It's well past time for Canadian government officials to get off of X, @jameswsthomson.com writes. This latest — disgusting — incident is just one more reason.

Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

Agreed, push her to say things out loud.

I know everyone will be *shocked* by the fact that CEO salaries have climbed by 49% since 2020. We need a major overhaul of the Canadian Income Tax Act. And we need to stop pretending that “trickle down” is an actual thing - because quite clearly, it’s not. #Cdnpoli #Abpoli #CanadaSky

It is not just an American problem.

The steaks can't be higher...

Wait, doesn’t Trump want to violently suppress peaceful protests in the US?

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

We can live without electricity. We can't live without potable water. Is AI worth your life? Anyone's?

Comments on this are gold.

Share this guy’s wisdom around. So accurate!

If this year was about getting off US tech, 2026 is the year to reassess the digital revolution — what works, what doesn’t; what to keep, and what to reject. I’ve only just started to consider what needs to change about how I use digital technology, but I’m excited to learn more next year.

“shouldn’t have worn my Blundstones”

My wish for 2026 is for Ukraine's victory. This is the only way Russia's war can possibly end. I believe in the Ukrainian people; they are the vanguard of the West, the leaders of the Free World. Let's back them with everything we've got.

Building a lie out of bread. Pretty clear breakdown of how the misinformation machines on the right craft their lies. Sound up. Great video. #cdnpoli

Rebecca Schultz's replacement in cabinet is going to be Shane "I was taking care packages to the insurrectionists blockade at Coutt's" Hunter. Not much could scream "we are actually separatists" louder than this. We need a fucking election. Now. #ableg #abpoli

As this year comes to an end, my resolve is clearer than ever. The UCP and their separatist friends can be damned, this is my Alberta too, and I’ll fight you to the end. I don’t think you're bright enough to win. Happy New Year to those defending our home. 🏔️ #Abpoli #ABleg #Cndpoli

”Take your life as it exists today. Now imagine no Canadian passport. Imagine border checks to visit family in B.C. or Manitoba. Imagine your pension, healthcare, trade agreements, currency, and mobility all thrown into uncertainty, overnight.” open.substack.com/pub/colenotc... #ableg

Secession of any province requires a constitutional amendment, which is subject to the 7/50 rule (Section 38): requiring approval from the House of Commons, the Senate, and at least seven provinces representing 50% of the population for most changes, like altering legislative powers.

I will pitch in for this. Seriously.

The tighter she clings to the separatists, the weaker she gets. Most Albertans are not separatists.

Hello Alberta. This is the thing that the UCP and their leader look up to and admire. They are turning Alberta into the shit hole he has made the US into. Be aware. #RecallThemAll #ableg #abpoli

So much gaslighting

Bring it on, Nenshi dares UCP, call a snap election early in 2026. He says Smith's party is conflicted and confused. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #yyc #yyccc #ableg #yeg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Governing Alberta is a numbers game 44 seats secures a majority where the ruling party can do whatever they want The UCP have 47 seats If we can recall 3 MLAs there's a chance the UCP will lose their majority It's a long shot but Albertans are worth the fight Sign the recalls #ableg #abpoli

This year: - Bolsonaro went to prison - Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested and is being tried - Brazil and Belgium joined S. Africa's ICJ case on Israel's genocide - Global green energy surpassed coal power - Denmark passed a law against deepfakes There are people still fighting to make the world better.

NEW: This week on 'Whatever This Is', we break down Danielle Smith’s Alberta Next report that pushes big changes nobody asked for. We explain the strategy, why it signals weakness, and why scapegoating immigrants for Alberta's problems shows they are out of ideas.

How is this allowed to continue? There are currently zero consequences.

“I feel like I’m a conscientious objector,” said Cheung, an anesthesiologist for 25 years... As a supporter of public health care, Cheung said he objects to a policy that requires him to work in one of Alberta’s private, for-profit chartered surgical facilities..." #abpoli #ableg

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Smith doubled down on her "we need the right kind of immigrants" rhetoric with Spanky... And then again blamed school crowding, housing prices, healthcare collapse and grocery prices on immigrants. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

2025 has been an overall joyous year, but with some really hard parts, some which are ongoing.

She's also paying them each $5000 to move to Alberta, at a time when we have record high unemployment. www.alberta.ca/alberta-is-c...

I woke up super grumpy this morning, which, honestly, is the way 2025 deserves to go out.

Don't drink and drive

It's true. Last time I went to the movies Carney charged me $15 for a small pack of Nibs.

“A report by The New York Times revealed that third-party advertisers like Canada Proud ran disinformation campaigns targeting Mark Carney. The Financial Times also exposed a coordinated campaign on X to support Pierre Poilievre and attack Carney’s reputation.”

meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years. we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this?? between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

How to tell if an image is AI generated.

This whole thing still really bugs me

Anybody who reads about this tragic case and thinks this has to do with a HCW not recognizing the severity at triage has simply NOT been paying attention. threadreaderapp.com/... 1/14

The Liberals sent too many immigrants to Alberta! "In light of Alberta’s unique labour challenges, I am requesting that your government immediately increase Alberta's Provincial Nomination Program allocation to 20,000 annually in 2024, 2025 and 2026." ~Danielle Smith www.alberta.ca/system/files...

Huh. Anyone else notice that it was only after Musk weighed in that the Minister and the Premier did? Prolly just a coincidence though, not like Smith idolizes him or anything… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Damn straight we have ‘an antifa movement’. And it does ‘infiltrate every aspect of society’ but mostly rests quietly until effing fascists come along.
