I have not posted the state of affairs here for a while because there's been no need. This group runs itself. There's no need for moderation or management of any sort.
In this day and age I find that amazing. We've accumulated a bit of money because some people are generously contributing and some are passing the word but I haven't distributed any since we did so the last time. There doesn't really seem to be a whole lot of income and so I've let it ride. I'm always open to suggestions but I still think that probably in spite of their flaws the Rebel News is one of the most deserving when we decide to distribute but there are so many others.
I personally contribute to some that I think are worthy and I trust that the rest of you do the same.
At any rate I'd like to thank you all for being here and being such interesting and polite people. I'd like to see more people contribute URLs but I suppose at some point this site could get to be too much to read.
Just thought I'd say thanks.
It is pathetic when you have 5 running for mayor and 24 for city Councillor and you can't come up with 8 you would vote for for Councillor. I pass by if they are a civil servant or don't know the responsibility of the different levels of government. This is Red Deer. I have been waffling on Mayor but have finally made up my mind. Two former city Councillors are HELL NO's and hope to see their asses in rear view mirror.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber got 12 months of house arrest today for “mischief.”
Not violence.
Not property damage.
Mischief.
Peaceful Canadians—criminalised for daring to speak out. The same justice system that drops charges for real crimes and lets violent offenders walk free spent three years trying to break two people who stood for freedom.
The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.
Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.
Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.
But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.
We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
Todd Dube was ...
