I believe our Eastern Slopes should remain STRONGly natural and FREE of coal mines. #RecallThemAll

LET'S DO THIS! #ableg #cdnpoli If you're sitting in your urban home somewhere 300+ km away from the Rockies, thinking why should I care? Just remember that ALL OF US get our drinking water from the Rockies and that selenium poisoning is associated with the mountain coal mines and cannot be undone.

Coming to a place near you.

I will literally run to sign this petition.

Make the announcement and a bunch of us will canvas for the idea. Clean potable water is critical in AB where fresh water in the south is already in limited supply. And it will get worse. CGY itself already w river water supplies edgy Nov 2025. AB shld value water highly!

A first for Alberta - a legislative petition, not just a policy petition, demanding the prohibition of all new coal mines (including Grassy) on the eastern slopes of the Rockies. Way to go Corb. #ableg #abpoli @cpawsnab.bsky.social @cpawssab.bsky.social @albertawilderness.bsky.social

No Kings in Alberta.

I don't think he will have any shortage of help.

Delighted to see this. Time for the environment to ride the wave of recalls and citizen initiatives! This is the first legislative proposal (rather than a policy or constitutional proposal) under the Citizen Initiative Act. Bonne chance & lots of hard work ahead. #ableg #abpoli

Perhaps Mr Wylie successor as Auditor General can now look at how much public money the GoA coal settlements wasted. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Let’s be clear on this: Danielle Smith is ripping up the Charter of Rights & Freedoms to take away rights from the most vulnerable people in Alberta. And she’s doing it to protect herself from the militant wing of her own party, nothing more. Hope it’s all she’s ever remembered for in the long run

The only rights that the UCP seem to care about, courtesy of their DM of Justice, Malcolm Lavoie, are the so-called "property rights" of Australian coal companies. In other words the non-constitutionally protected corporate property rights over real constitutionally protected human rights. #abpoli

There are few things that Trump says that are shocking to me, or anyone else stuck in this warped doom loop that is paying attention to American politics in 2025. But Trump’s remarks today demonizing murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi and defending the Saudi crown prince were an exception.

This is absolutely unacceptable. Only caring about your own rights is exactly how you lose them. These bastards are only warming up, by starting with the most feared.

A dark day in #AB! Using the notwithstanding clause against #trans kids is an admission the the legislation is unconstitutional. To my family this is personal. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ABpoli #TotalRecall #ABResist 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

The 2025 fall session of the Alberta legislature will come to be known, infamously, as the Notwithstanding Session. I hope that it will also give rise to what will be known as the Notwithstanding General Strike. The Charter shd protect the rights of minorities not the bigotry of the majority #abpoli

I am pretty sure that when Merv Leitch and Peter Lougheed first created the notwithstanding clause, they didn’t mean it to be deployed to bully and oppress literal school children. #ableg #abpoli #TransRightsAreHumanRights #Alberta #notwithstandingclause

I knew that this day was coming. The UCP had been warning for months that they were going to take away the rights of transgender people (not just children but adults too). I thought I was prepared. But I am still very angry that it has happened.

Desperate to hide what they’ve become, UCP goes to court to stop MLAs from calling themselves ‘progressive conservatives’ albertapolitics.ca/2025/11/desp...

Rick Mercer: Can everyone, including Premier Smith (altho' he didn't name her), just shut up for a moment about their "grievances" with Canada. Amen. #abpoli #cdnpoli @about 14.00

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Update: Both CBSA and Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree are refusing to show any accountability for the Government of Canada detaining and interrogating a 95 year old Princeton law professor in what appears to be a politically motivated abuse of power

You pay fuel duty. Why don’t billionaires? This week, we launched WeWingAnyCar.com to help you qualify for the same tax breaks that private jets get. Because tax loopholes shouldn’t just be for billionaires. They’re for everyone.

What the hell is going on when Canadian border officials detain and question a prominent US academic and international lawyer going to attend and speak at to speak at a forum on human rights violations against Palestinians. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Loved this event & hearing what made a change for artists. I think it was Mallory who talked about the loss of a warbler's song. My loss is the loss of the nighthawk's call in the Parson area of the Columbia valley - the loss of nesting habitat. Such a haunting call & whirring of wings.

Since everyone is rightly focused on the Epstein files, now would be a good time to remind you: Child marriage is legal in 34 states across the US. That’s almost 70% of this nation. How about we end that?

The permitting provision of the Species at Risk Act (s 73) is the species equivalent of the Charter's notwithstanding clause. It takes away the rights of listed species. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new. This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hubris: definition, exaggerated pride & dangerous over-confidence. Example: the UCP/GoA decision last week to deem the Upper Smoky (part of the Peace Basin) to be part of the South Saskatchewan for land use planning (LUP) purposes. Incredibly arrogant and offensive. #ableg #abpoli @albertandp.ca

www.cbc.ca/news/cana... Congrats Alberta! We helped Canada win this prestigious distinction. Our Prov. govt has single handedly ushered this in... and yet we now have our own Health Minstry for Primary and Preventative Health Services... How's that working out AB?

From the man who gets paid to golf and who sleeps while on duty.

My read of ASIRT's report confirms a clear breach of the duties associated with public office - see 18 -23 The report's conclusions are unsustainable. A witness is allowed to say (at 12) I do not recall the exact reason I searched Philip’s name but it wd have only been done for a lawful purpose. LOL

The news that Lethbridge police got away with stalking, harassing and threatening Phillips because the chance of conviction was too low is an indictment of the entire justice system in Alberta.

Hooray! The Aussie Juice Media comes to Canada! Whether you're already familiar with their wonderful satirical takes or not, you shd take a look at this if you have Qs about the claimed benefits of LNG exports from the west coast, or, more generally, build-baby-build legislation. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Working alongside #Albertans is truly fulfilling as we heed the call to action in Alberta. The recall process empowers us to hold our government accountable. Stay engaged with #OperationTotalRecall. operationtotalrecall.ca "Words can bring #Hope, but it takes #Action to drive real Change!" #abpoli
