If you don't live in Alberta, let me explain Alberta politics to you. 1. *long sigh* 2. *incoherent mumbling* 3. *muffled tears* 4. *long sigh* Thank you for listening.

Haven’t been on here in ages… but today I’m back to share my family’s story about being stuck in the emergency dept at an Alberta hospital for more than 90 hours. The UCP is fiddling while the system burns. @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent As it Happens interview about X and Grok. I’m posting a couple of screen shots here - since they are a bit too long for alt text, I’ll post the link to the full transcript below. #cdnpoli #X #Grok #yeg #CSAM

America, It's Not You, It's...

Today, government introduced Bill 9 legislation invoking the notwithstanding clause to override a court ruling that protects youth access to gender-affirming care. This places government between a patient and their physician, undermining clinical autonomy. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

The petition launched by @lukaszukab.bsky.social needed 293, 976 signatures before today's submission date in support of his question 'Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?' If the number is accurate, they bested that by 162,389 - or 55%.

1. Reagan’s speech is real 2. It’s public domain 3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians 4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check 5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

This thread is the bomb.

The CBC maintains an account on X - but not on Bluesky (nor on Mastodon.) Why? I asked CE0 Marie-Philippe Bouchard and Editor-in-Chief @brodiefenlon.bsky.social when they appeared at the Senate Transport and Communications Committee this morning. #CBC #SRC #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #X #Bluesky #TRCM

Honey, wake up, new potential Alberta referendum on ending private school funding just dropped.

This!

I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

A story from earlier this year, now more relevant to #AbEd #Ableg interests: www.cbc.ca/news/enterta... "...the majority of censorship attempts in school and public libraries in the U.S. come from organized movements rather than parents." (72%)

So regressive & dystopian it feels like, um, The Handmaid’s Tale…👇 “…public school board is yanking more than 200 books from its library…” “…including literary classics such as author Margaret Atwood’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’” MAGA Alberta: edmontonjournal.com/news/edmonto....

For folks in Alberta wanting to sign the Forever Canadian petition (now until 28 Oct 2025) here is a listing of announced signing events, sorted by town/city. It's great to share, especially with people who are not active on social media. P&T #ForeverCanadian www.forevercanadianpetitionevents.com

What happens after you register on Forever-Canadian.ca to collect signatures, donate, or volunteer? When will you get your credentials from Elections Alberta to collect signatures? Where will you be able to sign the petition? Here are the answers:

Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward. But targeting a reporter - hi! - with surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Excellent!

Danielle Smith lies. And then she uses those lies to justify laws that are against the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Don't ever forget that. /fin

BREAKING NEWS. Alberta Court of King’s Bench grants injunction preventing Alberta Government from banning gender-affirmative care for minors citing “irreparable harm will be caused if the Ban comes into force.” A victory for human rights and trans youth! 🏳️‍⚧️

Alberta as we know it today simply would not exist without the millions of immigrants and refugees who built it, who loved it, and who were proud to call it home - including my grandparents and my mum. This bitter xenophobia is as unAlbertan as it’s possible to be. I’m ashamed. I’m disgusted.

I think this grotesque campaign is inflaming and weaponizing the worst instincts of a minority of Albertans. But hate like this is like a virus or a cancer. It spreads and grows and corrupts. I am embarrassed for my province. And afraid.

Signed up! All I ask is that each individual post on @gandersocial.bsky.social be called a “goose,” as in “I’ll forward you a goose I saw on Gander” and “As soon as it happened I goosed it” And of course, “Man, that was a career ending goose.”

I am afraid we will find out just how wrong Smith is if she doesn’t change this policy soon.

@blakemurdoch.bsky.social nails it in this opinion column. “A policy of ending pediatric COVID vaccination will disable, hospitalize and even kill Albertan children, leaving blood on Smith’s hands.” edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... @albertadoctors.bsky.social @abdanielsmith.bsky.social

This thing we didn’t promote, created barriers & loopholes to access, that we didn’t let drs offices have, that we implied you didn’t need, that we can blame on the Feds, you didn’t use it so now it’s on you. Exhibit A in how to create the scenario to justify privatizing medicine #ableg

From the sworn affidavit by the former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopolous… In which she states the value of the contracts afforded to MHCare were almost $1 billion. And that Jitendra Prasad was consolidating power and control over contracts. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta's government is looking to cover costs and reduce waste. But U of C health law professor Lorian Hardcastle says she expects hospitalizations to increase, and even a few prevented ICU stays could have paid for "a lot of vaccines." From @jack-farrell.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/2c3n8r39

Disgusting and discriminatory. In addition to the harm to trans athletes, women and girls, not all Albertans will have birth records. This will also impact adoptees, immigrants and others.

I do not understand why we are not collectively freaking out.
