So Much Winning
Donald, you keep saying that you won this war. You keep saying that Iran desperately wants to negotiate a deal with the US. You keep saying that, but there’s no evidence of Iran, wanting a deal and the war being won.
You even had Pete Hegseth testifying this week that the American public supports the war. That is an outright lie. 60% of Americans do not support this war. That is a level of dissatisfaction similar to that of Vietnam and of Iraq.
Donald have you seen gas prices lately? In the US they’re averaging nearly $4.40 per gallon. That’s $1.40 higher than when you started this thing, this excursion, whatever you want to call it. Americans are not looking too favourably on you, right now, Donald. Nor is the rest of the world. The Asian countries are hurting big time with shortages. European countries are gonna be running out of jet fuel in a couple weeks.
Everything is starting to go higher Donald. Cost of transportation of products is going higher because of the diesel prices. Cost of plastics are going higher because plastics depend on oil as a raw material. Everything that requires transport will cost, is costing, more.
You remember when people started working from home back in the Covid days? Well that is going to start happening again very soon because people won’t be able to afford to drive to work, not with the current gas prices.
Donald, you have escaped political death more often than a cat with nine lives. In the past, you’ve always been able to control situations. This time you can’t. When you attacked Iran, you opened a Pandora’s box that you now cannot close no matter how hard you’re trying and the world hates you for it.
That’s all I have for today.

Dirty Tricks Campaign
Electors lists contain personal information of every voter, here in Alberta. That includes name, address and telephone number. These lists are restricted to registered parties, individual ridings lists to MLA’s representing that riding and individual riding lists to registered party candidates, given specific conditions, during an Alberta provincial election or by election.
It is anticipated that there will be a referendum held this fall, asking Albertans whether they want to leave Canada. The referendum will revolve around a question developed by Alberta separatists. There was a separate question developed by Forever Canada, a pro Canada group. Under previous legislation, Forever Canada had to get at least 20% of the Alberta electorate to sign a petition supporting the question. Furthermore, Forever Canada had only 90 days to get the required amount of signatures on the petition.
Forever Canada ended up getting 460,000 votes that were verified by Elections Albertan. The petition was forwarded to the Alberta legislature where it has languished in committee. A committee that has only been convened one time.
The separatists wanted their own question for the referendum. Danielle Smith changed the legislation to make it easier for the separatists. The separatist only needed signatures from only 10% of Alberta voters. They also had 120 days to get this where the Forever Canada group had only 90 days.
Elections Alberta, legitimately provided the voters list, for the entire province, to the Republican Party of Alberta, a pro separation provincial party. Earlier this week, the Centurion Project, a pro separatist third-party group , lposted the entire list online for everyone to see. They leaked confidential information of over 2.9 million Alberta voters. Through a court order, Elections Alberta forced the Centurion Project to take the list down. They eventually complied.
However, the damage has been done. There is a police investigation on the matter.
The rest of Canada needs to take notice. The separatist groups here are very vocal and have no qualms of distributing misinformation. On some of sites that I visit on Facebook and on Threads the misinformation, they spread is scandalous. Right now, approximately 27% of all Alberta voters support separation. That number has remained static over the past few months, despite the efforts of the separatist a
But this is not going away. Given that Danielle Smith herself is supportive of a sovereign Alberta, within Canada, whatever that means, separatists will try to gather more steam.
For years, the Alberta separatist movement has been considered a fringe movement. That is no longer the case.
As a patriotic Canadian, we need to start fighting back.
That’s all I have for today.

8647
Donald Trump’s retribution campaign continues. He has already, under, then Attorney General Pam Bondi, attempted to indict Jim Comey. That failed. But he is trying, again, under acting Attorney General, Todd, Blanche.
Comey is being indicted for inciting violence by showing the top image above. Seashells on the seashore. Two charges have been levied against Jim. Comey. Threatening the president, and. transmitting a threat over interstate commerce, that being the Internet.
The number, 86, is American slang for getting rid of call canceling, or throwing out. It started it off being used in the restaurant and bar industry in the 1930s. In military terms, it could be used as a term to kill. The number 47 stands for Donald Trump being the 47th president of the US.
This is going to go nowhere. Many Republicans have used the number 86 in various situations including Jesse Waters, Matt Gaetz and republican influencer, Scott Adams. In fact, Adams used the number 8646 with the 46th president being Joe Biden. No charges were levied on any of the above.
The second image above is from the Amazon website. Selling T-shirts with the number 8647. Will Amazon be charged for inciting violence? There is no chance of that.
The hypocrisy of Trump and his cronies never fail to amaze. At the end of the day, with all these attempts at deflection, the Iran war and the Epstein files are still out there.
That’s all I have for today.

Home To Roost
Looks like the king of conspiracy theories is getting a taste of his own medicine. After Minnesota democrat state senator Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her own home, Trump suggested that governor Tim Walz was involved in the assassination. After Paul Pelosi, the husband of then speaker. Nancy Pelosi was attacked and nearly beaten to death in their home, Trump suggested that it was an inside job involving a spurned gay lover.
Well, Trump has been on the receiving end lately. The assassination attempt, in 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, which resulted in apparent injury to Trump’s ear is coming under a suspicion by conspiracy theorists, including MAGA supporters. Theorists say that it was odd that the assassin was shot dead on scene and also that is odd that Trump does not talk about the incident at all. They say this, even though a bystander was killed. They are calling it a set up.
The image above is adding fuel to the fire that this assassination attempt at the press dinner was a set up.
Before he became president for the second time, Trump loved to spread conspiracy theories about the entire Epstein affair. Now that he is the centre of attention he is calling it’s fake news.
Donald, the lesson here is that you reap what you sow. Will you learn from this? Of course, not. You can’t help yourself can you?
That’s all I have for today.

One Year Later
It was a year ago today, that Mark Carney and his liberal party won an election, resulting in minority government. Only three months earlier, the liberals had been given up for dead. Pierre Poilievre and his conservative party had an over 20% lead. Then two things happened. Justin Trudeau, resigned and Donald Trump became president of the United States. A series of election blunders, by Poilievre, significant of which was not going after Donald Trump and his tariffs resulted in Carney’s victory
One year later, following a series of floor crossings by conservative members to the liberal party and three by election victories, Carney now now has his desired majority government
Mark Carney‘s honeymoon. period it’s still in place. With a near 60% approval rating, his approval rating, after one year in power, is higher than those of Stephen Harper and Brian Mulroney, after one year in power.
Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre’s approval ratings keep sinking to near 20%.
Mark Carney has higher approval ratings in areas such as foreign policy trade diversification and his handling of the Trump administration. Affordability in both housing and day-to-day living is still an issue for him as it is with all leaders of the western world
How long will Mark Carney‘s honeymoon last? That remains to be seen. If an election were to be held today, which it won’t, Mark Carney would probably win over 200 seats. Carney has two things going for him. Being captain Canada against Trump and the ineffective leadership of Poilievre. Carney has also gotten a number of provincial Premiers on his side, which also helps. So his honeymoon could last for a while yet.
That’s all I have for today.

Traitor?
Marilyn Gladu is the liberal representative of Lambton county which includes the city of Sarnia. Last April 28, she won this riding for the fourth time, with the first time being in 2015. However, she won all four times representing the conservative party. She crossed the floor to the liberals earlier this year.
As a conservative member of Parliament, she did the following.
She opposed the legalization of cannabis. She wanted the military to come in and break up the pipeline protests. She promoted uses of controversial medication for Covid such as, hydroxychloroquine. She voted against ending conversion therapy and she opposed abortion.
Ironically, she supported a petition, in January of this year, requiring that a by election be held if a person crossed the floor.
If you look at social media, supporters of Gladu and of the conservative party are red faced angry at her betrayal. Since her floor crossing, she has not been seen in Lambton County. She has refused media requests for interviews. She’s gone silent.
It is said that she would most likely not run in the next election as she will probably retire. So, in that sense, she would not suffer any consequences to her future political career, given the likelihood of retirement.
Lambton County is conservative. She might not have any future political consequences, but she might want to move out of the county once she retires.
As you all know, I am a supporter of the liberal party and I am a supporter of Mark Carney. But this smells.
That’s all I have for today.

Dinner Plans Changed
Donald, apparently I missed most of the excitement last night. I was watching Toy Story, with my grandkids, when I got a text, saying someone tried to kill the president. So, should I skip the rest of the movie or catch what’s happening on cable news? I compromised. I watched the rest of the movie and then got home pretty quick.
But enough about me. The dinner kind of didn’t go the way it was planned. I knew there would be fireworks, but not the kind that ended up happening. Fortunately, none of the attendees, including yourself, were hurt. So that is a very good thing. It really is Donald.
We could’ve had a designated survivor situation. You know the TV series that started Kiefer Sutherland. The one where the Capitol was bombed during a state of the union address. Everyone killed except for the designated survivor, who was not on location. Pretty well most of the cabinet, the house speaker, and a number of congressional members were at the dinner last night. All at one place and all at one time, ironically, at the same hotel where President Reagan was shot. What if last night’s attacker had succeeded in gunning down a number of the attendees. Fortunately, the Secret Service and the FBI along with the police were at the top of their game last night. They are receiving, justifiably, a lot of praise this morning
One thing, though I hear it is a rumor, is it true that both Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth, when they heard the shout of ‘shots fired’ raised their hands and yelled out ‘ tequila’?
Well, I’m glad it all came out well. But did you have to mention during the press conference you had afterwards that this never would have happened if your boondoggle of a ballroom had been built? Not a good look, Donald.
That’s all I have for today.

Suckers
“There’s a sucker born every minute.”
That phrase was attributed to showman P. T. Barnum. Actually, he was not the one who said that. It was, in reality, a banker, in the 1860s talking about the gullibility of people.
Donald Trump must love this phrase. He is now suing his own IRS department for $10 billion, due to leaks of his tax returns. It’s like a CEO suing his own company for personal gain. This is a guy who claims he can walk down fifth Avenue shoot somebody and get away with it.
Americans are hurting right now. There have been cutbacks in programs such as healthcare subsidies. But even with the cutbacks, the leader of his country, wants to take $10 billion from the economy for his personal gain
When Trump became president, for the second time, he must’ve felt that he struck gold. Furthermore, the US, with nothing in the financial cupboard is considering a massive bailout of US dollars, to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The excuse given is that the UAE has been hurt financially by the war with Iran. It is only a coincidence, sure it is, that Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner has accessed nearly $2 billion from the UAE for investment purposes. It is also, only coincidence, that the UAE is a large minority holder of Trump’s cryptocurrency scheme.
These are just two examples of Trump playing the system and exploiting the suckers, that being the American voter.

Seriously?!!!
Mother Nature, you do realize it is April 24, correct? What is this white stuff doing on the ground? Give your head a freaking shake. I know that I live in Northern Alberta, but enough is enough. I know that April showers bring May flowers, but with this crap are we gonna be getting May snow sculptures? Just up your game for heaven sake.

Entry Fee
Donald, are you freaking kidding? You want an entry fee before trade negotiation start with Canada? You have lost your freaking mind.
We have already made a few concessions and we have received nothing in return. And now you are setting up one sided rules before the game even begins.
Your commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, is saying it is outrageous that American liquor is not being placed on Canadian shelves. What world are you and he living in? After your tariffs on aluminum and steel, you have the gall to complain about Canadians, not putting your liquor on our shelves.
This is what our Prime Minister had to say about your tactics.
“It’s not a case of the United States dictates the terms. We have a negotiation, we can come to a mutually successful outcome, it will take some time and we will take some time.”
You are such a bully, Donald. You are not used to opponents fighting back. You see what happened to you over Greenland, you are seeing what’s happening to you with Iran and now you will see that we in Canada will do. What we won’t do, is roll over. Elbows up.
That’s all I have for today.
