Sixty children have died in the care of this government over the last year. We cannot ignore the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our community, and the UCP must do everything in their power to ensure these kids have the support they need. youtube.com/shorts/L2Mmy...

Guys, I know it's not the point, but I gotta know: When it comes to porn, what does the premier consider "classic"?

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social‬ writes.

Slovenia has declared two top Israeli ministers personae non grata over “genocidal statements” and other violations of Palestinian human rights, barring them from entering the country.

The Jasper Wildfire review is damningly clear about one thing: the UCP government exploited a life-and-death moment to play political games. And in their response to this report, rather than accepting responsibility and promising to do better, they lash out, insult others, and refuse any blame.

“Danielle Smith says a policy introduced by Hungary’s ultranationalist leader Viktor Orbán is an “interesting” idea & thinks it would be worth taking a “closer look” to see if the policy could be effective” Policy advice from Orban now? #abpoli #cdnpoli pressprogress.ca/alberta-prem...

Great case study on #DoughnutEconomics that's useful for KS4/5 Social studies, Economics, Business or Politics. It's also relevant to Science and Geography.

“Climate is a multiplier of the cost of living crisis,” points out @jbozuwa.bsky.social of @cplusc.bsky.social. “We actually can build an alternative — in state rent control, green affordable housing. It’s not a climate movement, it’s a working class movement of which climate is a part.”

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out. Every single one.

Every proposal Danielle Smith’s “Alberta Next” project is floating would either be vastly expensive or require backing from other provinces and Ottawa. By me: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I just need you to look at these graphs, remember that fascism runs on fossil fuels, and come to some conclusions that involve collective action items:

“Although Smith will sue Ottawa at the drop of a hat, she apparently can’t lift a legal finger to defend the Rockies, Alberta’s iconic backbone.” 💥 #ableg #abpoli @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

There are now more troops carrying out Trump’s anti-protest crackdown in southern California than in both Iraq and Syria, regions where the U.S. has executed some of its most intense and inhumane military campaigns in recent decades, according to official counts.

Airdrie Mayor Peter Brown, without council's knowledge, and without the knowledge or consent of Airdrie citizens, pursued a private hospital using city resources in concert with a big developer, Qualico, and with the premier's advisor Rob Anderson, who is unelected. There should be a public inquiry.

Danielle Smith says Alberta’s record-high youth unemployment rate is because “kids don’t have their driver’s licenses.” Our young people deserve better. They deserve a government with a real plan to create opportunity and good jobs, not one justifying this crisis with wild excuses. #VoteforBetter

In the dead of night, the UCP passed the most comprehensive set of anti democratic reforms in Alberta history. No public consultation. No meaningful debate. How bad is Bill 54? Not horrible if you like Trump-style democracy. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

The new documentary "The Encampments" gives an inside look to one of the biggest protest movements in U.S. history. “Most of the coverage of the encampments to date has been from people who actually never even set foot on the encampments,” says producer Munir Atalla.

Boom. That's this Prime Minister's version of Shawinigan handshake.

🧵I was on CTV News to discuss the recent “exemptions” in the Provincial Priorities Act. Despite all federally funded research projects being publicly available, the Advanced Minister of Education maintains this was a “tremendous exercise” to see what research has been funded.

Elon Musk is flooding a Wisconsin Supreme Court election with millions of dollars. “The level of corruption at play here, the level of money at play here, really is a warning sign for what's happening to our democracy," says @ariberman.bsky.social of @motherjones.com.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
