#UCP are most influential union I know of. They spend millions on partisan ad campaigns, their exec enjoys fabulous perks on our dime, & they protect obvious gross misconduct like Bruce McAllister’s. #abed #ableg #cdnpoli
I’ll be honest, if Danielle Smith decides to truly go war with unions. I will be forced to give he my undying support forever.

Even as Russian economic collapse nears, those at the top are still getting richer during the war. According to Bloomberg, Russia's richest businessmen around Putin got $24B richer in 2025. That imbalance while the majority are cutting back on food will cause much unrest.

Russian "Z-bloggers" are very worried about Venezuela and oil prices: "This is not f***ing funny, you underdeveloped idiots. Soon it won’t even be profitable for us to extract oil. In a couple of months we’ll starve to death. This is checkmate for the entire economy of the
