My report from Canada on the nation's mass revolt against the United States. Here's what it looks like on the ground when you’ve managed to incense the friendliest people on the planet

WOW!

True North/Juno News just got slapped down hard by NDP leader Naheed Nenshi.

(While Nenshi also called out Niccolaides as well)

While @PremierScottMoe celebrates 10 years of AG in Motion here is a list of actual crises that have been going on this decade:

1. #drought in S. Sask
2. #wildfires
3. #HealthCare crisis

#Sask is at a crisis point. Who will step up to do what is needed? #skpoli

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

For the second time in 30 days, Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre calls for the depopulation of Canada. One of the reasons the U.S. is able to threaten Canada with tariffs is that Canada has a relatively small population, which doesn’t consume enough domestically, thereby making access to the U.S. market necessary and allowing the U.S. to dictate how Canada should be run.

ALL EYES SHOULD NOW TURN TO THE BY-ELECTION: BATTLE RIVER-CROWFOOT. 🤌🏼

🟥 Dear Liberal supporters,

Please understand that for the Liberal Party, as a main political party and GOVERNING party, not running a candidate in a by-election would be akin to political dereliction.
Yes the Liberal candidate will likely lose in that conservative stronghold, but in politics, you never know what can happen unexpectedly!

Especially when running against a misadventure like Poilievre, who could well DO or say something disastrous in the run up to the by-election that could infuriate the good people of Battle River-Crowfoot, BIGLY. 🙂
And if the Liberals didn’t have a candidate to benefit from that, they might regret a lost opportunity...

So that may be ONE reason they are running someone there, but also – let’s face it - if Liberals decided NOT to run a candidate, or in some way appeared to officially endorse Bonnie Critchley, then that could actually HURT her chances because then the shameless CONs would twist it to say, “See – she’s a stooge for the Liberals.” 🙄

So it was it is. 🤷🏻‍♂️
There will be a Liberal Candidate in the by-election even if really, more on the sidelines...

Where does that leave us?

Well it appears that most Liberal supporters DO rightly realize that, while of course they would ordinarily support the liberal candidate in ANY contest, the independent candidate in this case, Bonnie Critchley, has by FAR the best chance of putting up a challenge against Pierre Poilievre, in this by-election.

And therefore the best strategy is for all Canadians who are disgusted by Poilievre’s antics and the UNDEMOCRATIC precedence he is setting, by creating this disastrous loophole - that any defeated candidate in an election can just make a crooked arrangement with a SUCCESSFUL candidate elsewhere, to step down, trigger a by-election, and replace them! 🤦🏻‍♂️

That corrupt, unethical nonsense is NOT how we do things in Canada. 🇨🇦

Meanwhile, Bonnie Critchley is a decent human, an actual resident of Battle River-Crowfoot and proud Albertan.
She is a military vet who served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 22 years.
She would be an EXCELLENT representative for the riding, and community she loves. ✅

So ... I will make EXACTLY the same appeal I made months ago for Bruce Fanjoy, except replace his name with hers 🙂:

🔳 Canada, I have a dream.

Bonnie Critchley is running against Pierre Poilievre in the riding of Battle River-Crowfoot, where although it is a Conservative STRONGHOLD, Pierre has some vulnerability as a “parachute candidate” who knows nothing, nor cares about that community....

My DREAM is that the eyes of the whole of Canada would turn to Battle River-Crowfoot, and donate (or otherwise support) to Bonnie's campaign so that she can give Pierre an EPIC run for his money!! 🎯
And possibly WIN!

The #Sask North on fire with beleaguered residents considering filing lawsuits ;

Air quality so bad that severe warnings are issued almost daily, and;

@PremierScottMoe decides to focus on forcing treatment on addicts. Way to punch down, Mr. Premier. #skpoli

Last week, the Canada Workers Benefit payment went out in #StJohnsEast, putting more money in the pockets of hard-working Canadians and their families.

Every year, that means up to:
👉 $2,739 for families
👉 $1,590 for single workers

Want a more inclusive democracy in #Sask ?

It starts with political finance reform. Eliminate these donations:

Secret numbered and non-Sask based Corps (image 1)
Unlimited (image 2)
"Anonymous" (image 3-4)

Time for a complete overhaul, right @ElectionsSask ?

@JeffWaltersSask @PremierScottMoe Don't forget the 61m initial $$ shot. Where did that go? The urgent care centre that is now floundering?

[Jeff Walters 🇨🇦 @JeffWaltersSask]

In 2023 the #Canada gov and @PremierScottMoe struck a #healthcare deal for $111m in extra funding for 10 years (image 1). But, by 2025, #Sask is actually cutting health care spending (image 2) resulting in ER closures (image 3).

Mr. Premier, where is the $$ going? #skpoli
