A government under seven (7) different investigations for corruption just introduced a bill that would bring more corporate money into politics. This is not normal. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Utterly shameful. Smith will be emboldened for sure. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

An Alberta govt task force has recommended the use of COVID-19 vaccines be halted unless more info is provided about risks, as part of a report rife with suggestions that run counter to mainstream scientific consensus. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... With @alannasmith.bsky.social

Another coal alert. Did anybody notice that the GoA issued a NEW coal lease in September 2024. The listing indicates that the area is sensitive for burrowing owl, raptors and sharp-tailed grouse. WTAF. This has links to both the offering doc & the results doc. #ableg www.alberta.ca/coal-public-...

Wouldn't it be great if there was as much outrage from Canadian media over Danielle Smith vacationing at Trump's place as there was when the PM vacationed at Aga Khan's place? ‼️CANADIAN MEDIA FAILED‼️ ❤️ if you agree.

This is not reassuring

Remember when people said Elon is engaging in election interference & trying to overthrow Canada's democracy & y'all called us Tin Foil Hatters? Also, remember when we said a lot of of the hate towards Trudeau is misogyny adjacent?

I am proud to represent my country, Canada, at the United Nations. A foundational principle of international law and the UN Charter is to respect the sovereignty and independence of other states. That’s why we support Ukraine. It’s also why we support ourselves.

We’re all out if political plays. Either the NDP listens to their supporters and a miracle happens and Trudeau and Singh work together for the good of the country or we end up with Poilievre. If you don’t contact your MPs and communicate this, we’re toast. No one is coming to save us #cdnpoli

for the potato fears not death

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, to improve quality-of-life today, and also to help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050. On top of everything else Paris has been doing.

stay safe Calgarians.

Part of Dark Age 2.0 is the bizarro embrace of a twisted (read: wrong) history of COVID. Alas, many believe. COVID was unprecedented. YES, we need to study & learn & improve. Benefits / harms of intervensions further explored. But let's not twist history to support ideological agendas. Reminder👇

I would like to see a map with Alberta coal mines (existing and planned) overlain with the exclusion zones for solar and wind projects. How are coal mines in the foothills consistent with pristine viewscape exclusions for renewables? Make it make sense.

Explanation post: Those who followed me on X know I posted about medical access - including vaccines - the need for masks and the need for dogs. I never posted about politics. Now I’m getting political. I can hope we all are. There’s so much at stake in Canada. This is the tip a huge iceberg:

Here we go

~If people only realized the damage that the CPC will do if they gain power they might get their asses out to vote.

Well don’t ever forget this…

If I were Trudeau I would prorogue, bring Carney in, introduce UBI like everyone told me to and Freeland blocked, lift Canadians and disabled Canadians out of poverty and win a 4th term to spite the god damn traitors we have in this country. #cdnpoli

The premier seems far more interested in cozying up to Trump than in helping Albertans. We need to find serious solutions to this tariff threat which will devastate our economy. Danielle Smith's casual thoughts on border security are not what our negotiations need.

How much did Albertans pay for a report to justify Smith's vision for a grand central station in Calgary and derail the green line while ignoring the costs of changing plans? Glad you asked. $2,468,949.00 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Evidence based???

You know you’ve got the Christmas tree right when it has an ambulance, a fire truck, a red airplane, a yellow airplane, a tricycle, a rattle from a 1960s stroller, a black bear, two hedgehogs and a porcupine on it.

I seriously did not think we would have a province (Alberta, always) begin removing #healthcare based on protected category grounds and the whole country not light 🔥but here we are. #cdnpoli #medsky #lawtwitter

Alberta just passed anti-2SLGBTQ+ laws that signal second-class citizenship for queer and trans people Introduction of these laws have already regressed public attitudes- yesterday Barrhead, AB banned Pride crosswalks These laws are disgusting attempts to eradicate queer life. #ableg #abpoli

#Canada #Poilievre #cdnpoli #cdnpolitics #border #Trump #Trudeau #CanadaUSBorder Canadians have a low tolerance for propaganda and partisan spin. Here's what Poilievre doesn't want you to know about his record on the border:

Well, Trudeau is right. Poilievre refuses to be on #TeamCanada. He’s offside with Canadians, playing against Canada. Bench him. #cdnpoli #ableg #yyc #yeg #CanadaSky 🇨🇦 🏒

The CBC is one of the last truly Canadian voices, untainted by excessive 'Americanization.' Cutting its funding is not the solution—investing in it is. Canada deserves a strong, independent national news media that tells our stories, our way ❤️🇨🇦

Alberta is home to the worst transphobia in Canada. If you live here and disagree with the provincial government doing this in your name, now is the time to act and use your voice

I think people need to understand no gender affirming care available to them in Canada is permanent and all healthcare just lets them put it on hold while they mature and decide on their own identity. WHICH THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO AS WHOLE HUMAN BEINGS

The UCP has named Stockwell Day's son to the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Never underestimate the power of wearing a mask. It’s an act of solidarity with disabled people It’s an act of resistance against governments trying to convince you the covid threat is over It’s an act of compassion. You’re showing you don’t want to get someone else sick. It’s powerful.

This should make you angry. We should be in the streets. A vulnerable group of human beings lost rights today.

Wear a mask. It’s a tiny thing to do. But it allows people to live life in public. To go to hospital and see their doctors. To go to the supermarket. To go to a concert. To begin to put an end to this. Please.

"We stand at a critical juncture. Alberta has the power to choose a future where confronting eco-grief is seen as a bold acknowledgment of our interconnectedness with the planet. Ignoring eco-grief risks jeopardizing planetary health and cementing a legacy of environmental betrayal."

If it isn’t clear to Americans, there is absolutely no question that we do not want to become the 51st state. We clear?
