ALBERTA SEPARATION IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD TO A PROSPEROUS FUTURE! I hope nothing but good thoughts for our peers for independence in Quebec as well. This dysfunctional poophole of a country needs to be dismantled.

Harper wanted minimum sentences for gun crime.

Harper wanted to build more prisons.

Trudeau nixed both.

No argument but since Alberta does not get to vote proportional to our population, leaving is the only answer!

I heartily agree. It most definitely is our only way back to sanity.

For me, Alberta independance can not come soon enough....Canada and especially the eastern part of Canada along with their majority of arrogant left wing woke populations and disdain attitude against the west, is a cancer....

Why wouldn't they continue this dispicable behavior when there are no consequences. They can walk into any store, load up with goodies & walk out with zero consequences.

It's Doug Fraud's LCBO model.

Watch them steal but lose your job if you attempt to stop them.

In a single word.

DISGUSTING

“…create a task force to study the root causes of theft.”

That is what city council wants to spend money on? Not much wonder the city is failing its citizens.

Hey, how else are the cronies and flunkies with 'Social Studies' degrees going to find work that involves not doing anything? Besides, they need a reason to write a report about how its colonization's fault.

"City council voted in April to create a task force to study the root causes of theft. A report is expected this fall"... Its quite clear why shoplifters and criminals are running around arrogantly and rampantly stealing, and committing crimes at will with zero worry or thoughts about their criminal consequences. The BC and federal liberal government have turned our streets into hell holes of crime, drugs and violent protesters. These scum operate freely and do not fear any repurcussions from police as the police dare not arrest them. If the police do decide to arrest anyone, the criminal is released out on bail even before the police can complete the paperwork. The Vancouver city council are morons and will do nothing but waste more taxpayers money on their nonsense and ridiculous "study" which will arrive at this same conclusion. However, given the history of the council, they will do nothing to change policies to protect the public. The Sports Check, "No Touch/No Chase" policy may protect their employees but it is a policy which protects criminals more and also hugely emboldens them to continue committing more crimes without worry of arrest. I will no longer shop at any Canadian Tire or Sports Check. Its too bad because for years, I have frequented these retailers and purchased goods from both, but no more... Shoppers should boycot these stores and once sales begin to fall perhaps these retailers will change their moronic, crime inducing policies. Canada for the last 11 years has turned into a shit hole and continues upon its rapid downward spiral into public criminal chaos in the streets and mass criminal behavor by tens of thousands of repeat crimianl offenders who dont care much about any rule of law or decency.....This has been the pathetic and perverse state of our country for too long and we can thank the Liberal party in Ottawa for all of this criminal insanity and violence in our streets..... https://www.westernstandard.news/opinion/robson-no-more-revolving-door-justice-western-canada-can-lead-on-bail-reform/67672?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=2025-09-22&utm_campaign=Western+Standard+s+Daily+Newsletter

Bamboo: While we're at it, boycott another so-called 'Canadian' company for egregious exploitation of the Temporary Foreign Workers Program. Tim Horton's. It's been owned by a foreign corporation for years...still parades itself as 'homegrown'.

As with consumers walking away from Bud Light a couple of years ago for its pathetic pro-trans rebranding, the impact of people not patronizing establishments they find offensive can be effective. I will never again enter a Canadian Tire/Sports Check store or a Timmie's outlet.

I have refused to patronize Tim Hortons for about 10 years now and dont plan to ever go there anytime soon or in the future.. Tim Hortons is over rated and over priced and nothing about that organization is even remotely "Canadian", especially in the last 3 or 4 years.....

Why would you need a study on why people are stealing? The answers are multiple and obvious!

No legal repercussions for theft, 10 years of Liberals have ruined the ability for people to find jobs and often cannot feed themselves etc….

Canadians need to boycott these franchises, hit them where it hurts, their pockets! Prime example is south of the border with Bud Light, look how quick they changed their minds!!

Time to deport them! If they can’t behave with respect and treat Canada with dignity, they do not belong here! Do you ever hear of a GANG OF JEWS running into a store and stealing? Nope…..these people’s cultures allow them to steal to survive. Here in Canada, they do not need to hurt others to survive. We already pay enough with socialism. We need more consequences for this non Canadian types of behaviour.

Says so much about management at Canadian Tire. They should've supported this worker, not fire him.

But then they might be in conflict with the Liberal Overlords, which would deny them much needed climate subsidies....you know in case they needed $100 million bucks of free freezers or some other such nonsense!

You and me both - if we did this, we'd go to jail for years....no parole...no mercy. They'd take our guns away and never let us own one again. In this case, we're expected to just subsidize the criminals.

Ah yes, another event where in Kanada we are expected to do as the criminals ask, give them our keys to our homes and cars....maybe feed them, cook up a nice buffet so they don't get hungry stealing our after-tax belongings....All while the government coddles them, canoodles them and does nothing to protect us.
