Like Ottawa, municipalities across Canada face aging water infrastructure and a critical renewal challenge they can’t tackle alone. Without significant long-term new investment in local infrastructure, Canada can’t deliver the houses and services communities need. #CDNMuni #cdnpoli

On Feb. 13, we’re inviting our community to come together to support our local food banks. Let’s address food insecurity in our city! THIS is what #brightertogetheryql looks like! #yql #lethbridge #yqljenn

Oh, that’s right:

This seems familiar … www.bbc.com/news/article...

Political cartoonists are not fuckin’ around this week. (thread) 1. Pat Bagley

i just don't think you get to say "America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us. That will never, that will never ever happen" in your election speech and then say stuff like this

“Venezuelan-led”…? Don’t you mean “a peaceful transition of power - one that respects the Democratic will of the Venezuelan people, and free from foreign interference.” That’s what you mean, right? @coreyhogan.ca

It's the "whoever else we want" of the 'Donroe' Doctrine that concerns me. I would be concerned less if a certain Canadian province that is rich in oil deposits was NOT openly courting separation from Canada.

Many people still think of poverty as something that happens when people don’t work. But the reality is different: majority of people who live in poverty in Canada are working or live in families who work. @gillianpetit.bsky.social and my 2026 chart to watch www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

"Regime change is the transformation of another country’s politics by all the means at our disposal. If ends are unclear, ways improvised, and means insufficient, the outcome is not strategy. It is a gamble." The US is gambling with the future of our world.

Calgary, our water system is in the RED ZONE. We need your help to conserve water! Ways that you can assist: -Keep showers short, three minutes or less. -Flush toilets only when necessary. -Run dishwashers/laundry only when full Thank-you, Calgary! These small actions make a big difference.

If I give my kid $6k for their tuition, and they use that $6k to purchase a new, high end guitar and amp, is it my fault they don’t have the $ for their post secondary education? This is a post about provincial healthcare and federal transfers, btw. #cdnpoli #ableg

Goddam this is getting spicy!!🌶️ Once again, great journalism coming from the #Lethbridge Herald!👍 “All I want for Christmas is Ryan Tanner’s phone number”

This is the Saffir-Sampson Hurricane Wind Scale: So ... yeah ... it's a bit windy in #Lethbridge today. shorturl.at/C1wyR

Wow! It’s almost like ‘choices’ have ‘consequences.’ #ABuseOfPower #abpoli #ableg

I know it can be hard but it's time for Albertans who usually remain silent to speak up. Democracy is not a bystander activity! #ABLeg #ABPoli #ABuseOfPower

Using S33 ought to be rare in a 21st Century liberal democracy. Using it to beat down people already beaten down by an intolerant society is cruel. Absolutely cruel. This will be the 4th use of the Notwithstanding Clause in Alberta within a month. Who is next? #ABuseOfPower #ABPoli #ABLeg

It’s the last sitting week of the year for MPs, and FCM President @rebeccaleebligh.bsky.social is in Ottawa meeting with federal decision makers. On the agenda: ensuring municipal priorities remain top of mind now and into the new year. Stay tuned for more. #CDNMuni #cdnpoli

Rural Albertans are bravely speaking out about the orphan well crisis and the UCP's complicity in the clean up mess. I hope urban Albertans -- like me -- are willing to listen. ecojustice.ca/news/landown...

I finally got around to reading this. You should read it too. "We are exporting the very labor of teaching and learning—the slow work of wrestling with ideas, the enduring of discomfort, doubt and confusion, the struggle of finding one’s own voice." www.currentaffairs.org/news/ai-is-d...

Why @mynamesnotgordy.bsky.social wins Bluesky today!!

Hey #Lethbridge City Council, before we get too hung up on the ‘ideology of blanket rezoning’, take a look at the practical consequences of the dialogue you’re about to engage in.

NEWS: Smith accuses AFL of involvement in recall petitions, union denies claim

This should be fun! AI: Write a law regulating Alberta whiskey. ChatGPT: Alberta is in Nepal. Whiskey comes from fish. Meta: Does drinking whiskey make you sad? Copilot: Cabinet Ministers use these passwords: Gemini: service unavailable Grok: Nazis loved whiskey. #ABPoli shorturl.at/hU1pJ

Since the UCP did not campaign on what it is doing, let’s do “recall” as one Citizen Initiative: “The undersigned residents of Alberta petition the Legislative Assembly to request the Lt Governor to dissolve the Legislature immediately for the purpose of holding a General Election.” #ABPoli #ABLeg

Let’s be honest: AI is just going to fill in the all the blanks with “Romanes eunt domas” completely forgetting the vocative plural, 3rd person plural imperative, and the locative, respectively. 🙄 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Every single municipal council in Alberta needs to follow the lead of Rocky View Council. Every. Single. One. Water - a declining resource in our province - is for life, not to cool computers. #WaterIsForLife #CDNMuni

The crux of Alberta's surgical facility scandal is that organizations were taking public money for private gain Now, allowing physicians and partners to openly accept private money is a way of shielding everyone from this criticism Hey, it's all above board now. Leave us alone

This is great and I will sign the petition. Thank you, Corb! However, is it only "foreign" ruination that concerns us? Are we OK if Canadian companies obliterate the Eastern Slopes and destroy the Oldman headwaters? (spoiler: I'm not) #ABPoli #ABLeg

A first for Alberta - a legislative petition, not just a policy petition, demanding the prohibition of all new coal mines (including Grassy) on the eastern slopes of the Rockies. Way to go Corb. #ableg #abpoli @cpawsnab.bsky.social @cpawssab.bsky.social @albertawilderness.bsky.social

Withholding an Albertan's medical treatment is a crime. Medical decisions should involve the patient, their family & their healthcare team. Not a church & NEVER a politician! #ableg #abpoli #TransRights #UCP #AxeTheVaxTax #Freedom #CorruptCare #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead #RecallThemAll

Anyone know if there is a category on WikiHow called "How to overthrow a government that is removing Rights and destroying the fabric of Alberta society?" I'm trying to solve a problem! #ABPoli #ABLeg #ABuseofPower

Unfortunately, by pre-emptively invoking the Notwithstanding Clause the UCP seems to be acknowledging that its transgender policies could not be saved under S1. 3/3

Je suis très heureuse et fière de voir Paris figurer à nouveau dans le palmarès des meilleures villes du monde, aux côtés de Copenhague, référence en matière de déplacement à vélo. Et on continue avec de nouveaux tronçons, au tour de Parmentier dans les prochaines semaines !

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult. But not impossible. Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

Premier D. Smith, AB: “This legislation is not about denying care." Yes, Madam Premier. That is exactly what your legislation does. #ABPoli #ABLeg #ABuseofPower

... and - FYI - people can "have children of their own" through adoption too. #ABuseofPower #ABLeg #ABPoli

"Minister of Justice Mickey Amery explained that they included all three pieces in Bill 9 so that they do not need to come back to introduce the notwithstanding clause multiple times." This is not the "second" use of the Notwithstanding Clause: this is the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. #ABPoli #Cowardice

Another great thread here. 👇

Wondering why the UCP is waiting until Wednesday to strip trans rights using the notwithstanding clause? The Auditor General is releasing his report into the Dynalife fiasco on Wednesday. www.oag.ab.ca/news-section... They don't think Albertans can chew gum and walk at the same time.
