Welp, the Jays got me interested in baseball. What a fun run. I hate it.

I'm the next few days, it would be a mistake to: ❌️ limit the resistance to the teachers' demands or saving public education ❌️ make labour/workers/unions the only faces of opposition The UCP's pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause is much broader than one strike or one set of rights.

"Oh yeah? You like baseball? What if I make you smoke *an entire pack* of baseball?"

Coward.

A “moral imperative” coming from this lot is absolutely infuriating. None of them have a single moral bone in their bodies. It’s not “moral” to take away people’s rights

Let's be clear about what happened today. Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights, denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it, and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

The UCP government has invoked time allocation and on a bill removing Albertans' Charter rights. And they're using the notwithstanding clause to do it. Here's why that is a dangerous precedent. And why real conservatives need to stand up against it. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them. This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people .. bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr... 1/2

$12.5M x 2 might be the most “I want to win more than anything else” contract I’ve ever seen in the NHL.

I read this article and grew more furious at this government with each directive mentioned. They are laying groundwork to take away rights for access to MAID and then pursuing avenues to separate from Canada. Furious.

The bones are their money

Guys, I know it's not the point, but I gotta know: When it comes to porn, what does the premier consider "classic"?

I'm extremely disappointed in this "balanced" plan. This policy would kill a ton of housing where it is needed most, with nothing concrete to make up for it. Strap in folks, because I have a lot of thoughts that have been brewing over the last few weeks🧵 #yegcc #yeg

UCP - the “party of reducing red tape”.

I didn’t know rabbits liked trampolines, but then again…..

When I was young, my family had a copy of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago. I remember trying to read it, when I was in junior high, and being haunted and horrified. Thank you to Rümeysa Öztürk for bravely bearing witness to the ICE gulag system.

Oh look, here come the UCP chucklefucks, pushing uniformity, inequality, and exclusion www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

A game without *any* penalties in any hockey game at any time of year is bizarre. Game six with the series as it’s been so far is just farcical.

Ugly game. Oilers took too many penalties early. Fell behind. Lost their cool. Never got their game back. Then completely lost their heads. They played and reacted exactly the way the Panthers wanted them to & the score reflected every bit of that. They deserve no credit.

And a happy Let’s Go Oilers to those who celebrate!!!

Yes! This is the good stuff

The teaser trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s ‘FRANKENSTEIN’ has been released. Coming to Netflix this November.

Holy shit. Rough quote, Pete.

Never in doubt! #neverindoubt #Oilers

20:18 of Brett Kulak and Evan Bouchard on the ice together 5v5 in these first two games. Oilers have given up 0.16 xGA in that time

Updated #UCPayToPlay scandal-in-a-tweet: Premier Smith's former chief of staff allegedly pressured health officials to cut half a billion dollars in contracts to a businessman whose sister was his landlord and who bought them all luxury NHL tickets. And they fired the person ready to reveal it.

All comedy suffers upon repeated viewings. Except for the "Brians Hat" sketch from "I Think You Should Leave" which I could watch 100 times in a row and laugh just as hard on viewing 100 as I did the first time I saw it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO2k...

Americans! Confused about how Canada's federal election is turning out? Wondering how it actually works up here? Grab your double-double, let's dive in.🧵

Your Voice is at Risk Bill 50 continues the legacy of Bill 20 which harms our local democracy. I can’t cover all of the troubling changes in Bill 50 in one short video but this covers how it expands the harm from Bill 20. #yeg #yegcc #yyccc #ableg #abpoli

This is a fundamentally bad change to the rules and regulations around municipal Council governance. Removing the ability for a government to have a code of conduct is backwards regardless of politics. livewirecalgary.com/2025/04/08/m...

Booker finally yields after more than 25 hours of speaking 👏👏👏

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

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?

What a statement here! Well worth the listen.

I don’t usually cry over my beer, but I had to make an exception for this ad. 🇨🇦

Call me old fashioned, but I don’t think provincial leaders should be working with hostile foreign govts to interfere in a federal election to get their preferred party elected whose “perspective would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America” This is traitorous stuff.

It boggles the mind how Premier Smith can take a harder line stance against the prime minister of her own country than the president of an enemy nation. If she's unsure who is the bigger threat, her advisors have failed all Albertans miserably.
