Tonight the Boston Bruins are playing the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo.

Two American teams.

Buffalo always has someone sing both National Anthems before their games.

When the microphone cut out the crowd took over.

This is how our American friends treat us. With respect.

This is what being classy looks like. Canadians can learn something.

Hot take: prompt engineering is BS

I just talk to Claude as if it's a human and it works great.

The idea that among 1 trillion parameters, Joe Nobody has figured out the optimal input X to get outcome Y is laughable.

Just talk to the damn thing bro.

Here's how this is going to go. Defenders will tell you not to worry because this stream is for bringing in ex-British/Aussie armed forces, but immigration bureaucrats will be ordered to accept applicants from the world because restricting selection by country is discrimination.

[Keith Wilson @ikwilson]

Canada is simply too large, too culturally diverse, and too economically fragmented to be governed as a single, coherent federation. The provinces have distinct—and often conflicting—economic realities and political aspirations. Trying to meet all of them from Ottawa has made the country effectively ungovernable in a way that is fair to all regions.

That’s why watching the CPC continually underperform is so frustrating. And frankly, this isn’t really Pierre Poilievre’s fault. He’s trapped by the structure of the country itself. For example, he may want to forcefully call for the resignation of cabinet ministers who unlawfully invoked the Emergencies Act against the Convoy protesters, but doing so risks alienating voters in Ontario and the East that he needs to form government.

The recent announcement that the CPC leader will not seek re-election in an Alberta riding, and will instead return east, is just another example of this reality. Regional interests are constantly subordinated to electoral math, and western priorities are treated as expendable.

Albertans are confronting the obvious: Canada, as a unified confederation, is a failed experiment.

Provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan would be far better served as independent countries, able to govern themselves according to their own economic interests, values, culture, and democratic will. #AlbertaIndependence

I live in a border town, I've crossed the bridge 5-6 times in the past year.

The U.S. CBP were always courteous and even somewhat friendly.

The CBSA have been miserable, authoritarian, and condescending.

Let me explain...

Canadians will be waiting in line for a ration of government cheese, and they will still feel superior to Americans. It's ingrained into their psyche. Multiple generations of Canadians have had their entire national identity predicated upon being more liberal and therefore better than our Southern neighbors.

I know there's lots of people presently endeavoring to re-imagine or even romanticize our past and our subservience to the crown. That's quite a desperate stretch in my estimation.

Our Westminster Parliamentary system is archaic and iredeemably corrupted. Our institutions have been profoundly subverted to the extent that the people have NO real representation. Just sloganeering political actors sloppily regurgitating scripted rhetoric to provide the illusion of participatory governance.

We require generational political and economic reform. Not generational "investment" as Carney calls it. What the massive deficit ensures for certain is your children and grandchildren will be indentured to the perverse corporation that our once prosperous country has become.

Pray for the North.

[Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker @Martyupnorth]

I just got home. Three hours of driving gave me an opportunity to listen to various media outlets. Not a single one even mentioned yesterday's independence rally.

12,000 people gathered on the steps of our legislature, and not one MSM outlet thought that was newsworthy.

[Robert W Malone, MD @RWMaloneMD]

For those having trouble following along with all of the controversy within "public health" as practiced in USA, vaccines, and medical practice.

When you distill it all, it comes down to the rights of the individual versus the rights of the collective.

Modern "Public health" is all about maximizing the greatest happiness for the greatest number, and acts to advance the rights and interests of the collective. Traditional medical practice is focused on the rights and interests of the individual patient.

From this, you can appreciate why socialists and leftists are all in on the rights of "Public Health" to impose mandates, and those that support personal liberty are aligned with the medical rights of the individual and the importance of informed consent.

"Public health" in USA believes that the rights of the collective are more important than the rights of the individual.

The work of Karl Marx and colleagues supports the collective as pre-eminent. The US Constitution and associated founding documents disagree and emphasize the rights of the individual.

Collectivism vs individual rights. That is really what this is all about.

[Colin Tulloch @ColinTulloch]

Maybe “Health & safety, farmers rights, animal rights- all important - Let’s step back, run some tests/get to bottom of this. - Spending millions to make eg. out of a small farmer, putting others into positions of fear and subjugation is morally wrong and fiscally irresponsible.”

[Debbie Bloodclot. @bettybloodclot]

What exactly did everyone expect Poilievre to do about the ostriches?
Honestly?

[Colin Tulloch @ColinTulloch]

Cost is the only thing preventing proper balance of human safety, rights of farmers, and respect for animals themselves. - The fact that the state is willing to spend infinitely on enforcement means it’s more about asserting power and control than anything else. Concerning!

[Keean Bexte @TheRealKeean]

Test the birds for illness. What is the argument against this? Cost? Look at the fucking circus there already. The cull will cost millions.

TEST THE BIRDS AND LET THEM LIVE.

[Colin Tulloch @ColinTulloch]

Yep, just lose and whine about it later. Like they don’t care about the cause to begin with. Typical politicians. - Without leadership there will never be change.

[Joe Anidjar @PuckDaddy93]

Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives only talk about things once it's ok to talk about them. They're definitely not trail blazers. I've seen too many times where they needed to show up or speak up on certain issues but consistently drop the ball.

I repeat. At this point, there is no political solution. No one is coming to save you!

[MILO @Nero]

Was it you?

[Tokyo Rosie @tokyorosiecr]

Is there anything that prevents this from happening today? If the people wanted it, a combined Alberta and Saskatchewan would act as a formidable counterbalance to the power out east and could be the first step towards greater western autonomy.

[Gord ‘Human Truck Driver Respecter’ Magill @GordMagill]

On the night of the arrests of the infamous Coutts Four, 13 others were arrested + used by the government to further the narrative of a violent conspiracy.

What happened to the nine others?

My friend Roxanne has dug into their stories - come along with me in a thread 🧵

The lack of pushback from @PierrePoilievre and the Federal conservatives against the absolutely insane and illegal climate lockdowns being implemented in Atlantic Canada simply cannot be ignored.

The silence is deafening

Attention fellow Saskies!

Unified Grassroots is leading the charge so that we can get a separation referendum in Saskatchewan. They have an online petition which is basically to get names in preparation for an official petition to submit to the government. There's a timeline on signature collection for an official petition, which is why names with contact info are being collected beforehand. If you are in Saskatchewan and haven't signed yet, please do. There are only 4830 signatures so far and we need 125000. Let's not let Alberta leave without us. That would truly suck if we were left behind. Click this link to sign the petition:
