YOU GO @BenMulroney !!

This is exactly why trust in Canadian media is in the toilet.

A group of young men in Victoria, BC, harass women enjoying a sunset near Beacon Hill Park. One pulls a machete. People get seriously injured. Straight-up life-threatening violence.

CBC in BC? Crickets. Zero coverage.

But a white guy having a meltdown with racist comments at a Costco in Halifax? Wall-to-wall coverage.

The priorities are completely backwards. Media obsessed with narrative over public safety. They’ll bend over backwards to avoid certain stories while amplifying others that fit the script.

After years of this selective reporting, Canadians aren’t stupid. We see the pattern: downplay the violence, protect the narrative, and pretend everything is fine.

Real journalism would report the facts without fear or favour. Instead we get this.

Media like this cannot be trusted. Period.

Former conservative candidate for Bowmanville Ontario has been caught running an illegal halal farm on his property and instead of being charged he is claiming racism and Islamophobia.

There are reports of animals being killed and chained to walls and even a cow was set on fire. But still the savage is walking free.
Arrest this criminal now and deport his ass back to where it came from.

Laws and rules should apply to everyone no matter what skin color or religion you have.

THIS IS THE DAY ALBERTA'S FUTURE CHANGED.

February 13, 1947. A bitterly cold afternoon just south of Edmonton.

At 3:55 pm, Nathan Tanner, Alberta's Minister of Lands and Mines, turned a valve at a well called Leduc No. 1 while a rig hand held out a burning rag. The flare caught and roared hundreds of feet into the sky. Vern Hunter, the tool push who drilled the well, later said it "threw a mushroom cloud just like an atomic bomb."

After years of failed exploration and dry holes, Alberta had finally struck it. That one moment ended the doubt and lit the start of a new era, one of rapid growth and prosperity fed by the vast reserves of oil waiting beneath the province.

Within a generation, Alberta went from a hard-luck prairie economy to one of the most significant oil-producing places on earth. And it happened because Albertans kept drilling long after everyone else had given up.

That's the story under our feet: grit, patience, and the belief that this land had something worth fighting for. It still does. 💙

[Yukon Strong 🫎 @YukonStrong]

While I love my Alberta friends, today I’d like to send everyone a reminder:

Alberta isn’t the only region that wants out and needs access and control over resource development

For example, the Yukon literally has two of the largest proven natgas wells in North America, sitting there ready to go

But we can’t get any products to market because of tanker bans, elbows up bullshit, environmental nonsense, indigenous obstruction

…which forces our territory on federal welfare…

Ottawa loves it because they can send as many govt employees from ontario up here as it takes to vote for their pay check and hold the riding.

But One pipeline would pay for the Yukon’s future for 100 years.

No one in this country needs Ottawa.

The federal govt is a solution looking for a problem. All ottawa does is cost us money, freedom and our economic future.

independence shouldn’t be a left-wing or right wing movement. It should be about getting rid of waste, taxation and expanding freedom and prosperity for all.

I look at Alberta’s new pipeline

Its an enormous amount of red tape, additional cost and taxpayer burden to produce a product that will be non competitive price wise, while clean energy all over BC, Yukon and alberta is sitting there ready to go

Why can’t the Yukon determine its own future? Why can’t Alberta? What is the point of confederation if it’s one gigantic obstruction?

Why is anyone even remotely opposed to a pipeline under any circumstance?

Carney is trying to privatize the profits, subsidize the losses, then pick and choosing which provinces win and which provinces lose in the future

All while making sure his insider friends score billions in contracts on both sides of the argument.

It’s all so corrupt

I want out and I want out right now

[History Nerd @_HistoryNerd]

Major Frank Prentice was 18 years old when he dropped over a hundred feet off the stern of the Titanic into a sea full of ice.

He survived. This is what he saw.

Prentice worked in the Purser's office.

He was in his cabin at midships when the collision happened. He describes no chaos, no impact, nothing dramatic:

"It was just like jamming your brakes on my car. There was no great impact you couldn't feel. Just a bit of a shudder and she stopped."

That quiet did not last.

As the ship began to sink, Prentice moved through it.

He helped stewardesses into lifeboats who did not know where to go. He helped a woman named Mrs. Clark with her lifejacket. She did not want to leave her husband. He told her the husband would follow on later.

He would not.

On his way back from the lifeboats, Prentice heard the band. They were playing "Nearer My God to Thee" and singing.

He kept walking.

When the end came, he made his way to the stern. He describes it as quiet up there.

By the time he let go, the ship was nearly vertical. He had been hanging onto a board that read "Keep Clear of Propeller Blades."

At the very last moment, he let go and fell.

"I just missed the propellers on the way down."

The drop was over a hundred feet. The water was packed with ice and chunks of berg.

His watch stopped at 2:20 am.

He was not alone in the water at first. Then he was.

"I gave it a long thought when I was on my own and everybody else seemed to be dead round me."

He had two life jackets and a cushion.

He paddled toward a light he could still see from the rockets the bridge had fired. He reached a lifeboat and climbed in.

Mrs. Clark was already there. She wrapped a blanket around him and tried to keep him warm.

Her husband had drowned.

When asked who was responsible for the disaster, Prentice did not hesitate.

He blamed the bridge. He blamed Bruce Ismay, chairman of the shipping line, for pushing Captain Smith to maintain speed through waters they had been warned were full of ice.

"We had warnings that there was ice. We had it from ships and shore, and we went straight ahead as if there was nothing there in our way."

His verdict was simple:

That ship was thrown away.

Prentice was interviewed decades later.

Asked if the memory still haunted him, he said:

"When I'm alone tonight, I still think a lot about it. Can't help it, can you?"

🇬🇧 CONVENT AND ST PATRICK BURIAL SITE BURN DOWN IN DOWNPATRICK, MEDIA SAYS NOTHING

Yesterday the convent and the burial place of Saint Patrick himself in Downpatrick was reduced to ashes.

Locals say it was arson. The resting place of the patron saint of Ireland set on fire, and the legacy media has nothing to say. The politicians have nothing to say.

A Catholic site tied to one of the most important figures in the history of these islands burns, and you get silence.

That silence tells you everything.

[JayGen 𝕏 er🇨🇦 @JayGenXer]

This is what “diversity” looks like in Carney’s Canada.

A local guy in Mission, BC caught three men illegally dumping a couch in the woods. They lied, tried to drive off, then got forced to load it back up and take it to the actual dump.

These people aren’t interested in assimilating to civil society. They’re dirty. The sidewalk is their washroom. The beach is their toilet. Garbage gets dumped wherever they feel like it — just like back home.

We didn’t bring in new Canadians. We imported third-world habits and told them the rules don’t apply.

Citizens are left cleaning up after a government that refuses to enforce basic standards.

This is the result.

I did call Westjet Agents line to price the package; they said they couldn’t see business class available although they could see the aircraft is a Dreamliner.
Please fix this, and thank you for your responses.

@WestJet Len, I’m aware which aircraft have business class. My issue is that I can’t book business class flights in a vacation package on the Westjet Vacations site or through our agent portal. I can book only econo or premium but I know for a fact that it’s a Dreamliner.

@SonyaDouglas I wonder if there are things like this that men can do that women can’t? Just curious is all.
