I don't know what's worse, the fact that Canadians cheered behind their freedoms being taken away... AGAIN—or that the governments in charge thought Trump was too stupid and would believe the manufactured consent Canada was trying to create in doing this...

Anyway… what's the first thing you're buying!? 🥂

(UPDATE: Aug. 8 @ 8:15 am) - The BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) has provided an updated size estimate for the Bald Range wildfire Saturday morning. It's now an estimated 9,500 hectares as it continued to grow overnight, even in calmer conditions. Nowlin Kazimir, who was in town helping evacuate animals, reported around 2:30 am that the fire had moved into the community of Summerland.

Word has it that Carney made her delete this video. It would be a shame if it went viral...

The CEO of the only company that could build the pipeline to the Pacific lists the five things standing in the way.

All five of them are…. Mark Carney.

What are the odds? Lotto Max players are about to get screwed. Again!

The odds are getting dramatically worse, not better.

As if winning the Lotto Max jackpot isn’t hard enough, along comes news that achieving such a windfall is about to get that much harder – and more expensive.

And in the department of adding insult to injury, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) is falsely stating that the upcoming changes to Lotto Max next month are meant to BENEFIT players!

Here’s the skinny: an OLG media release trumpets: “BIG CHANGES COMING TO LOTTO MAX: Bigger Jackpots, More Prizes, and Better Overall Odds of Winning are Coming April 2026.”

Really?

No. Not really.

Conspicuously missing from the press release is that the odds are getting dramatically worse, not better. Under the current format, one must correctly pick 7 out of 50 numbers (it used to be 49). But the new format means that in order to win the top prize, one must correctly pick 7 out of 52 numbers. Adding two more numbers to the lottery effectively bumps the odds of winning the top prize from roughly 99 million to 1 to 134 million to 1.

And incidentally, the cost of a Lotto Max ticket is going up by 20%, going from $5 to $6. Is this due to the rising cost of paper and toner ink due to inflation? Who knows?

But only in the perverse universe of the OLG is a ticket that costs more yet delivers worse odds deemed to be a GOOD thing for players…

Notably, the national lottery games such as Lotto Max, Lotto 649 and the Daily Grand are operated by the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation (ILC). However, when it comes to media relations and marketing for ILC games, this is handled by the provincial lottery corporations.

And that’s problematic. Even though the OLG has an entire media relations team, calls and emails made by Rebel News are not even acknowledged.

So it was we paid a house call to the swank Toronto headquarters of the OLG. And this is where things became surreal. The security guard on duty said nobody was available to speak with us due to the power outage. Just one thing: all the lights were on and the elevators were operating. And OLG people were coming and going. The scene was reminiscent of the famous dead parrot sketch from Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

Par for the course, additional security was contacted to frogmarch Rebel News off the property.

We drove further south on Yonge Stret to the headquarters of the ILC. What a sight! It appeared that only one person was present at this palatial office. She promised somebody would get back to us. Shockers! Nobody did.

What is staggering about the OLG’s behavior is that it would appear to be business as usual when it comes to a shocking lack of transparency. We speak of the 2007 ombudsman’s report, “A Game of Trust”, which detailed the numerous fraudulent ways in which OLG operates, from turning a blind eye to insider wins to denying jackpots to rightful winners. Indeed, the OLG might very well be the most corrupt crown corporation in the history of crown corporations. And there would appear to be no political will to change course.

And the deceitful ways continue with the OLG now falsely claiming that a more expensive Lotto Max ticket featuring worse odds of winning the jackpot is somehow good news for players!

The crux of the matter is this: provincial governments in Canada have a monopoly when it comes to running lottery games. But why? Why aren’t private sector companies permitted to launch competing lottery products? Isn’t competition a good thing in a capitalist society?

And in the final analysis, all we’re asking for is some truth in advertising? Indeed, our message to the OLG is this: if you’re going to rape us, so be it. Just don’t claim that such a violation is an act of lovemaking.

SHOCKING

Under Carney, China has MORE "diplomats" in Canada by population than ANY country in the WORLD.

It's a MASSIVE operation to SPY on Canadians & attack our sovereignty.

Now Carney is ENABLING this interference by signing a "law enforcement" deal with Beijing.

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong just showed Chris Cuomo dramatic before-and-after brain scans of late-stage tumor patients who failed chemo, radiation, and surgery — achieving complete remission with ANKTIVA.

No chemo. No radiation. Tumors shrinking dramatically in months.

He says: “We got FDA approval to treat patients who failed everything… and they got complete remissions. It wasn’t a one-off anecdote.”

ANKTIVA (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept) is an IL-15 superagonist that activates and proliferates natural killer cells and CD8+ T-cells while avoiding regulatory T-cell suppression, turning the immune system into a targeted cancer-killing force.

Clip from this 43-second segment — a potential game-changer for late-stage cases.

Is ANKTIVA the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for… or do we need larger trials to confirm?

Your thoughts — drop them below.

Stay informed. Stay hopeful.

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.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tells the UCP convention that her province is instructing police not to enforce the federal gun confiscation program.
Police and prosecutors also told not to charge people defending their homes.
Doug Ford should do the same in Ontario. All legal.
