  The Alberta Next Panel, which Danielle Smith toured across the province last week, faced significant criticism upon its conclusion. The panel, initially presented as an opportunity to engage with Albertans and gather public input,  is  now perceived  by many as serving primarily to advance United Conservative Party interests rather than to  facilitate  genuine and constructive dialogue among provincial residents.     When facing a question about the Alberta teachers , a young Albertan had his mic cut off and then the moderator told him that he would be better  served by his parents turning him over  their knee.    The Corus of boos and jeers amongst the cro wd was loud and reverberated throughout the auditorium. As even those who were  vigorously  standing an d cheering the panel  at the start of the event discovered just what the Alberta Next Panels were truly about. It wasn't  about listening to Albertan...

Canadians continue to fracture themselves as the continued battle of Rhetoric Shaming and blaming replaces substantive change to drive the economy. Pierre Poilievre's recent remarks on grocery store taxes and related matters suggest that he may not have significantly adjusted his rhetorical approach since the election. He continues to direct criticism toward Mark Carney instead of collaborating with members from all parties to identify viable solutions for economic challenges, which reflect broader systemic issues. Over the past 36 years, both political parties and municipalities have contributed to these persistent financial problems. Marc Carney is no saint or saviour in this either. He is about to put 55,000 postal jobs at risk while continuing to accumulate large deficits. Even more layoffs are expected as each department cuts back by up to 15 to 20 percent, and several departments across various ministries are likely to be eliminated entirely. Carney himself seems to enjoy t...

  The complex realities of technological advancement have finally dealt a deathblow to the Canadian Post Office and the remainder of a once-flourishing service sector . The once job-filled service sector has been replaced by the very same automation that shut down the once massi ve assembly lines of companies like General Motors and Ford.   The Carney Government is currently considering changes that may impact up to 55,000 Canadian postal workers. The post office, whose unions were once influential, now faces challenges to its sustainability as a crown corporation. Door-to-door delivery service is expected to be discontinued , marking a significant shift from what has traditionally been a part of Canadians' everyday lives.   Also, there will be the frequency of delivery. Of residential services.   Like anything else affected by technology , the ways Canadians do business have changed, and the need for a labour component continues to push traditional service ...

 If anything, a good knock on the head proves that your perception is between where reality ends and illusion begins.  Six staples and a single stitch have once again proved that my head, however hard and steadfast, comes with a limited time warranty, much like a Midas muffler or Fram oil filter guarantee.     For the last seven days or more, I have lived a life outside my own mind as my brain begins the process of hea ling. The reality of the headache I was experiencing was far less amusing  than  that  of the systematic illusions that came with my brain doing a major U-turn .  With the use of the constitutional right to free speech draining faster than my bathwater in the States,  as well as in Canada, my head  actually was able to transport me to Neverland, where none of the goings on and other shenanigans  could penetrate or fill my skull with nonsensic al, beyond reasonable  and hateful rhetorical bias for the first time i...

  Carney's firm stance on maintaining the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) Program has attracted considerable scrutiny. Nonetheless, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre also bears some responsibility, given his previous role as Minister of Employment and Social Development in the Harper Government, where he oversaw policies regarding the use and management of temporary foreign workers. If Mr. Poilievre is now committed to ending the program, it is relevant to consider his past position when he was directly responsible for its administration. A significant factor, and likely the primary reason for Poilievre's stance, appears to be related to voting considerations and political strategy. Essentially, this approach is characterised by rhetoric rather than substantive action, even when there was an opportunity to address a programme that has had adverse effects on Canadian youth and on the millions of Temporary Foreign Workers admitted under temporary work permits. The unemplo...

  With everything back in place, Canadians will get their first hard look at the Carney Administration's plans for the upcoming year and into the future, where uncertainty and instability seem to reign over Carney and his Cabinet for the foreseeable future. Canadians will be watching closely at what transpires.  This morning, he emerged from his cabinet planning and priorities meeting, telling Canadians that the budget being brought down is one of austerity and growth. If this sounds like an oxymoron to you, it is! fear not; you have not awoken to a new reality where you will somehow get both. Carney, who is, by and large, a conservative by any other definition, is likely to do more harm than good, ultimately failing to achieve any significant recovery or major projects in the process. What he intends to do is to rob Peter to Pay Paul. His austerity program is going to make considerable cuts to the federal public service and programs. Having seen this play out throughout...
