BREAKING Danielle Smith says Alberta itself will be the proponent for a new pipeline to the BC coast.

@climatekeith.bsky.social, senior energy strategist with Greenpeace, said Smith is "starting a fight she knows she can't win so she can claim everyone is against Alberta when this economically unsound project doesn’t go ahead.“

Another day of reconciliation day is over, yet the children of Indigenous mothers continue to die from a poisoned drug supply. 🧡💔🧡

The days between my son's birth (Oct 6) and his death (Dec 19) are always the most difficult. I can already feel the intense grief settling in my bones. It's unrelenting. #grief #childloss

Today was a good day. It was a privilege to witness a very moving ceremony on Parliament Hill to raise the Survivors’ Flag, which honours brave survivors and the thousands of children who never returned home from residential schools. 🧡

Reason #9985482 why private profits have NO place in our public health care! And the scoops just keep coming. Last week, it was a worrying conflict of interest... this week it's TWO worrying conflicts of interest. Read what FOM had to say last Wednesday: www.friendsofmedicare.org/albertans_de...

‼️Journalists speaking out against media silence and muzzling on Palestinian genocide Feat. @smohyeddin.bsky.social @brishti.bsky.social @abihayward4.bsky.social @asadch.bsky.social www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

I can't see with all the smoke that this scandal is giving off. At what point does the Premier, finally, announce a public inquiry? This is not about restructuring health care in Alberta, it is corruption.

"Why would it bow to antidemocratic pressures by placing a professor on leave without their request, consent, or involvement? That any university would do this is beyond comprehension and is cause for alarm about the future of academic freedom in Canada."

That privatization is cheaper and more efficient may be one of the biggest swindles of the last 50 years. It’s a wealth transfer upwards. #neoliberalism #abpoli #ableg

Danielle Smith told us privatization would “save money” and “fix wait times.” Yet: Albertans are paying double. Hip Replacement Public ~$4,000 Private ~$8,300 Knee Replacement Public: ~$5,000 Private: ~$9,000 By @lindawalkerwrites.bsky.social #ABpoli lindawalkerwrites.substack.com/p/p3-youve-b...

"Homelessness is a structural issue caused by government, and ... what is being called disorder is public suffering," Larkin said. "Detaining someone against their will is not a response to public suffering." @candrugpolicy.bsky.social #CareIsNotCoerced

There’s nothing “home-like” about involuntary care.

“Alberta leads the country in the number of students showing up to school hungry, according to the Breakfast Club of Canada. Forty per cent of children in Alberta live in a food insecure household” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

“some recent provincial uses amount to little more than vicious attacks on minority rights, often in pursuit of dubious objectives. This has prompted opponents of the clause to argue that the courts should impose new limits on how it can be used.” #abpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

“The consumer price index rose nearly 21 per cent in Alberta during the last six years while teacher pay rose about 3.8 per cent” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

From the weekend, my Toronto Star op-ed on the notwithstanding clause. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

maybe we shouldn’t be allowed to have a clause that says “fuck your charter rights”, just a thought

Driving recklessly and endangering the lives of others is not freedom, just like hate speech is not free speech.

Any driver who has a problem with traffic cameras wants to put other people in danger without having to suffer any monetary consequences for their recklessness. It's really that simple.

Next time you think of buying an @edmontonoilers.bsky.social 50/50, think again. Katz does not need your charity. #yeg #hockey #Oilers

The charity in charge of the Edmonton Oilers 50/50 raffles paid more than $81 million over four years to Win50, a sports betting and gaming company controlled by the Oilers Entertainment Group, according to audited financial statements obtained by the IJF. #abpoli #hockey

Thus far, in governments' quest to protect kids from the increasingly-evident harms of social media, we've tried: -Befriending big tech -Sending sternly-worded letters -Pretending it's fine -Nothing None of it's worked! Let's try something else. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Meta & TikTok's finances + teen addiction are linked. The predictable product? Worsening teen mental health & growing -Anxiety -Depression -Low self esteem -Body dysmorphia -Eating disorders -Over-sexualization ...problems which overwhelm our health system

“It's not 50/50. It's 50% to the winner, 27.7% to the private company, Win50, and the charity at the end of the day gets around 20%.” The “staggering” amount paid to Win50 over the last 4 years raises a lot of questions about how the EOCF operates, Bahen said www.stalbertgazette.com/beyond-local...

We’re excited to launch our tool that helps you find out how the candidates running for mayor and city council in Edmonton align with you on the issues that matter most. blog.taprootpublishing.ca/2025/09/26/t... #yegvote #yegcc #yeg

A major U.S. lobby group backed by the likes of Amazon, Apple and Google is making its way to Canada, starting with hiring a Montreal-based director. Read the details in our report. #cdnpoli zurl.co/dpwVS

Let's be clear about what this is: The Alberta government is once again proposing to strip Albertans of their rights and autonomy. They went after trans kids, now the right to die. Will reproductive freedom be next?

#Yeg even if you know who to vote for, this survey is helpful to see how your views align with your preferred candidates. Well designed, easy to complete.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

It's time for polluters to Clean Up Their Mess Oct. 2 Virtual Town Hall - Alberta Oil & Gas Cleanup Crisis RSVP here: www.cleanupyourmess.ca/oct2-townhall #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli #YYC #YEG

The #UCP, Alberta's provincial government under #DanielleSmith is trying as hard as they can to ensure ultra rich oil companies can skip out on their promise to clean up their own mess, leaving landowners & taxpayers to pay BILLIONS. We say NO WAY. Join us. #PolluterPay #abpoli #ableg #yyc

Why does ADHD get missed in girls? “There’s no masking screening tool for ADHD,” says Ana-Maria Butura, an ADHD researcher who has conducted studies on masking. “The current screening and diagnostic tools were based on research that was done on boys.” thewalrus.ca/adhd-girls/

The fact that the UCP are going to stop tracking deaths of Albertans waiting for treatment, tells me that it's going to get worse I mean, why else would they stop counting 🤷🏼‍♂️ #ableg www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Let's take a look at this graph for the largest EDs in EDM Zone Can you spot the trend since 2022 under this govt? Key part is left hand side: this is for sickest pts requiring admission EIP = stranded admitted pt stuck in ED (cannot go upstairs to proper bed)🧵 1/6

If this graph is interpreted correctly, #DanielleSmith promised to fix healthcare in 90 days in Oct 2022 but instead oversaw an increase in the in-hospital bed wait time from Emergency, which ballooned from 13.4 hours to 36.3 hours. This outcome is a clear repudiation of her promise. #ABleg #ABpoli

The #UCP is causing anxiety for people with disabilities who face a $200 benefit cut by losing #AISH and being forced on the new ADAP benefit. Taking money from those already vulnerable. The Alberta model! Contact your MLA and tell them to scrap it. #ABpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...
