Danielle Smith called for the feds to send more people to Alberta. She invited people from across Canada to come & paid them $5000 each. Now she wants to blame immigrants for her failure to plan, wild spending & attacks on public services. But the only one to blame is Danielle Smith. #abpoli

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically. Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

And about an hour later Trump launches an attack. There is no reason for this war, it is Trump being a dictator.

So Israel has attacked Iran. This gives Trump an excuse to attack. Notice how Trump’s attacks always occur after markets have closed.

Little snitch coming out as pro-fa.

Mine is that raccoons don’t exist. Anyone who says they do exist is part of the conspiracy.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

If there are people who are superstitious are there people who are: megastitious, minorstitious or hyperstitious? Or some who are superdooperstitious? And some who are just stitious?

So if I understand this correctly, Trump is threatening war, or at least some form of economic violence, because he didn’t get the peace prize?

The Deep Freeze Festival in YEG always has an amazing fireworks show. This year’s show was next level. Well done from someone that really doesn’t like fireworks.

I really appreciate the amount of snow and how many people get stuck while driving. I get to meet my neighbours and help out random strangers. Weather conditions like this is what shapes the Canadian personality.

The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent As it Happens interview about X and Grok. I’m posting a couple of screen shots here - since they are a bit too long for alt text, I’ll post the link to the full transcript below. #cdnpoli #X #Grok #yeg #CSAM

What are the odds that the US will be around for its 250th anniversary?

January 2nd and we’ve got a contender for weird headline of the year.

“Justice Lema said the two men need to convince him that they didn’t interfere with the administration of justice by “deterring, harassing, molesting, or influencing a prospective witness.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Bonkers story from @matthewblack.ca: Lawyers for a former AHS board member claim a self-described political fixer, along with an indy publisher, have been paid to smear their client in an effort to discredit & dissuade him from testifying in the wrongful dismissal suit from the agency’s former CEO.

JFC anti-fascists don’t support conservative bankers posing as liberals who will trample on the rights of Indigenous peoples. Carney is just dresses up his neo-liberalism into something more palatable to the masses.

I’ve had a lot of supervisors/managers/bosses in my life. Some have been terrible, most have been adequate, and some have been outstanding. @woodward.ca was an exceptional leader who always cared about everyone he worked with. Thanks Jeff!

SCOOP Calgary Police Service suppressed evidence of brutality by officers deployed to the UofC anti-genocide protest on May 9, 2024. Among the evidence was camera footage from senior officers that should have been examined during an internal investigation. drugdatadecoded.ca/calgary-poli...

Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.

Hard no. I have dysgraphia and severe hypermobility issues. Handwritten notes are nightmare for me. Back in the 70s/80s, there wasn't anything for students like me. Once you blanket remove laptops and tablets, students who need them will have a helluva time getting access back. Ableist nonsense.

1/ This Trans Day of Remembrance we honour the memory and lives taken due to anti-trans violence. Dangerous anti-2SLGBTQI hate and rhetoric continue to take hold in modern-day society.

Ideas for my Xmas list.

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)

Yo, @support.bsky.team, bring back @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

Beautiful light this evening.

Sherman has impeccable comic timing

With shit like this it’s no wonder people say that all cops are bastards.

July: corporate donations become legal again for Alberta parties July-Sept: at least $471K in corp donations to UCP, which made the change. Injury lawyers and car dealers are so far biggest givers to Danielle Smith's party: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... by me

I’ve shown data before that link ambulance shortages to spikes in overdose deaths. This isn’t a system in collapse, it’s a system being intentionally collapsed by the government.

What’s worse than a worm in your apple? The Alberta UCP government.

Let's be clear about what happened today. Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights, denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it, and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

In Alberta municipal election news. I’m not sure where VoterView got its information. My address was at least 7 years out of date. I’ve voted in 1 municipal election, 2 provincial elections, and 3 federal elections since moving and VoterView still had my old address listed.

Who’s solving the Louvre robbery? Right answers only.

Tim Cartmell is using copyright to censor my content. Taking a page out of Mike Nickel's book, Tim Cartmell has gotten litigious. He's been unable to stop himself from torpedoing his campaign in every interview, so now he wants to stop the sharing of what he says.
