There’s 237 comments in 5 hrs and almost all of them are victim blaming. 🤦‍♂️

Canada's economy added 60K jobs in September while unemployment stayed flat #Canada #cdnpoli Economists were expecting only a modest gain in jobs www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Exactly this right here 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Republicans are so concerned about the shutdown that they all went out of town on vacation.

A report commissioned by Alberta's electric system operator shows big investors' faith in the province as a stable and predictable place to invest "has been significantly undermined in recent years." That's especially true when it comes to renewables. #ableg #cdnpoli thenarwhal.ca/restructured...

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

According to Nutlick, we can’t count the 2025 economic numbers against Trump because this is really Biden’s economy until 2026. Does that mean the mess Biden inherited from Trump and all the bad numbers from 2021 counts towards Trump’s record? And the 2017 numbers are Obama’s?

Yes, we fucking can. We can afford Canada Post, we can afford universal healthcare and prescriptions, we can afford free tuition. You're told we can't "afford it" because industry wants all the money you pay in tax going to them instead, and our politicians keep handing it over.

Even if there stores within a 15 minute walk, people might not walk to it if they're afraid to bring heavy stuff home. I reviewed a wheeled grocery bag from Costco youtube.com/shorts/hy_jp...

This absolute willful destruction of Alberta's healthcare system would have been the end of any other Alberta government But the UCP has MLAs who only answer to the party, not the people And a premier who engages in propaganda to stay in power #ableg

The entire UCP has sold their souls! There is not one ethical bone between them all.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Alberta private clinics adviser worked for firm vying for contract, confidential report says | Globe and Mail #ableg #abpoli #abhealth #corruptcare https://www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/28dd0116384ca82370a524cd1eac7260fa2c0b45afb794f4ef20852243343431/MLG4FW6NLZBKZL5THS7BIOMFRI/

Racial-hatred and xenophobia is official US government policy. Let that sink in. This is also the foundation that the UCP wants to build a sovereign Alberta from. "Whiteness" is not a culture. Our countries in North America were created through the diversity and inclusion of many. #abpoli #racism

When the Right lies about the Left, it's called "Free Speech" but when the Left tells the truth about the Right, it's called "Inciting Violence."

Montreal should be pitching hard to be the “temporary” location for the UN while the US imploded and then we can just keep it afterwards.

With the Globe breaking new details on “CorruptCare” and a preliminary report due today, the NDP are already predicting the report won’t be anywhere good enough and are calling for a public inquiry. And they’re right. Albertans deserve a public inquiry. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

As I was saying…

This announcement didn't receive a lot of media coverage, but its a few million dollars very well spent to improve transit and access to opportunities for rural Canadians. #alberta #abpoli prairie.transportaction.ca/news/transit...

Excellent article on the costs of cutting transit funding. The correct approach to bridging the rural-urban divide is to provide public transport for all communities, so nobody is left behind. Canada's Rural Transit Solutions Fund is a step in the right direction. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

When I have more time I'll have to go through this list and check off all of the policies Danielle Smith and the UCP are trying to implement here in Alberta.

There’s a group of folks that are super Take Back Alberta adjacent and are “definitely not coordinated despite all of the evidence to the contrary”… Anyways… Here’s a great article from The Sprawl you should send to everyone you know. #yyc #abpoli www.sprawlcalgary.com/cbe-election...

Toronto Police are targeting cyclists for minor HTA infractions. If you are stopped by police be safe, state your name & address truthfully, then contest the ticket online. Do not to provide your driver's license because through police error you may if convicted receive demerit points 1/2

Canada has some catching up to do with Germany and other peer countries and trading partners who have built thousands of miles of high speed rail, so we're pleased that our government is finally making investment in passenger rail infrastructure a priority. www.transportaction.ca/topics/inter...

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre. In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

On top of census data on commuting and regional travel surveys (covering other trips too), bike counters on key routes are a good way to understand cycling patterns and volumes in your city. Bonus points if they have a display! This one has recorded 450,000 bikes since the beginning of the year.

Canada should restore daily train service across the country so cities like Portage do not become just places you fly over. portageonline.com/articles/por...

Unfortunately, it's just federal taxes, and everyone across Canada pays them. Alberta received 8 billion from Ottawa in Federal transfers in 2024-25. If we look at our neighbours, SK received 2 billion, and BC received 9 billion. Do we really need the equalization transfer?

Meanhwile, in Alberta... People are literally asking municipalities to PROTECT them from Danielle Smith's bigoted policies. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

We Need Radar Back #YYCcc Disobey the Unfit Smith & the UCP. Martin recently shared on X (formerly Twitter) that one officer stopped five vehicles travelling between 160 km/h and 195 km/h on the ring road during a single 10-hour shift on Wednesday night. #UnethicalCorruptParty #Freedumb

It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence. Your ethos means nothing if your praxis contradicts it.

The far right in the US (Canada and UK not far behind) has reached a state of delusion where physical evidence (e.g., Trump's signature on the birthday card) is fake and lack of evidence (e.g., "trans ideology" (omg wtf even does that mean) on ammo) is incontrovertible.

Its almost like he has a contact in the american republican party who's telling him what to say.

Alberta refuses to sign up for it. It offers free coverage for contraception and certain diabetes medications. Universal eligibility. www.canada.ca/en/health-ca... British Columbia, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, and the Yukon are covered. edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/09/09/p... #Alberta #abpoli

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didn’t advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.

Danielle Smith would rather pick fights than let Albertans afford a dentist. It doesn’t make any sense. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The question the media won't ask Conservatives, gnashing of teeth, is what do they want to do about rising political violence? Conservatives' answer is either more violence but against people they perceive as their political enemies, or nothing. Meanwhile, we want less violence and gun control.

I hadn't. Burn forever.

I’m officially scared. Because of this ONE tweet being afraid of potential reverberations of right wing political violence from this — something many others have said — I’m now the first result on a website called “charliesmurderers.” This is putting me in genuine danger. What the fuck do I do

Right now MAGA Republicans are not mourning Charlie Kirk, they are not condemning gun violence, they are not admitting they created the monster that was Charlie or the access to the gun that killed him. What they are doing is strategizing how to benefit from his death.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

“Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week.” City engineer credits lower speed limits and smart design. I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero
