The French government just gave Putin a magnificent gift: It will ignore the ICC's arrest warrant for Netanyahu because "Israel is not a signatory to the ICC." But neither is Russia! So, is Putin in the clear too? Or is this another case of different rules for "our" bastards?

Saying Ukrainians are fighting for our freedom is even dumber than saying US soldiers are fighting for our freedom. You've somehow come up with an even dumber lie.

Ukrainians are fighting and dying every day so that we can be safe and enjoy the right to say asinine, ignorant, and cowardly things on podcasts.

According to today's leftists I am "right-wing" (after a life of being called a Commie) because I'm opposed to NATO and the EU. Because I'm with China and Russia against US hegemony. Because I'm with the farmers and not globalised capital like Blackrock. Because I believe men…

The Biden admin is going out in style.

🚨 Antony Blinken just declared far-right candidate Edmundo González the President-Elect of Venezuela even though he lost the election in July and has fled to Spain. The US government wants to do Juan Guai-dope all over again!

This decision in essence turns Edmonton Police Services into a provincial police force. Should Edmonton property taxes be paying for such police force? #Yeg #ableg

.⁦@ABDanielleSmith⁩ has exhibited totalitarian tendencies, but she is just warming up. Assuming total control of AIMCo was just the beginning. Today, she is also assuming total control of policing in Edmonton. Homelessness is caused by provincial policies. #ableg #Yeg

We are outraged after an Israeli drone strike almost hit 5 of our Palestinian and international staff on their way home from Nasser hospital in Khan Younis. As always, the Israeli authorities were notified about our movements and the vehicle was identifiable with an MSF logo.…

If a court issued an arrest warrant for a mass murderer but didn't issue an arrest warrant for the person who gave him the gun and the ammunition and watched him do it and drove the getaway car and lied to the police to cover up his crime, that would be pretty silly, wouldn't it?

Day of Action Against Falsification of History and Glorification of War Criminals and Nazi Collaborators in Canada Nov. 22, 2024. About a dozen people came out to picket at the U of A campus with signs calling for local Nazi-linked monuments to be removed. #yeg

.@PierrePoilievre LIES AGAIN. Blatant lie. Trudeau condemned the riots and committed to having police fully investigate it. Check @JustinTrudeau post. #cdnpoli

Justin Trudeau refuses to condemn the anti-semitic riots in Montreal. He has time to dance & do selfies. But he’s too busy to condemn a violent Hamas takeover of our streets. Not worth the chaos.

Looks like the Government of Alberta is quietly doing a survey on MAiD. I’d like to ask you to fill out the survey and make sure your voice is heard. #MAiD #Alberta #yeg #ycc alberta.ca/medical-assist…

Edmonton Police Service said officers recovered a cattle prod, two replica guns and "nearly one dozen" knives. What kind of knives? Lots of homes have more than nearly 12 knives. Classic #copaganda. #Police edmonton.ctvnews.ca/fire-reveals-l…

The US has just vetoed another ceasefire resolution in the UN Security Council, and, in doing so, proves once again to the world that it is fully committed to the continuation of the genocide in Palestine. Even as we seek accountability for Israeli perpetrators, we must also seek…

Palestinian genocide victims are being rounded up, stripped, blindfolded, bound, loaded on trucks, and transported en masse to Zionist horror camps to be beaten, tortured, sexually assaulted and murdered - all for the ‘crime’ of having been born Palestinian in Palestine. Only the…

Every Storm Shadow missile Britain sends to Ukraine costs around £2 million each. We are told "hard choices" need to be made - like driving 100,000 pensioners into poverty through cutting winter fuel payments. But there is always millions of £££ available to escalate war. 🤔

Analysts often note that there is little "ethical" about Alberta's so-called "ethical oil." We might also ask how much of it is "Albertan" owned? And how much of the wealth generated from the oil sands goes to Albertans? 1/ #abpoli

People who say you get more conservative as you get older are just projecting their own personal shittiness onto everyone else. I get more radicalized by the year. It's not even about older people having more wealth to protect; I'm making more than ever before and I still want to…

One of the very few good things coming out of the relentless nightmare happening in Gaza is that at long last the western world is getting a clear look at Israel. The real Israel. Not the Israel they teach you about in school. Not “the only democracy in the middle east,” where…

An airstrike hit central Beirut a short while ago, near the UN headquarters and next to a Lebanese Civil Defence station, the strick came without prior warning. I went there to report
