As our neighbours to the south, the Senate should be elected. Regardless of their principles, they should hold the governing body accountable, and not be its lackey. Even if they are predominantly independent with centre-left tendencies, there is no excuse for a critical part of our democracy to be reduced to an unaccountable, toothless apparatus.
Unfortunately, we have a political class that is happily in bed with Islamists and can rest there quite comfortably since they know the media poses no real threat of competently reporting on any of this. Take for example the recent major Islamic conference in Toronto, Reviving the Islamic Spirit, which bills itself as the largest one in North America. They chose to invite Siraj Wahhaj as one of their main speakers, and this should have raised some eyebrows within the media if it truly is as sensationalist and Islamophobic as some people claim it is.
In mid-July, Keyano College was the first to adopt the “gold standard” consistent with the Chicago Principles. Its Board of Governors mandated free speech on campus, as of July 11th, highlighting the role of the individual in determining which ideas remain pertinent to an ongoing debate. Critics retort the move as a dog whistle or trojan horse for harmful expression on campus.
The Christmas season is most certainly upon us with only one sleep left until the big day! While many children will lay awake with eager anticipation of the gifts they will receive, the adults may be looking forward to some time off to relax with family and friends this holiday season.
The National Telegraph interviewed Wexit Communications Director on what advocating for an Independent Alberta means for him, as a millennial.

Clark: “The Alberta indigenous opportunities Corporation, which is just grants and loan guarantees, have come forward for private enterprise. This is just expanding it to the indigenous community. That is not an obligation of our provincial government, and the fact that [Premier Kenney] doing it is scaring the crap out of the people in Ottawa right now.”
In his 17 years in the oil and gas industry, Chris states, “owned a lot of stuff,” but he never felt fulfilled, and helping victims of abuse gave him a purpose. According to a Stats Canada report, 621 of every 100,000 women in Alberta, aged 15 and older, experienced intimate partner violence between 2006-2017. That’s above the national average of 487 per 100,000 women. For men, the trend is also concerning, at 174 of every 100,000 persons, also above the national average of 134 per 100,000.
Rather than speaking to Scheer’s family’s struggles in his early years, he spent the bulk of the campaign either deflecting on same-sex marriage and abortion or attacking Trudeau’s record. The mudslinging brought out the worst of our representatives and polarized the general electorate further.
In the aftermath of Scheer’s, Conservative members will revert to campaign mode to select a new leader.
In a TNT Exclusive with local MP David Yurdiga, we discussed the effects the project would have on residents and what it means for Canada’s energy sector, moving forward.
