Just watched Denial Smith demand that Steven Guilbeault be removed for his "imperious" attitude.
That's pretty rich coming from someone who literally brought in a "Sovereignty Act" and thought she had power to pardon criminals.

Maybe we can offer the homeless a sanctuary spot outside Cochrane.
Free place to squat and catered food delivered and prepared by volunteers.
Would the UCP look upon the homeless along the Hwy any different than this band of freeloaders?

The people who back charter schools are very frustrating.

I guess the mustard seed isn't getting enough "clients" so it's time to take income supports from the poor and give them to the shelters.
Did they just take available beds and say this transfer will show up as new housing.

I hope that all teens get training on how to spot the warning signs of an abusive partner/relationship.

This is the objective of the UCP/TBA. Their candidates are saying the quiet parts out loud.

Protections afforded under the human rights code are for those born that way or as the result of some disability.
People who do not get vaccinated are choosing not to follow public health directives.
Choice is not a protected human right.

The Conservative Party of Canada has become an extension of the Republican Party in the US.
