Clipped from an article…

Well, it didn’t take long for new Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to do a swan dive into the murky waters of delusion and political pandering.

Shortly after being sworn in Tuesday to replace Jason Kenney, Smith called those who refused vaccination against COVID-19 “the most discriminated against group that I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime.”

That she could say so demonstrated to everyone who has faced true discrimination either (a) profound ignorance of both history and current realities or (b) bottomless capacity for pandering to the misplaced sense of victimhood in her right-wing base.


I thought the bolded was hilarious because it’s so true. “Misplaced sense of victimhood” is a perfect summary of what these people are like at both ends of the extreme; right and left.

Good for her and very good to see the stand vs Ottawa coming. Just saying what Albertans/folks are actually thinking. We finally have our Ron Desantis in AB so hopefully she keeps her platform and doesn't flip flop like Kenney did with Trudeaus billion dollar bribes to implement vax passes and mandates that divided family and friends forever. But hey...the 5-6 champs in here sure love them some discrimination and segregation hey? And with the latest Pfizer dump/press release in the EU basically admitting the vaccines were useless and never did prevent transmission Smith's words are even more validating now than ever. I'm just waiting for the Ukraine flags and masks to pop up the the champs bios in here. Guess they aren't sick and tired of being lied to yet...
Get that 6th dose folks!!

Kanye West is acquiring Parler, the alternative social media platform favored by many conservatives.

The list of “leaders” is just chock full of talent:

Gavin McInnes
Richard Spencer
Donald Trump
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Tucker Carlson
Herschel Walker
Lauren Boebert

And now Kanye. What a bunch.

He writes like he’s a company man, more PR than journalism. But what do I know… I liked Tony Gallagher

MacIntyre is FA's company man.

Gallagher, Neil Macrae told it the way it is, they weren't afraid of ownership/management.

Nowadays if media doesn't tow the company line, they're job gets tough.

Just reading about this speech that Chrystia Freeland gave at Washington DC’s Brookings Institution. Kind of scary stuff. Being dubbed the "Freeland Doctrine” it essentially calls for the end of globalization. It lays out groundwork for a new global trade regime that blocks out Russia and China mostly.

Her proposal is very similar to one that was recently presented by U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, but Freeland’s proposal is much more aggressive.

What amazes me is that globalization was a key platform for progressive political parties. Now they are presenting the groundwork for a new Cold War. As I said, kind of scary stuff.

It's just the globalists at a state run Marxist propaganda department freaking out over the rantings of a Ukrainian nazi sympathizer.

Funny, just you watch all the alt-right nuts come out and criticize her. Yet she's doing exactly what all those nationalists have been screaming for.

Indeed. She sounds pretty hawkish and she's not wrong.

Back in the 90s, when I was heavily involved in unionism, we were trying to raise concerns about this, but weren't listened to.
