"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

I’ve covered dozens of protests at the provinces’s southern office at the McDougall Centre, but today’s teacher rally was by far the largest by a measure. Truly massive turnout for teachers to express their anger at the government.

It literally rewards neglect: “If adopted, it is hard to see how any remaining O&G producer would ever take their closure obligations seriously...” ICYMI, our analysis of #Ableg’s so-called Mature Asset Strategy (MAS).

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

The UCP were warned and did it anyway. Here is the consequence.

“It’s economically perverse that the provincial government will spend public money on a project the private sector has balked at, while simultaneously sabotaging private investment in renewable energy projects the market is demanding.” www.theenergymix.com/albertas-new...

There is no Alberta oil. It's Canada's oil. There is no Saskatchewan potash. It's Canada's potash. The entire country has the right to your resources, according to Scott Moe. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

America is currently a giant experiment to see how long we can keep stuffing a year's worth of news and outrage into every single day before everyone's heads explode

People ask me all the time what they can do and broadly: 1) Organize and join protests 2) Support media that isn't backing down 3) Give to ACLU and others taking on the illegal actions in court 4) Give to food banks :(

Trump's spiritual advisor & mega church pastor Robert Morris has pled guilty to raping a child for 4 years, starting when she was 12. He made 0 apology. His punishment is 6 months jail 6 Months for rape😓 Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. A MAGA “Christian.” Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

Good lord, these allegations: 57 people forced to work as personal servants "around the clock." Some had to transport women to/from church leader & give them Plan B pills. Other followers worked "long hours with no pay" in call centres, soliciting $50M over a decade. $500K in gold bars seized.

Babies and young children are now paying the price for creeping anti-vaccine rhetoric that began long before they were born. These childhood diseases are preventable and, until recently, had been heavily suppressed, if not virtually eradicated, by widespread vaccination.

Candidates in the upcoming Edmonton municipal election should be asked if they think it's an appropriate use of public money for the Edmonton Police Service to maintain a unit to monitor the social media of critics, including journalists. thetyee.ca/News/2024/08...

except for that $14 mil we have committed to see if we might want to make a plan for plan about potentially panning to see if maybe B.C. would change its mind about a pipeline being built in the very distant future.

Well I guess that settles it. Talks have resumed but "the strike has not been averted." Alberta teachers are primed to walk off the job Monday, Oct. 6. #ableg #abpoli #abed #yeg #yyc

“There just simply isn’t more money. We have to respect taxpayers.” Smith said. That is a manufactured budget constraint. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Seems like a big deal. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #cdnpoli #ableg. NB: $10.7 billion is undoubtedly an underestimate. Total oil sands mine closure estimates have swung wildly in the past 4 yrs (graph), which tells you something about their reliability.

Yup. This all feels very much like an effort to create a new wedge with Ottawa, and Carney needs to get in front of it before the narrative fully takes hold. If there is a "grand bargain" to be had here then he needs to spell out its requirements for Alberta/industry.

Only in Alberta... Does the mandate letter for the minister of environment include... - Increase the use of plastic products - Decrease protections for endangered species - Fight for looser emissions controls - Build an argument that Alberta's burning forests are Carbon sinks.

"That was an extremely valid question, and it deserved a serious response. That did not happen. McAllister deflected it with a glib joke about how the RCMP wasn’t investigating the federal Liberals. That was it, right there. That was this entire charade in miniature." #abpoli

Premature baby dies of measles in Alberta after pregnant mother contracts disease

Totally normal non-authoritarian stuff. FREEDOM!

Wait, Tyler Cowen has been writing about how to find virgins since 2009 while he was a professor at George Mason University

This is a fucking tragedy www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“Nah sorry I can’t come to the movies, I only watch virgins on my screens” normal stuff!!!!!

She called it. The media blew it by letting a serial liar off the hook

Alberta is stepping in to kill Canmore’s “vacancy tax” after developers lobbied the government to intervene. This is the third example we found where the building industry association petitioned the province to override municipal affordable housing policies. zurl.co/aDS7T #abpoli #housing

I'm not seeing a single mention of the six Canadians on the Sumud Flotilla in any major news outlets.

WTAF: “Federal agents, using drones, helicopters, trucks and dozens of vehicles, conducted a middle-of-the-night raid on a rundown apartment building on the South Side of Chicago…Snipers rappelled down from helicopters on top of the apartment complex…” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/u...

Just three months ago they were brazenly denying that there were any #Medicaid cuts at all in the budget reconciliation law, despite the $990B in cuts being the largest cuts to the program in history which will make 7.5M people uninsured.

Sorry. I wanted to show a picture of Steve with this one, but I can't find him?

This is a great Canadian politics-media tweet

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans lost their minds over Burisma and a $10k check to pay off a truck loan. But sure,,,nothing to see here.

For context, the BC Conservative staffer fired for spreading residential school denialism on Orange Shirt Day has a long and clear history of promoting anti-Indigenous, denialist content. It's no accident; they are following the far-right playbook: provoke, platform, profit🧵

A plan to plan. A proposal to propose. A populist's promise: No finish. All pose.

Let’s be clear: Israel has no “right to isolate” Gaza. The Global Sumud is challenging an illegal siege, which uses starvation as a weapon of war. CBC's framing erases that reality and launders a crime against humanity. #SumudFlotilla #Gaza
