It's an approach which can mask economic and social decline for years while also preventing the innovation, entrepreneurship and ambition real countries encourage. Canada can join the mediocre middle beloved by Europe. Oh, Joy! 12/12

The old, Eurocentric, world order has made itself irrelevant by its pursuit of "net zero", endless immigration and de facto de-industrialization. Carney wants to hitch Canada's fate to this boat anchor. 3/

Building the regulatory state at a speed not seen in generations.
Canada's biggest attempt to regulate social media and AI services is here, complete with mandated age verification for millions, a powerful new regulator to oversee it all, and many unresolved questions. My post takes stock of Bill C-34's first week. michaelgeist.ca/2026/06/taki…

Or not. The heritage minister may find himself very offside on yet another online bill.

The sport of rodeo doesn’t get the respect it should have.
“The Government of Alberta announced the naming of the overpass as a tribute to Daines, who spent decades promoting rodeo, supporting Alberta's cattle industry and preserving the region's western heritage.” centralalbertaonline.com/art…

Excellent discussion
David @KnightLegg makes the case for an independent-minded Alberta on Buffalo Roundtable — but warned that the conservative movement's biggest threat isn't Ottawa, it's losing Calgary to the NDP. See the full discussion: rebelne.ws/444asgk

Tens of millions of Canadians will be required to age verify to use social media when the ban launches. My post on how the government plans to implement it without standards, privacy review, or an enforcement mechanism with potential exemptions years away. michaelgeist.ca/2026/06/the-…

Question. Why is it that multiple countries across the world are now pushing for a social media ban for children simultaneously? Let's be real. In reality, this is about censorship. This can't be a coincidence.

I’m stunned this story of a government telling a private citizen to stop expressing himself on a live political debate doesn’t even mention the unconstitutionality of the measure. cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/a…

The problem with the "Just vote for us and everything will be OK" argument from federal Conservatives, is that that is what Albertans have always done. The decision as to who rules in Ottawa, is not in the hands of Albertans.
Albertans don’t want apologies or compensation—they want the unfair treatment to stop. We don't need a different country. We need different policies in Ottawa. #UnitedCanada #StrongerAlberta #CdnPoli

Excellent contribution from Chief Pete
Is Canada's democracy getting weaker? I do a deep dive into citizenship, elections, political accountability, public service, and why voting matters — but is not the whole of democracy. Democracy is not something we inherit and passively enjoy. It is something each generation has to steward, defend, and renew. Watch here: youtu.be/zXhz1RnoKN0

Start here: you cannot keep under-16s off a platform without verifying everyone's age on it. Identifying who falls below the line means identifying who sits above it. A rule intended for a minority of users becomes an age-verification mandate for the entire population.

Just went to the local @Safeway. Two peaches for 6.79. Only 1 of 12 empty tills had a human cashier available. The auto till barked orders, last of which was to go to customer service for the luxury extra of—paying in cash. Kids, these are your summer jobs they’ve killed. WTF.
