A few Veterans on this day are getting on their Soapbox regarding a few issues that have nothing to do with Honouring the fallen and those who sacrificed.
Myopic Conspiracy and woe is me goofs.

There's a Grey Cup we should be talking about! But instead of MTL vs EDM, the CFL's so-called-Commissioner Stewart Johnston has made it all about his field shrinkage project. Just announce you're cancelling it and let us enjoy the game! Save the 55!

It's painful to watch, so-called-Commissioner Stewart Johnston's disregard for other levels of Canadian football. He's rammed his CFL rule changes through and is racing to cement them, no matter the cost & harm to Usports, CJFL, and high school & youth leagues across Canada. Sad!

What becomes unknown is the future of amateur footballβs use of the city-owned space. Football Canada said following the CFLβs announcement, it would not be adopting the new professional dimensions.
Meaning leagues like USports, Canadian Junior Football League, high school and minor football programs will continue to play on 110-yard-long fields with uprights at the front of the end zone.
Without a guaranteed schedule, the Rams, Thunder and every high school in Regina may have to pivot to an entire season played at Leibel Field. - @donovanjmaess

@LWillson_82 let's be honest your face says you're not buying what he's selling π

Please @CFL, reverse the decision for next season. No one wants this. Americanizing the game only makes you look like an NFL knockoff. Amateur Canadians programs don't have money to change their fields. Don't do it.

These won't be the last CFL regular-season games with the 55-yard line. But the last for a while. As reality sets in at team offices of the nuclear winter they've condemned their ticket sales to, the Commissioner will be brought to heel.
GOOD-BYE 55 - This week marks the final week in the CFL regular season which means it will also be the final time we see a couple unique features of the league, that will go away next year due to incoming rule changes.

Iβm glad to see Albertans vote overwhelmingly in favour of remaining in Canada.

There is still work to be done on improving how western Canada is treated by Ottawa. But Canada is worth that effort.Β Β

Saskatchewan will continue to work with Alberta to make our provinces stronger within a united Canada.

Iβm always being asked what stands out in this energy crisis compared to previous?
2 things
1) the loss of the βPetro Loonieβ is the biggest setback and adds an extra 38 cts/l for gas, 60 cpl for diesel
2) the hidden carbon tax
It adds 15-18 cts for gas & 19 cts for diesel

First off, CN Rail hasnβt been a Crown Corporation for 31 years & the CBC isnβt profitable despite getting $1.4 billion (75% of the gross revenue) from taxpayers so this idea is beyond dumb. Everything the gov touches losses money, hello Canada Postβ¦so why would they get into the steel business?
It's time for Canadian ownership again.
The Canadian government should buy Stelco as a Crown corporation. CN and CBC are 2 examples.
Stelco owner using layoffs to pressure Ottawa into a trade deal that will 'hurt Canadians,' union says thespec.com/news/hamilton-reβ¦

The last time Alberta increased its population faster than Quebec did, Justin Trudeau unilaterally amended the Constitution to ensure that Quebec wouldnβt lose any seats in the House of Commons.
And how does growing Albertaβs population address the fact that based on population the west should have 3 Supreme Court justices while Quebec should have 2, and yet we have 2 and they have 3.
And donβt get me started on the Senate.

Hello, @PeteHegseth. Iβm a former Army officer in 1st Cav who was stationed at Fort Hood. Thirteen murdered Americans deserve better than having their memory used to promote state-sponsored blood sport. Livestreaming the shooterβs execution is barbaric Taliban shit.
@RepMikeRogersAL you chair the House Armed Services Committee. Find your spine.

When a Canadian project of any magnitude is announced First Nations will immediately don their traditional dress and oppose the project and continue to oppose until their share of the revenue is deemed satisfactory. It's not about keepers of the land its always about the money!

Lane Johnson DIDNβT QUIT.
He did the hardest thing a football player can do.
He chose to live.
After 14 years, 5 Pro Bowls, and 2 Super Bowl Rings for the Eagles, he retired to focus on his family and his mental health.
He said he deeply wanted to gut it out for one more year with his brothers, but when he looked at his life he knew that his family needed him more.
That is not weakness.
That is strength.
Your Mental health should be a PRIORITY.
Always choose your family and your mental health over the approval of others.

First you create the regulatory regime that ensures there will never be a private sector business case to build anything.
Then you slow walk the entire process while claiming you are building faster than ever before.
Then you pay the MSM to regurgitate your ridiculous claims & bombard SM with similar ads & claims paying SM influencers to work the algorithm hard.
In the end, you maybe get a gov owned pipeline that took 3 x as long to build at 3 x the cost all because of the very same govβs regulations, taxes & restrictions that ensure the private sector investors wonβt touch it.
In other words they are recreating the NEP & no seems to notice or care!
π’οΈ Todayβs pipeline announcement. Nothingβs changed except the name, Pacific Link.
0β£ No changes to the timeline, tied to a $30B carbon capture project (Pathways), FN ownership, minimal private investment (Pembina 10%).
π₯ Key takeaway β the easy part is done. βThe real consultation process starts now.β
π The plan is approval by Sept 2027 & Final Investment Decision by April 2028. Three years after Carneyβs election. Judge him by these glacial metrics. Highlights:
1β£ Carney throws Trudeau under the bus, rebrand to Pacific Link.
2β£ Pathways carbon capture. No mention itβll cost taxpayers $24B & directly benefit Carney. Nor that by the time it's implemented, global emissions will have wiped out any CO2 reductions by a 100 fold. Besides CO2 not having any effect on climate.
3β£ FN gets a 10% stake minimum financed by taxpayer funded loans.
4β£ The conditions to be met over the next year are detailed which will cost $100M+ to produce. Carney gives no guarantees on meeting the timelines when asked. βExtensive, extensive consultations will take place.β
5β£ Carney deflects when asked why private investment isnβt paying for the pipeline, estimated to cost taxpayers $70B. βThe Canadian taxpayer is gonna make a lot of money.β That private capital isn't knocking at the door is telling. They have no confidence in the regulatory, taxation & approval environment.
