I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Sickening, revealing stuff from someone with the president’s ear

What if Canada could make groceries more affordable for underserved communities and support Canadian farmers / food workers all while taking power back from Galen Weston and the price-fixing grocery barons? @vassb.bsky.social says public grocery stores could be a good idea in Canada too:

The concentration camp on the left has alligators and unbearable heat. The one on the right made people say "never again" until Trump came along.

Proud that we stand on the side of freedom and democracy. 🇨🇦🇺🇦 "Warmest congratulations to Mark Carney and the entire Canadian people on Canada Day. This day celebrates a nation that has become a shining example of unity, democracy, and the defense of freedom." - Volodymyr Zelenskyy

This is a friendly reminder that vaccines save lives and they are one of the greatest public health achievements we have ever created. It’s worked so well that people forget how bad these diseases used to be.

No, it's a simple recognition that massive wealth in the hands of individuals is often used to constrain the freedom of others, and a functioning society should have checks against unconstrained power. Like taxing billionaires out of existence.

In the Alberta Next survey on immigration, it literally says we would be able to stop allowing “types of immigrants we don’t want” if levels get too high. Let’s just let that percolate for a minute.

If 🇨🇦Canada needs to ban exports of oil, gas, potash, hydroelectricity, aluminium and critical minerals to the 🇺🇸USA in order to respond to their trade attacks, then so be it. The rest of us will then need to share the costs with the affected provinces. 🇨🇦#ElbowsUp

Please watch this, esp from 1:00-3:00. Charlie's right. Trump and his gangsters are "building a narrative" using the "right-wing playbook": "creating a convenient enemy, an existential threat that must be dealt with." *Just like Putin did w Ukraine.* We and our money are NOT coming back to USA. 💸

It is the rhetoric of invasion. On Gaurd!

UCP doing UCP things. "Accessing the shot will also be more limited: in the near future, pharmacists like "People are scared," Elfishawi said during an interview at his south Edmonton location, describing the calls he's had from clients – especially seniors." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We are relieved to see the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta grant an injunction which restores Alberta physicians' ability to make clinical decisions based on evidence, in consultation with patients and their families. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The fact that the UCP have a $8.3B surplus and have the lowest per student spending in Canada, have purposely broken our healthcare system, and are taking $200/month away from people living with a disability tells you everything you need to know about their “values”. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissenting in 6-3 SCOTUS birthright citizenship case: "It is not difficult to predict how this all ends. Eventually, executive power will become completely uncontainable, and our beloved constitutional Republic will be no more." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

One of our best political leaders in Canada. #Manitoba #NDP #WabKinew #cdnpoli

Bibi Netanyahu being boycotted by UN diplomats. It’s time for this criminal to face the consequences of his atrocities.

“British Columbia Premier David Eby says the growing spread of measles across Canada is "the sadly predictable outcome" of the "recklessness" of anti-vaccination politicians.” **weeps in Albertan**

MONDAY, JUNE 23, IS ELECTION DAY! You want a better Alberta where seniors are respected, rural families can thrive, and healthcare remains accessible. I’m ready to stand up for you. Stand with me. 🗳️ Polls are open 9AM - 8PM 📌 Find your poll location: albertandp.ca/vote #VOTEforBETTER

It’s alright everyone; Brian Lilley has decided that Trump’s illegal bombing of Iran was “necessary” What an asshole

Pierre Poilievre is the only national leader in the history of Canada who refuses (or can't get) national security clearance. He doesn't have a clue what he is talking about as he tries to stoke war in the Persian Gulf. No wonder voters booted his arse out of Parliament.

Pope Leo condemns US bombing Iran

The only thing I can say about Keir Starmer is thank God he wasn't PM back in May 1940. He will go along dutifully with whatever Trump claims. Canadians would be fools to think this punter would have our back in a showdown with Trump. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I received this update from Global Affairs Canada tonight. Sharing information here, to help reach a larger audience. #Israel #Iran #GAC #Canada

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament approves the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Decision needs ratified by Iran’s Security Council. It would trap 20% of the world’s oil supply and send a catastrophic shock through the global economy.

They were at the negotiating table, Ursula! They weren’t the ones that pulled out of the JCPOA! Experts say they were not going for the bomb! Is the EU going to sanction Israel and the US for their violations of international law?

My only working explanatory hypothesis right now is that billionaires and authoritarians *Literally* thrive on human misery; that if people aren't suffering then all their money and power don't actually sustain them, and that cruelty & sheer horror are the only things that flow through their veins.

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

After years of advocacy, applications for the $200/month Canada Disability Benefit opened today. But the only provincial govt in Canada that will keep its citizens with disabilities from actually benefiting from it is the UCP. They are the only ones clawing it back. It’s cruel & shameful.

Mahmoud said free them all

They ripped him apart from his pregnant wife in her last trimester. They stole from him the birth of his baby boy Dean, his graduation ceremony, his first Father's Day. They detained him illegally for 104 days. But today, Mahmoud Khalil is FINALLY FREE. 🤍✊🏼

Come along for the first-ever all-Canadian voyage to #Antarctica, get a rare front-row seat to climate science, and witness geopolitics in action in this CBC News Special Presentation. #Canada gem.cbc.ca/cbc-in-antar...

How about this alternative headline: “Alberta government returns $137 million transfer payment from Ottawa for cleaning up orphan wells, losing local reclamation jobs in the process.” And the UCP thinks they’re great with money and red tape reduction. 🙄

Time for another pollinators tip! Pollinators need places to lay eggs, overwinter and just hide. Old logs, dead plant stalks, fall leaves, and other "messy" areas are all good for pollinators. Flowers are just a food source. They need homes and nurseries too! So let's keep things a bit messy! 🌱 🌎

Say goodbye to the 'Alberta Advantage.' Life has gotten worse under the UCP. Period.

I have no love for either the Israeli or Iranian governments, but if one is going to consider their relative merits, only one of them is––with the full collaboration of the USA––committing an ongoing genocide.

Danielle Smith gov't fought for 2yrs to not release its Alberta pension plan survey results. It's finally out. Only 10% of people expressed support, 63% said don't. by Ed Journal's @matthewblack.ca ack , at long last. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

"Not for you." Palestinian citizens of Israel--21% of the population--are being excluded from bomb shelters on the basis of their ethnicity. This is the society the West will defend at all costs. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

“The only democracy in the Middle East” they keep telling us “Just because it’s Jews only doesn’t make it an apartheid state” they insist www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

TW: harm to children. My research into the effects of the UK government puberty-blocker ban has finally been published after peer-review. It details the severe harm being caused to young trans people & children by the Starmer government's puberty-blocker ban. Unlike Cass it is peer reviewed...

I’ve been asked what changed me. …it wasn’t someone yelling or being called a hypocrite or brainwashed... It was seeing the cracks for myself. It was the quiet discomfort that grew louder over time. The inconsistencies that refused to settle. The small moments that didn’t make sense until they did”
