Doug Ford, Ontario’s Albatross
As David Polansky comments in The Hub, Doug Ford is the real-life version of Mayor Quimby in The Simpsons. Like Quimby, Ford maintains a folksy, populist style and is subject to controversies involving political patronage. He has done nothing to combat pro-Palestinian and Hamas riots, reminiscent of Quimby’s “Oh, dear God. Can’t this town go one day without a riot?” Ford’s construction and civic management record is abysmal. He dismisses his critics as radical yahoos. “What was striking about this outburst was not just a conservative leader rejecting a moderate conservative platform, but the expression of pique at seeing people actually take a political position at all.”
Meanwhile, the hapless premier is “bafflingly silent on critical issues like crime, safety, record youth unemployment, and out of control immigration in his province.” Its housing starts are the worst in the country. Ontario, Canada’s supposed “growth engine,” now has the economic productivity of lowly Mississippi, which will soon dip to Lower Slobbovia levels. Ford is just an endlessly doltish, lumbering surrender-monkey who has tanked Ontario’s economy. The backdrop to his entire tenure is that Ontario is on track to accumulate a debt of half a trillion dollars by 2027. “With twice the debt of California, Ontario is now the world’s most indebted sub-sovereign borrower,” wrote the Financial Post in 2015. Ten Trudeau/Carney years later, the crisis is far worse. It may well be terminal.https://pjmedia.com/david-solway-2/2-25/10/24/doug-ford-ontarios-albatros-n4945235

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.
