It’s time for Prime Minister @MarkJCarney to join me and millions of our fellow Canadians in supporting the appointment of Don Cherry to the Order of Canada, one of our nation’s highest honours.
This shouldn’t even be up for debate. Don Cherry is a Canadian icon, a hockey legend and is loved by Albertans. He’s not just one of the greats, his word and opinion about our national sport is still treated as hockey gospel by millions of Canadians.
His contributions to Canadian sport and culture are undeniable, and the work he did to honour our nation’s veterans was an invaluable contribution to our country. He will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Canadians.
So, put the puck in the net and give Grapes the recognition he deserves.

Holy smokes….incredible finish at LA Marathon today by American Nathan Martin coming from behind to catch and beat Kenyan Michael Kamari at the finish line
This morning, Mark Carney said Canadian oil will remain ‘competitive’ because it is ‘low risk,’ ‘low cost,’ and ‘low carbon.’ Canadians deserve the truth: Venezuela’s return to global oil markets is a specific threat to Canadian oilsands petroleum in a way that Saudi oil, or other light crudes are not. And we can’t afford to delay any action that will protect our sovereignty and give us new customers to sell it to, especially a pipeline to the Pacific Coast.
Many U.S. refineries, especially on the Gulf Coast, are purpose-built to process heavy crude, a type of oil only found in Canada and Venezuela. They’ve invested billions in specialized equipment, including cokers, that only earn a return when fed heavy barrels. For years, many of these same refineries ran Venezuelan heavy crude until sanctions cut it off and they switched to Canadian oil.
If Venezuelan supply returns, Gulf Coast refineries like Marathon Petroleum in Garyville, Valero in Corpus Christi and Chevron in Pascagoula can easily switch between Venezuelan and Canadian oil without major retooling. In plain terms: for every barrel of Venezuelan oil processed by the U.S., one barrel of Canadian oil will be displaced, first on the Gulf Coast, and eventually in the Midwest, because they compete for the same limited, specialized refinery capacity.
In other words, we need other customers. Fast.
If we don’t get the federal government out of the way of a pipeline to the Pacific, we could suffer enormous losses of jobs, tax revenue and sovereignty. Canada must diversify beyond the U.S. as our only customer. The first and fastest way to do this is by approving and building a pipeline to the Pacific.
Canadians do not need more photo-ops and reassurance, they need the Prime Minister to get out of the way, grant a permit and let private investors and trades workers build a pipe to the Pacific. I am ready to work with the Prime Minister and any party at a moment’s notice to protect our workers and defend our sovereignty.
What’s the excuse gonna be now?!
Instead of giving the Bears their flowers, what’s gonna be the excuse?
The refs? The short week? Poor turf?
Let’s hear it!!
🐻⬇️ BITCH!!
No one wants someone at the table whose default position is no. And David Eby popping up on national television pretending he was “excluded” from pipeline talks, as if it were some kind of injustice, is pure theatre. He wasn’t excluded by mistake. He was excluded because everyone already knows exactly what he’ll say: no to pipelines, no to development, no to prosperity, no to anything that actually builds the economy of this province.
And the hypocrisy couldn’t be louder. He’s outraged at the idea of Canadian tankers accessing our own coastline, while U.S. tankers sail past Haida Gwaii every single week carrying Alaskan crude. Those are fine. Those don’t bother him. The only tankers David Eby seems to have a problem with are Canadian ones. You tell me how that makes sense to anybody living in this province.
And listen to his latest excuse:
“There’s no route, no proponent, no company, no money.”
Well no kidding, because governments like his have spent years sending the signal that no major project will ever survive B.C.’s political gauntlet. When you create an environment where investment dies on the table, you don’t get to point at the empty table and pretend it proves your point.
This isn’t about protecting British Columbia.
This is about protecting David Eby’s ideology.
It’s about a premier who refuses to admit that his government’s approach is costing families opportunity, costing the North investment, and costing this province billions in lost prosperity.
And here’s the simple truth:
British Columbia deserves a seat at the table, but with someone who actually wants to build. Someone who understands opportunity when it knocks. Someone who doesn’t run to microphones to scold the rest of Western Canada for daring to think big.
If David Eby doesn’t want to be part of the solution, fine.
But he doesn’t get to stand in the doorway forever, waving his arms and shouting “stop” while the rest of Western Canada pushes ahead. At some point, British Columbians are going to choose between a premier who blocks the future… and leaders prepared to build one.
