Rest in peace to a legend. Catherine O'Hara, 1954-2026

wow, Pam Bondi obviously wants to make damn sure she goes to prison after the regime falls.

“Corporate renewable energy procurement in Alberta has virtually disappeared, with deals plummeting 99% from 2023 levels.” An entirely avoidable failure in economic diversification and climate policy because the UCP are not able to create a stable investment environment in Alberta. (1)

The United States of America. No one is safe — and the government defends this.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

Carney and Macron are the only two leaders not being conciliatory to Trump in the vague hope that he'll just go away, that somehow the US system will wake up and remove him. Keir Starmer, in particular, is so very very spineless.

In light of what has been going on south of the border, I think Albertans should be VERY concerned about a premier who wants to have a provincial police force (i.e. one that answers to her) AND has legislated that our drivers licenses display our citizenship. #ableg #abpolitics #UCP=MAGA

Homeland Security is demonstrably lying, which we know thanks to the bravery of the protesters who filmed the whole thing. The wheels turned away. ICE shot her in the face multiple times, in broad daylight, anyway.

The only reason that a few countries in Europe have maintained nuclear arsenals for decades is to deter attacks on NATO territory by an aggressor with an overwhelming conventional military advantage. All this time, we assumed it would be Russia, but then Trump and the Nazi Stephen Miller arrived.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Jesus fucking christ

Jfc, the police wanted to charge Epstein's victims.

I look forward to the day when we hear something like this from a powerful official in Alberta. Who here is prepared to take a stand for the basic rights of trans people? #abpoli

Republicans voting against the felony national trans youth healthcare ban were Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Gabe Evans (CO), Michael Lawler (NY), Mike Kennedy (UT). Dems voting FOR the felony ban were Henry Cueller (TX), Vincente Gonzalez (TX), Don Davis (NC). 3 NVs on both sides.

"The students are facing potential discipline that could range from a private reprimand to being required to withdraw from the school" Instead of removing the guy who was buddies with a sex trafficker, they're investigating and going to discipline students who drew attention to it? Insanity.

Uhm.. There are no words.. AHS report is a mess.. 13 OBGYN Closures/Diversions, GROWING list of COVID/Influenza Outbreaks.. 6 Sites with Acute care bed closures...8 ER's closed.. 7 OR's closed.. @frazzleheadlc.bsky.social Sorry! open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh... #UCPCorruption #ABHealth #abpoli

An Alberta regulator is supposed to block struggling companies from obtaining oil and gas wells. Tax data obtained by The Narwhal suggests the regulator ignored the rules when it allowed a company with unpaid taxes to obtain 170 wells. @drewanderson.bsky.social reports: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-ener...

Even with everything we've seen from the Trump regime, this is a shocking level of extremism.

Premier Danielle Smith is a coward, a bully and a hypocrite. Stripping kids of rights and denying them their day in court isn't leadership, it's cowardice. Sure, she's able to suspend their rights. That doesn't mean she should. My latest 👇🏻👇🏻 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

It seems every frikken day there is a new assault on Albertans' rights by the UCP horror show. #abpoli

You might remember the B.C. white nationalist conference I covered a few months back, Exiles of the Golden Age. Well, @antihate.ca just identified 18 attendees -- and CBC got two more. Naturally, these dudes have been crashing out. So I gathered some favourites for your viewing pleasure:

Bluesky had a real "Paradox of Tolerance" moment, banning Patton Oswalt for raging against the normalization of child sex trafficking. Everyone knows the President of the USA raped children The whole GOP (and Megyn Kelly) are preventing consequences. Without the Rule of Law, we get woodchippers.

Obama's team was in the Situation Room for the operation to kill Osama bin Laden. Trump's team used the Situation Room to kill the release of the Epstein files.

What a preventable tragedy caused by a disinformation grievance industrial complex. Shameful.

... so, after all the noise the Canadian government has made about foreign election interference, is there any possible justification for continuing to allow malevolent foreign oligarchs to marinate Canadians in far-right propaganda? #cdnpoli

Even in the midst of all the UCP's incompetence and corruption, getting rid of the person investigating #CorruptCare is a big "I have fired the horse inspector!" moment. #abpoli

Gosh, thanks, Google (whose algorithms have long pushed users toward extremist content, because profit is everything and humanity is nothing, to Google).

I can’t stay silent while Alberta considers using the notwithstanding clause to strip rights from trans people. This is cruelty disguised as policy. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #abpoli #cdnpoli

Looks like Dale Nally just signed away some of Alberta to foreign companies. Beacon (a foreign-controlled entity) to acquire the large tracts of "controlled land" necessary for their multiple projects across rural Alberta. #DaleNally #ABleg #ABpoli

I am not mutilated.

“A transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers” is, quite literally, the EXACT phenomenon that Hannah Arendt was referring to when she coined the phrase “the banality of evil.”

Well, voting took about an hour longer than normal and instead of learning the results tonight we won’t have any idea who won until late tomorrow — but at least it cost us an extra $1.3 million! And all to combat voter fraud that categorically does not exist. Great new system, thanks UCP. #abpoli
