Hey, luckily we’ve doubled down on fossil fuel extraction and ended environmental protection to pander to far right separatists in AB.

Hard to read this and take Mitch's claim of 300,000 signatures at face value.

Yes, who could have seen this coming?

@justinling.ca new column on MAID policy is very well thought out. I teach MAID policy in my constitutional law class and I always find the topic challenging.

Lies, conspiracies, xenophobia, racism, and a Premier willing to empower the far right for her own political gain. This is the Alberta Independence movement.

Liberals.

Just keep kicking that environmental policy down the road while glaciers melt, forests burn, species go extinct, and the earth gets hotter.

“Armed with the voters list, these actors would play a huge role in a "leave" campaign.”

Honestly, keep the donations. Pay your taxes and fund universities publicly.

Between disinformation, massive privacy leaks, a mobilized far right, Elections Alberta being wholly unequipped to address foreign interference, and a government encouraging this nonsense, Alberta is in for a rough ride.

Trump's a failure in so many things. But his ability to command the Republican party is something that scholars of power politics and institutional control will have to understand if they are to truly understand modern authoritarianism.

I'll believe it when those signatures are verified.

Carney's cuts to health, childcare, and social supports. Oh and privatization. Austerity for all, tax cuts for the wealthy and subsidies for the largest polluters. That is Carney's government in a nutshell.

Kind of an accidental, explicit acknowledgement that the people who said carbon capture was going to only ever be a bait-and-switch were... entirely correct.

The lifespan of this argument is really quite remarkable.

Because the market has worked so well in the airline industry. 🙄

These numbers are staggering. Slavery remains one the great injustices in human history and those that benefited from it have yet to fully acknowledge or seek to address it.

This promises to be a fantastic event. A must-attend for all Albertans concerned about the prospect of a referendum on sovereignty. Register here: ctrforconstitutionalstudies.cmail20.com/t/d-l-gkuukl...

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

Americans are now paying $4.23 a gallon for gasoline, thanks to the war. BP pocketed more than $1 billion each month in pure profit last quarter, thanks to the war. What a system www.theguardian.com/business/202...

8/ Let’s put a windfall tax on oil & gas companies that are projected to make $90B in profits this year because of Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Then, let’s use that money to fill up the Sovereign Wealth fund — and invest in projects that benefit Canadians instead of a few wealthy investors and CEOs.

"A worker’s life is not a business expense." April 28th is the National Day of Mourning to remember and honour those who have died, been injured or suffered illness in the workplace.

1 hit and a ton of pop ups. Not the most exciting of games.

If you get a chance to see Montreal punk rockers NoBro, I highly recommend the show. Great music and a seriously cool energy.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Exactly. Smith’s conservatism is much more aligned with the new right and Trumpism than anywhere else in Canada.

Hilarious how things look when the shoe is on the other foot.

Nailed it ...

Clearly love to see my parents again. But I’d take an Ian Curtis Joy Division concert any day. Or a Joe Strummer Clash concert.

Let’s meet at the corner of Tim Buck Boulevard and Karl Marx Ave.

This is what I yell at my university, at least once a week. Every time I'm told we need to teach students how to use AI. We don't even teach them how to use tools like word processing and spreadsheets that we know will be useful! And you know why? Because we don't know how! It's not our expertise!

Had a chance to watch "Speechless" on CBC this weekend. I have questions, but it was an interesting enough analysis about how the left and right clash over the questions of free expression on American campuses. It is worth a discussion, for sure.

This is a shocking story. Congrats to @thenarwhal.ca on exposing this. LNG Canada in Kitimat – 🇨🇦's first major LNG facility – is now one of the highest sources of GLOBAL emissions for flaring, undermining claims that we produce the cleanest natural gas in the world: thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-b...

This Jays team is killing me slowly.

Is he resigning and turning himself in?

This is nuts. Smith is setting this process up to cement UCP hegemony for a decade.

Wow, that was the second awful (just awful) offensive game in a row.

Marking while watching the Jays is a spring tradition. This year I’m getting so much more marking done though because there is NO HITTING!!

Interesting ideas here... @saskndp.bsky.social @saskfedlabour.bsky.social

So rather than tax windfall profits, the Liberals, the Conservatives, and several leaders of the provincial NDP are calling for or lowering the gas tax rate, depriving public coffers of needed revenue to address climate change.

My LGBTQ+ community will never be rendered invisible. We will always stand up and fight for our rightful place.

Oh great. More Liberals.

Honestly seeing Orban get swept into the dustbin of history is the best news in ages. Kudos to the Hungarian voters for their courage in this moment.

The white nationalism at the centre of Alberta separatism continues to ignore the legitimacy of Indigenous sovereignty. This should be the end of Alberta sovereignty in its current form.
