Oh, Bruce. Premier Smith’s own chief of staff wants to talk about why First Nations communities face addiction, poverty, and kids in care — without once mentioning residential schools, stolen land, broken treaties, or the billions extracted from Treaty territory that provincial and federal governments never shared with the people it belonged to.
You’re pointing at the wounds of 150 years of colonization like First Nations did this to themselves.
What’s wild — you’re advising the Premier. This is the thinking inside that office. The chiefs haven’t heard from Smith in months. Your government isn’t calling them. It isn’t partnering with them. It’s ignoring them, steamrolling their rights, and then acting shocked when they fight back.
Bold strategy — ignore them for months, then lecture them on priorities.

To recap: He’s been charged with 7 counts of rape. Then he lied on a visa application about it. That is a deserved inadmissibility decision.
1) Don’t be in a position to be charged with rape
2) Don’t lie about it and expect a country to grant you a visa
It’s really simple.
Mbappé’s girlfriend, Ester Expósito, recently said in an interview: “You can’t sit down and debate a Nazi. It just makes them think being a Nazi is a normal opinion.”
These are the idols the next generation actually needs.
These guys couldn't organize a line dance at a country bar, but sure, they can start a nation.

As the Alberta separation movement spreads misinformation about Indigenous rights, Dr. Bruce McIvor, lawyer and treaty expert, had a message for those hearing these claims:
“You can push back on that. The biggest lie being perpetuated is that First Nations surrendered their land. That’s a lie, lie, huge lie,” he said at the Blackfoot Confderacy Treaty Unity gathering in Calgary on Sunday.
Dr. Bruce McIvor is a partner at First Peoples Law LLP, where he represents Indigenous Peoples across Canada in both litigation and negotiation. He is widely regarded as one of Canada’s foremost practitioners of Aboriginal law.
Premier Smith cites an Elections Alberta deadline for keeping Water Not Coal from a 2026 referendum.
However, she seems poised to disregard an Elections Alberta deadline in order to redraw electoral boundaries for the next election.

The part no one wants to say out loud is that the whole “gays stole the rainbow” narrative is a coordinated campaign by fundamentalist Christian groups like Answers in Genesis. Finding creative ways to make anti-LGBTQ sentiments more mainstream is a huge part of their movement

Australian World Cup fans were caught chanting:
“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender.”
The tournament is barely underway and the chants are already in midseason form. 💀
Premier Danielle Smith says a group of Indigenous chiefs need to "check themselves," after they accused her of potential treasonous activity for calling a separatism vote.
