For the morning crowd, my @xtramagazine.com column: Provinces' cavalier use of the Notwithstanding Clause a dangerous sign #canqueer #cdnpoli

This is one of the most sickening things I've read in a long time. We need names *yesterday*

New from me: I read through the policy proposals at the upcoming UCP AGM so you don't have to. Among them is a ban on Pride flags from flying on government property in Alberta xtramagazine.com/video/albert...

This one’s for Dani. From baseload to flexibility: Renewables are displacing fossil fuel plants in electricity generation #UnlockRenewbles #TheFutureIsElectric #AbPoli #CdnPoli #ReEngineerEnergy

Nope, I’ve no idea. Not in my wheelhouse of expertise. Though now I’m curious to know the answer.

If Sarah Kendzior is indeed blocked on @bsky.app, this is a completely unjustified and highly questionable move. Sarah Kendzior is among the best voices of knowledge-based critical journalism in the US. See to it that this is corrected immediately and with an apology, @pfrazee.com!

This has been my political theory about Smith. She wants Albertans to make her a US governor via separation. She wants to be a US governor, not a Canadian premier.

On a week that... - There were multiple reports of worsening Red Alerts - A major story broke about Paramedic burnout - Stunning numbers came out about ambulances being staffed only because of overtime... Smith claims EMS is fixed. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #EMSCrisis

I can’t believe there are people who oppose free vaccines. They have zero possibility of ‘system abuse’ because who tf wants unnecessary shots, and every shot given out personally saves you money and personally makes you healthier.

Today, on National Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour the strength, courage, and resilience of Métis, First Nations, and Inuit veterans who served Canada. Their service and sacrifice have too often gone unrecognized, yet their contributions are woven into the fabric of our shared history.

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers. This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.

This story is from a couple of weeks back but it's not going away. Maybe this is a dumb question: Have (or will) post secondaries respond in a coherent way? How about the opposition? #ableg #abpoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

A failed UCP candidate is suing @pressprogress.ca for reporting and quoting things she said. With no anti-SLAPP protection in Alberta, they've been drawn into a long, costly legal battle. If you believe in accountability and a free press, and can spare it, give them your support.

8 November 1942 | A transport of some 1,000 Polish Jews - men, women, and children - deported from ghettos in Ciechanów region (part of German-occupied Poland annexed to the Third Reich). After the arrival selection, all of them were murdered in gas chambers.

Great piece by @theturner.bsky.social. "There might be a moment, nearer at hand than many expect, when a revolution too cheap to contain and too big to ignore forces Canada to choose more conclusively which side of the divide will best fuel its future." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

There were many numbers shared during the Alberta teacher strike about the cost of contract proposals. But harder to find how much the govt planned to spend hiring new teachers and EAs. The education minister says some of the $ to hire 3000 new Ts is money already in the 2025 budget #AbLeg #AbEd

Smith will chair yet another task force. No topic is beyond her reach and expertise. No minister is worth her trust.

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 🧵

Fellow podcasters, I am currently up for four awards at the Canadian Podcast Awards! Voting ends on Nov. 22 Very much appreciate a vote 👇 canpodawards.ca/vote

Federal Budget's Electrification Plan is a Winner My first quick read Monday was negative. Further reading and some interviews convinced me I was wrong. The Climate Competitiveness Strategy is really good. Interview w/Fernando Melo, @RenewablesAssoc. youtu.be/yaDWS8ngvaI

Mark Carney's first budget included billions in new spending, cuts to the public service, and....the end of a luxury tax on boats and personal aircraft? What that says about his approach to governing — and why it's worth paying attention to. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/06/o...

Today Elections Alberta requested $13.5 million to be able to administer recalls and referendum. The UCP committee in charge revised their request to just over $1 million. And then voted it through. The UCP just defunded recall/referendum. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

When you visually see how much of the 'energy sector' dominates SK and AB economies, understanding their politics makes a lot more sense. Kinda. Source is Stats Canada. I'll also concede there might be more to this story, depending on how we capture the sector as a whole.

This morning at the Standing Committee on Legislative Offices...UCP majority introduces a motion starting a search committee for a new auditor general. NDP MLA David Sheppard says Doug Wylie wants to stay on two more years. Wylie is reviewing the allegations of inappropriate health contracting.

Jeff Jones continuing to do yeoman’s work bringing the O&G closure liability fiasco to #ableg and #cdnpoli. Willful ignorance at the top — among the c-suite, auditors and investors — will keep pushing this bill down onto taxpayers’ lap. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

A petition to remove Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides as MLA for Calgary-Bow has until Jan. 31 next year to gather 16,006 valid signatures Nicolaides appears worried. Perhaps it has occurred to him that some of the 51,000 pissed-off teachers might pitch in to help gather signatures

It’s go time Art Hunters. The sculpture is hidden in a location with a nice view. One that @drdagly.bsky.social would have enjoyed often. Good luck. #yegarthunt #arthuntyeg

The Government of Alberta has referred to COVID vaccines as “an expensive intervention,” to justify a vaccine policy based on pre-ordering, radically reducing community access and charging most Albertans to receive the vaccine. Here are the facts. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

After a younger wizard’s misadventure with my wizard’s staff, I have repaired it and am ready for trick or treaters tonight. Adventure awaits… #LOTR #Gandalf #Halloween #wizard #maiar

Hey, Lethbridge. If you are out trick-or-treating tomorrow, come on by the Rainbow House for a bag of sour Skittles. These are not the “fun size” either. Oh, and after you leave, please visit our neighbours for even more treats.

I'm interviewing Gil Mcgowan, prez of Alberta Federation of Labour, about the Canadian labour movement's response to Danielle Smith invoking the Notwithstanding Clause to end the Alberta teachers' strike. Constitutional crisis, indeed. Go to Energi Media's YouTube or Facebook pages to watch.

I think I am still running on adrenaline. It has been a whirlwind of a 90 day campaign. But it is you, Albertans, who shined. Yes, we received nearly half a million signatures, but we also built a #ForeverCanadian movement, a community. Thank you!   #ableg #cdnpoli
