For anyone not in Alberta or not paying attention, girls playing sports in school now have to prove they were born female to play sports. And can be challenged by anyone at anytime and must prove they are female to keep playing. This doesn’t apply to boys. What a dystopian hellscape

I'm not a member of any party, but I very much hope the NDP become a true progressive alternative to the centre right and far right options that dominate our broken elections. Avi would take them in that direction. www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Please call the premiere office and voice your support for speed cameras today. I've been ticketed by them and still support them, they make such a difference in our communities. They've slowed down significant speeding on our street. correspondence.premier.gov.on.ca/EN/feedback/...

Oh my god. This is heartbreaking.

CNN has identified at least 100 U.S. citizen children who have been separated from their parents after ICE deported them - including newborns. As a parent I cannot imagine the horror of being separated from my child, but that trauma is even more acute for the innocent children left behind.

huh, the entire alberta energy grid was free for 16 hours yesterday wind power was overproducing, so it just... goes to zero apparently

It's four in the morning, the end of December

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

For all of our Canadian superiority mentality, we really just don't get how far as a country we are down the slippery slope. Just because we might be (arguable) better off than some countries in terms of the slide to fascism, doesn't mean we get to celebrate it, its a constant struggle and battle

I think we all need to be insufferable guys about this when we're up for it just like we need to go into full Karen mode a lot these days which is not how I imagined fighting fascism but here we are. Things are weird in a bad way. (I usually express shock people are using chatGPT.)

Again: The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power. (@taxgreed.bsky.social)

I think I just has to say, out loud, how deeply I object to this. Hell ass kings.

I loved THE WELKIN, flaws and all. What a play. What an ensemble. Great final production by outgoing Soulpepper AD Weyni Mengesha. www.goaheadsumi.com/review-the-w...

Massive anti hate crowd in the pits. Small Canada first group is on the run.

I....no words. Monsters.

Here’s the result of the #UCP BS policy targeting girls who just want to play sports. 10 girls who didn’t get their info in on time were turned away. 3 other schools’ girls soccer teams had to withdraw; the whole season is now in jeopardy. Even so, boys still get to play. You suck Dani. #abpoli

On September 1, 2025, we lost a true legend. Graham Greene, Oneida from Six Nations Reserve, walked on at the age of 73. Over the span of more than 175 acting credits, he gave us characters that were unforgettable, complex, and real. redpopnews.com/remembering-... #redpopnews

Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

Message from an Alberta teacher: "I've been told that kids aren't allowed to bring books from home. No free choice reading. No silent reading time or listening to reading. No library time until books are catalogued and deemed appropriate. Please contact your MLA." @daniellesmithab.bsky.social

Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past two decades studying the environmental causes of autism. Under the leadership of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has promised to find a cause for the condition, her entire division was cut.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Let's be generous, here, and assume that by the solar system Altman wants to put the sphere outside the orbit of Neptune, and we'll just exclude the kuiper belt entirely. That would be a sphere with a diameter of 6 billion miles. Let's assume that it has the thickness of an eggshell: .3mm thick.

"An entry-level Air Canada flight attendant working full-time earns C$1,952 ($1,414.60) per month before taxes"

88% of Canadians support Air Canada flight attendants, new poll confirms cupe.ca/88-canadians...

The only thing I want to be hearing from the news about the Air Canada lockout of its flight attendants is that a new hire right now makes about $1952/month. AirCanada who have had record growth over the last 20 years, has offered to increase that to $2108/month. Both numbers are below minimum wage.

Negotiations over a global plastic pollution treaty collapsed on Friday as countries failed to bridge wide gaps on whether the world should limit plastic manufacturing and restrict the use of harmful plastic chemicals.

this too! i had a disorienting experience recently where a person my age talked about relying on the google AI answer to determine that edamame was indeed to be eaten like sugar peas (it’s very not) and they were surprised when I uh, laughed (sorry!) and asked why in gods name they trusted the AI
