I'm really tired with people consigning evil to the realm of madness to feel comfortable, or using mental disorders to shield shitty people from consequences. I live with someone with bipolar, and while I don't understand it fully; it doesn't make you become a Neonazi.

Alberta New Democrats stand with Team Canada and say NO to separatism. I signed the pledge - will the UCP do the same? #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #elbowsup🇨🇦

Two years ago, private companies were lined up to build new renewable energy powerplants in AB, w/ ZERO subsidies from the AB government. We led the country by a wide margin. Then, oil lobbyist Danielle Smith happened. First to last in just two years. Thanks, Dani 😞. #ableg #cdnpoli

It’s always interesting reading how events are reported after the fact. Take the separation event at the Big4: hundreds sounds like a lot, but from my vantage point over Stampede park there was barely more traffic than an average night where events aren’t happening.

Anyway here's a picture of my dog.

Given the billions of dollars a select few of grocery empires make, PM @mark-carney.bsky.social, this is rather underwhelming. I support the @ndp.ca 's idea of a publicly funded/operated grocery store that is not motivated by profit. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Billy Bragg, fuck yeah.

Introducing new recruit adoptable kitty, Tilly! Tilly is a gentle and calm kitty who values quiet togetherness time and lots of pets, she will be a sweetheart of a forever family member!

Reducing food waste within a grocery store KEEPS FOOD PRICES DOWN. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.

OKAY I am going to go on a side tangent rant here about the "luxury grocery store" thing (see below thread up and down, very excellent comments). In-store delis (with the little meals, the trays, sometimes family meals that you bake at home) REDUCE STORE LEVEL FOOD WASTE. A rant thread incoming

We were pleased to discuss the increased interest in Pride Tape thanks to the global Heated Rivalry phenomenon. 💫 Pride Tape is possible because of you! Happy 10th anniversary. Keep wrapping your sticks. Visibility does make a difference. 🏒🌈 www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

A corporate owned house. So many people in the Bow Valley can't find a home and live in conditions that a WW1 U-boat mariner would consider "cramped" but a corporate owned house is used as an Airbnb. #bowvalley

Oh this is so sad. Kirsty Duncan was such a champion for science and discovery in Canada. I’ll never forget the day she called my kid to congratulate her on her science fair prize. Such a kind and engaged human. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Starting Wednesday, 100,000 people will be drawn to the French Quarter over just four days — all to take in one of Edmonton’s most magical spectacles: Flying Canoë Volant! Will you be one of them? wintercityedmonton.ca/event/flying... #WinterCity #YEGwinter #YEG

I'm heartbroken. 💔🙏🏾 Rest well, Dr. Duncan. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We mourn and celebrate the life of MP Kristy Duncan. An outstanding scientist, advocate for evidence-based policy, and tireless champion for global health, education, and compassion in all facets of public life. Forever in our hearts. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

As APP members meet with U.S. officials, does that open the door to foreign interference? “Yeah, absolutely!” says Shaun Fluker, law professor at the U of C. He warns Elections Alberta lacks the resources to deal with foreign influence in a timely manner. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...

Healthcare is in crisis, and it's costing Albertans the ultimate price. The UCP pretending otherwise won’t fix it. We need accountability. We need action. Our lives depend on it. youtu.be/vLx1RZBtoIc

Lies are not errors, they are lies. Do not fall into the abyss of ever allowing anyone to lie directly to your face and then try to tell you that they misspoke or made a small error. Call a lie a lie, immediately. Be brave.

Nation-wide cohort study from Sweden finds patients with substance use disorder have some of the highest risk of suicide vis-a-vis patients with other diagnoses following involuntary psychiatric care. www.doi.org/10.1016/j.lanepe.2025.101504

With Hootsuite making rounds for its contracts with ICE, here’s a longstanding one it had with Calgary police that looked an awful lot like scraping social media for facial recognition. They reeeeally didn’t want me to get these documents. drugdatadecoded.ca/calgary-poli...

A small group of Albertans has been advocating for the province to separate from Canada and become the 51st state. I wonder if seeing the U.S. Secretary of War say something like this about an existing state, hours after a second civilian was shot dead by federal authorities, gives them any pause.

“Sheep.” Pink Floyd. “What do you get for pretending the danger's not real Meek and obedient you follow the leader Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel What a surprise! A look of terminal shock in your eyes Now things are really what they seem No, this is no bad dream.”

Happy Cat Cafe Caturday from adoptable kitties, Sage and Silas! These rays of sunshine are patiently waiting for their very own forever family, they are full of positive energy and love to share! These Best Brothers are 8 months old and they do well with other kitties, calm dogs, and people of all

Carl and Nelson.

Took the dogs on a "pup crawl" because it's too cold outside for their tender feets. We visited 3 pets stores where they were greeted with free samples; we spent money on squeaky toys which I might regret in the days to come.

It’s time to play, “Describe that Video!” This Hour Has 22 Minutes at its most blistering - and prescient. This was posted yesterday. But it couldn’t be more timely. Whether or not you can bear to watch “that” video today, you need to watch this one. #Minneapolis #CBC

159 Canadians gave their lives in Afghanistan. From Privates (46) to Colonels (1). 97 died from explosives. 22 died from direct fire. 13 died from suicide attacks. 24 from non-enemy attacks. 3 from suicide. 44 units/formations lost someone.

Danielle Smith needs to unequivocally denounce separatism and stand united with Team Canada. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Webe...

The Alberta separatists don’t want to join the US. They want to be Belarus (a nice vassal state). www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I have a number of Americans who follow me. This is a really great thread that covers a multitude of different actions that folks can take today, right now.

Happy Caturday from adoptable kitties, Hunny and Rose! These cuties spent all day yesterday baking cheeze biscuits and sewing catnip kickers for our fundraiser, so they are ready for some R and R and fun and games today! Hunny and Rose are dynamite kitties and they are going to be awesome forever

Daily Dolly.

Just wanted to share a nice photo as I was walking up to the university for lunch yesterday at -28c.

Number of COVID-19 Shots Delivered in Alberta Drops By Half, Following $100 Fee and Other Restrictions “What we've heard over the last few months is extreme frustration from Albertans who were trying to use the booking system to get the vaccine.” pressprogress.ca/number-of-co...
