Trump is a clear and present danger to Canadian national security, and his efforts go beyond some trade negotiation. He is plotting a soft invasion. Alberta is just the testing ground for the US, Russia, and Israel. Other obj. include dismantling the EU, forcing a Ukraine loss.
Trump discussing the takeover of Canada, January 2025, he states that his plan is not to take Canada by military force but attack them economically. The so called trade war he launched is meant to cripple the Canadian economy and trigger a US takeover of the country. #CdnPoli

Corruption is not politics, it is a crime. Learn the difference.
Pro tip: If a politician can’t criticize Israel or Russia, or call for them to follow international law, the country they’re refusing to talk about is 100% bribing and/or blackmailing them. You do not want that person in government; you want them under investigation or in prison.

BREAKING: Mayor Ken Sim's ABC majority voted not to reduce speed limits on major roads, despite 93% of all road fatalities in Vancouver happening on arterials. This was one of the most important Near-Term Actions in the entire plan, because roads will never be safe until people drive at safe speeds.
