Why does the DOJ's Epstein list include Ashley Biden and Hunter Biden but not Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Barron Trump? All of them are mentioned in the files. The Trump / Pam Bondi cover-up continues.

The Ford government is on a path to underfund healthcare by $10.7 billion, says Ontario’s financial watchdog. While the finance minister is promising “no frontline cuts” & urging hospitals to find efficiencies, opposition critics predict hospitals will be forced to make layoffs

When the Auditor General released her report at the end of 2024, she was unable to reconcile over... ***$65 BILLION*** of healthcare funding. Going back at least five years. There's no evidence it was spent on healthcare at all. Where do you think it went?

Alberta populism has always presented itself as a politics of exclusion. Its central claim is that a productive province has been restrained by distant institutions and hostile interests, and that its failures are therefore best understood as injuries inflicted from outside. This narrative is emotionally satisfying. It is also false. Alberta has not been denied power within Canada. It has repeatedly refused to exercise it. The province’s political culture has been shaped not by deprivation, but by fortune. Oil arrived quickly, revenues followed, and success preceded institutional maturity. Instead of building durable capacity, Alberta learned to posture. Grievance substituted for strategy. Protest displaced execution. Over time, opposition became an identity rather than a phase. Governance was deferred indefinitely. This pattern repeated itself at every scale. Reform mobilized resentment without building a governing vehicle. Stephen Harper reached power with legitimacy and chose accommodation over confrontation. The structures Alberta populism claimed to despise were left intact, not because they were invincible, but because challenging them would have required a seriousness the movement never cultivated. When populism finally won, it evaporated. Separatism is not a break from this tradition. It is its logical conclusion. Independence is proposed not as a plan to govern better, but as a way to avoid governing altogether. It promises control while surrendering leverage, and sovereignty while increasing vulnerability. It is sincerity without intelligence, and protest without responsibility. What makes this failure more damning is that alternatives exist. Alberta could pursue industrial development, downstream manufacturing, and public capacity through crown corporations. It could convert extraction into industry and grievance into leverage. That it has chosen not to is the point. This essay is not an attack on Alberta. It is an indictment of a political culture that mistook noise for power and never learned to govern.

Uhm... no... Comparing Alberta to Norway is fiscal fiction. Norway built a $1.7T fund by taxing oil profits at ~78% and saving it all. Alberta chose the “Ralph Bucks” model: low taxes, low royalties, and spending the cash as fast as it came in. That wasn’t Ottawa; that was us./1

Alberta has the same population as Norway, but we are much poorer, despite having way more natural resources than Norway, because we are tax slaves for Ottawa.

How many taxpayer dollars did Ford waste on the Superbowl ad that boasted about building housing when his government has the worst housing record in Canada? He refuses to say. He's using our money to spread his lies. #ONpoli

"'The lack of funding isn’t accidental. It’s because if hospitals aren’t able to meet the needs of the people, the people are going to say we need something else,' @NickelBelt said pointing to the gov't’s decision to transfer surgeries to private clinics" cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/mo…

Hamilton Juravinski Cancer Centre Hospital halts launch of 20 cancer studies for patients last-ditch treatment due to staff shortages, as unions say, job postings have been removed over $112 million debt as FAO reports Ford, Bethlenfalvy and Jones siting on $26.6B in cash.

Deliberate underfunding of public healthcare by @fordnation & their extortion of legitimate federal funding for private for-profit gain is exactly what has led to decline of all healthcare in Ontario. The thieves are hiding in plain sight. Ontario is circling the drain.

Hamilton Juravinski Cancer Centre Hospital halts launch of 20 cancer studies for patients last-ditch treatment due to staff shortages at 1502 unfilled jobs as of Sept. 1. Unions say HHS job postings have been removed because of $112 million debt as Ford and Jones cutting $21B.

Doug Ford will accumulate more than half a trillion dollars in debt by 2029. You’d think with such extravagant spending, @fordnation might find some money for healthcare - but instead he’ll underfund it by nearly $11 billion in 2027/28. That needs to be fixed - now. #onpoli

OSAP used to help students graduate with opportunity. Now, Doug Ford is lowering the grant portion and increasing the loan portion — forcing students to graduate with even more debt. Ontario already underfunds post-secondary more than any other province. Now students are being told to make up the difference. #onpoli
