I know many have said it but it bears repeating.
Thomas Lukaszuk is full of shit.
The only reason he has suddenly decided his campaign is a campaign is that the courts are now looking at it.
How much foreign funding has he taken so far?
@RealTalkRJ@supriyadwivedi Regardless of why she was crying Ryan you and you're opinion is heartless. You expect Albertans to cry over refugees/ immigrants when people are having a hard time with costs of living. The people of Alberta shouldn't have to pay for them.
Do you all remember how Justin needed a crisis to borrow $600B+ in inflationary spending because of a "Crisis" during Covid?
Well Trump is handing Mark Carney the perfect opportunity for a 2nd crisis with tariffs.
Keep an eye out for $500B+ borrowed again by Liberals for a "Crisis".
I think this time though it's $1T. Not billion, trillion!
Here let me help explain the picture! It's a kitchen & the people are in the living room obviously you don't have enough people that want to be with you or in your kitchen/house🤦♀️

Kory Teneycke, enough.
There is a name for this pathetic behaviour of yours lately...
attention-seeking public humiliation politics.
And from a grown man who has spent years telling everyone else how professional politics works, it's painfully embarrassing to watch feom a so-called grown man.
You want to criticize Pierre Poilievre? Use your big-boy vocabulary and make an argument.
Calling him a “pussy” or an "asshole" in public while sitting around with Liberal strategists isn't analysis. It isn't courage, and it certainly isn't the sophisticated political insight you seem to think we're witnessing.
It's a pompous middle-aged man in leather pants with copious media attention performing for the cameras because apparently being watched has become confused with being important or relevant.
It's juvenile.
Worse, you know exactly what you're doing. You know how clips work. You know how headlines work. You know perfectly well that every cheap insult becomes ammunition against the party you supposedly want to improve.
So stop preening like you're bravely speaking truth to power.
Nobody elected you. Nobody appointed you guardian of conservatism. And having Scott Reid and David Herle nearby doesn't magically transform schoolyard behaviour into statesmanship.
If a young Conservative staffer behaved this way publicly, people like you would have them hauled into an office and told to smarten the hell up.
Consider yourself hauled in.
And Kory, perhaps ease up on mocking Pierre Poilievre for going to the gym while parading around in a reported $10,000 Gucci leather jacket, leather pants, soft paunchy belly and no discernable leg muscle.
Leather. Pants.
On a political strategist.
If Kory wants to spend ten grand dressing like black Twizzler licorice, that's between him, Gucci and whatever happened in the fitting-room mirror.
But that's not quite the position from which I'd be handing out unsolicited assessments of another man's masculinity. You showed up looking like Temu’s idea of an aging rock star’s second divorce, dressed for a Whitesnake reunion where even Whitesnake would have security remove you for excessive leather, and decided to talk smack about Pierre. How very pedantic and puerile.
You're old enough to know better, experienced enough to know exactly what you're doing, and apparently far too impressed with yourself to notice the spectacle. You should be embarrassed of yourself.
For a man who fancies himself a sophisticated political strategist, you're behaving like a caveman who learned to grunt louder in the mistaken belief volume equals validity.
The self-awareness shortage among performative acting pundits may actually be Canada's most pressing supply-chain problem.

Yet you told CTV that Poilievre being chosen by 15% of Canadians, while Conservative support was roughly twice that, “means” half of Conservative supporters don’t think he can beat Carney.

@edmontonjournal I watched his response for carrying his knife (kirpan) I don't want or need him to protect me! We need to have order in this country. This is not it.
@gilmcgowan Hey Gil! I bet you were the kid that was last picked in school. Most Canadians will stand with the biggest power in the world US when shit goes down as you run & hide as usual.
