One thing I love about Canada is that if something happens that we are immensely proud of, we say it is a Heritage Minute. Something uniquely Canadian that has become a term of celebration.

Mackie is doing well. She’ll stay one more night & have bloodwork done, but so far so good. She had activated charcoal & a lot of IV fluids (which sort of flushes the kidneys through ASAP, if my understanding is correct). She was very happy to see the vet today (she’s a big friendly baby).

Congrats to Senator Murphy for reading this into the official record, where it can be viewed by historians for all of eternity. His speech should be required viewing, not just for Americans, but for everyone who values democracy.

"Climate risk has already become a systemic problem for Canada's insurance industry, but the provincial regulators responsible for overseeing it are sharply divided – with Alberta, the province arguably most affected, refusing to even name the problem"

3/ This is not okay. This is lying to Albertans. Let the premier know what you think at [email protected] and copy my office at [email protected] #ableg #abpoli

"China's electricity system is now roughly 1.7× larger than the US and EU combined." Combined.

💡Did you know? Canada was the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism as an official policy in 1971, later reinforced through the Canadian Multiculturalism Act in 1988.

A video claims to show massive crowds "shutting down London" to demand halal food standards. But this supposed footage is AI-generated and entirely fake, despite hundreds of comments appearing to believe it’s genuine.

God, this is so awful.

Since being elected last April, I’ve written eight longer pieces about Alberta, Canada, government, Parliament - and what we can build together - at www.coreyhogan.ca 🧵

Congratulations to Stephanie Nolen, former Globe and Mail reporter, and now New York Times reporter, who was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada for "exposing inequities in health, conflict and social justice...and groundbreaking HIV-AIDS coverage in Africa." www.gg.ca/en/appointme...

Apartheid man boy Elon Musk is a neoNazi who foments race-based violence in foreign countries. That is all. 🤔🧐🙄

There are so many fake stories about PP and Kinew on Facebook, it's discouraging. Most people commenting don't understand its faked. They've no AI Slop radar. They're like dodo birds encountering colonists and their invasive animals for the first time. #MBpoli #cdnpoli

Bingo! Mr. Coyne puts his finger, without saying so out loud, on the reason petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre can never be Prime Minister: his permanent blinkers cause him always and only to look to the far right, while governing requires one to straddle. (As does central banking) 🇨🇦😉🇨🇦

Marie Renaud is officially nominated as our candidate in St. Albert! Fierce advocate. Passionate about her community. Opposition Critic for Community and Social Services. She is ready. Alberta's New Democrats are ready. Help us build: albertandp.ca/marierenaud

🧵🧵🧵 Take this quiz: Which of these quotes are Republicans talking about Somali immigrants and which are Nazis talking about Jews? 1/ They’re “garbage. These are people who do nothing but complain.” 2/ “Public pests … vermin … leeches.” 3/ “They’re all crooks.” 4/ They’re “criminal-minded people.”

I LOVE THIS 🎉

Great to tour SAIT’s Centre for Innovation and Research in Unmanned Systems and the Aldred Centre welding labs yesterday. Impressive to see the applied research, hands-on training, and industry-standard technology helping prepare Alberta’s workforce.

On June 25, 1969, the government introduced the Statement of the Government of Canada on Indian Policy, known as The White Paper. It sought to abolish legal documents including the Indian Act and Treaties and was met with immense backlash. This is the story. 📸 LAC 🧵 1/10

A propos Trump's refusal to sign the bipartisan housing affordability bill, Canadian editorial cartoonist Michael de Adder issued this "Affordability" drawing by Jun 24 afternoon.

New analysis from me: Alberta’s senior care expansion program is a real estate subsidy Alberta’s Continuing Care Capital Program is shovelling public dollars into private real estate #abpoli #cdnpoli www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Bad few days for Dan McLean. Loses his fight to nix the noise bylaw changes. Then loses the UCP nomination in Calgary Shaw. Carrying Smith's water is heavy, man.

"My kids love it and it’s so easy to make." This recipe for Cumin and Cashew Yogurt Rice is a fuss-free dinner for those nights when you have no time and the fridge is basically bare. nyti.ms/3T1lQao

My latest Legion Magazine article is an interview with anthropologist Ian Cosh. His new book explores the memory, trauma, and legacy of Canada’s WW II veterans who fought in the 1943 Battle of Ortona. legionmagazine.com/anthropologi... 📸 Sutherland House Books

This is a major wake up call for all Albertans. Make sure you vote No for a referendum-on-a-referendum!

For anyone that doesn’t know, Not Amazon is a Canadian site that helps you find local, small businesses in Canada. It highlights women, bipoc, LGBTQ+ business as well. www.not-amazon.co

Yes, this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Sc... "Lying is second nature to him", Schwartz said.

The vast majority of Canadians support bans on handguns (78%) and assault rifles (87%). A reminder that Pierre Poilievre has voted against every gun control measure in Parliament since 2004.

It is Indigenous History Month. Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories from Canada's Indigenous history. Today it is Norval Morriseau.

I don’t always agree with Mayor Jeromy, but I respect his motivations and willingness to step into the ring when it’s needed. And, whoo boy, he has stepped up on this issue! Well done!

Calgary, our love for large SUV and Pickup trucks is why we had so many killed on our streets last year.

"regulatory certainty is the bedrock of private investment" is an incredible statement from the premier who personally wrote and added a separation referendum referendum to the other 9 referendums this fall

Ummm, is Jon Stewart joining Canada’s Supreme Court, or is Glenn Joyal joining The Weekly Show? @theweeklyshowpodcast.bluesky.socia www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A rumor that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos said human water consumption was limiting the potential of artificial intelligence has spread widely online. But we found no record of him making the comment.

The other side of the stampede. Dr. Kimberly Williams’ book Stampede exposes how the 10-day event reinforces settler colonialism, "petro-masculinity," corporate PR, and misogyny, leading to spikes in sex tourism and gender-based violence. Time for accountability. fernwoodpublishing.ca/books/stampede

Danielle Smith has spent more time talking about the Stampede than fixing ER waits. This is what she hopes we don't read. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

As we near our birthday celebrations my friends, it is time to reflect on what makes Canada so special. The true north, strong and free.

Now she should reverse the decision not to build the South Edmonton hospital. It is desperately needed. People are waiting far too long in Edmonton for emergency care.

Dear Premier Smith, An often overlooked reality is that Canada is already one of the most "private" healthcare systems. NO evidence MORE private gonna help. I know you don't like research and data, but see: www.oecd.org/en/publicati... cc @charlesrusnell.bsky.social

Jay's paintings are amazing. Totally worth it, Rest of World.

Great fun watching Bostonians on social media yelling that the Scots are SO SO GREAT, HOORAY, and there should be somewhere on their side of the Atlantic called “New Scotland” - and then being pointed towards Nova Scotia.

Marius Borg Høiby rape conviction renews focus in Norway on consent in digital age

Analysis: If you were asked to picture a weed, there’s a good chance a dandelion would come to mind. The truth is that although dandelions have been vilified in lawn care commercials and popular imagination, they’re useful in myriad ways.

For nearly seventy years, NORAD has been central to Canada’s defence strategy. But The Walrus contributing writer Wesley Wark argues the alliance now risks limiting Canada’s sovereignty as American and Canadian interests diverge. https://thewalrus.ca/why-canada-needs-to-walk-away-from-norad/

On this day in 1952, Graham Greene was born on the Six Nations Reserve. One of Canada's most acclaimed actors, he received an Academy Award nomination, and won a Grammy, two Gemini Awards, and received the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He died in 2025. 📸 CBC

The rise of larger vehicles like SUVs and pickup trucks, with their taller hoods and larger blind zones, has contributed to a 75% increase in pedestrian and cyclist deaths since 2009. Until we design better streets and ban these vehicles, people outside these vehicles will keep dying.
