Canada prioritizes top talent in 2026 immigration Express Entry categories www.canada.ca/en/immigrati... #Canada #cdnpoli

To prebunk what we can expect to hear tomorrow: 🔴 Immigrants pay provincial taxes. 🔴 Many non-immigrants don't. Cutting off immigrants' access to public services isn't about protecting taxpayers. It's about picking and choosing who is worthy of healthcare and education.

At the Munich Security Conference, Lindsey Graham tossed f-bombs at Danish Prime Minister Mette Fredericksen, referring to her as "little lady," implying she could not stand against Trump’s Greenland lust. "Frederiksen simply responded: 'When you’re done with that, the meeting can continue.'"

Dial M for Muppet or Dial Muppet for Murder

Very Alberta messaging Though I think we spend a lot more time blaming the feds than the Texas GOP does blaming theirs

"We inherited a situation where our budget is over reliant on resource revenues." The UCP has been in power since 2019. At some point you're going to have to take responsibility for the decisions your party has made.

...But the scrutiny of ABC weighed on CBS execs. There was a sense, I'm told, that the regulatory environment is uncertain, and that caution is warranted... and that's why network lawyers called Colbert's show. On CNN tonight, I called it an example of "obeying in advance."

there’s a whole different America out there posting on Threads

Took a second … and then. Wow, indeed

Latest read (audio), To Marry Medusa (1958) by Theodore Sturgeon; an alien intelligence/parasite, called Medusa, overtakes mankind but with unexpected results. This was fun. Sturgeon was not 'PC', very nearly none of his generation of SF writers were. Regardless, he was very entertaining. #BookSky

“Despite the 438,568 signatures collected in support of Alberta remaining in Canada, the opposing petition was able to proceed after Premier Danielle Smith relaxed the rules governing citizen petitions.” www-ledevoir-com.translate.goog/politique/ca...

Zelenskyy: “For our army, the mission is clear: to destroy more Russian occupiers. “And the goal is specific—at least 50,000 per month.”

For those who love Derry Girls, the creator, Lisa McGee made a new dark comedy with all the same wit but it’s deliciously deranged. How To Get To Heaven From Belfast is like if the Derry Girls grew up and moved to Twin Peaks. The constant wit makes the horror all the more deranged. Worth a watch.

If this happens, the first thing Chinese will do is ban four-down football. No more Superbowl! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Secession, not succession… but all of these states have higher support for it than Alberta does with a hard 8% ready to split from 🇨🇦 (Angus Reid, Feb ‘26) In Alberta, we need to take these people seriously and defend our country And make sure that % doesn’t grow #AbPoli

The CBC made this clever & cute video that uses kids to explain the rules of curling:

Trump can’t pardon election felon Tina Peters for state crimes, so he’s squeezing Colorado instead—moving Space Command, canceling $100 mn in grants, and vetoing a clean-water pipeline. This type of presidential coercion threatens federalism and rewards election misconduct, this CATO paper argues.

And Canada have the lead again, scoring three with the hammer to make it 8-7

Where are the triage liaison physicians the government announced would help overtaxed ERs starting Feb. 1? The AB govt and health authorities won’t say if any are working. I asked 7 times in two weeks. #AbLeg #AbHealth

NEW: CMHC says in order for Calgary to remain compliant with its funding agreement, any updated zoning “must not reintroduce exclusionary (single family only) zoning.” globalnews.ca/news/1166410...

Today #yyccc was told that a full repeal of blanket rezoning puts over $800 million in federal funding at risk, including $251 million in transit funding. In addition, it will jeopardize #yyc being awarded its share of $20 billion in transit funding. We quite literally can't afford to be NIMBYs.

Since many of the councillors and the mayor ran their campaigns on repealing rezoning, they will be loathe to changing course now, and Calgary will suffer for decades to come. Just a colossally bad situation. This is what populism at a municipal level gets you.

Heartbreaking. 💔

mRNA technology is safe and extremely effective in fighting disease. It's a godsend, one of the most important innovations of the 21st century. And the idiot in charge of US health hates it and wants to kill it, while Congressional Dems sit by silently.

Everyone in Windsor knew this was coming

The Alberta government wrongly withheld hundreds of pages of results from its Alberta Next surveys in response to access to information requests from Postmedia, an adjudicator has ruled. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

When your kid gives you a tour of the college radio station where she works (well, volunteers… it’s uni radio, not a lotta paid positions) So cool #CollegeRadio

"Sovereign Alberta in a United Canada." How can he not remember that mantra. By using the word independent he makes things even worse.

The performance was political from the first image to the last. I don’t even know how to explain this to someone who so thoroughly didn’t understand it

Really interesting thread

it never even occurred to me that this was happening as it happened because it seemed impossible but gotdamn that's the best thing to ever happen during a super bowl halftime.

@aircanada.bsky.social An hour and a half after boarding AC141 , this full flight is still at gate waiting on a bag or cargo Crew is being positive & passengers are being polite but maybe it’s time to goooooooo

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them
