Huge scoop from the CP: Canadian Press is reporting that Premier Danielle Smith has directed the justice ministry to use the notwithstanding clause to push through three anti-trans laws that would otherwise be blocked by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Alberta Bill of Rights

This is a particularly dark day in Alberta. We must protect trans kids in this province, no matter what #ableg #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Carney government’s hate-crimes bill to ban display of terror and hate symbols

"A number of right-wing influencers and convoy personalities in Canada were also seen sharing or interacting with Williams’ fake posts before they were taken down, including a senior adviser to Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre."

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Jesus Christ. A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons. You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

If anyone wants to talk about Groypers and where they came from, hit me up. I did my graduate work on them in 2019/2020 when they were first emerging and (unfortunately) I’ve been following them ever since

A large majority of Canadians agree that “Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians” — except Conservatives. 🔴 LPC: 74% 🟠 NDP: 69% ⚜️ BQ: 66% 🔵 CPC: 24%

The Carney government is giving 8-20% pay raises to armed forces members, part of $9 billion in new military spending This comes at the same time as they are also looking at up to $30 billion in cuts, which is estimated could eliminate 50,000+ federal jobs www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Experts have called ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ a concentration camp. The Canadian company GardaWorld is helping to staff it. In a reported column for @thetyee.ca, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social reveals the company has received millions in Cnd government contracts this year. #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

🚨🚨🚨 #Canada we have a MAJOR problem. This one is OUR responsibility. How? We start with the feds who JUST inked a $26 million contract with GardaWorld for the CBSA’s Laval immigration centre. Those SHOULD be public service jobs but the agency opted to contract with a sketchy corporation. #cdnpoli

From Canada to Finland, a US neo-Nazi fight club is rapidly spreading across the globe

Nice to see people rejecting this guy even in Canada! He also had a bad time in Boise a while back. Resisting Christian nationalism, as an entry point for misogyny and white supremacy, is cool and fun!

“Pierre Poilievre’s inner circle includes right-wing activists and lobbyists for Meta, X Corp., Enbridge, Pathways Alliance and Koch Industries. This is not a coincidence — the techno-fascists’ goal is to install Poilievre as their useful idiot in Canada.”

More evidence of red state influence on the UCP. theijf.org/alberta-used...

Population: US: 340.1M Alberta: 4.98M Under the UCP we have more measles cases than a population 70x larger than ours. And the blame rests squarely at the feet of the UCP - a gov’t that’s throughly & deliberately undermined our public health system. Alberta, you deserve better. #abpoli

Canadian experts on extremism and the military say this week’s terror arrests of military-linked Quebec men are a dangerous shift in a movement shaped by U.S. influence and tailored to Canada.

" I’ve analyzed more than 100 manifestos..by people who carried out..acts of ideologically, politically & religiously motivated violent extremism in Canada, the US & beyond. their writings reveal consistent ideological patterns. Among them, 1 stands out: misogyny" theconversation.com/i-analyzed-m...

"Davis said that over the last two decades, most of the terror attacks in Canada have been perpetrated by ideologically motivated violent extremism...The Islamic State makes the news, but it’s really this other type of terrorism that’s...problem ." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

From the DM’s… Tonight in #yeg Danielle Smith said that she believes that “teachers should not be getting in between that relationship between kids & their parents”. Seemingly indicating that she believes that’s a problem on scale with “pornography in schools” & chemtrails #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

As this Tea Party-inspired misinformation campaign continues, the institutions responsible for the targeted net-zero program appear to be avoiding giving it oxygen.

Going through the new Canadian Security Intelligence Service Public Report and what stands out is the prominence of violent extremism relative to what we've seen in recent years. (Since, say 2020.) This is attributed to "the context of renewed conflict, for example, in the Middle East."

The RCMP, hard at work investigating... investigative journalists #cdnpoli #cdnmedia www.readthemaple.com/the-rcmp-inv...

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

Canada has raised concerns over the genocide in Palestine. The Israeli army responded by firing on our diplomatic team. Israel is a terror regime. Canada needs to bring in full sanctions, suspend all trade and ensure investigations into any Canadian who serves in the IDF.

Vaccine skepticism a growing concern, virologist warns www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social: "Where I am in Texas, we've had a lot of people needlessly lose their lives because they refuse COVID vaccines." "It's definitely the spread of anti-vaccine conspiracy theories..."

The BC Conservatives, including Leader John Rustad and about 20 of his MLAs hosted an event at the legislature this week for a Christian political advocacy group. ARPA Canada was given an official platform to push for restrictions to MAiD, gender transition by youth, and medication abortion.

Today, Chief Troy Knowlton of Piikani Nation made it clear to Smith that she has not only united First Nations in Alberta against Bill 54 and separation... She's united First Nations across Canada against what she's doing. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

While I admit I have been in the Canadian Far Right social media this morning we really need to acknowledge this election was very close. Conspiracy theories, anger, self created victim status, fear, hate, and distrust are not going to disappear among this voting base. We need to address and

Looks like Musk is boosting all Conservative tweets and downgrading Liberal ones for the Canadian election. Not even trying to hide it.
