“Emails obtained by CBC through an access to information request show that Flanagan’s newspaper letter was sent by the university’s government relations department to staff at the Ministry of Advanced Education before it was published.” By @emilyawilliams52.bsky.social #AbPSE #AbLeg

This is a monumentally irresponsible move. Whoever advised the premier should resign or be fired. Smith shouldn't just withdraw the threat. She should apologize for threatening to cut off Albertans' access to their own justice system. Tomorrow. edmonton.citynews.ca/2026/02/03/a...

Canada needs to stop enabling human rights' abuses. Let's walk the talk.

Hey, so, if our would-be autocratic gov't calls a referendum, illegitimate as it may be, we have to show up. Because 100% of separatists will show up. We need to not just win, but absolutely embarrass this "movement".

There is a link to the House of Commons petition regarding media ownership in the thread comments. Please help spread the word to help Canadian content be truthful and transparent.

Spread the word and talk to friends and family about this. Slippery word-salad like this can sound reasonable but there is no 'reasoned consideration of our options' when separation is only an option in a alternate reality of law and economics.

Patients detail ‘disaster’ inside Alberta emergency departments

INDIA: “The virus can spread from animals to humans. It has a high death range – ranging from 40% to 75% – as there is no vaccine or medicine to treat it.” www.bbc.com/news/article... - BBC News (World) #AirTravel #Health #India #Nepal #NipahVirus #Thailand #Travel #WestBengal

A successful Christmas was had! Love and hope to you all as we say goodbye to this crazy year.

As I'm drinking my thermos full of tea to try and clear the last of this tenacious cough, my brain just thinks up: Gobwebs. I am clearing out my gobwebs! I'm certain I'm not the first to think it up but I'm still a little proud lol. Call me out if it's old news bahaha.

So troubling.

Premier Danielle Smith is restricting the freedom & rights of vulnerable young people, intruding on the confidential medical conversations of physicians and their patients, and disregarding the rights of patients to access medically necessary care. Help push back: www.stop-smith.ca

I'm CURED

Hang 'em by their toes.

There was fun and silliness. 🧡💀🎃

This is exciting! For all of us feeling chronic pain for no good reason, this is a big step to better management.

It's become our wonderful tradition at Aunty's place. We love pumpkin night!!!

We are a nation of migrants. The more we lift up and support integration of students and ALL newcomers, the more cohesive and prosperous our nation. Why do we never stop "othering" our newest would-be migrants?!

Let's go, Calgary crew!!

“Enyinnah Okere, a deputy minister of communications, also said in an email the interim report won’t be made public, citing no requirement to do so in the terms of the investigation set by the government.” So no interim report for public eyes. #abpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

From the DM’s… Medicine Hat has no obstetrical coverage for the entire weekend. While Danielle Smith goes to war with teachers and trans kids, Alberta’s 7th largest city has no obstetricians available to deliver babies. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I'm conflicted. Nothing concrete yet, but if the motive WAS political we need to remember that democracy depends on being able to speak your mind and dissent without fear of violence. But CK undermined democracy with misinformation and hate-mongering which no doubt created unnecessary suffering.

This is evil. To all those with children over 12, DO NOT COMPLY.

Summer time, and hairdo is breezy! She's so cool 😎

Feels like kismet. We got swept up in bringing this beauty home, decided on the name Clover, and THEN found out she was born on March 17! Welcome home, Clover 💚

My plea to the Conservatives: get back to creating concrete plans for the Canadian economy and excise the tumor of socially oppressive, anti-science thinking in your party. Canadians deserve choice in leadership without the price of the rights and health of their loved ones.

my husband just sent me this

Surprise surprise! If you sound like Trump and promise to do the same things as Trump… people think you’re Trump. How can you stand up for Canada and Carleton, when you worship the man who is threatening our country? #FanjoyVsPoilievre #CanadaStrong www.ctvnews.ca/federal-elec...

To help her MAGA friends, unCanadian Danielle Smith releases impounded US liquor to be sold. America bought Smith #BoycottAmericanBooze #RecallSmith

Is Google Maps brainwashing us? It might be if the theory of ‘extended cognition’ is correct

Arkansas HB1668, the Vulnerable Youth Protection Act, would allow parents in AK to sue *anyone*, regardless of location within the US, for recognizing a minor's choice, be that calling them by their chosen name or cutting their hair too short or selling them a dress. Wild overreach w $10k min fines

Here's something we can control in our lives. Too much watching of train wrecks lately. youtu.be/5sVfTPaxRwk?...

NEW: The National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods is (or was) an advisory committee housed within the USDA which provides outside expert advice to advance food safety across the US and across different levels of govt. It was ordered disbanded this afternoon.

CBP is detaining german tourist for over 1 mo because they accused her of intending to tattoo for $$ while in US. In jailing her to deport, they held her in solitary for 9 days, also kept her from her return flight Feb 15. She's still jailed. CoreCivic+CBP ⬆️ 💵 www.kpbs.org/news/border-...

For writers Stéphane Leman-Langlois, Aurélie Campana, and Samuel Tanner, Canada’s public controversies have reignited the far right’s classic themes like economic hardship, identity, immigration, social order and security, giving extremism new ground to thrive. thewalrus.ca/canadas-far-righ...

Albertans are slowly waking up to the depths of the scandal enveloping the UCP government. A lot of folks are wondering how to explain what's going on to people who haven't been tuning in. Here's the what, so what now what, and what's next of the situation. 🧵

Almost 15 years. Had to say goodbye today, she was home and comfy and finally got to eat a whole slice of pizza. I hope it was everything you dreamed it would would be.

Hey, BlueSky geniuses: Has anyone yet made a starter pack of Canadian thought leaders, public intellectuals, journalists, and progressive activists, scientists, economists et al that we could all follow and open lines of communication with? I think that would be popular. And is deeply needed.

Reminder that a study on lizard saliva eventually led to the development of Ozempic so be real wary of the criticism of studies and funding that sounds non-sensical when presented with no context.

I'm here, I'm befuddled, but I've got team spirit!!
