Alberta teachers... VOTE NO

Acetaminophen does not cause autism. And also... The argument that autism came before Tylenol is not the gotcha you think it is

If you need a ladder to get in, maybe it’s too tall to be sharing the road with kids

Charlie Kirk constantly interrupted people and gave them strawman arguments to make a fool of them. I don't see this kind and open approach the Cardinal perceived

Just an utterly deranged thing to say in the country where Sandy Hook happened.

Some days the biggest threat to my family’s ability to get to school safely on foot or bike is the behavior of some parents who drive. It scares me that these drivers are willing to drive so unsafely at their own kids’ school, where they are likely to know the families they’re threatening. 3/3

Here's what the Alberta Information and Privacy Commissioner Diane McLeod said today in response to Premier Danielle Smith's announcement yesterday that she's making citizenship markers mandatory for driver's licenses. Statement from McLeod in full: #ableg

More deaths occur due to the violence of words

Ah yes, seems like a great, non-discriminatory idea to make non-citizens carry a card showing their lack of citizenship at all times.

and I'm simply never going to be convinced that "spending time looking how patriarchy wants me to look, blending in nicely with everyone else who conforms" somehow helps free women from structural patriarchal oppression, which is what feminism is for

Gotta be careful with that one. There are a statistically implausible number of women who say that their inherent, natural preferences just so happen to perfectly line-up with creating a currently fashionable look for themselves

I really want a resurgence of Fuck Makeup, Fuck Fashion, body neutrality feminism. It seems like we're moving farther away from it, and that sucks

A man in Washington, DC, plays the Imperial March from Star Wars while following patrolling soldiers. One of the soldiers threatens to call the police.

You're actually a fuckin loon if you think the teachers are going to accept your shitty half offer. Can't wait for the strike to actually slap the government in the face. Wake up, we want better for our kids.

Which is it @daniellesmithab.bsky.social ?

Literally every Democrat: Nobody deserves to be murdered! The Republican governor of Utah: I would like for us to murder the guy who killed Charlie Kirk

 James Talarico nails it: The biggest divide in our country is not left versus right. It's top versus bottom.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights" - Charlie Kirk, 2023 www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

Sad as hell that (another) family has lost a loved one to gun violence

Danielle Smith blames Ottawa, but Albertans are paying the price: 📉 $11.6B surplus turned into $6.5B deficit 💊 Opted out of pharmacare & dental care 👶 Stalled child care funding 🌱 Rolled back renewables 🚫 Cut disability supports 📊 8.4% unemployment That’s why we need CBC: to cut through the spin.

AT BEST this is sexist. At worst it is transphobic, opens doors to bullies (including bully parents), makes girls feel afraid, embarrassed, and less excited about sport...a complete mess of a policy

✨ CALGARY! You really show up for our inaugural #KidicalMass ride! Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. See you Sept 21 for our next ride! #yycbike @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social 🚲✨

I hate when IG fitness accounts are like “if you’re eating peanut butter, string cheese, and nuts and think you’re snacking healthy THINK AGAIN” and it’s like dear god please there are only so many foods

#yycbike #yyc #yyccc

Leave it to @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social to get to the point! #Calgary #yycbike

The United States had one of the worst COVID outcomes in the entire world from a body count standpoint. Anyone who argues with a straight face we were TOO cautious is an unserious imbecile.

This is a lovely thread about everything we owe labour in Canada. Less than a month ago your government tried to order flight attendants back to work, taking away their right to strike. Where was this passion for labour then? Where will it be when the next union has their right to strike denied?

So proud of my pal @whoalansi.bsky.social for organizing Calgary's first Kidical mass ride. Community organizers make the world go round!!

Join us for the inaugural Kidical Mass YYC on Sunday! The more, the merrier! Truly is nothing better than riding with friends! 🚲❤️ #yycbike #kidicalmass #letsbikethere

CHRIS LOCKE 5 TIPS: 1) Be nice to people 2) Have gratitude 3) Where are you going? 4) How come I wasn’t invited? 5) I guess I don’t know them that well, yeah

It’s not “radical” to demand fair pay that keeps up with the cost of living. What’s radical is thinking workers should struggle while CEOs rake in record profits.

Just watched freakier Friday and Fr thought that musician girl was Cierra from Love Island lol

Yeah, so about that 'you get more conservative as you get older.' Uh, no. I'm practically a socialist at this point. Tax billionaires into oblivion. Universal health care, including contraception and abortion care. Universal basic income. Blow Reaganomics/corporate tax rates into the sun.

Finally not an imposter 😅 #yycbike

Are we all in agreement yet that it wasn't the carbon tax jacking up the cost of everything??? It's been corporate greed from the beginning folks.

"the only abuse of process is politicians being in charge of their own election rules....I don’t see any value in making a party or supporting any existing party, because – as we’ve seen countless times – a party that wins under FPTP, keeps FPTP no matter what they promise”- Tomas Szuchewycz

Are bike lanes in Alberta's cities an actual scourge or a fabricated distraction?

At the vintage store hearing @dieworkwear.bsky.social say "shape and drape"

Ring is, itself, the product of a decades-long conservative seige mentality indoctrination campaign. If you are in the demo that is likely to own a Ring, you are extraordinarily unlikely to be a victim of crime. But Ring reinforces the belief that you are always under siege.

Statement from the organizers of the Longest Ballot Committee #cdnpoli #electoralreform #battlerivercrowfoot #citizensassembly

Stuff like this is why the UCP are going after an easy target like bike lanes. They've actively stoked this fire (as well as other literal fires) and need a distraction.

Canadian print media...notice anything odd?

Over 7000kms of roads for cars and somehow, according to Alberta's provincial transport minister, bike lanes are a scourge, degrading Calgary's car culture, making people fit, healping people get around in an affordable way, and wtf....why would we want that? #yycbike #yyccc

Kidical Mass YYC is kicking off August 24! Follow @letsbikethereYYC on IG for more details: www.instagram.com/p/DMhD-fLRqO... #yycbike

Heard from a colleague spending a few months in the Netherlands. "Went on a 35-mile bike ride today, entirely on bike paths, through all kinds of landscapes. Turns out I love biking, I'm just scared of biking with cars." 😢

So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?

Pushing separatism. Period. Withhold equalization payments? We don’t make equalization’s payments. We pay our federal taxes at the same rate as the rest of Canada. What they’re suggesting is withholding federal taxes. Separatists. FULL STOP.
