I subscribed to the Epoch Times
...and I am pleasantly surprised. I recommend it.
"A New Epoch
As a young doctoral candidate who had arrived from China in 1993 with little more than the clothes on my back, I was looking to make a life for myself in America.
The promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was new and exciting to me, a far cry from the totalitarian regime I had been living under.
Living in America is a life-changing experience. For the first time, I could speak without fearing repercussions from the state. I could take every breath knowing that the next one was a protected, inalienable right.
But though I now lived in a free nation, I was keenly aware that the communist regime still ruled my home country with an iron fist. This was illustrated for me in striking detail when, in 1999, Chinese communist leader Jiang Zemin began a crackdown of the spiritual practice Falun Gong.
As a Falun Gong practitioner myself, my life had been enhanced by its principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
And while I was free to practice my faith in America under the First Amendment, I watched as my friends and family in China lost their homes, their jobs, their freedom, and even their lives, simply for refusing to renounce their faith.
What's more, I watched as the media overseas began to parrot the Chinese Communist Party's disinformation about how we were dangerous, how we were insane, how we were a nuisance to society, and how we deserved to be eliminated.
I watched until I couldn't bear to just watch anymore.
I knew that one of the main reasons that this persecution was allowed to go on was because people didn't have access to the truth. Though I could try to convince people one by one, it would be much faster if I could reach the masses.
And with that, in 2000, The Epoch Times was born.
From the start, our founding principles have been truth and tradition—truth, so that injustice around the world can be exposed, and tradition, so that we can uphold the best of what makes us human.
As the year 2023 continues to unfold, I believe that we need both the light of truth and the guidance of tradition now more than ever.
With the CCP's disinformation once again blanketing the world, endangering the lives of millions with falsified reports about the CCP virus, I'm incredibly thankful that I can do more than just watch.
Today, we are a multinational media that spans 35 countries and 21 languages. We are prepared to debunk every lie with evidence and uncover those who pose a threat to the international community, wherever they may be. We strive to dig deep for the facts of the situation while leaving the opinions up to you.
We hope that our efforts can keep you and your loved ones safe in this crisis and beyond; we hope that you'll find our reporting honest, factual, and timely.
Because telling the truth was the entire reason we were founded, and it's the one thing we will always dedicate ourselves to before anything else.
Thank you for giving us a read-I hope your experience with us, no matter how long or short, is a pleasant one.
In Truth and Tradition,
John Tang

Berta Dad nailed it. Copied from FB.
Jeff Rath’s behaviour toward Danielle Smith is not a good look for this movement, and he does not speak for me.
When this started, I had respect for him. But as this has played out, it has become harder to ignore what appears to be a push for power inside the movement, not a sincere focus on Alberta independence.
Danielle Smith is a major reason Albertans were even able to collect signatures in the first place. Compared to any other premier in this country, I believe she has been the strongest one standing up for her province.
I will not forget her accomplishments.
She stood up for parental rights when others wanted schools keeping parents in the dark.
She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
She has strengthened Alberta Sheriffs and continued exploring ways to free Alberta from relying on the RCMP.
And that is only part of it.

WEF/UN/Globalists have proven they can’t be trusted now given the key to Canada. Are you awake yet Canadians??
REPORT: UN Climate Scientists Flip on the Climate Doomsday Narrative | Stand on Guard CLIP
WATCH Have they been lying about climate change this whole time? Are they cancelling climate change doomsday scenario for the data centers?
The UN climate scientists admit the high emission doomsday scenarios were overblown. UN climate change scientists flip: climate change not too bad anymore according to a new report. No doomsday on the horizon.
On this Stand on Guard clip, we question why the UN might be backtracking on previous dire predictions, suggesting a new agenda at play. We examine how this shift could be tied to the proliferation of data center construction and the increasing demands on our power grid from artificial intelligence. It's crucial to consider the broader implications for our communities and hold big tech accountable.
Thank you to @jimmy_dore for pointing out this...
Listening to Ganum today on the meeting that Premier Smith is having with Lukasek I am wondering why not just have his referendum on the vote in October? If enough say no to his question isn't it the same as a referendum that the other side wants? I for one want this to wake up the East and don't care how it happens. Another caller said she needs to call an provincial election in October and take the rest of questions off the ballot - this could be risky but I am leaning toward it as terrified that the NDP will get in again and right now Nemshi is their handicap IMHO.
