Matt Gurney: Some good news for the west — you have more friends out east than you might realizeWesterners are angry at Ontario for always electing Liberals, but there are more Conservative voters in Ontario than Alberta and Saskatchewan combined Matt Gurney is making lemonade? Without any sugar, it’s just sour. This is a lame column, Matt. Very disappointing. The number of voters in the country willing to allow a corrupt, entitled govt to retain power and continue to gut the west is the point. They are complicit in Liberal wrongdoing. To reward corruption is self-destructive wexit mattgurney You do know that “the west” comprises B.C., Manitoba, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Saskatchewan, right? Stop conflating those provinces/territories with Alberta’s temper tantrum.

U.S. vaping-related deaths rise to 34The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 125 additional cases of vaping-related illnesses were reported in the last week, bringing the total to 1,604 in this year's outbreak. That includes 34 deaths, one more than last week. How many for cigarettes or alcohol? 94% of the deaths are due to tainted THC vaping. Part of the issue is that the media are reporting vaping deaths and not differentiating them as THC vaping deaths. No deaths have been linked to nicotine only vaping.
