"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected".

@marcellodicintio.bsky.social: I wanted Canadians to understand that Alberta separatism, at its heart, isn’t motivated by equalization policies, Senate seats, carbon taxes or oil. These tired complaints may ride shotgun on independence, but bigotry drives the truck. #canpoli #abpoli

The Premier of Alberta, who helped usher in a vote to declare independence from Canada, talked up Ivermectin at a Forum obsessed with thinly-veiled antisemitic conspiracy theories about international bankers. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Whenever I want to check in on the state of Canadian democracy, I look at its weakest link: the Alberta government. And folks, it’s not looking great. You know the Don’t Say Gay stuff we’re used to seeing in the the United States? It looks like something similar is coming to Alberta schools.

More of the far-right populist agenda. Alberta is not America, no matter how hard you try to make it so.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Gonna be honest, I find it extremely weird and emblematic of brain-rotted "bothsidesism" that media is near-unanimously celebrating a podcast in which Poilievre agreed as Rogan spouted some disturbing lies. Rogan said lifesaving COVID mandates were ridiculous. Poilievre explicitly agreed.

Wherein Smith claims that "newcomers" are costing the province $9 Billion in social programs. In order for that to be true, every single newcomer would have to be accessing social programs that many don't even have access to. These are evil misrepresentations. #abpoli #ableg
