The photo of Justin Trudeau wearing a pink shirt beside his teenage son, both having seen Barbie and liked it, continues to draw heat from homophobes and other Trudeau haters...Andrew Perez on Twitter says the photo has made far too many Canadians — not merely the far right — completely lose it.

But the Danielle Smith government has decided to push the pause button on all approv...

From Mike Pence the former Vice President who may not be the brightest bulb on earth, but did figure out how to stay out of prison....Pence says President Trump and his gaggle of crackpot lawyers asked me to reject electoral votes and chaos would have ensued.

I think it's time we started telling the truth about Fascism. Fascists have always talked about fighting for freedom. But that's always been their largest lie. Their idea of freedom is having maximum power over all public & private enterprise - and that means all state or provincial government, all local government is neutralized and neutered - no real power except to carry out orders for the...

Sounds like you maybe, maybe you should switch teams, then you'd really be politically correct. That's just one of many homophobic messages that came at me this week because I wasn't happy with the crazy t shirt that turned the premier of Albert...
