Ça c'est ridicule UCP..😧

Regina Crowchild of Tsuut’ina First Nation says she voted against the resolution because there’s no guarantee Canada will follow through on its commitment to consult affected communities when it decides which projects to approve.

Graham Greene has died. A Canadian acting icon, he earned an Oscar nomination for his role as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves. He also won a Grammy, Gemini and Canadian Screen Award, along with the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He also earned a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.

Far right folks are fuming over the UCP's book ban. Not over the party's abandonment of libertarian principles. But over the Edmonton Public School Board's choice to follow the new law. If you have friends in those circles, just ask: Which of the 200 EPSB books should stay on shelves?

"If they need us to hold their hand through the process to identify what kind of materials are appropriate … so we can be super clear about what it is we're trying to do," Smith said. Ok, but only if it stops at hand holding, and the pair are opposite sex. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

2012 Danielle Smith must be so conflicted. On one hand, she's days away from realizing her dream of locking out all public school teachers in the province. On the other, she's having to fight to keep Atlas Shrugged on high school library shelves after people took her book ban literally.

Today, we honoured the life and legacy of Jack Layton. 🧡 Jack believed that hope could triumph over fear, that everyone deserves a seat at the table. Standing at his statue, I felt his spirit and call to action more clearly than ever. We won’t let them tell us it can’t be done.

Incredible conversations today at The Walrus about the power of storytelling and the future of Canadian media. As the NDP Heritage critic and a Canadian, I’m grateful for the work they do to make sure our stories reflect all of us. 🇨🇦

Congratulations to Air Canada flight attendants. You stood your ground, defended your rights, and won. Air Canada saw workers weren’t backing down, so they had to come back to the table. This tentative deal happened where it was always going to happen - at the bargaining table.

The UCP's next game is particularly cruel... The plan is to transition all AISH recipients to their new "But you can work a little" program and only after everyone is transitioned can those unable to work re-apply for AISH. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The consequence of the failed talks is devastating, as it leaves no clear path for nations to collectively address the mountains of plastic that are filling landfills, clogging oceans and showing up in chunks on beaches and other public places.

The premier could do this tomorrow. She doesn't need a panel. She doesn't need her own tax collection agency. She would (likely) need to call a referendum or campaign on it in the next provincial election. So why doesn't she? 🤔

Wasn't me, but I share the sentiment.

I mean we're rehashing the Fair Deal panel and O'Brien Commission, so why not redo Harper's Senate abolition gambit while we're at it? If the premier and her staff want to muse about this stuff without doing any homework, they should go back to running a podcast and stop wasting our time and $.

The new UCP Minister of Municipal Affairs is establishing himself as a bit of a tyrant. edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/08/01/a...

"Distributed decision-making"... How do we live it? Clearly The UCP government does not know how or want to know how.

If the Minister of Justice is counseling the Chief Electoral Officer to disregard the law, it makes you wonder what kind of advice he's offering the premier and the rest of government. Predictably, the move is sowing further distrust in the democratic system, including elections and courts.

Sorry I missed the in-person gathering in Calgary. I will be doing my part from Ottawa/Chelsea for the next year🍊🧡

The Alberta Court’s ruling that the UCP cannot restrict the freedoms of parents, children and medical professionals under Bill 26 is the kind of late Friday afternoon news that I prefer! 🙌❤️🌈

It's a problem when the Conservatives supported the Bill with such enthusiasm... Liberals keep inching over to the right at every turn🤦🏽‍♀️🙎🏽‍♀️.

There is no rhyme or reason on days like these. Days when the unpredictability of the mountains strike the very depths of our souls. My heart breaks for the families and friends and hikers hurt by this tragedy. I am sending them all so much love and light and wishes for healing.

What an amazing day in Carstairs! Thank you for standing up for healthcare, for education, and for Canada. Together, we’re building something stronger, and we’re just getting started! 🇨🇦🧡 #VoteforBetter from June 17-21, or on Election Day, June 23! Visit www.albertandp.ca/vote to learn more!

Canada Post workers are looking for a fair deal. Why is the government allowing management to tear apart our postal system and delay negotiations with CUPW members? @cupwsttp.bsky.social @cupw730.bsky.social

We need non-Market and social housing solutions not only reducing the cost of building... The liberal did not answer the question

Check out CBS News' Scott Pelley's speech at Wake Forest. "Why attack universities? Why attack journalism? Because ignorance works for power." www.readtpa.com/p/watch-cbs-...

Today’s Throne Speech was historic — but that isn’t enough. Words won’t solve the housing crisis, protect seniors, or tackle the climate emergency. We need action. Canadians deserve a government that works for everyone — not just the wealthy few. #cdnpoli #ThroneSpeech2025

"..we must push back on the lies its elites put out about economic realities in this country, about how the federal equalization program actually works.." We did pushback while campaigning in rural Alberta. Not easy but necessary AND needs to be a long-term game. It's always easier with some ad $$😉

I have definitely felt this in my lifetime. I was born in 1972

When I was offered this service after vandalism of a few signs, I have to say that I was grateful to live in Canada. Particularly because when I told my parents I was going to run for office, my Father's first words were "Well at least you won't get killed here." #Yellowheadndp

Carney's new cabinet is missing some important western voices, including from several prairie cities. I find it awkward that the same folks who rail against EDI are crying foul on this point. But there's more to it than that. 🧵

Carney's choice to cut prairie dwellers out of cabinet places a lot of the national unity load on intergovernmental relations. Cabinet used to do some of that heavy lifting, with regional ministers standing up for provinces. Carney has shifted the representational load squarely onto premiers.

Managing this premier-laden system will require a major shift in intergovernmental relations. It's not undoable, but it's also never been tried to this magnitude with this much pressure on the system. I hope his folks know what they're doing. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/carneys-fe...

Yesterday at the Legislature, First Nations from across the province stood united with one message: Respect our treaties. Kill Bill 54.

In the dead of night, the UCP passed the most comprehensive set of anti democratic reforms in Alberta history. No public consultation. No meaningful debate. How bad is Bill 54? Not horrible if you like Trump-style democracy. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

Canada's Conservatives are openly flirting with the sort of election denialism that helped define the MAGA movement. It's time for their leaders to actually lead -- or fall prey to the same toxic populism that destroyed the Republican Party. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/05/14/o...

The election is over, there's no political reason for the Liberals and Carney not to take a public, outraged stand on the world stage against this ongoing crime against humanity being perpetrated by a country Canada considers an ally. The only conclusion one can draw is that they truly don't care.

The UCP is facing 8 investigations into corruption, plus no fewer than 3 major public sector union strikes (all of their own making). The affordability crisis looms, as does a trade war with the US. Wildfires & measles are raging. And the premier chose now to clear a path for a separation vote.

Thank you for that work @ndpkyle.bsky.social. Any opportunity I had during the 11 candidate forums in Yellowhead, I reminded rural Albertans that Canadian tax payers funded the TMX for the benefit of Albertans and by extension all Canadians 🇨🇦.
