Danielle Smith and Doug Ford are birds of a feather. Ford flip flops constantly because, like Smith, he is a political opportunist whose primary ambition is wielding state power to reward his allies and discipline his enemies.

Flip-flop Ford who said electing mayor Chow would be "a disaster" is now a supporter. Hates Trump after once "supporting him 100%". He's consistently inconsistent.

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.”

You would think the CPC would
have learned from the "Barbaric Cultural Practices" fiasco that the majority of Canadians do not accept Republican-style politics. We need the CPC to get its act together. A credible opposition that is focused on policy, not personality, is vital to our democracy.

The plan is not hidden. It is the most visible, most documented, most publicly communicated economic strategy in modern Canadian history. But it doesn’t register as “the plan” for the Conservatives — because it’s not a plan to go back.
That’s the plan. Major projects office. Port infrastructure. Energy corridors. Critical minerals. The Mackenzie Valley Highway. Labrador energy. High-speed rail. None of this is hidden. None of it is secret. All of it is happening.
Poilievre can’t see it.

Recent investigations have found YouTube channels staffed by American voice actors, stoking Albertan grievance politics. And with Trump frequently floating the idea of Canada as a 51st state, many Canadians worry that Alberta’s referendum will be a testing ground for unsavoury tactics.

An apt take. Provincial Premiers who backed Trump 100% did Canada no favours. The IDU also deserves blame for creating a hydra on the international level, that it cannot control.
