The worst part of this game is that despite the stakes of an FA Cup semi-final, it's managed to be a bit boring. #lufc

David Cochrane: "I never stop to be shocked at how shocked the Americans are at the logical consequences of their actions, 'Can you believe they're not selling our booze after we disrupted all of their core industries?'"

Alberta is almost certainly headed towards an independence referendum. But Danielle Smith has been spending the last two years trying to turn the province into a de-facto American state. Is that the real endgame for her? #abpoli #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/22/o...

Holy crap, guys. His approval rating is down 300%.

I genuinely feel for the folks in the border states who didn't ask for Trump, but suffer the consequences of his actions. Its unfair. We should be really grateful for their understanding. I hope one day we can feel comfortable travelling there again.

FT 2-2 Awful performance, great point #LUFC

This game is LOL. I love it!

Would be hilarious to get a draw now.

Defending was less than ideal there.

Idk who did this comic but it's hilarious

If oil prices remain at current levels for the next 12 months, the Canadian oil industry is on track to make $90bn in profits, which is $60bn more than it would have earned without the war...Applying 15% rate on excess profits of oil industry could generate $9 billion over the next 12 months. ⬇️

Ottawa man hit by a car that ran a red light. Ottawa police do... literally nothing. Meanwhile, the City of Ottawa generously offers to sell him the footage showing the man ran a red light and hit him for money. Are they trying to make active commuters feel unsafe? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

5 months ago I was most definitely wrong.

A lot of Orbán's American fans are saying that this election proved he was never an authoritarian in the first place. This is completely wrong — and, in fact, betrays a complete misunderstanding of both Hungarian politics and modern authoritarianism. Here's why.

⚠️ Only about 15% of Alberta’s land is formally classified as protected. Yet, the province appears to be side-stepping its responsibility to reach the 30×30 target by simply ‘relabeling’ public lands as protected areas. ⚠️ 🔗 cpawsnab.org/all-news/alb...

This is still wild to me. It doesn’t matter if you happened to be minding your business. If you happened to be alive in that radius, apparently you deserved to die. News media aren’t making a big enough deal about this.

hmm

Sometimes I see something like this and I really miss Australia!

Canadian oil companies are set to profit from the American-led aggression in Iran. As their profits grow, maybe it's time we force these companies to set money aside for cleanup? www.ft.com/content/81fa... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli

Food inflation is about to skyrocket again — along with Conservative lying about the (industrial) carbon tax's impact on it. If Mark Carney wants to save the last major piece of climate policy in Canada, his government needs to get ahead of this. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/23/o...

Our new research for @nationaltrust.org.uk finds that after the NHS it’s Britain’s countryside and nature and historic buildings and architecture that are their biggest sources of pride in the UK.

The populism-dampening magic of Australia’s preferential (instant runoff) voting system. If US presidential elections had this system we’d have been in a vastly different world for the last 26 years.

Years ago, Vivian Kraus came to the Yukon and I spoke publicly about some of her misinformation. Afterwards, I got a whole load of shitty messages from random Albertans. Shannon (the Environment Minister at this time) somehow saw this & took the time to send a kind note to me, a total stranger.

Stumbled across this: The root of "female" has nothing to do with "male". It derives from the Mediaeval Latin femella, a diminutive of femina, a woman. It was mistakenly transcribed in Middle English as "female", perhaps creating the impression that a woman is a version/variant/ subset of a man.

The news is already terrible why does it also have to be incredibly stupid

This is Director of WHO. And that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make all day every day this week.

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’ ‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’ ‘Hello’ is not related to either. Goodbye.

The Pathways Alliance CCS project is crucial to the new AB-CAD pipeline agreement, and Canada can't just abandon its duty to assess the impacts of "the "world's largest carbon capture project" (their own words), when the AER has already said NO to doing an assessment. #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music Several dozen folks did Some even dubbed music over the original clip. I haven't been able to get this out of my head. So I give you A Bluesky exclusive: Reservoir Ducks 🐣 🪶

Sometimes I remember back to the skepticism everyone felt at the close of the summer transfer window. With some hindsight and the chance to compare the hit/miss ratio versus Victor Orta, all I can say is wow - they did a great job!

Right now, key federal funding for nature protection is set to expire on March 31, which would halt progress. When we allow ecosystems to degrade, the costs don’t disappear. They show up later, and are far higher.🫰Check out our new blog post cpaws.org/the-clock-is...

Sure, let's just go ahead and put the fox in charge of the hen house. What could possibly go wrong?!

Shameful behaviour by some of our so- called fans.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

I do think about this occasionally.

This is truly amazing. I love it!

My latest: Naheed Nenshi has been a monumental disappointment as Alberta NDP leader — and it could actually get worse from here. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/23/o...

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Very on brand for an American to use his whiteness to escape accountability

Not sure how I feel about the Americans taking advantage of the fact that their white uniforms apparently make them invisible to the referees

“Smith’s address last night is worse than advocacy for separatism. It’s an agenda to destroy Canadian federalism from within. To rely on stoking fear and xenophobia, to attack society’s most vulnerable, to dismantle the grand bargains that make Canada the best country in the world.”

1. Pointing out that the Iranian regime's actions are horrific does not in any way subtract from the horror of the Israeli government's genocide in Gaza, or from other atrocities. There are, unfortunately, plenty here who seem to believe we should be partisan in our denunciations. They are wrong. 🧵

Fair play to them!
