“Court documents obtained by The Tyee show lawyers for Election Commissioner Paula Hale are scheduled to be in an Edmonton court on Monday in an attempt to gain an injunction against the Alberta Prosperity Project, or APP.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/04...

JUST IN: Two days after saying the U.S. would NOT renew sanctions waivers on Russian or Iranian oil, Bessent’s Treasury quietly extended a license allowing Russian oil transactions for another month.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying them for sex. I feel this needs to be emphasized much more than it is.

Hey #YYC… Save the date. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Baking set to opera. Found this weirdly satisfying.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES, VIDEOS AND RECORDINGS‼️🤬😡👇👇 www.threads.com/@loveydovey7...

What a waste of time and money - and that's just in airing this idea. Fuck right off with this bigotry, signed a cishet woman in AB #neverucp #abpoli #cdnpoli #transrightsarehumanrights

Lotsa DM’s asking what people can do to hold Smith to account… Anyways, on an unrelated note, her radio show is back Saturday at 10 AM. Well just uh… We’ll just leave this here. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Show them this too while you're at it

There is no evidence Chinese investors caused the orphan well problem – more likely they helped the gas industry with capital that kept it afloat for a few more years. See the great recent reporting from Sharon Riley: bsky.app/profile/then... and the 2017-2018 reporting of Jeffrey Jones. [7]

There was a brief discussion of orphan wells (actually wells, pipelines, and facilities, but often shortened to just ‘wells’) in the Alberta legislature on Wednesday. (docs.assembly.ab.ca/LADDAR_files..., see pages 1475-1476) I’ve got some notes on the discussion. [1]

Reason number 39 Alberta doesn’t have an advantage.

Huh. Albertans are the least satisfied in the country. Is that because half of us are aggrieved and the other half are incensed?

No they have not.

Witness breathtaking drone footage capturing the fiery heart of a volcanic eruption. A new era of vulcanology is here, revealing nature's power like never before.

Trump didn’t “think it was a doctor helping someone.” The image was clearly meant to depict Trump as a Christ-like figure. And even worse: Graham isn’t just defending it, he’s laundering it. This is what moral collapse looks like.👇

Over 40,000 people are currently incarcerated for Cannabis. Not a SINGLE Epstein files co-conspirator has been arrested.

Lies from a "religious leader" to protect a corrupt president.

Asked about the electoral boundaries decision, Smith talked about the importance of quality representation in rural Alberta, citing her own communities. She described the "midsize" Medicine Hat and the "large community" of Brooks. The Hat is over 3 times the size of Brooks.

The conservative party is touted as the party of fiscal responsibility. That is an incorrect stereotype. Danielle Smith, Scott Moe and Doug Ford love their perks! Canadians are scrambling to stay afloat, and these people pamper and enrich themselves. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Looks like Rob is back to demonizing journalists for telling the truth. Which is a hallmark of what kind of government again? Emma Graney has been covering Alberta and Alberta Politics for a decade. Alberta is lucky to have journos like her. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Smith on why she's introducing private health care to Alberta... She's clear the biggest reason is because she want's to remove "Gatekeepers" (so physicians) from medical testing. What could go wrong? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Fact.

We should be learning from other countries...

He’s lost his damn mind. Also, if he thinks Iran will “never close the Strait again” he’s delusional. He’s acting like the war is over because it’s back to status quo…ish. Still haven’t solved uranium or missiles. All we’ve done is get the Strait re-opened.

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks. The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

If you are worried that China is beating us, then take a look at this. China is investing heavily in renewable energy. The USA is fighting all forms of green energy. Reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and diversifying our energy sources could help us get ahead. It could prevent wars over oil.

“Bill 11… allows physicians to treat patients in the public health care system while also charging them fees, creating a two-tiered system for those who can pay and those who cannot.” Over 50 organizations have written to Ottawa to urge enforcement of the Canada Health Act.

Good! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Elections are about people choosing their representatives, not politicians choosing their voters. Yet that is what the UCP is planning. It is planning to deliberately disenfranchise urban voters. Red Deer and Lethbridge would not exist as autonomous political entities. Calgary/Edmonton hurt too.

There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!

They are literally making it up as they go along. When they don't like the outcome, the Smith government rigs the process. It's a worrisome pattern for those who care about procedural fairness and institutional forebearance. You know, real conservatives.

Over on Twitter, Greg Clark, former leader of the Alberta Party and Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission committee member shared his thoughts on the UCP's failure to act on the recommendations of the Commission. He was one of the most reasonable politicians I've ever worked with. Worth a look.

So they rejected an independent recommendation for the electoral boundaries. Now they will strike a panel of ALL UCP members to re-draw their own boundaries. Another sleezy move by our dishonest government. UCP are a disgrace

Welcome to Berta, while the UCP is busy stealing all our tax dollars, ruining our healthcare on purpose, trying to rig elections and push for a separatist vote they also have time to plan for genital inspectors in our public washrooms. Chelsea Petrovic looks exactly like the cunt she is.

How do UCP members deal with long haul flights? Do they just hold it in so they don’t have to sully themselves in a unisex bathroom? And at home I can only assume they have his and hers bathrooms and require a cheek swab from visitors before directing them to the facilities?

The people in this riding could have elected articulate, supersmart, experienced Kevin Van Tighem, who over his career has met countless bears and dealt with many hazards. Instead they voted for someone who’s scared to go into a bathroom.

Wow 🤯 What a great waste of money 🤦🏻‍♂️

Just admit y'all made a mistake already.

From the DM’s… The UCP are so committed to removing bias from the education curriculum… They’ve introduced legislation to ensure pro-industry bias is introduced into the education curriculum. Complete with a text campaign. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
