I just booked my first riding lesson in about 35 years! I figured it was about time to get back in the saddle again…so excited! And nervous but mostly excited

Such a huge loss

If this is what the drug companies are charging, why is the Alberta Government going to make people pay ~$100 per dose? “Moderna and Pfizer were charging more affluent nations and the EU for their mRNA vaccines with prices ranging from $14.70 to $23.50 a dose.” pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Return, compensation and full apology. Anything less is unacceptable. #cdnpoli / #polcan Retour, indemnisation et excuses complètes. Toute offre inférieure à ces conditions est inacceptable.

The person destroying vaccines, clean water, pasteurization, and almost all public health accomplishment in the last century wants you to know it's your fault if you are unhealthy.

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

Way to go Alberta. This was totally preventable www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

So angry at this decision Albertans to start paying for COVID-19 vaccines after province changes immunization program

So interesting! www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Yet Alberta is going this route? Danielle Smith is so dangerous. #ableg #cdnpoli

Another turn for the worse in the CorruptCare scandal. Demand a public inquiry now ➡️https://corruptcare.ca

Smith was directly asked today if her new plan for surgeries in Alberta would gut the public system and allow access to public facilities for private for profit operators... Her response? "Mmmhm" No. For reals. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

If he really cared about these issues he wouldn’t have voted against solving them.

Danielle Smith tries to turn tables on critics with diatribe defending plan to meet far-right Florida bloviator today. albertapolitics.ca/2025/03/dani...

There’s some stunning info in the new @ParklandInst report on surgeries in Alberta… And it seems pretty clear that private for profit surgeries are choking out the public system. (Link will be in last post) Thread! /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

According to Meta’s Facebook ad library, Canada Proud has spent ~$15,000 on Carney-Epstein attack ads that have been viewed 2 million times Friends of Canadian Media says these unregulated companies “make billions of dollars by allowing ads with disinformation … to be displayed on their platforms”

Statement from Athana Mentzelopoulos, former AHS CEO.

Some cuteness to break up my regular political posts

Turns out abandoning harm reduction is bad. SHOCKER.

“Congress has allowed Presidents to engage in temporary hostilities for up to 60 days without Congressional…President Trump’s reckless rhetoric on territorial expansion makes clear that he cannot be trusted with unchecked war powers.” www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Hopefully this investigation actually gets some answers

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

Smith will never live this down.

Your regular reminder: Albertans don't want public funds flowing to private schools. But the government benefits from the myth that they do.

Glad to see Zelenskyy standing up to Trump’s and Vance’s belligerence. I don’t feel like Trump has the Ukrainian people in mind at all. He’s looking out for himself and no one else

This might be the friendliest debate I’ve ever watched

Peter Guthrie, UCP Minister and Airdrie-Cochrane MLA, has resigned from Cabinet citing corruption. The allegations against the UCP government are the most serious I’ve ever seen. One down, more to go. Including the Health Minister and Premier. Keep the pressure on, Alberta.

An update from the show… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli youtu.be/M37Ymm0b9QI?...

So I read all of Mentzelopoulos's lawsuit. A 🧵

Donald Trump just stated that bullies are the weakest people. Interesting admission (or it would be if he had an ounce of self awareness)

The use of the boycott has a long and powerful tradition of taking on tyranny. The grassroots Canadian boycott against Trump is having a serious effect. And we've only just begun.. Please read on how we can use our dollars to resist the gangster in Washington. substack.com/@charlieangu...

He’s quite concerned that I am leaving him to go to work

Danielle Smith has spent the last three months trying to woo the incoming Trump administration & carve out special treatment for Alberta's oil and gas industry. She and her oil and gas patrons could soon live to regret it — bigly #DanielleSmith #fossilfuels www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/07/o...

Good video about pulling back the curtain on Trump’s bluster. “Don’t believe him!” www.facebook.com/share/r/1DQ2...

“Throughout 2024, Mentzelopoulos had been repeatedly subject to interference and pressure from various Government of Alberta officials – including the Premier’s then-Chief of Staff, Marshall Smith” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Say it with your chest

“The Conservative Party leader continues to play politics at the expense of national unity at a time when we’re facing an imminent U.S. trade war.” cultmtl.com/2025/01/pier...

“I guess my concern is that not taking an intelligence briefing because you can’t turn it into a meme is not the seriousness with which we should be approaching this issue.”

Today a group of experts wrote an open letter on Smith's COVID report asking it to "be officially dismissed for use as a source of information for both public & provincial policy, as it inaccurately reflects the body of scientific evidence." /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Smith today on the condemnation her $2 Million COVID report boondoggle has received from the Alberta Medical Association, the Canadian Medical Association and many more… “They’re just angry cause they don’t know how to science like I do” This clip is bonkers. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
