001 peak of ~68,000 down to ~37,000–42,000 in recent years (per StatCan data via TheDataInsider chart below). Other countries tried bolder reforms. New Zealand privatized most state plantations in the 1990s, delivering efficiency gains and investment for many — though not without job and access trade-offs. Practical, on-the-ground management options exist

Yet CBC rarely covers this history or explores real management reforms. Trudeau promised more water bombers to fight wildfires, but the media never held him accountable when delivery fell short. Instead, CBC’s climate activist agenda often bypasses pragmatic, on-the-ground solutions in favour of climate activist zealotry — framing every forest issue through emergency lenses while ignoring policy failures and workable alternatives that could actually strengthen resilience, jobs, and carbon storage

Why doesn’t CBC offer a balance of views and the historical perspective on these issues?

When mills close, communities suffer, and wildfires rage, Canadians deserve fuller reporting — not selective activist narratives @brodiefenlon

Chinese interference in the US election is blowing up, but as a Japanese, I'm not surprised at all. What actually shocks me is how shocked so many Americans seem to be.

Japan's politics, business world, and media have been almost perfectly controlled by China for years—they manipulate everything as they please. Only people active on X seem to truly understand how dangerous this is.

China is a nation that will use literally ANY means to dominate the world, even if it takes decades or a full century. Unlike the free world, they can patiently infiltrate and subvert other countries for generations.

If we don't fight back hard right now, the entire world will fall to communism. Americans—this is your Armageddon moment. For the sake of your children and the future of Earth, you must stand up and win. We're counting on you from Japan.

Please fight with everything you've got!

How can you watch this and not want cry, and then die for Christ?

Today in 1794, 15 Carmelite Nuns knelt before their Abbess and asked her permission to die for Jesus. They all went to the guillotine with songs of praise on their lips, while one stayed hidden to carry the Carmelites forward!

The French Revolution was unadulterated evil.

[JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦 @JayGenXer]

Let me get this straight.

For **SEVEN YEARS** Trudeau ignored every expert, every report, and every warning about clearing dead wood and properly managing our forests.

Jasper burned. Devastating loss. Homes gone. Lives upended.

And what did the Liberals do after that disaster?

They gave **BILLIONS** to Ukraine.

They gave **BILLIONS** more to foreign climate funds and global pet projects.

They did almost nothing meaningful here at home to prevent the next one.

Now Carney gets asked a simple question about wildfires and the smoke hitting the US… and what does he do?

He immediately pivots to blaming climate change and telling the Americans they need to do more.

Classic deflection.

He won’t admit the Liberals’ own failures on forest management. He won’t talk about the dead wood they left to burn. Instead he points the finger at Trump and the USA.

Same tired game they’ve played for over a decade.

Blame everyone else. Never take responsibility. Keep sending Canadian money out the door while our own country burns.

This isn’t leadership.

This is cowardice dressed up as global statesmanship.

No one should want an interprovincial toll war.

But Ottawa and B.C. cannot establish the principle that provinces may charge neighbouring provinces for access to national trade corridors—and expect Alberta alone to keep providing free passage.

Fair rules must apply equally in both directions. Alberta can do better.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

A 92-year-old North Carolina man got so bored 2 months into retirement that he applied to work at Chick-fil-A...

...his smile, kindness, and passion for Jesus became so contagious that when he got sick and missed 3 days of work, an ENTIRE TOWN began asking where he was.

His name is Gilbert Martin.

Everybody calls him "Mr. Gil."

Mr. Gil is 92 years old, and works at the Chick-fil-A on Oleander Drive in Wilmington, NC.

He spent decades working in the natural gas industry and when he retired, he greeted people at Sam's Club for 12 MORE years, until they eliminated his position.

Most people would call that a sign to finally rest, but not Mr. Gil!

Two months into retirement, he got bored... so he walked into Chick-fil-A and put in an application.

He was 86 years old at the time.

He's been there ever since.

Not one or two shifts a week either. Monday through Friday.

He says the full schedule gives him more chances to be there for people who need him.

His official job is dining host.
Clean tables.
Clean floors.

But Mr Gil doesn't see it that way... as he describes it, his real job is:

"I get a lot of people that are coming in, just been to the doctor, and got bad news... I'm able to be an encourager; the Lord gave me that."

A 92-year-old man who could be resting at home... chooses to stand in a dining room five days a week... so strangers on the worst day of their lives don't have to be alone.

And Wilmington noticed.

When Mr. Gil caught a cold and missed a couple of days, the owner said he was FLOODED with HUNDREDS of customers who were panicked about him.

Mr. Gil has zero plans to retire.

He says if you ever see him working, come say hi.

"I don't know what 92 is supposed to feel like, but I feel great. Serving others has always brought me joy because I believe that a smile and a kind word can make someone's day a little brighter.”

We need more of this in the world!!!!
