The Alberta teacher strike that has affected more than 700,000 students isn’t just another labour dispute. It’s the latest front in a long campaign to undermine education — closely linked to the right-wing Project 2025 initiative to transform America. @ximenaka.bsky.social writes. #abpoli #uspoli

1/6 ALBERTA FEDERATION OF LABOUR DECLARES TEACHER BILL 'THE LAST STRAW'. #AFL launches "Ready to Resist" campaign, a direct challenge to the Smith's #UCP. If UCP strip teachers of their "constitutionally protected right to strike," it's the final catalyst for mass protest. #ABpoli #ReadyToResist

The Alberta government is spending $20 million dollars PER DAY by not negotiating with teachers. That's $100 million per week. That's one Tylenot scandal each and every week. These people are fiscally and morally incompetent. #ableg #abpoli

Meta touts safety, yet EU slams its labyrinthine flagging farce for shielding child abuse and terror filth, imposing dark patterns that thwart user reports and stifle dissent. Grassroots scrutiny unmasks the rot. #DigitalServicesAct

Alberta asserts sovereignty with Bill 1; critics call it distraction from labour unrest www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Our new Substack article is live! And it asks a very serious question... Should media be intimidated by people using the tools of lawfare to suppress opinions they disagree with? Because it looks like that might be what happened in Alberta! #abpoli open.substack.com/pub/thebreak...

Oh fun! The Royal Alberta museum is doing an exhibit on Danielle Smith’s disintegration of healthcare in Alberta! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The rumours of some moderate CPC members considering crossing the aisle are true. My sources are reliable. They want to separate their brand from Poilievre. Watch this space. #cdnpoli

Just a reminder… While Smith and Lagrange are talking about the biggest factors influencing health outcomes and why they’re profitizing Alberta’s healthcare… The #1 factor that determines health outcomes is made worse by the policy. It’s poverty. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Ah, that explains the very enthusiastic audience last night in spite of a fairly flat speech. It included young Liberal staffers. How very early Doug Ford of him. "Billed as a live address to the country, Carney delivered remarks before an audience of students and young Liberal staffers..."

This is so scary #Canada #CdnPoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

An upside [for Canadians] to the deterioration in the Canada-US relationship is that Ottawa is now more open to the idea of adopting EU standards over US ones. Hopefully this continues to building standards as well. motorillustrated.com/volkswagen-c...

Much of Poilievre’s caucus is already in sync with his political style: confrontational, rigidly ideological and comfortable with conspiracy.

Smith / #UCP: We can't afford another $2B over 4yrs. Public - that's $500M / yr. Smith / #UCP - So? Public - You put $500M / yr into PRIVATE schools. Smith/ #UCP - were hoping you wouldn't notice that. We noticed. Put tax dollars into PUBLIC schools. #ableg #abed #abpoli #cndpoli

Weak, pathetic, lying POS tries to take it back. Too late! Poilievre backpedals on RCMP comments after days of pushback. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Good evening. I'll get right to it. You all need to be fucking mad as hell right now. Because what Danielle Smith’s government is threatening to do in Alberta isn’t a negotiation tactic. It’s a constitutional crisis in the making. #ableg #abed #abpoli #cdnpoli

Remember for tomorrow: a thread. 1/ If you must have a phone, and you can swing it, bring the cheapest burner phone you can find. **Do not, under any circumstances, program a damn thing on it** in case it is lost or taken from you. Be willing to sacrifice it by damaging it. Fewer phones = better.

Alberta is currently seeing the first province-wide teachers strike in the province's history. Here's how that happened—and what's at stake. By Heather Ganshorn @policyalternatives.ca #AbEd www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

1/8 🇨🇦 ALBERTA PRIVATE SCHOOLS UNDER THE MICROSCOPE AS STRIKE CONTINUES 🇨🇦 As the province-wide teachers' strike enters its 2nd week, the contentious issue of #PublicFunding for #PrivateSchools has been thrust into the spotlight, a new opinion piece argues.

Hello everyone. Antifa is not a real organization. Proud Boys are. Oath Keepers are. Patriot Front is. KKK is. Heritage Foundation is. Antifa is not. Thanks for your attention.

The article states that the 8 different designs will be unveiled in a presser in #Calgary on Wednesday. Which means the premier will be at McDougall Centre on Wednesday. You know what to do, #YYC. 😈 maps.app.goo.gl/CANujBXP9Dgv... #AbLeg #AbPoli #FireTheUCP #FcukDanielleSmith

“Make an effort to understand the imperative [for climate action] and recognise the huge opportunities,” he said. “Those opportunities are your growth story – inaction is catastrophic.” In Feb UK’s net zero sector was growing 3X faster than the overall UK economy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The living Israeli hostages have been released as part of a ceasefire deal that also saw about 2000 Palestinian prisoners freed. Wait, but why are the Israelis “hostages” and the Palestinians “prisoners”? In today’s video, that’s the question we’re exploring:
