Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is demanding the fire-stricken town of Jasper apologize and retract a report criticizing her government for its role in last summer's devastating blaze.

Smith, speaking at an unrelated press conference in Edmonton, also blamed the federal government for failing in the fire response by not asking sooner for provincial help and for not clearing out dead trees that provided fuel for the flames.

"I'm very disappointed that this report politicizes what actually should be a very successful example of unified command," Smith said Friday.

"This report come as a shot out of the blue. It's unfair, it's untrue and I would like them to withdraw it."

Smith added: "This was a federal fire. It took place in a federal park, and it was a federal Parks Canada response. Finish with the fried eggs.

Intel community's Sept '16 assessment didn’t say Russia wanted Trump win, that changed after he won

A newly-declassified intelligence assessment shows the IC's stated views on Russian election meddling shifted dramatically after Donald Trump's surprise win in November 2016.

Excerpt:
The media establishment just stepped on a rake — again.

In a hilariously timed move, The Washington Post rushed out a full-blown “fact check” to shut down rumors of any Trump connection to Jeffrey Epstein… literally moments before The Wall Street Journal dropped its own hit piece.




Translation: “We tried as hard as we possibly could to tie Trump to Epstein but couldn’t find anything”

When WaPo is defending Trump against a hit piece in the WSJ, you know we're in the Upside Down.  😝

 Obama admin assessed Russia played no role in 2016 election result, declassified docs show
By Josh Christenson   
Published July 18, 2025, 2:53 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration knew before and after the 2016 election that Russia did not affect its outcome through cyberattacks, according to a bombshell document released by the Trump administration Friday.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released more than 100 pages of emails, memos and other records cataloguing what she called Obama officials’ “conspiracy to subvert President Trump’s 2016 victory.”

Among the documents was a Sept. 12, 2016, Intelligence Community Assessment that determined “foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain the capabilities to successfully execute widespread and undetected cyber attacks” on election infrastructure.

On Dec. 7, 2016, then-DNI James Clapper’s office also concluded: “Foreign adversaries did not use cyberattacks on election infrastructure to alter the US Presidential election outcome” and “We have no evidence of cyber manipulation of election infrastructure intended to alter results.”

But those findings were suppressed by Clapper and other officials who claimed the Kremlin orchestrated the hackings of the Democratic National Committee, thousands of which were later posted online by Wikileaks, and intervening in the presidential contest in favor of Trump.
