The tradition of the Fourth Estate is rooted in the idea that journalism serves as a check-and-balance on power in a democracy We need to move away from the idea of "The Journalist" as an impartial observer eternally bearing witness without ever taking a position on anything they actually witness

Excellent discussion. For those who missed it and are on the area… we’re in Vegreville at 2pm today! Edmonton tomorrow! Spread the word and please come on out! www.friendsofmedicare.org/urgentconver...

While the Premier is laser focused on fomenting an anti-immigrant racist distraction, real Albertans are suffering as she ignores HC improvements. Currently in AB, shared with me: "Partner's best friend's mom is in Fairview Hospital.. critically ill.. needs transport out... 1/3

"Racism is immoral. It is poison" Jason Kenney is sounding off at the right-wing website Juno News for platforming a white nationalist The white nationalist who advocates mass deportations is causing a rift between Alberta's former premier and a right-wing outlet run by his own former spokesperson

When asked if she supported the recent post from Bruce "Spanky" McAllister where he condemned immigration from non-JudeoChristian countries... Smith blamed immigration for the failures in healthcare, education and social supports. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

5 new aircraft after mass cuts since 2019. Wonder if the increased capacity beats out where we were pre UCP cuts :/ doubt it. Bombers are good. What's better imo is ramping up the forest clean up in the spring, enhanced controlled burns and involving indigenous communities more.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

Oh fun! The UCP’s latest push poll/survey comes with an email when you’re done, complete with an attack on the media! What’s that a sign of again? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

New in PN: "Just making s**t up" — @volts.wtf sounds off on EPA “How the f**k are they gonna do it? If you can get the Court to rule carbon is not a public health danger, it'll mark the point at which they've abandoned all pretense, bc that’s just a flat out lie” www.publicnotice.co/p/david-robe...

Can confirm.

Imagine this scenario. You're getting beaten by your father. The neighbourhood finds out... they decide starving your household will stop him from beating you. Instead he takes your remaining food and beats you more. That's sanctions. #cndpoli #iran

edmonton.citynews.ca... Let me be very clear: there are NO NEW Emerg docs to “recruit”. If govt can get their act together, the role would be existing EM docs doing extra shifts. 1/4

omfg the UCP would LITERALLY rather spend money on actual bull shit, instead of on solar and wind power. "$10 million will be used to convert cattle waste into renewable natural gas and soil additives" - Calgary Herald She belongs in a padded room. #UCP #yeg #abpoli #cndpoli #ableg

Social media companies are suppressing terms like “Epstein” and “ICE” and “voting” because they don’t want you thinking about those things. Like and share everything you see.

Fantastic overview of the health care system and how it compares to others. UCP don't really look at evidence before they do stuff, do they? #abpoli #ucp

If this site is any measure... Instead of demanding change. Americans are going to vote in another empty suit that will sell them out even more to the corporate class in 2028 just because their foreign policy came home to roost. Times like these make me think Trotsky was right 🚬🫩

Farscape was so ahead of its time. Incredibly rewatchable

Shooting dozens of rounds of tear gas and using pepper spray and their batons, the SPVM violently pushed back more than a thousand people who showed up this afternoon to send a message to GardaWorld over their contracts with ICE at their offices and training center in Ville Saint-Laurent. (thread)

You oppose the Russian government because you're a NATO-loving liberal and imperialist apologist. I oppose the Russian government because I'm a Marxist-Leninist who wants to see the return of the Soviet Union. You and I are not the same.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) told Drop Site’s Julian Andreone that the Trump admin. has provided Netanyahu w/ a “blank check” in failing to enforce the ceasefire in Gaza or push back on new West Bank annexation measures. He warned Israeli officials are openly working to make a Palestinian state...

Sanders: The other day, Trump said, “We are living in the best economy in the history of the world.” Well, he’s right — for him and his billionaire friends, he’s exactly right. But not for ordinary Americans.

Told you he’d just go back to telling poor people they’re stupid for not knowing how good they have it.

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050?

Solidarity with @progintl.bsky.social as they embark on a life-saving mission to break Trump’s siege of Cuba. It’s time for our own government to follow their example and send the humanitarian aid that the Cuban people desperately need.

Al Jazeera has released its investigation revealing that 2,842 Palestinians have evaporated since October 2023 at the hands of Israel, leaving behind no remains other than blood spray or small fragments of flesh.

NEWS: Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler has RESIGNED after newly released emails exposed a years-long personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — including advising him on handling sex crime accusations, media scrutiny, and accusers.

🚨 ICE is authorized to covertly infiltrate and interact with social media accounts under a new program called "masked engagement," per documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

I posted on *three platforms* just over *20 minutes* after Radio-Canada first misidentified this innocent trans woman as a mass shooter on national television in a 6:00pmET broadcast. I tagged Radio Canada and Patrice Roy. They didn't issue a correction until after 2:00pmET today. Unacceptable.

So I think it's pretty irresponsible for CBC to have a banner saying what's in this photo. Why does this information need to be constantly repeated right now? Especially when that community is actively being targeted by hate communities? #cndpoli #TumberRidge #bcpoli
