This is literally NONSENSE. Absolutely nonsensical! Reminder: the Premier has NO medical expertise whatsoever, and seems to be getting horrendous advice (if she isn’t intentionally trying to mislead here) Let’s delve into a couple of points: x.com/thebreakdownab... 1/5

A UCP-majority committee refused to give Alberta’s chief electoral officer the funding he says he needs to administer recall and citizen petition applications. Campaigners say it’s a political move to thwart their efforts to hold the government accountable. #AbLeg

Not even hiding the blatant entitlement anymore. The Premier's Office continues to remove all checks and balances on its power. The courts, the legislature, the Auditor General, independent agencies, the federal government, voters and candidates they don't like... This is getting ridiculous.

To be clear, there are no data that provide a link between short-term use of Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. In fact, one of the best prospective studies w/ sibling controls, if anything, pointed to a protective effect for use less than 7 days acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I do not care if Canada post is ever profitable. It is a public service, everyone owns it. That’s valuable in and of itself. We don’t ask the emergency room or public schools to turn a profit. We ask them to be accessible for everyone to use.

I'm back and I'm already VERY INCENSED about something from the National Post. This piece, with its shitty clickbait headline attacking the Canadian government's tiny pushback amid an ongoing genocide, is written by the National Post's EDITOR IN CHIEF!!! He rarely writes articles... (cont)

I'M BAAAACCCKKKKKK!!! Did you miss me?? I missed you!! I also missed some big news days! So let's talk about everything: from Carney's cabinet, to concerning Conservative Party fundraising emails, to creepy Canadian columnists. Let's dive in! youtu.be/AWyFKR4_SUo

An important update to my last video on Bill 54. Turns out it’s even more toxic & anti-democratic than we thought. So bad, the Chief Electoral Officer himself is speaking out, saying it will make it next to impossible to enforce our election laws. Take a watch to learn more. Part 1/2 #abpoli

I love this so much

Laws banning abortion are one way to restrict abortions. Others are lowering funding for clinics, restricting the numbers of clinics, restricting education for children, youth, and adults, etc. Canadians need to be wary given how many Conservatives have publicly stated they are anti-abortion.

Canada, abortion is the canary in the coal mine. Restricting abortion is a tool of authoritarian regimes. Which party has the forced birth candidates? The conservatives! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If you think Carney 'has this nailed' and so there is no need to vote, please reconsider. Every vote counts so please don't hand this to the Cons. #CdnPoli

Politics at play in departure of Alberta's chief medical officer? Health experts fear Dr. Mark Joffe was silenced from urging #measles #vaccination, by Juliet Guichon, Ian Mitchell calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... via @calgaryherald.com

Get out and vote, like your country depends on it!! Canada Strong! 🇨🇦💪🏽

Voted with my newly minted adult child. Good to see lineups at advance voting. Everything well run. Kudos to all the staff. GET OUT ANS VOTE! #CanadaVotes

"I haven't followed Canadian politics closely, but when a politician talks of limiting free press, activities at universities & defying the courts, it's the canary in a coal mine for autocracy" - Harvard University Professor when asked his opinion on Pierre Poilievre. #Canada #cdnpoli #elxn45

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

We got our Canadian election voter card in the mail this week, and will be taking advantage of the 4 days of advance voting that will make it easy. Remember, the polls look good for Carney, but DON’T be overconfident. Polls don’t win elections. Neither do pundits. TURNOUT wins elections. #VOTE

Vaccination skeptics should have a look at this figure. It shows the impact of the introduction of RSV vaccination for patients aged 75-80 on hospital admissions in the UK. tinyurl.com/5d48u7mm

Okay I’ve scoured the news but I still can’t find how much the tariffs are on the fentanyl that is exported from Canada to the US. Is it covered under CUSMA? #sarcasm

We're very excited to announce journalists @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and Emily Baron Cadloff are teaming up with National Observer staff for a biweekly election fact-checking segment. First post coming tomorrow! Follow for updates.

This is an excellent factual video. PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE.

If CTV News didn't have the "bandwidth" to stand up to a specious Conservative Party of Canada/trolls attack on a journalist they commissioned to conduct fact checking, how will they handle the exponentially greater public anger over their journalistic cowardice?

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom. If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

Remember when Kamala’s polls looked great, she had bigger crowds and everyone said Trump would lose? Yeah, me too. That’s why I’m speaking with family, friends and neighbours. Please do the same - ignore the noise. This the most important election of our lifetime. #CanadaStrong #Carney

Poilievre vows to cut federal research funding like Trump/Musk For researching what exactly? Issues that affect racialized people? Trans folks? Anyone who ain’t white and rich? Sure sounds like the same fascist bullshit No to #LittleTrump

Canada stands shoulder to shoulder with Greenland. Today's dance expresses solidarity with the resilient Greenlandic Inuit people and all other communities who form the lovely fabric of Greenland. Invaders may persist, but your resilience will prevail.

Via @geoffdembicki.bsky.social Danielle Smith and Ben Shapiro discuss Canada electing ‘solid allies’ to Trump at Florida event www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/27/n...

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Danielle Smith claims flying to Florida to pose with Ben Shapiro is “going into the lion’s den”. The truth is, it’s a trip to a Republican safe space, a far-right fundraiser & more about pumping the Premier’s ego than promoting Alberta. Albertans shouldn’t be on the hook to pay for it. #ableg

My sister pretty much nails it here. They dropped the apartment block on those kids because they wanted to play with their new toys.

Rather than continue down this path, the Parkland Institute suggests the government should properly fund public hospitals, staff existing operating rooms during idle hours and adopt centralized waitlists provincially. lethbridgenewsnow.com/2025/03/26/p...

It’s very unfortunate to see the Alberta government refuse to engage in the substantive issues raised, and instead attack the integrity of the researcher (me) & Parkland Institute. I would be happy to walk them through the findings and public data sources used. Cheaper than consultants (no cost)!

On April 1st, tens of thousands of Alberta families lose the childcare subsidy. Why? Because the UCP have cut it. I've heard from so many of you who are struggling to make ends meet. This cut has just made your lives a whole lot less affordable.

“Private surgical facilities in Alberta are starving the public system of staff and funding to perform priority procedures, according to a new report that concludes the province has yet to increase surgical capacity or reduce wait times as pledged.” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Carney, on Poilievre's (dubious) claim he is somehow beholden to China: "absolutely not." "Mr. Poilievre doesn't understand the world," he adds. "Mr. Poilievre is a lifelong politician, that's all he's ever done. He's slogans, soundbites, slander. [He] doesn't understand how the world works."

Pierre Poilievre's press secretary, Sebastien Skamski, is giving Canadians a preview of what they can expect if Pierre Poilievre is elected - which, exactly mirrors what we're seeing under Trump in the United States. 1

Carney on this, just now: "I find it beyond baffling, I find it downright irresponsible, that the leader of the opposition...refuses to obtain his security clearance." "At this point in our history, when we face the greatest threats that we've faced in generations...he has to answer for that."

"Let’s state this plainly: a sitting Canadian premier says she asked our enemy... to alter policy in order to help elect a... candidate who is better aligned with that enemy of the country." I'm with Bruce: illegal or not, we can't treat this as politics-as-usual. www.thestar.com/politics/pol...

Reminder: Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to apply for the normal, usual security clearance, the Canadian media is STILL under-reporting that, and I’m STILL choosing to assume under these dangerous and scary circumstances that it’s because he knows that he wouldn’t pass the security check.

My newly adult child is registered to vote! Hooray!

Timeline cleanse!

One of the hallmarks of liberal democracy is the peaceful transfer of power. That relies on both elite consensus around conceding defeat and losers' consent among the masses. Danielle Smith's behaviour this week has raised genuine concern on these fronts. +

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
