Just leaving this here...

Avi Lewis: "I want Naheed Nenshi to be the next Premier of Alberta. We must get rid of Danielle Smith ... I'm utterly devoted to Naheed's victory, despite the fact that he's not a member of the federal party. We are still New Democrats in spirit, in soul and in fundamental values."

This is not the first time Avi has said the same thing. It is categorically untrue that Avi has ever cheered on the defeat of the Alberta NDP. He has always been a cheerleader for the party.

The video Shannon Phillips quote tweeted was cut and taken way out of context, and Phillips admitted to never seeing the context before ranting about it. Yet so many have taken her misinformed assumptions and repeated them as fact, including the leader of the Alberta NDP.

While Shannon Phillips did not call Avi an eco-terrorist, more recently deleted substacks from her show that she was just as critical of Avi's green deal and the Federal NDP as this "lunatic rightwinger". These sentiments have been held for a long time.

Avi on the other hand, was always the team player.

The social media discourse on national defence is about as useful as anything else that random Internet accounts weigh in on...

I've seen a recent uptick in the past month or so pushing the idea that any choice other than the F-35 to replace the CF-18s would be, at best a sentimental choice, and at worst a betrayal of our Baltic allies and a reckless choice putting our own airspace at risk.

I'm not sure.

I understand there's a legitimate argument that, at a minimum, we should procure enough F-35s to support #Canada 's troops deployed with our Latvian allies. The Russians are the kind of threat that it is intended to counter.

The Swedes aren't fools. They have an interest in countering the same military in a nearby part of the world.

Is the #Gripen E really a catastrophic choice? I don't think so, and neither does the Center for National Interest, a US defence think tank. This should be a proper debate, not an empty net goal.

For no particular reason, I'm reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, and for no particular reason this passage stood out: the "error of the Germans who opposed Nazism was their failure to unite against it."

Keep organizing. We greatly outnumber them in all countries where they're attempting to take power.

This applies to the American-owned Canadian media, too. It exists to serve wealth and power, not truth.

"I'd end with some noble call for the U.S. media industry to do better, but it's abundantly clear they don't want to."

Dene Tha’ First Nation secures court injunction, alleging lack of consultation on transfer of roads to Mackenzie County.

DTFN Chief Wilfred Hooka-Nooza: “Bistcho Lake is one of the last places where DTFN members can practice their way of life as promised by Treaty 8. Mackenzie County’s plan to transform the ice road to Bistcho Lake from primitive access in a largely abandoned oil and gas field into new public recreational access for outfitters and wealthy tourists to exploit Bistcho Lake, and others, will cause novel adverse affects to DTFN’s Treaty rights. The Government of Alberta had a duty to consult DTFN before this occurs, which, so far, it’s refusing to do.”

“On March 24, 2025, the Government of Alberta confirmed it transferred control over portions of the remote and rugged oil and gas winter access road to Bistcho Lake from various oil and gas companies to Mackenzie County without consulting DTFN.”
