Let me say, it is one of my political ambitions never to have Jeremy Appel and Jen Gerson investigating me at the same time. #abpoli @readtheorchard.org

Unsurprisingly, some people who make poor life choices and don't live within their means are separatists. They probably scream "personal responsibility!" at poorer people too. Separatism won't fix that. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“By legitimizing a movement built on bigotry, we’ve legitimized the bigotry itself. Alberta won’t emerge from this exercise as the bad place separatists yearn for. Thankfully. But I fear we’ll be a worse place than we were before.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

How did we get to the point where someone thought it was a good idea to send login codes to an email address as the primary authentication method in lieu of passwords? It seems to me like that is super insecure. And now I'm seeing login code plus 2FA code. JUST WHY??!

So the separatists get a referendum if they collect enough signatures, but Forever Canadian needs a study group? www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Immigrants are not Alberta’s problem. They’re here legally. They’re the ones serving you coffee at Timmies. Populist governments need a scapegoat, an “out-group”. For Hitler it was Jews, for Trump it’s Latinos. It’s an un-Canadian and deplorable political strategy. #ableg

Jon Stewart on the latest Epstein dump, the lack of accountability, and how the real sanctuary cities in America are "where money and power protect you from the consequences of sex trafficking"

This week's Marketplace (S53E11) is about how some food manufacturers aren't being totally clear about how they label and market their not-necessarily-as-Canadian-as-they-want-us-to-believe food products. LOVE the Australian solution. We really should implement it here. gem.cbc.ca/marketplace/...

Such a sweet video. Elle Goulding takes stage at PinkPop 2023 (June in Landgraaf, Netherlands) in front of so many admiring young women, dying to sing "Love Me Like You Do" right back to her. She starts, then cheekily whispers "C'mon." Then exhorts: "Louder!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=YepK...

A citizen e-petition has been launched in the House of Commons calling on the Federal Government to its disallowance power to override Alberta and Saskatchewan’s use of the notwithstanding clause to violate the human rights of trans Canadians. Sign here: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

What's a 'wareeah'?

Let me start off by saying that I know all of us are busy and exhausted and just trying to figure things out as we go. I get that. I’m tired too. And yes, I recognize that shaming people isn’t a great tactic to get people on your side, but I also just need to vent. 🧵 [1/N] #ABLeg #ABPoli

@redgate-software.bsky.social how does licensing for Redgate Monitor work for non-production servers?

The latest editorial I wrote for @abworker.bsky.social I have struggled my entire life making friends. It was not until recently that I realized it was because I have autism. albertaworker.ca/politics/aut...

Spent a fun day at Alford Lake for Provincial Hunting Day bagging foam boars and firing guns.

Gawd help us when new drivers have to drive a vehicle without automatic braking when that's all they've ever driven.

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism. But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.

the Canada Revenue Agency is consulting Canadians about automatic tax filing. Fantastic idea, so many other countries do this successfully. Fill in the online questionnaire and be heard. www.canada.ca/en/revenue-a...

The Air Canada strike could be a major win for unionized workers throughout the country if it sets a precedent for defying the union-busting abuse of the Labour Code. www.davidmoscrop.com/p/the-air-ca...

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

Brian Mason never minced his words. Trust me, I know. We sat across the aisle from each other in the House. I still have scars to show. But when it comes to the #ForeverCanadian petition, he supports. Brian, thanks for the letter! #ableg

Vienna has been dethroned. The new "world's most livable city" is [drum roll] Copenhagen, which was also, in a separate survey, recently ranked the world's happiest city. US cities basically do everything exactly the opposite of Copenhagen, which is why not a single US city is in the top ten.

First rose of the year.

Canada Post should be funded by the federal government. It’s a national public service.

Guaranteeing "all Alberta seniors the same or better benefits than the Canada Pension Plan" in perpetuity would make APP a Ponzi scheme. At best, the UCP could only guarantee that at the time of creation, then it's downhill. Bait and switch to steal seniors' savings. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Premier of Alberta has a storied history of blowing things up (figuratively, not literally), when she can no longer control what’s happening. The Calgary Board of Education. The WRP. This is what she does. IMHO, she wouldn’t hesitate to rip Alberta apart to save her own ass. #ableg

🧵These are excerpts from this excellent article, because the historical parallels between the rise of Nazi Germany and the US today are so clear. Goebbels said, "The big joke on democracy is that it gives its mortal enemies the means to its own destruction.”

“Alberta has no apparent right to secede. A supposedly “independent” Alberta would be an unlawful occupation of land that was only shared with the Crown, not the people who came to settle the province.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
