Plus, Alberta’s COVID Response Report was released this week and among its various recommendations, it urges the provincial government stop providing vaccines for healthy children and teenagers. The same “experts” who pushed for mandatory vaccines are dismissing the report, calling it “anti-science” and “anti-evidence.” And as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre pledged to deport temporary residents carrying out violent or hate crimes in Canada, Alberta updated its antisemitism curriculum in response to the rise in anti-Jewish hatred worldwide following Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 attack on Israeli citizens.

    Jan 18 2025
    Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney launched his campaign this week but independent media, including True North, were not welcome at his campaign launch event as police removed independent journalists off the premises at the direction of Carney’s campaign.
