Busted On My Birthday is the name of my Prince cover band.

Justice Gaston of the ABKB has delivered a blockbuster of a judgment in the Rosebud Racing Track case. The decision deals with a bunch of important things incl: the implications of SARA critical habitat designations for provincial decision makers, the precautionary principle ... 1/ #abpoli #ableg

This is awesome. I've long been a fan of Marc Miller's subtle intelligence but I especially love this clip, where he points out exactly where Thomas is trying to go with her question. I hope she choked on the "MS". Lethbridge can do better.

The no-coal petition launches next Friday at Nikka Yuko. Please get involved. I have written letters to the premier’s office, Brian Jean, the southern MLAs, the federal environment minister, and Elizabeth May. I’ve heard NOTHING. Let’s get it to referendum.

#Lethbridge: just in case you’re looking for a handsome ginger…

Alberta as a self-absorbed teenager...

I’d like another cup of coffee but am currently covered in dawgs. I need a butler.

I don’t want to alarm anyone but the soil conditions are at least 3 weeks early. I fear for the hardy trees.

To be fair, I'm sure the aroma was exotic.

I honestly don’t think there is anything better for the 50ish soul than hanging out with engaged seniors. The (big) kids are alright.

Widdowson showed up at the University of Lethbridge yesterday. The videos of the protest are epic.

First, the UCP said there was an “election integrity crisis," which led to a voter ID law. Then a “national unity crisis” → a sovereignty referendum. Now a “crisis of confidence” in the courts → defunding judges. There is no evidence of these crises. The UCP is trying to manufacture them.

Finally. REJECTION.

Please read this letter. Please pass it to everyone you know. The AB government is out of control.

Manitoba’s Hudson Bay region is home to beluga whales, polar bears and a rich mix of other marine species. The biodiverse area will receive provincial and federal funding to study its conservation potential, amid a push for economic development thenarwhal.ca/manitoba-hud...

Alberta's distinct culture by the UCP: WASPy, racist, NIMBY (but pipelines everywhere else) "cowboys". 🙄

Like you, I’m Albertan. I know the sentiment. I’ve felt it myself. But the only people I know who have said “let’s have a serious conversation about separating” are separatists.

Canadians, Please consider signing this petition asking for renewable energy to be funded equally well as fossil fuels via subsidies. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

What was that about governments and teats, exactly?

Calgary Stampede security ejected PressProgress Alberta reporter @stephenmag.bsky.social after Alberta separatist leader Jeffrey Rath walked out of an interview Stephen had questioned Rath's claim that Mark Carney was "threatening war on the United States" and invoked "Article 5 of the NATO treaty"

Six weeks and 10 lbs later…

It will never cease to amaze me how conservatives constantly moan about freeloading public servants, then park their own useless representatives in political seats for DECADES (I wonder if Rachel Thomas got her 10y pin when she was re-elected?)

This should be read by everyone in Alberta. Please send it to friends and family. Here’s a quick overview of the article, reviewing the UCP’s push to ensure a separatist referendum gets through all the guardrails: “There is only one word to describe this: anti-democratic.”

“Treaty rights are constitutionally protected, and Blackfoot territory is not a provincial asset subject to redefinition through political movements. Decisions about the future of Blackfoot Nations will be made by Blackfoot Nations” blackfootconfederacy.ca/statement-fr...

Oh. Gutted. Put a flower brooch on my bag today for one of the Greatest, ever, Canadians.

“The premier has been very clear — she supports a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada.”” “Sovereign” = “possessing supreme or ultimate power…acting…without outside interference” (Oxford Dictionary online)

Liberal Leader Mark Carney, viewed more positively than negatively in ALBERTA. Yes, the province consumed with a petition to leave Canada largely because of the Liberals. Abacus poll:

If you haven’t seen Head Smashed in, you should go. Then head on down and take a cruise thru Castle Parks (Waterton is obvs). Stay in Lethbridge and hit the Nikka Yuko and go for a long walk at the Helen Schuler. If you have time, drive down to Writing-On-Stone. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Alberta UCP again standing up only for owners and investors in corporate real estate by putting the ENTIRE weight of a solution on workers. The world has changed. UCP again skates to where the puck was. Seriously, though, what numbers support this government anymore? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

EDMONTON – A leader of Alberta’s separatist movement says some members of Premier Danielle Smith’s United Conservative Party caucus have signed the petition looking to force a vote on the province quitting Canada.

Danielle Smith is a traitor as much as the rest of them.

Dear Canada, We are sorry Danielle’s “million” lunatic fringe separatists are controlling even the Canadian media conversation. We don’t know what to do with them either. Warmly, Millions More Canadian Albertans

This is the best in a while. Join in, Canucks.

Separatists in league not just with Trump, MAGA, and white nationalists, but also…RUSSIA. This just gets more and more outrageous.

The AB curriculum allots the most instructional time to English Language Arts. Also, ELA and social studies have hugely extensive learning outcomes. This government is continuing their attempt to erode the importance of liberal arts. I guess they want a computer to do their thinking for them.

A new report says Alberta has lost its status as a leader in attracting renewable energy investment — and provincial policies are to blame. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-rene...

Viersen, like his MAGA peers, is protecting hateful Christianity (which isn't really Christianity, btw) and promoting ethnocentric racism in the guise of "free speech". I am so sick of this shit. Look in the mirror. Try your "free speech" there. How does it feel? Free? Loving? Christian?

Gutless moron. Can you spread the word. I’m preparing a massive sign for this, we will have laughs on top 😍😍😍

Looking for a tangible way to fight back against the separatists right now? Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation has stepped up to be the pointy end of the legal spear, but those battles aren’t free. You can help them fight back for all of us! #abpoli #cdnpoli www.gofundme.com/f/sturgeon-l...

Three months ago, Curtis Yarvin whined that Trump was moving too slow to punish his enemies. It seems the state is heeding his advice. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Canada's exports to China: 3.9% of overall exports. America's exports to China: 7.1% of overall exports. Kindly fuck off, Donald.

Whoa. Being on my Bsky newsgroup this morning is, literally, like standing in the street and watching several simultaneous bus crashes. I’m going for a walk in the snow with my pup.

Alright intelligent, middle-aged beeps: what’s your fave national wealth management? I have a friend looking to move from the AB Treasury Branch for no reasons whatsoever.

This is deranged & unhinged. To stop China from ravaging & devouring our economy, Trump threatens to … ravage & devour our economy A week ago Trump praised PM Carney: “If you can get a deal with China, you should do that.” So much for political autonomy & economic self-determination.

Just genuinely, remarkably stupid. Alberta has plenty of provincial debt -- and more each year. Any separation agreement would require it to take on a proportionate share of the federal debt. If anything, an independent Alberta currency would be a recipe for hyperinflation.
