The AfD is the far-right party in Germany that German intelligence services have classified as extremists, Bruce.
Multiple intelligence services have documented AfD ties to the Kremlin.

Finally someone on a major stage saying it out loud instead of hiding behind slogans. Shout it from the rooftops please Alice!
You can’t run a welfare state, bring in millions who need support, and keep energy prices this high without the books blowing up. It’s also tearing up the social fabric and native culture. People are waking up. Now watch the mainstream media ignore all of it - while twisting themselves into pretzels labelling her alt-right anyway.

Nally needs to go. He’s the same person who put American booze back on Alberta shelves, and also went on a taxpayer-funded bourbon tour. Nothing says ‘standing up for Albertans’ quite like that. #AbLeg edmontonjournal.com/opinion/…

Leaving aside all of the significant constitutional problems with this new cash bail nonsense, a practical effect that nobody seems to have considered - the overwhelmed and overcrowded jails are about to become significantly more overwhelmed and overcrowded. /1

.@Alberta_UCP Under the "Provincial Nominee Program” you, Government of Alberta and businesses, not the federal government, selected and invited Temporary Foreign Workers for Alberta. They also pay all taxes just like any Canadians.
Be honest, not racist. Own it.

New from me: Left-wing Edmonton news site The Progress Report is claiming a partial victory after the Edmonton Police Service (EPS) was directed to revise its media policy years after revoking publisher Duncan Kinney’s press credentials.

The cuts Danielle Smith and the UCP made to AISH are indefensible and unconscionable.

R. v. Berg, 2026 SCC 21: Short but very significant clarification on W.D. today. The Crown cannot rely on the mere acceptance of a complainant's evidence to reject the testimony of the accused.
