This is just getting ridiculous

Albertans: your premier is lying to you.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Struck a deal to contain Iran's nuclear program forever. Didn't go to war in Iran. DID IT ALL IN A TAN SUIT.

My statement on Iran-related hostilities in the Middle East:

From our team in the Middle East: As Israeli airstrikes hit Tehran this morning, millions of Iranians received mysterious push notifications saying that “help is on the way”, promising amnesty if they surrender. wrd.cm/4l0QScB

The provincial government has just imposed the largest property tax increase on Calgarians in history. In 2026, Alberta is increasing its share of your property tax bill by 21.05%. Nearly 42% of every residential property tax dollar now goes to Province.

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK. The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party. Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.

GRAZIE MILLE ITALY 🇮🇹 Signing off from the Olympics. What a journey it’s been. Time for some rest. And then gearing up for Paralympics coverage. Good night sports fans.

This is Bryan. Once a week, he takes a shelter pup on a New York City adventure in his 'Adopt Me' backpack, hoping someone will fall in love. He films their big day out, and almost every dog he's featured has found a forever home. 🫶 🐕 🫶 🐶 🫶

Wearing my ⁦@teamcanadaforever.bsky.social jersey all day today, honouring the superb athletes who competed on the world stage & made us all so proud. I especially loved seeing their parents, emotion on their faces showing the years of work & our shared humanity of hopes & dreams together.

Dear Team 🇨🇦. You played with everything you had. We love you,appreciate you and feel for you. Thx for a great game and for being stand up players who fist bump kids and always leave it all on the ice. Dear world. Thx for cheering with us. From Australia to Norway to Japan we felt the love. ❤️ 🇨🇦

NYC public schools: Tomorrow (Mon 2/23) is a full snow day —no remote learning, no logging on. Our first real snow day in seven years. This blizzard is serious. Stay inside. Travel ban 9pm–noon tomorrow so crews can keep streets clear. After the worst passes, bundle up and enjoy the snow — safely.

Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.   You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.

Please see my statement on the security situation in Jalisco State, Mexico:

We may have lost the gold in this game but boy did our men’s hockey team and our entire #TeamCanada delegation at the Olympics bring our country together. More of this please. ❤️🇨🇦💪

So proud of this incredible team! Thank you for such a thrilling game, and congrats to Connor McDavid on being named tournament MVP.

Imagine if HEALTHCARE WAS FREE in America, as it is in Greenland. Just imagine. 🇺🇸🇬🇱

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Nothing says white supremacy quite like creepy insurrectionist Mike Johnson denying a request for the late civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson to lie in honor at the United States Capitol. I hate racists.

Eleanor Collins was called Canada's First Lady of Jazz. The daughter of parents who left the American South for Canada, she broke several barriers on television and in music, and lived to be 104. This is her amazing story. 🧵 1/9

Banff-Kananaskis, Let's look at Premier Smith's announcement for what it is: Trying to distract Albertans ahead of a large budget deficit next week, blaming oil prices and immigration for her government's mismanagement. Call the election now. #abpoli

Danielle Smith confirms that if Alberta separatism petition drive succeeds, the independence referendum will be on October 19 ballot too. So expect (at least) 10 ballot measures coming this fall. YOU LIKE DEMOCRACY? WHY DON'T YOU TRY SMOKING AN ENTIRE PACK OF DEMOCRACY?

Happy birthday to k-os, born on this day in 1972 in Toronto! In his career, he has released six studio albums, two of which went platinum and one that went gold. His 2004 album Joyful Rebellion is considered one of the best Canadian albums of the 21st century and won three Junos.

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

It's not every day you have a call with three gold medalists. Another massive congratulations to Ivanie Blondin, Valérie Maltais, and Isabelle Weidemann on your back to back gold medals. 🥇🇨🇦

News you can use, from the @wired.com security team (who are the best in the biz). They asked technologists, activists, aid groups, and cybersecurity experts for guidance on how to organize and collaborate in an age of surveillance. Here’s the result:

King Charles III has issued a statement following the arrest of his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor:

widepathcamper.com/bicycle-camp... I mean COME ON!! Europe ROCKS!! North America - excluding Mexico which is bomb- SUCKS!! Come on CANADA!! Get with it!! USA can..you know…whatever.

Rep. Stephen Lynch: "It offers a great contrast. Look what the British government is doing in light of the evidence, and look what the US government is doing. Nothing. Our chief law enforcement officer Pam Bondi is defending and obstructing the investigation."

The judge said the removals likely violated federal law and cooperative agreements requiring consultation with the city, comparing the administration’s position to Orwell’s “1984” and writing that the government couldn’t “dissemble and disassemble historical truths” simply because it has power.

Plastic bottles dating back to the 1960s and 1970s that appear to have come from Canada have washed up on Howar Sands, a beach located on Scotland’s Orkney archipelago. https://ow.ly/6Io550YhQS6

In Calgary when a major snowstorm hits it is always advisable to shovel the steps to your abode at least once a day to make sure visitors can access your home and you can depart easily. I’m just hoping Buddy here has a full refrigerator and no reason to venture outside anywhere anytime soon. 🤔

So it looks like Matt Generoux, who was going to leave the Conservative Party to join the Liberals, and then was just going to resign entirely, is, in fact, going to join the liberal party after all. Unfortunately because the liberals lost 3 people, they’re still at 169 seats 1/2
