How dare he talk about protecting kids while supporting the oil industry that's destroying their future. How dare he. The shamelessness of this man.

In the latest update from one of the weirdest strikes in recent history, CUPE 2722 says @oxfamcanada.bsky.social has sent them a “cease and desist” letter from their lawyers…

Quick civic refresher. 🇨🇦 Canada has three levels of government, each with different responsibilities. Before saying "the government" should fix something, it's worth asking: Which government? #Canada #CdnPoli #Civics #abpoli #ableg #Alberta #CutTheBullSmith #Lindawalkerwrites #DanielleSmith

*blowing cigarette smoke right in the face of everyone who just woke up to the news* "We already did all the jokes"

I guess I’m supposed to agree with this but I watched it and still was like Aaron Sorkin shut da fuck up lol

More hats. Still no cattle.

Nothing sums up the first half of the #BlueJays season like that loss. Bad defense, poor swing decisions, Hoffman coughing up a lead, Vladdy looking lost at the plate.

"Deeply sad about the loss of Ringwraith #4. We might have disagreed on policy, such as stabbing hobbits and murdering innocent villagers and working for the Dark Lord Sauron, but he loved riding horses and supporting his fellow Nazgûl. Wish he'd had more time." -Canadian politicians, apparently

it’s very easy to split the difference here and understand why a public figure who worked with another recently deceased public figure would say kind things about them in public while random internet commenters who were harmed by their decisions might be unkind, we don’t have to discourse about it

One of the things that is baffling about the housing crisis is that politicians are stumped at how to build more housing because it all depends on the private market being able to turn a profit. I mean, politicians, that is the problem.

This is a harrowing long read… Religious extremism dominates this case, but there’s a lesson for everyone: when a deeply held belief central to one’s identity causes severe harm, one can resolve dissonance by changing both belief and identity—but that’s a heavy lift. Many respond by believing harder

“Some men improve the world only by leaving it.” Do you know how easy it is to live and not have people say that about you when you die? The majority of humanity passes through this world without having that said about them when they shuffle along.

Yep, and again polling did not show the idea of a publicly funded pipeline being popular in Canada nor Alberta. bsky.app/profile/cono...

"he deployed his fascism with a smile" okay, cool!

So @merriam-webster.com has a new game on their shared site with Brittanica - The Loop. Which is a fun concept. But which, instead of using publicly available art, or hiring an artist, runs entirely on AI art. Which feels like such a fucking betrayal. You're the *dictionary*.

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

Personally, I think it’s a good goal to live your life in a way that folks don’t have to go “please be nice” right when you die

I do remember. I also remember not saying F&%$ all and just moved on. Worked out just fine. We don't need to make a statement on everything, everytime.

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

It's really funny how well they blend in with the sprinklers! They're the same shape, lol.

You could get mad about dead senator discourse *or* you could enjoy this video of sea lions who have retaken an island with a decommissioned lighthouse off the coast of Oregon and now use the staircase as a giant slide.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

It's even worse than bad comms. I think these venerations from Dem Senators are happening because they're feeling genuine grief. They LIKED the guy! (Or at minimum considered him an equal peer.) And that's the bigger problem. They have been dismissing the enormous harm he caused all along.

They made the lives of people struggling at poverty wages worse from the remove of and with the protective bracketing procedural politeness of the Senate... violence by another name. www.welcometohellworld.com/the-rube-gol...

Carney calling Lindsey Graham a defender of democracy and freedom when the man made jokes on his official X account about taking over Canada is just the last straw of many last straws for me.

The Democratic Party's approval rating is in the toilet, and the main reason is voters see Dem leaders and prominent members acting like things are basically okay instead of fighting like there's an emergency. Slot "my friend Lindsey Graham, so funny, how great to work with him" comments into that.

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

every dead senator gets a thoughtful obituary lauding their “courage” and then if you look it up the courage was filibustering the Give Medicine to Cancer Kids act

I don't know why people love watching/streaming dystopian dramas. We already live in a dystopian world, why would you subject yourself to more of it in your off-hours?

Danielle Smiths new AI super centre might not use that much water… But according to the environmental impact assessment, the power plant powering it will more than double the water consumption of the entire Sturgeon County. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

All those hats. No cattle.

Hey, Jordan Pickford just sprinted out of the box and just kicked the ball away without thinking about it or hesitating. Imagine that.

Corporate clowns were touting the "largest data centre in Canada" right outside my city. These hacks raided an RM council & blasted through any approvals, reviews or oversight. It's a closed loop system & I suspect my city is going to pay the price for this shit if it goes online.

He means the climate plan he inherited from a government that was led by most of his current cabinet members and endorsed by his own voters

Effen boo.

Opinion: At $6.71 a day, the Canada Disability Benefit falls short. The Benefit was meant to reduce poverty. Instead, it forces many people with disabilities to make harmful tradeoffs. By Krista Carr in Canadian Affairs. #cdnpoli #accessibility www.canadianaffairs.news/2026/07/06/o...

Liberals will tell you that shaming fascists somehow prevents the authentic dialogue that would make them change. Meanwhile, fascists themselves say that one of the things that most discourages them from carrying on as fascists is feeling the utter contempt and revulsion of everyday people.

Why build publically funded homes owned by the province when you can pay cronies and party donors to open private ones.

Further, tonight 147 hospital beds in Saskatoon are occupied by pts who no longer need hospital care, but do need other care such as nursing home or home care. Saskatchewan has not built a new publicly funded nursing home in the Saskatoon area in 16 years, despite a growing older population. 2/2

Tonight RUH is 30 patients over capacity. 14 of those pts are housed in RUH ER, admitted, no bed. 16 months ago Sask Govt promised 109 new acute care beds at City Hospital within 16 months to relieve pressure on Saskatoon #yxe hospitals. Just 60 beds have been opened (20 just in the past month). /1

Nothing like getting your tornado "take shelter" warnings 15-20 minutes AFTER they are issued. Not even talking about how the tornados are dozens of KMs away. The Sask Emergency department is just such child's play. Course, what do you expect with a Sask Party government led by a bunch of Basics.

Sask NDP and Alberta NDP leadership are avoiding the writing on the wall that relying on fossil fuels not only destroys the climate but relying on it economically is a disaster in the making thewalrus.ca/avi-lewis-nd...

Delta says ticket prices aren’t coming down, despite the cost of jet fuel falling. Delta's revenue was up over $17 billion last quarter, with profits topping $1 billion. The airline has also raised ticket prices 10-20% on most routes this year, and hiked bag fees.

"Jeffrey Rosenthal, a professor of statistics at the University of Toronto, ran an analysis for CBC News using figures provided by Elections Alberta. He said his findings suggest to him that the petition exceeded the signature number threshold. "

They get a sweetheart deal from SaskPower to use C02 from our barely working closed carbon captue system to extract more oil. The government claims its green energy.

The original contract was paying them millions because CCS doesn't fucking and there were monetary penalties because Sask Power couldn't supply them with enough C02. They get money to produce more oil. Brad claims CCS is green and gets a board appointment. They win and taxpayers lose.
