Rakhi Pancholi Deputy NDP Leader in Alberta joins me Monday on 🇨🇦 The OShow Canada’s Pro Democracy Podcast to get some answers on Danielle Smith’s deficit, separatist agenda and anti-immigrant comments. 🇨🇦

So much for freedom of speech in the usa...

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

“Pierre Poilievre’s disdain for critical journalists and the institution of journalism is no surprise, given that he campaigned for far-right troll Ezra Levant, the guy who tried to hijack a CBC broadcast and started shit-fits with other journalists during the English leaders’ debate.”

Canada has been named among the top 5 countries with the most freedom. The United States ranked 57th.

@markgerretsen.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social Why is Jamil pushing nicotine patches "FreetheZyn?" - They have been removed from shelves in Canada, and moved to pharmacies. Google Zyn and doctors tell you they are addictive! WHY is the Conservative Party allowed to do this? ILLEGAL???

The UCP are NOT good with money Alberta needs an election #ableg #abpoli

Poilievre: "Conservatives are the party of Sir John A. Macdonald. The party that created Confederation. The party of Canada." Nope. The Conservative Party of Canada was created in 2003. Trying to claim to be the party of Confederation is stolen valour.

Hey, BC, in case you missed the memo: All hormone replacement therapy, contraceptives, AND diabetes medications will be 100% free in British Columbia starting March 1. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I'm so tired of politicians like Smith and Poilievre who work to encourage Albertans and Canadians to be the worst version of ourselves I remember multiple news stories from 20 yrs ago when Albertans helped immigrant communities Now we have a premier who scapegoats them #ableg #abpoli

“To abandon them now is not only a moral failure, but a betrayal of core Canadian values. Daniel Smith should be ashamed of such conduct” One of many powerful posts about my OShow interview with Arlene Dickinson 🇨🇦 youtu.be/EKp6M-Q2k8s?si…

During the pandemic, inflation shot up globally. The cost of everyday items went up, and wages didn’t keep pace. That created an affordability problem. We have a plan to fix it. youtube.com/watch?v=9MIx...

People do what you pay them to do. You pay corporate executives to make stock prices go up, not to make better products. You pay politicians to get re-elected, not to govern well. You pay reporters to get a bigger audience, not to tell the truth. And so forth. Be aware of what you pay people to do

One hundred accounts are behind the majority of conspiracy theory content in Canada #Propaganda #Canada According to the report, just 100 users are responsible for almost 70 per cent of all online conspiracy claims in Canada. /1 thread www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/25/n...

This graphic clearly shows the reason the UPC have given Albertans a deficit #ableg #abpoli Thanks to bsky.app/profile/judy... for the graphic

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

Guaranteed this will happen in Alberta with Smith's big push for data centres. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The upcoming legal challenge of Quebec’s secularism law, before the Supreme Court of Canada has evolved from a fight over whether teachers can wear hijabs in the classroom into a debate over who should get the final say when deciding basic questions of rights and freedoms www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Is Danielle Smith copying Pierre Poilievre or vice versa? Both are trying to distract Canadians in Alberta and the rest of the country from their massive failures and scandals. #Canada #CanadaSky #cdnpoli #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg @lukaszukab.bsky.social @coreyhogan.ca #Never51

Monday Thoughts from a Canadian🤔🍁💪 'Canada's Olympic Team Made All Canadians Very Proud To Be 𝘾𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣 🇨🇦'

I’m so angry about Poilievre’s comment about “fake” refugees. I’ve had the privilege of working with refugees in different capacities and they have gone through more and are more courageous and resilient than I or anyone I know could dream of being. It’s so shitty to say. 😢🇨🇦

The New York Rangers expect me, a woman, to come back and watch the rest of the season after I watched the people who run the organization and two of its players laugh at female athletes. I think I’m good on hockey for the rest of the season. It’s been, like, really ruined.

If the strongest predictor of a No vote is gender, that’s not a policy disagreement. That’s a societal red flag the size of a wheat field.

“I think a lot of them are useful idiots to stir division in 🇨🇦 I wouldn’t be surprised if some are very conscious of support they’re getting from pro Russia MAGA which is extremely influential and played a role in our trucker blockade!” youtu.be/PEpfd8sP7Yo?si…#Ablege#cndpolil#Albertata

If you were a doctor would you come and work in Alberta under the UCP? My answer would be a very loud NO But that's me #ableg #abpoli

Albertans really need to pay attention to Brexit Why it happened and the outcome It happened because David Cameron was trying to hold onto his job due of Brexit forces within his own party - he failed The outcome - it has destroyed the British economy and their stand with the EU #ableg #abpol

Public trust in Canada’s institutions is rising in face of U.S. hostility: poll #Canada #cdnpoli The poll suggests Prime Minister Mark Carney is the most trusted federal party leader, at 45 per cent. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

What's this? Well I'll be damned, if it isn't a letter from Danielle Smith, begging Justin Trudeau to increase the number of immigrants into the country & to allow them to become permanent residents of Alberta!

Mark my words this is the beginning of the end to universal healthcare in Canada 🇨🇦. If we let them do this to the most vulnerable (Ukrainians fleeing war) they will do it to all of us: www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

This one hits hard.

Canadians, if your prescriptions aren’t covered entirely by a plan, or you have no coverage, check to see if your drugs are covered by the FREE PROGRAM at InnoviCares. My ADHD drug w BlueCross, was $78/1 mo. With 50% increase in dose, & THREE months, I only paid $60. InnoviCares covered $280!

57% of 🇨🇦 Canadians said the US cannot be depended on in a crisis 67% say the US “challenges” — as opposed to supports — its allies around the world 69% say the US tends to create problems for other countries rather than solve them Only 37% believe “The US is still an ally of Canada”

More hope from mRNA vaccines. In this instance, individualized vaccines were given to women with triple negative breast cancer following surgery and adjuvant therapy. The results are quite remarkable. Despite cancer finding a ‘T cell-evading’ work-around in some patients. #Science 🧪

A memorandum of understanding was signed in Hamilton Wednesday that is set to bring in a Korean ship building company to share expertise and technology in our area.

IMO The reason Alberta is in this mess with a lawless, racist, separatist UCP government is because for the last 50 yrs we've been sold on the idea that conservatives are good at the economy, despite the fact that their track record says otherwise It's nothing more than propaganda #ableg #abpoli

“The idea that the private sector is better at getting things done than the public sector is a farce. Consider the REM, a mass transit system designed for Montreal that stops working when it snows or gets too cold out.” #polmtl

Good! Finally!

So I think tonight Smith & the UCP will blame everything that they have destroyed in Alberta (Healthcare, education, the economy, etc) on immigrants and the feds None of it will be their fault They might even blame the 4 yrs of ABNDP But in reality, everything is their fault #ableg #abpoli

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal. Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

And what happens to people who don't earn enough to pay taxes? #ableg #abpoli

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?
