so pathetic

"I broke it, you fix it" --Trump on everything to everyone

👇🏻

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good morning. I descaled my coffee maker yesterday. I didn’t run enough water only cycles

Trump shooting himself in the foot, then blaming everyone else, would be funny if he wasn’t still holding a gun and a briefcase of certain codes.

Here's the text:

And the actual text is now available in tomorrow's order paper. And it's no ordinary motion; it is a motion to actually begin the amendment process under s 46 of the Constitution Act, 1982. docs.assembly.ab.ca/LADDAR_files... #ableg #abpoli

Feb 19 Ms Smith announces a referendum to initiate a process to amend s 96 of the Constitution (appointment of judges). And then today she announces, w/out waiting for that vote, that the Leg will be asked to adopt a motion on the same issue. Doesn't she trust voters? www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) warned the University of Alberta about the dangers of dropping EDI considerations from recruitment and hiring policy. Instead of reconsidering or providing a strong defence for the policy change UofA went ahead regardless ccla.org/press-releas...

The old narratives are tired. Cut taxes. Slash spending. Watch the economy soar. We've heard it for 30 years. Gillian Petit and I built Inclusiecon to build the evidence base for something better. New blog is up. 👇 deadfortaxreasons.wordpress.com/2026/03/30/t...

Parental Preferences and Unmet Demand for Child Care for Children Aged Zero to Five Years in Canada Open access. Take that all those right wing white men who told me in knee jerk reaction that back in 2021 that there were already enough ECEE spaces to meet demand utppublishing.com/doi/10.3138/...

oh now SUDDENLY he hates it when you tax international trade

Canadian Tax Journal call for proposals: Policy Forum on National Defence and Public Finances. Canada has set targets to sharply increase defence spending. What does this mean for public finances? Write for the CTJ Policy Forum! Proposals due April 15th. www.ctf.ca/EN/Publicati...

I can’t be the only one that finds irony in the UCP limiting MAiD while also doing things like clawing back income supports, voting against accessibility legislation, denying medical healthcare to gender diverse people, and so on. www.alberta.ca/protecting-v...

Whoa! "It's very serious misconduct, because WestJet had all the knowledge to tell the court, 'We swapped the aircraft.' They did not do that." www.cbc.ca/news/gopubli...

That little weather break was nice while it lasted

For the Sunday crowd, my latest episode where @aleach.ca and I talk about the economics and feasibility of east coast LNG #cdnpoli

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

That’s just a little on the nose, police state

Well this is just going to piss off the Alberta NDP base more 🤦🏻‍♀️. While doubling down on pipelines wins more votes outside of the base, its loses votes and support within the base

Alberta NDP Leader @naheednenshi.bsky.social immediately distances his party from the federal party. This statement just out, minutes after @avilewis.ca becomes federal NDP leader. #cdnpoli

Bold and aspirational!= implementable 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does Avi Lewis leading the NDP breathe life back into a party that has struggled in its identity since electing Mulcair. And what does this do to the Carney Liberal support.

Here you go everyone! Do the survey

That UCP text was a way to discern who to send a survey about education to. Have fun folks. unitedconservativecaucus.ca/surveys/educ...

Great news, which means we can put an 80% wealth tax on billionaires since they don't need to hoard so much money for retirement I suppose.

What?! Elon Musk says saving for retirement ‘won’t matter’ in 10 to 20 years, thanks to AI and abundance. money.ca/retirement/m...

Sliding? I got the impression it had already slid.

Reminding us that pulling out of the CPP is actually never a good idea. 🫡 "The idea of pulling out of the Canada Pension Plan was a massive benefit for Alberta in 2001 and it's become much less of a benefit to Alberta over time," Boessenkool said. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Let’s start by clearing out all the troglodytes on the Board of Governors who were not hired based on merit but rather because they’re donors to the UCP. That’s how this works, right Janice?

Alberta is certainly doing nothing to beat the ”Canadian Texas” vibe

Janice MacKinnon exemplifying why why white women, especially of her generation, are often vilified for maintaining barriers for those that come behind them 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

TACO.

As post secondary institutions close satellite campuses across the land, I am ready many similar stories as below but I notice a common trend—a blame of the feds and post secondary but nary a mention of the real culprit, the provinces. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Don’t ever change, Peter 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 Consultation should not present a problem but union/management co-governance in our universities must be avoided. nationalpost.com/opinion/ai-u...

I needed to buy carrots this week, and my local supermarket had a bag of “ugly” ones. Anyway, please enjoy this selection of sexy leggy carrots.

Trump: "We have a thing called a war, or as they would rather say, a military operation. It's for legal reasons. Because as a military operation, I don't need any approvals. As a war you're supposed to get approval from Congress. Something like that. So I call it a military operation."

"Is the university [there] to make money, or there to provide services?" he said. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Best thing ever. Putting my academic CV into Claude and having it format it, update it, and keep a running tab on it from here on out. This is priceless.

Hubby is teaching P is code in Python as my instructions to just use Claude didn't fly with software developer hubby all that well

I don’t know how many times, how many studies, where we show assigned agents, human agents, are essential to case files, essential to dignity, to everything humanity, before conservatives get it. But apparently more because 👇🏻 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
