‘We’re going to have to get those girls making more babies.’ Inside the separatist pitch for a free Alberta

‘We’re going to have to get those girls making more babies.’ Inside the separatist pitch for a free Alberta

More babies, more guns, more passports, lower taxes, fewer immigrants and a smooth, painless process: That’s the vision Alberta’s separatists sold this winter as they barnstormed across the province gathering signatures for an independence referendum that may now be held as early as this October.

But while independence leaders have been making big, specific promises about how Alberta would leave confederation, and what a sovereign Alberta would look like, constitutional and other experts say the reality would be far more complicated.

I went home to the heartland of Alberta independence. Even after covering Donald Trump for 10 years, I was still terrified by what I found

EDMONTON, CALGARY, MOSSLEIGH, LETHBRIDGE—I had known Mitch Sylvestre — the architect of the Alberta independence movement — for less than five minutes when he first implied King Charles might have him killed.

It was late February. We were in a loud coffee shop near the Alberta Legislature. He kept mouthing the words.

“The King! The King!”

But he wouldn’t say them out loud.

Elon Musk claims ‘Canada is cooked.’ This is the actual problem with our country

Elon Musk claims ‘Canada is cooked.’ This is the actual problem with our country

I generally pay less attention to Elon Musk’s pronouncements than to my cat coughing up a hairball. At least I know the hairball is genuine and not regurgitated in a bid for attention. But Musk’s recent remarks, amplified by his culture-war fanboys, unintentionally provided an opportunity to focus on something important and overlooked.

“Canada is cooked,” Musk commented on a video posted on X, the platform where he likes to spew his racist and sexist nonsense. Was this comment in reference to some genuinely damaging event that had harmed Canadians? No, Musk was referring to NDP MP Leah Gazan’s description of people harmed by anti-Indigenous violence at a press conference in Ottawa. Gazan referred to “the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” while drawing attention to shortfalls in government funding to Indigenous women’s groups.

What a stupid twit.

Unhappy Conservatives shouldn’t defect to Carney’s Liberals — they should replace Poilievre

Unhappy Conservatives shouldn’t defect to Carney’s Liberals — they should replace Poilievre

It’s like déjà vu all over again.

Yet another Conservative MP, uncomfortable with the direction of the party or doubtful about its electoral prospects, has decamped to the Liberals. The fourth floor crossing from the CPC in six months — with more MPs reportedly considering the move.

Although the first three departures smacked of opportunism with a side of dissatisfaction at the culture of the party under Pierre Poilievre, the most recent defection speaks to a more concerning issue: the abandonment not only of the leader, but of conservative ideology itself.

Tory MPs denounce DEI and ‘Liberal racism’ during Jamil Jivani event

OTTAWA — On a Tuesday night, on the eighth floor of a building bordering Ottawa’s Parliamentary Precinct, Conservative MP Jamil Jivani stood before a small crowd to denounce “Liberal racism” — a form of “discrimination” he believes is eroding meritocracy, eradicating diversity of thought and tearing Canadians apart.

About 50 people filled the nondescript room, where bottles of Bud Light — a beer branded “woke” by the right in 2023 after partnering with a transgender influencer — were cheekily on offer for attendees.

When a Harper Conservative goes after Pierre Poilievre, you know there’s blood in the water

The uprising against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre may have officially begun.

Just three months before Poilievre’s leadership review in Calgary, Stephen Harper’s former spokesman is letting it be known that knives should be out.

Writing in the Star, Dimitri Soudas accuses Poilievre of “dismantling the principled, serious and credible Conservative party Harper worked so hard to lead and bring to power, one of substance, maturity and integrity.”

Carney’s media is working overtime this weekend.

I’m a former senior aide to Stephen Harper. Pierre Poilievre is dismantling the principled, trustworthy Conservative Party we tried to build

The Conservative Party that was shaped by the nation-building of Sir John A. Macdonald, the moral conviction of John Diefenbaker, the bold ambition of Brian Mulroney, and the steady discipline of Stephen Harper is far greater than any one man. It is a party rooted in history, principle, and purpose, a party built to serve the country, not the ego of a single leader. No individual, no matter how loud or popular, has the right to rewrite that legacy or distort it into something it was never meant to be.

Leader Pierre Poilievre is dismantling the principled, serious and credible Conservative Party Harper worked so hard to lead and bring to power, one of substance, maturity and integrity.

The Star is on an anti-Poilievre rag today.

Toronto Star: Evil Charlie Kirk Will Use His Death To Spread His Evil Political Views

Charlie Kirk’s killing won’t silence his right-wing political agenda. It may do just the opposite

On the night of Aug. 22, a young woman was fatally stabbed in the neck by a man aboard a light rail train in Charlotte, N.C.
Her name was Iryna Zarutska. She was a white Ukrainian refugee who was returning from her job at a pizzeria. According to her family, she was trying to escape war back home and build a better life.

Her suspected killer’s name is Decarlos Brown Jr. He is a 34-year-old black man with a long criminal record. According to his family, he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and believed there was “material” in his body that was responsible for the attack.

Is the author a pig among pigs? No. That would be a slander to the porcine nation. The Star writer is a moral retard.

Star reader?

For Pierre Poilievre, defending Freedom Convoy convicts is a political survival strategy

Anyone expecting a gentler, more moderate Pierre Poilievre to emerge following his electoral defeat can put to rest any speculation that the Conservative leader is planning a great reset.

Despite internal grumblings that Poilievre’s combative tone and coziness with far-right types has been bringing their party down, his Conservatives are back and picking fights with Crown prosecutors trying “Freedom Convoy” leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber.

The sweet silence of Pierre Poilievre. Enjoy it while you can … says disturbed man

Could be twins, at least on spiritual plain says Star

To more than a few Canadians, he was as irritating as a neighbour’s leaf-blower, or a yapping dog next door, or a crying baby across the aisle in a plane, or a pneumatic drill on local sidewalks.

His voice hit the ear like an assault, a whining, scolding, hyperpartisan blast of relentless grievance.

As such, the sound of silence of late from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is one of the summer’s blessings.

Having babies makes you Hitler says Star

To keep Canada off Trump’s authoritarian path, we must reject pronatalism and protect women’s rights

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s recent talking point commiserating with couples in their late 30s whose fertility window is closing and who can’t afford to start families touched a nerve. While it’s true that some couples are starting families later or having fewer children, and Canada’s fertility rate is declining, Poilievre’s rhetoric about women’s biological clocks running out is offensive. Liberals and the NDP rightly condemned it.

While he meant to sound sympathetic, Poilievre calling women’s wombs into service as a means towards political ends should be seen for what it is: Canada’s own brand of pronatalism — societal and institutional pressures on women (mostly from men) to have children. It mirrors U.S President Donald Trump, the self-professed “fertilization president” who uses pronatalism as a cover for rolling back reproductive rights and gender equality.

Perhaps it’s time Alberta does go it alone and says goodbye to Canada says Star

Alberta is giving me a headache.

The province stands alone in its incurable sense of grievance with the rest of the federation.

Not even a $34.2-billion expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline (TMX) built by Ottawa to get Alberta oil to non-U.S. markets for the first time has reduced Alberta’s bellyaching.

Poilievre’s agenda is radically different than Carney’s and it’s frightening says woman who thought Hugo Chavez was the Cat’s Pajamas

A deeply flawed argument has slipped into the national election conversation.

It goes like this: there isn’t much policy difference between front-runners Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre, so it really comes down to who can best handle Donald Trump.

True, handling the U.S. president is job one and polls show Carney more trusted on this file. But the first part of the argument — that the two men have similar policies — is fundamentally wrong and dangerously misleading.

It’s true what they say about progressives every accusation is a confession.

Are Canadians worried about another Donald Trump presidency? It depends which ones you ask

Canadians have had more than two weeks to let Donald Trump’s reelection sink in here, and a new poll from Abacus Data shows that most of us think having him back in the White House is overall bad news for this country.

But there are interesting divisions between Conservatives and supporters of other parties over just how bad Trump will be for Canada.

All the president’s men: Donald Trump’s support from the manosphere is clear, even if it’s confounding

What do a mixed martial arts promoter, social-media stars, an attempted assassin, and a golfing legend’s genitalia have in common?

They all played some role in securing Donald Trump’s re-election.

Trump’s ability to win over men — particularly younger white and Latino men — was key to his successful campaign.

With the votes now counted, the influence of the manosphere — and Trump’s ability to appeal to traditional concepts of masculinity — in sending Trump back to Washington is coming clear, even if it is confounding.
