If I was so unhappy as an Albertan in Canada as to want Alberta separate, seems to me it would make a lot more sense to move. Actual separation would take decades. I might die before I get to live my dream as a non-Canadian. Life's too short for that. Alabama's Calling! Freedom!

I was not aware.

"Symptoms of AGS can lessen or disappear over time, with some patients with alpha-gal able to eat products again within a year or two. Another Kansas man previously told WDAF that he had to avoid eating red meat for roughly seven years after being diagnosed with AGS." Ugh.

Thread. Well, link in the next post. Very interesting!!

From the ocean to the sea.

A very good read on Danielle and the referendum debacle. "The irony of all this is that the Court found that the government planted the seeds of its own legal defeat when it amended the Citizens Initiative Act late last year to allow for the chief electoral officer..." substack.com/home/post/p-...

Such irony.

Job cuts? I was told there were no job cuts.

This is horrifying. "Prime Minister Mark Carney is quietly bringing-in sweeping reforms to the pesticides law, making it more difficult for the government to ensure that the air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat is safe from dangerous toxins. " Fuck "because the economy".

I really feel like there are a lot of smart people who could benefit from spending some time reading about Vladislav Surkov & “controlled opposition” & then taking that knowledge & have a new look at our strange new western regimes with new more open eyes.

👇💯 Based on past history, I would lay odds that man's word is not to be accepted without validation.

She's gaslighting us all, again. I signed the Forever Canadian petition. In no way was I voting for a referendum on separatism. Without Danielle Smith's bullshit enabling of the separatist agenda, we would not have needed to even have that petition.

Unity crisis 2.0 ? "Dix said Alberta was being "rewarded" for brewing separatist sentiment by the federal government, and B.C. had projects of national importance worth more than $88 billion that required the same amount of federal resources as Alberta is getting." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Suffering seniors=evil. "Azocar accused the government of undercutting continuing care, by moving seniors with complex issues from hospitals to crowded care facilities and by chronically short-staffing facilities, in favour of privatizing and monetizing the sector." www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/alb...

FFS. "The Carney government is proposing a regulatory rollback that goes farther than the most deregulatory moments of the Stephen Harper era, with proposals that would make it impossible to assess the health and environmental impacts of pipelines and other major resource projects, critics say."

"Taken together with the commitments to build another bitumen pipeline, expand LNG export facilities, and increase the role of natural gas power generation, the federal government is walking away from its commitments to climate action." 💔

Jordan Bitove bought The Toronto Star in 2020 and also got an online casino license from the Ford government. The paper used to be boycotted by the Ford brothers because they didn't like reporters reporting on them. No such problems now.

Much of the Global North is complicit. "(UNRWA) warned at the time that repeated, destructive operations had rendered the northern camps “uninhabitable,” trapping residents .. that “Jenin camp today is emptied of its residents”, a scene the agency said was “set to be repeated in other camps.”

"For a process with constitutional significance, limiting awareness of the opportunity works against transparency and public confidence," ~Lunty UCP Gerrymandering is harmful to public confidence. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Scum sucker.

Thanks MondoAB! I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Even trained historians have learned a lot from my book, as evidenced by James Fell's review on his super-popular Facebook site. www.facebook.com/bodyforwife/...

Big reporting problem is very concerning. Also recall that AER removed the cap on gas flaring, which yes, are emissions. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Would love to see Danielle dance and sing to this one.

Am about to listen but had to share "Donbas Danielle" .. too good!

Oops, was supposed to reply, not quote. Anyway, when I read about this methane agreement today, it brought to mind the underreporting that Alberta does on methane. Any comments @markhamhislop.bsky.social

2/2 Alberta is underestimating emissions. The federal greenhouse gas inventory, which incorporates independent measurements, estimates that Alberta’s oil and gas methane emissions are almost twice the amount indicated by Alberta’s methane model, which is based primarily on industry self-reporting.

1/2 "Today’s Implementation Agreement delivers on key commitments under the Canada-Alberta MOU and builds on the agreement-in-principle on methane equivalency .. targeting the end of 2026, will lower emissions of methane in the oil and gas sector in Alberta by 75% below 2014 levels by 2035."

An excellent book from the perspective of a socialist historian. Recently finished it. Packed full of new information for me.

Free Rob Anderson.

Thank you Mayor Knack for standing up for workers! Note who signed letter. "A letter signed by a provincial minister, real estate associations and business advocates .. it would violate a letter of understanding signed between the two parties in collective bargaining." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Danielle Smith’s Dangerous Dance With Conspiracy Politics Thomas Lukaszuk, head of #ForeverCanadian, on the madhouse of Alberta politics as @abdaniellesmith tries to survive challenges from separatists who have taken over the UCP. #ableg #abpoli youtu.be/Gr-W51TpPKw

This renaming is a prelude to selling off/privatizing paramedic service. Just like when they renamed Alberta Public Laboratories to Alberta Precision Laboratories and then sold it off to DynaLife. Otherwise, why waste precious health care dollars on renaming? #ableg #abpoli

Markham interviews Duane Bratt. Very excellent. "Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is trapped between two competing political realities. On one side, she is claiming major victories by negotiating pipeline and industrial carbon pricing agreements with Ottawa." www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RMB...

I say this as an unsatisfied anti-Capitalist. 😅 We sometimes think of PMJT's administration as somewhat environmental, but ... the TMX is hard to reconcile with that view.

Great points from Max. "..the Trudeau government’s skill at setting targets and making commitments, it was far less talented at actually delivering progress..may not satisfy the de-growthers and anti-capitalists out there..but they were never going to be a happy part of his political coalition."

"The exhibit focuses on Palestinian accounts of the Nakba — Arabic for “catastrophe” — referring to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war surrounding the creation of the State of Israel."

How you enjoying the neoliberalism?

Your voice matters at this critical time. You can let the government of Alberta know that you support the maintained closure of the grizzly bear hunt. Add your voice to this campaign! www.exposedwildlifeconservancy.org/alberta-griz...

Declining empire! "President Xi Jinping orchestrated a lavish display that was designed only to flatter Trump’s shallow ego so he would give the exact responses Xi required. And Trump obliged at every step. The orchestra played the Village People, the banquet was shaped for Trump’s blunt tastes."
