Unlike Alberta, when a governing party screws up, the electorate doesn't hesitate to throw them out.

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE
President Trump escalated his invective against Norway, calling it a ‘shit house country’ and saying Norwegian immigrants are not welcome in the United States because the Nobel committee, based in the capital Oslo, has not awarded him a Peace Prize reut.rs/3U1joSt
"One officer allegedly urinated on a homeless person while on duty, and another allegedly posed for photos that appeared to mock a suspect who was placed in a humiliating position during an arrest."

Melania Busted: A Shameless Attempt to Steal Credit from a Ailing Pope
In a repulsive new low even for the Trumps, Melania Trump ignited a well-deserved firestorm Friday after her pathologically dishonest husband and his regime had the audacity to credit her with single-handedly securing a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the city of Oleshky.
The grotesque claim was instantly blasted by critics who called out the regime for trying to hijack credit from Pope Leo. In a display of true selflessness that puts the Trumps to shame, the cancer-stricken pontiff had already called Russian President Vladimir Putin to request the Oleshky ceasefire a full week before Melania announced her fictional deal. The Pope made that critical call from his hospital bed, where he is currently fighting for his life and recovering from lung cancer surgery.
Yet, completely unbothered by the timeline, Melania's top adviser, Marc Beckman, shamelessly brushed aside the Pope's vital intervention to insist the achievement belonged to the First Lady alone.
"Yesterday she brokered — single-handedly brokered — a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine within the area of Oleshky," Beckman bragged on Fox & Friends Weekend on Saturday. In a staggering twist of delusion, Beckman even claimed that Melania inspired the Pope to get involved, rather than the other way around.
Equally detached from reality, Donald Trump is doubling down on his wife's rewritten history, telling reporters with a straight face that she is "doing better than the professionals right now."
To top off the entire embarrassing spectacle, Melania herself later added, "It is great to have [the] Pope’s support."

Smith confirmed she will continue to use taxpayer dollars to appeal the shutdown of the original separatist question...
But regardless of the outcome, she won't ask another separation question.
She wants the ruling to ensure First Nations don't have to be consulted.

Israeli rights group B’Tselem warned the Israeli government’s planned offensive amounts to “collective punishment and acts that could constitute war crimes”.
The Israeli government could not care less about that.

This should be sent to the league. A jumping elbow to the face from Matthew Tkachuk. That should be suspension worthy. @SensCentral @alexadamsBTP_
