@rupasubramanya@Bratt_world Whenever I come across articles like this, that champion the crown's authority over the consent of the people, I think of John Locke. I think of his response to a crown that refuses to allow it's people to withhold such consent.
@jkenney To be clear, I'm not suggesting those attitudes are right or wrong; I'm saying they are understandable and justifiable given the context.
Canada can be saved - by never voting for authoritarians like Kenney again.
@jkenney@jkenney says he can’t understand his fellow Canadians' attitudes that he helped create by arresting pastors for holding church services and teens for playing hockey.
It was you who convinced so many that Canada was beyond saving. Don’t blame Trump; blame the Kenney UCP.
@VivekGRamaswamy@Bratt_world In my opinion Vivek is correct for both US and Canadian conservatives.
1. Focus on what matters - affordability.
2. Avoid the trap of playing identity politics.
This is the only way forward, and the only path to electoral victory.
@SamAntics14@TedBlades@westernstandard That's the rub - i don't know many in Alberta who were against transfer payments until a national campaign against our economy became mainstream.
It's not right to both oppose our ability to make money, and expect us to give you money.
@Martyupnorth_2 @RickBolen2 I get the distrust and even the anger towards journalists and news directors/producers.
But what about the camera operators, the sound and lighting technicians?
Many of them are just hardworking techs doing a job in a shrinking field.
I do have sympathy for them.
@AlbertaLeonidas There is no social contract between government and the people. Only between individuals.
It's this social contact that forms the state.
Any state that violates the social contact that formed it puts itself in a state of war against the people.
@rod_loyola@MarkJCarney@liberal_party It's amazing to me how we were told the carbon tax "put more money in the pockets of Canadians" and yet cancelling the carbon tax also "puts more money in your pocket"
Must be some kind of liberal logic I don't understand.
@DrJacobsRad So strange that a guy who said he admired China's "basic dictatorship" would take an action like this to decrease democracy and accountability.
Who could have predicted such an outcome?
@GGCanada please follow the will of the people. Our minority government has lost the confidence of the House.
Please recall parliament so they can vote #noconfidence and remove this failure of a government.
#BREAKING: Pierre Poilievre sends a letter to the Governor General asking her to recall Parliament IMMEDIATELY so that Jagmeet Singh can make good on his promise to force an election when Parliament reconvenes instead of waiting until January 27th.

@Emmanuel_Rach They mention visits from Santa in class, but only the concert is cancelled? It's almost like it's not about disturbing student routines, but it's instead an attack on the religious aspect of Christmas.
Don't want to celebrate Christ? Fine.
Don't take it away from those that do.
@Nana00018487212@WilliamsJanetz@nationalpost@liberal_party@JustinTrudeau You ask, "Is there any line [liberal] members can cross that becomes the final straw?"
Just ask Jody Wilson-Raybould.
The line liberal MPs aren't allowed to cross is questioning 'dear leader'.
Anything else goes it seems.
@liberal_party The liberal party doesn't want to fight for you. They want to take care of you as if you were a helpless child and they were your parent.
But you're not a helpless child. you are a strong Canadian who can, and ought to, take care of yourself.
Vote accordingly.

@AlbertaLeonidas While I can respect that; crosswalks should not be billboards for any ideology.
Check out the grassroots movements in Westlock and Barrhead AB.
Citizens have petitioned for bylaws insuring only the traditional stripe pattern.
Changing the world, one AB town at a time.

@RealJamesWoods I once worked on the video crew of a Kris Kristofferson concert in Edmonton, AB as camera switcher/director. His tour bus broke down in BC but rather than cancel, he paid a cabbie $1k to drive him. He loved his fans so much.
One of my favorite concerts ever.
RIP Kris.

@NoLore Hi Nora. I guess I'm curious how you can say the housing crisis was "by design" and also blame free markets. It seems to me that any design or control of the market implies that we don't actually have a free market, but rather a planned economy.
Thoughts?
