MY DUDES!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Heads up #ThirdThursday friends! In solidarity with the trans community & indeed every Calgarian rightly concerned with this provincial government's grotesque power-grab & trampling of our freedoms, we're postponing this event to go join the protest tomorrow from 5-7pm. Join us #YYC! We need you!

NO EXCUSES. THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE. YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY ***RIGHT NOW*** BY THE ALBERTA GOVERNMENT. IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STAND. McDougall Centre from 5-7 pm. it's time to STAND UP or get rolled over #NotwithstandingClause #CharterRightsAndFreedoms #yyc #abpoli #ableg

Would argue it has more to do with a feeling of entitlement to power, personally. Freedoms for me but not for thee appears to be their marching cry on repeat

Agreed. Completely messed up.

Did You Know? Sex-based discrimination in the Indian Act divides families, disrupts traditions, and limits access to essential rights and entitlements. See how this impacts First Nations women and communities across Canada. BC First Nations Perspectives and Positions www.ubcic.bc.ca/bc_first_nat...

Never forget, car dependency is the opposite of freedom. What’s more “free” than cars, you ask? Choices.

@djclimenhaga.bsky.social: Trying to challenge the UCP government’s misuse of the Charter’s notorious notwithstanding clause may be a waste of time and money, but using the UCP’s ridiculous recall legislation as a strategy against the perpetrators is clearly rattling Premier Smith. #abpoli

This seems like good news... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Witness

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

This is super true in #Alberta too.

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers? For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

They are at over 26k people in 24 hours who have answered they would support or participate in a general strike, and the word "none" in the word cloud answering "if you belong to a union, which one?" is now second only to the ATA. #alberta

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

Now at 10k. #alberta

It has been an hour since the survey was released. I can't stop watching but I have to get back to my tasks for the day. Zoomed in on the "are you a union member" word cloud. Appears many are not.

worth pointing out that this is more... way more... than climate orgs have been asked to meet with gov't. It's a lopsided playing field with the destroyers getting the ear of gov't, and the protectors pushed off to the side.

Once you take the survey you can refresh the results page and watch the answers roll in So far, they are adding 100 people who would support a general strike & about 75 who would actively partake about every 10 min #alberta People are talking General Strike. Are you in or out? 🗳️ actn.et/8EKrrOi0

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Well this stinks to high heaven. “Wylie is also charged with checking the books for the massive dissolution of Alberta Health Services.”

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works. I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Wherein the National Post publishes such shit that they *even they* don't have anyone brave enough to put their names on it. This story, which is full of misconceptions, leading accusations, and blatant lies, is simply signed "The National Post".

Had to put down a dog today, who was my friend at work. He was a lovely pup whose owners couldnt afford the vet bills when he got attacked. I came home very sad, but its hard to stay sad when you get love like this

In 100 per cent unsurprising news, the bank that supposedly pulled funding from a Richmond project because of the Cowichan court decision says it definitely did not pull funding because of the Cowichan court decision www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/cou...

Mayor Wilson announced police will begin citing homeless Portlanders for declining shelter, starting this weekend. The move comes as 15,000 homeless residents in the county are set to lose food assistance, and service providers say the criminal justice system only makes things worse.

Anyone following #Alberta #Canada closely will recognise the "Compassionate Care" Act, which allows a single lawyer (no judge) to approve scooping people off the streets if they are "appearing to be unwilling to provide for the neccessities of life". For 53 days (add them up). Without treatment.

... following Trump’s “Ending Crime & Disorder on America’s Streets” which threatened to withhold funding from states/cities unless they criminalized homeless people camping on streets & ordered the AG to expand the use of involuntary civil commitment for adults experiencing homelessness.

Stop funding private schools with public money! I’m now a canvasser and will be out in my ‘hood collecting signatures

Minus the institutionalized racism. But yeah.

Good read from @aleach.ca on the oil market and the case—or lack thereof—for a new pipeline. Puts some good context into the talk of Keystone XL revival or Ford's west-east pipeline study.

If you’re searching for an env. book club & reading community, join us this Saturday for part II of our climate conversations series Bring a friend or share with your network to anyone who may find this of interest 🌎💚 We will be discussing the book Is A River Alive? by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

The UCP's pandorra's recall box is now well and truly blown open. Well done @jennyyeremiy.bsky.social and others. #ableg #abpoli

Sigh. Yep. See also, hosting the Premier of #Alberta repeatedly

🤢

Wherein our illustrious Minister of Education clearly supports the concept and importance of recall provisions for elected officials. @jennyyeremiy.bsky.social

They invoked notwithstanding the Charter, the Alberta Bill of Rights, and the Alberta Human Rights Acts. #alberta

"If they can't miss work without getting fines due to this legislation the rest of us will stand up for them" The world is a better place when someone has your back.

Are we focusing on the wrong EVs? @albertkoehl.bsky.social looks at the history of electric vehicles in Toronto - beginning with some of the first cars - noting that streetcars and subways have been providing EV transportation all along (and remember trolley buses?). spacing.ca/toronto/2025...

If you are in #Alberta, and you aren't a poli-sci geek, you need to read this.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Just a reminder… While Smith and Lagrange are talking about the biggest factors influencing health outcomes and why they’re profitizing Alberta’s healthcare… The #1 factor that determines health outcomes is made worse by the policy. It’s poverty. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Smith / #UCP: We can't afford another $2B over 4yrs. Public - that's $500M / yr. Smith / #UCP - So? Public - You put $500M / yr into PRIVATE schools. Smith/ #UCP - were hoping you wouldn't notice that. We noticed. Put tax dollars into PUBLIC schools. #ableg #abed #abpoli #cndpoli

A dirty deal's being cooked up between the Alberta government & #BigOil so they can stick their MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR cleanup tab on YOU the taxpayer while a grotesquely complicit #AER watches & shrugs. Here's some of the people saying HELL NO #abpoli #PolluterPays www.podcastics.com/episode/3890...
