CTV is not only pushing fake headlines claiming just thousands of signatures were collected for the separatists referendum, but unbelievably they told their viewers that only thousands of signatures were collected.
The amount collected was over 300,000 signatures.
That is a purposeful decision on their part to leave that amount out. They don’t want viewers to know the truth. Pretty shameful if you ask me.

Influencer Detained in Canada for Promoting Alberta Separation… Seriously?

OTTAWA — A Canadian influencer is at the center of national concern this week after making what officials are calling a “bold and deeply inconvenient post” about Alberta separation.

The influencer, @martyupnorth, suggested Alberta might be “better off on its own,” immediately triggering what insiders describe as a “please don’t let people look into this” level response from Ottawa.

Authorities have not confirmed a formal detention, but did confirm the situation is “being handled with appropriate seriousness.”

“We fully support free speech,” a government spokesperson said. “We just prefer it doesn’t include provinces leaving… or doing the math.”

The comment about “doing the math” comes as independent analyses, charts, and basic arithmetic continue to circulate online suggesting Alberta might actually be better off—a development federal officials were quick to clarify has “not been verified by approved experts, partner media, or our usual panel of concerned talking heads.”

“Canadians should rely on trusted sources,” the spokesperson added. “Not random graphs that make things look… misleading.”

The incident comes amid new efforts to regulate “harmful narratives” online—generally understood to include anything that could threaten national unity, economic stability, or uncomfortable conversations about where the money comes from.

Alberta, often referred to internally as “the part of the country that pays for things,” remains a particularly sensitive subject.

At press time, Canadians were reminded they are still free to express themselves online —

as long as it doesn’t start making sense.

Frank Zappa was decades ahead of his time. In 1981, he said this:

"Schools train people to be ignorant. They give you the equipment that you need to be a functional ignoramus."

"They prepare you to be a usable victim for a military industrial complex that needs manpower."

"As long as you're just smart enough to do a job, and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you're going to be alright."

"Schools mechanically and very specifically try and breed out any hint of creative thought in the kids that are coming up."

Harvard Report: Canada Dumbest Nation Alive

Cambridge, MA — In a bombshell 2026 Global Stupidity Index released Tuesday, Harvard researchers crowned Canada the undisputed Dumbest Nation Alive, edging out perennial runners-up like North Korea and California.

The report, titled “How One Polite Country Engineered Its Own Lobotomy,” cites a perfect storm of self-inflicted retardation that began the moment Justin Trudeau slithered into power in 2015 and somehow got worse under his banker cosplay successor, Mark Carney.
“Canada didn’t just fall — it sprinted face-first into the pavement while apologizing for the sidewalk’s colonial history,” said lead researcher Dr. Harlan McBraindead. “Every metric — economic suicide, cultural brain-melt, demographic replacement — screams ‘we hate ourselves and want to die.’”
The Liberals, those tireless champions of DEI quotas, gender fairy tales, and open-border masochism, have turned the once-functional country into a glittering dumpster fire. Mass immigration? Check — cities now resemble failed UN refugee camps where English is optional and taxpayer-funded housing is mandatory. Gender ideology? Check — biological males dominate women’s sports, prisons, and locker rooms while anyone noticing gets hauled before a human rights tribunal for “hate facts.” DEI hiring? Check — competence was quietly retired years ago in favor of checking every box except “qualified.”

Voters, described by the study as “the most obviously mentally challenged electorate on Earth,” keep re-electing these clowns with the glassy-eyed devotion of a cult. Why? Because they’ve swallowed the gospel that everything wrong is Donald Trump’s fault. Housing crisis? Trump. Inflation? Trump. Fentanyl zombies in every major city? Trump. The fact Canada has been in economic and cultural free-fall since 2015 is apparently irrelevant — facts are colonial, after all.

Enter Mark Carney, the Liberals’ shiny new messiah, elected on a pure platform of Trump Derangement Syndrome. He campaigned as the only adult who could “deal with Trump.” Result? Canada is now the only country on the planet without a new trade deal while even Mexico and the EU walked away with wins. Carney’s big move: more virtue-signaling speeches, more carbon taxes, and more apologies. The Harvard team called it “peak retarded diplomacy.”

At press time, Liberal strategists were reportedly drafting a new national slogan: “Sorry, eh? Please keep us stupid.”

In September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a History teacher at RobinsonHigh School in Little Rock, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks in her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks.
'Ms. Cothren, where are our desks?'
She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.'
They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 'No,' she said.
'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.'
And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. Kids called their parents to tell them what was happening and by early afternoon television news crews had started gathering at the school to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room.
The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the desk-less classroom. Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he or she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.'
At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniform, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned.
Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. They went halfway around the world, giving up their education and interrupting their careers and families so you could have the freedom you have. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.'
By the way, this is a true story. And this teacher was awarded the Veterans of Foreign Wars Teacher of the Year for the State of Arkansas in 2006. She is the daughter of a WWII POW.
Do you think this email is worth passing along so others won't forget either, that the freedoms we have in this great country were earned by our U.S. Veterans?... I did.
Let us always remember the men and women of our military and the rights they have won for us.

From the Facebook Group "Historic Saskatchewan", this is the story of one of the best April Fools pranks ever:

April 1st, 1975 - Radio announcers Wally Stambuck and Denny Carr of Saskatoon's CFQC 'Wal ‘n Den Show' pull off one of the best April Fool's jokes of all time when they make an 'official' news report that Canada will be switching to "Metric Time".

The April Fool's news report coincided with a Canadian Government announced, Nationwide ‘step’ in the changeover from the Imperial to the Metric system on April 1st, 1975.

Beginning in 1970 and spanning the decade in sequential steps, as part of an ongoing, multi year plan to convert Canada’s National system of measurement, April 1st of that year was the first day to officially change temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Broadcast weather reports gave temperatures in the ‘new system’ rather than the ‘old’ and many listeners did not take kindly to the change. Confusion and frustration reigned as people tried to understand the new unit of measure....and folks were unsure of what changes were to come next.

The timing was absolutely perfect and the 'Metric Time' changeover gag announcement (called ‘Larmencaller time’ by the duo of Stambuck/Carr and created by CFQC’s Jason Schoonover) was added on as a 'breaking news, this just in' addendum to the official morning news report.

The pair then proceeded to carry on the gag throughout their 6am-Noon programme by discussing how to ‘convert’ clocks/watches to 100 minute time and making regular time announcements in both ‘standard’ and ‘Larmencaller’ throughout their morning broadcast.

The devilishly perfect part (among many), was that listeners typically only tuned in for a short time as part of their ‘morning routine’ before work, only catching a small segment of the show.

While there were those who -aware of Wall ‘n Den’s propensity for previous April Fools stunts-, ‘got the joke’ right away, many didn’t and few listeners stuck around for the entire 6 hour show to hear the ‘reveal’ at the 12 o’clock finale.

The result was people heard a snippet, believed it to be true and began talking about it with others. Some were even motivated into action….

The prank then took on a life of its own and went far, FAR beyond Stambuck, Carr and the show’s Producers imagination, quickly spreading like wildfire.

As recounted by StarPhoenix columnist Paul Jackson - "The odd couple were so convincing, folks started turning in their watches and alarm clocks at bewildered jewellers around town to have them replaced." It was reported that Saskatoon City Hall got inundated with calls regarding people refusing to pay a tax increase to 'change the clock tower to Metric' as well as people phoning into Canada Revenue offices asking how 'Metric Time' would affect hourly wages.

The gag even spread to Ottawa as confused and irate people all over the broadcast area began calling elected officials and Members of Parliament to complain.

Parliament was in Session that day, and as further recounted by Paul Jackson - "A Member of Parliament, hearing the show and receiving angry phone calls, fearing Pierre Elliott Trudeau really had gone too far this time, raised the issue in the House of Commons.”

The 'Wal ‘n Den 'Larmencaller Time' stunt was so completely well played and perfectly timed that it made the news across Canada as well as internationally and is regarded as among the most masterful April Fools jokes of all time.

Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients to operate on.

The first says, “I like accountants on my operating table. When you open them up, everything inside is numbered.”

The second replies, “Yeah, but you should try electricians. Everything inside them is colour-coded.”

The third says, “No, librarians are the best. Everything inside them is in alphabetical order.”

The fourth chimes in, “I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end and when the job takes longer than you said it would.”

The fifth surgeon shuts them all up: “You’re all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There’s no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine. There are only two moving parts—the mouth and the asshole—and they’re interchangeable.”

In 1974, in a gallery in Naples, Italy, performance artist Marina Abramović did something no one was prepared for. She stood completely still. Silent. Motionless. Beside her, on a table, were 72 objects. Some were harmless—a rose, perfume, bread. Others were dangerous—scissors, chains, a scalpel… and a loaded gun. A sign read:

“You may use any object on me. I will not resist. I take full responsibility.”

For six hours, she became an object. At first, the crowd was gentle. Someone placed a flower in her hand. Someone kissed her cheek. Then something changed. Her clothes were cut. Her skin was scratched by thorns. Blood appeared. People stopped seeing her as a human being. One person cut her neck just to watch the blood flow. Another took the gun, placed it in her hand, and pointed it at her own head. Others intervened to prevent it from going any further. Marina did not react. She did not cry. She did not move. She allowed the crowd to decide how far it would go.

When the six hours ended, she stepped forward. Alive. Bleeding. Human again. And that was the moment the crowd collapsed. People ran away. Avoided her gaze. Unable to face what they had done.

The performance was called Rhythm 0. It was never repeated—not because it failed, but because it proved something terrifying: when responsibility is removed… when permission is given… ordinary people are capable of extraordinary cruelty. And all it takes is silence.

EXPLOSIVE:
Some families of victims in the Humboldt Broncos tragedy say the CBC has been censoring, misrepresenting, and selectively editing their interviews.

“We don’t trust the mainstream media anymore,” former NHL player Chris Joseph (@cjoseph23) says.

Joseph alleges that the CBC selectively edited their interviews, including those of other families, in ways that suppressed their true views and favored Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, who is fighting deportation to India after running a stop sign and crashing into the team bus, killing 16 people, including Joseph’s son.

“Karen Pauls twisted the narrative, and a lot of media has been like that,” Joseph alleges, addressing her recent coverage of convicted criminal Sidhu about his fight against deportation.
