When the UCP uses the notwithstanding clause tomorrow, watch defenders say, "it's totally legal" or "we had no choice." They're deflecting. The UCP wants to exact as much harm on transgender folks as possible. And they know their actions are not justifiable in a democratic society. Who's next?

Know any of these people?

I got a bunch of mail today and I am so happy that my friends and comrades still like to write and send cards, letters and other wonderful mail.

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

No punches pulled in this analysis of the presently-disappointing response to the strike-breaking Bill 2.

In case you were wondering, I don’t give a single fuck about govt deficits. And neither should you.

NEW EP: Alberta Teachers and the End of Collective Bargaining: Text Resist to 55255 albertaadvantagepod.com/2025/11/04/a...

The resistance is going to be texted. Enjoy our rant!

I don’t normally study far enough back to reach a firm conclusion but it feels like the lack of food often leads to social and political unrest, no?

2025 Alberta Scavenger Hunt: find a Covid vaccination in your actual city.

It’s not a slippery slope. We’ve already slid down the slide.

Huh, wonder what would’ve happened if they’d listened to me in September 2022 when I suggested they were already behind beginning the process??

Cowards here, cowards there. Is there anyone with the courage to actually fight??

Also teachers look after your annoying kids all day. Just pay them.

We either have rights or we don’t and in Alberta we don’t. We’re all gonna have to unite to fight this class warfare.

Strongly worded statements are nice and all but they’re not gonna win this fight. We’re gonna have to be willing to risk it (and we definitely should). ✊🏻

NEW from me ✨ Excited to share the latest collab between @xtramagazine.com and @thewalrus.ca today, where I dive into how far-right groups are setting the education policy agenda in Alberta, and have put LGBTQ2S+ youth in the centre of the culture war xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Alberta teachers strike/lockout, Day 11 (day 8 of no classes): Premier Danielle Smith floats the idea of striking another commission on learning, like the 2003 effort that came out of a previous teachers’ strike. ATA: uh, no thanks #AbLeg #AbEd www.stalbertgazette.com/politics/alb...

I think the certainty is always our downfall. No one actually knows what will "work." No one. You try lots of different things and then you see what can be built on.

Canadians pay a lot of attention to ICE in the U.S., but meanwhile, in local immigration enforcement: "We’ve been seeing this more and more ... CBSA has been newly enhanced and newly empowered."

✊🏻

Huh, 2014 Danielle Smith might’ve been onto something

Solidarity ✊🏻

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

The way everyone in a position of power in the government and at Canada Post refuses to entertain any of the proven methods that have saved other post offices and made them profitable is pathological. How would they be behaving any differently if they were actively trying to make Canada Post fail?

NEW: Me and @emmapaling.bsky.social break down how the Israel lobby shaped Canada's official definition of antisemitism. Includes new docs showing how pro-Israel groups were directly involved in influencing the contents of the federal government's IHRA handbook. www.readthemaple.com/how-the-isra...

Until a few years ago, it was a criminal offence in Canada to scare the Queen of England The Carney government's new hate crime proposals have a similar aim—to protect the ruling classes from discomfort and political dissent My latest for @breachmedia.ca breachmedia.ca/new-hate-cri...

Let’s go, Blue Jays!

Solidarity with my AB teacher comrades. Keep fighting. We’ve got your back. ✊🏻❤️🔥

BREAKING: Since dawn, Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 46 Palestinians, despite US President Trump’s call for Israel to cease its attacks, medical sources told our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/08ph6v

Want to learn more about why teachers are striking in Alberta? Read @iandoktor.bsky.social to learn how Alberta Government went from having to convince 12% of teachers to sign up for their deal to now 90% of teachers voting against the governments deal www.parklandinstitute.ca/disrespect

When Canada needed oil during WWII, Imperial was under Crown control serving the public interest. Now it's 70% owned by ExxonMobil. Billions in profits, cutting 1 in 5 jobs. The biggest enemy of fossil fuel workers is not climate activists. It's the industry itself.

Hahahahahaha

O&G does not love you back. They only love one thing: money.

So proud of our comrades for holding the line. The solution is simple: pay them fairly and treat them like humans ✊🏻

✊🏻

Looks like this is shaping up to be a battle between same old, same old and real, radical change. www.cbc.ca/radio/frontb...

It’s not a war, it’s a fucking genocide. FFS

The Blue Jays are going to give me a heart attack before this is over.

As they should. Ottawa just ran roughshod over the rights of CUPW workers.

Masterful Gambit Mr Carney

Let’s go! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Fantastic solidarity statement from the Alberta Federation of Labour today. Every union should follow suit. afl.org/statement-th...

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Once again asking why a public service is expected to behave like a corporation and earn profits? Shouldn't every Canadian, including those in rural areas, have the right to receive essential mail, such as ID cards, benefit cheques, and medication? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Canada, France, and the United Kingdom recognized Palestine as a state this week but continue to fund Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Really wouldn’t mind going to Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur services but there’s no escaping the Zionism around here.

Workers are happier and therefore more productive at home. This is about surveillance and office rent/parking.
