Eby: “What the conservatives in Alberta are pushing is an entirely political creation in the lead up to their election for wedge politics at the expense of British Columbia and Canada’s economy.”

100% this.

genuinely think they are feeding him AI videos

New mandate letters! And Danielle Smith has directed Rick Wilson to introduce forced treatment to Alberta! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The historically volatile Texas grid was entirely stable this summer, despite extreme temperatures. Grid operators never once had to ask Texans to conserve energy or shut off their air conditioners. Why? Solar & batteries. Want a stable grid? Try solar & batteries.

Fascists are desperate for violent disruption they can use an excuse for state violence and power grabs. They have trouble with mockery, goofiness, and fun. That holds across just about every type of authoritarianism. They like being feared for cruelty. They hate being laughed at and humiliated.

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

David Eby will win this fight seven days a week and twice on Sundays. He's not the one opening the door to separatist referendums and forever blaming Canada for everything that goes wrong in his province.

Elections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools. Calgary teacher Alicia Taylor says she brought it forward because it could help improve funding for public schools. #AbEd

Budgets are about priorities. Under the UCP, funding for public education and universities remains frozen, resulting in 'cuts by inflation.' Funding for private schools has increased above inflation. In a real way, this means money is flowing from public to private schools. Priorities.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away. They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

This is NOT how the new referendum process is to be used! It is supposed to be for book bans, anti-abortion/immigration/LGBTQ+ policies, and every other ignorant hate-filled christo-fascist pro-conservative petition they can think of! #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc #abteachers

Thanks, New Yorker

It’s smart of the ATA to shine a light on the issue of private schools. I’ll bet a lot of Albertans think it’s bonkers that we fund them at 70%.

Attempts to deploy federalized National Guardsmen to Oregon, California, & Illinois, also, signs that Trump, or at least someone around him, is starting to think seriously about the Insurrection Act. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

"The total private school grant was increased by 10.3 per cent in the 2025 budget. The hike was just 4.5 per cent for public schools, well short of inflation plus population growth. Per-student spending on private schools is expected to grow to $544 million by 2027-28." #ableg #abpoli #ata

Ward 3/4 Calgary… info about Joanny Liu. Misrepresenting herself as a practicing doctor, anti-vax, anti-science. Posts on TikTok saying she is proudly anti-trans & pro-UCP as well. I fear the riding that blindly elected Sean Chu is in for another disaster. www.reddit.com/r/Calgary/co...

Less money for the Premier's pet projects, and more money for public education please! #ableg

Within 24 hours of the Kirk shooting, top Trump officials and administration lawyers were drafting legal memos, writing blueprints for possible executive actions and prioritizing which liberal organizations and strongholds of the left needed targeting. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

MAGA MAPLE declared that a youth that asked a question at a public event should be "spanked." Danielle Smith accused the school board of being "viciously compliant" when they released the list of books the MAGA morons were trying to ban. In Alberta, the kids are alright.

Calgary’s suddenly a few years away from a population milestone planners had expected to come by mid-century. I don’t think ppl realize we’re already a 1.6M city. By me: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Good sign. #iStandWithTeachers

“Danielle Smith will call an early election before she allows a referendum to proceed with the wording promoted by Thomas Lukaszuk” This is only a big problem for Smith if the NDP can win, and right now there’s a hill to climb. Who’s ready to door knock?

Is $30/day enough? Not even close. "When you're talking about disabled kids, we can't just go to the teenager down the street and ask them to take care of our kids." Thank you, CBC, for running this story. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith posted a photo of a child in a crowd holding up a sign saying "My Sober Parents" on social media platforms this week. The caption said his parents were "lost to addiction." The kid's mom says the post was "completely false" and the premier "used my son for clicks":

Trump's spiritual advisor & mega church pastor Robert Morris has pled guilty to raping a child for 4 years, starting when she was 12. He made 0 apology. His punishment is 6 months jail 6 Months for rape😓 Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. A MAGA “Christian.” Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

Some Calgary doctors say they are fielding concerns from pregnant patients about Tylenol and its disputed links to autism, as announced by U.S. President Donald Trump last month.

Remember that story I completely made up about a child on his dad's shoulders at an Alberta Recovery event? His mother wants me to apologize. Maybe I'll get Spanky McAllister to apologize for me. He's good at it. Listen: bsky.app/profile/theb... #ableg #abpoli #yeg #yyc

except for that $14 mil we have committed to see if we might want to make a plan for plan about potentially panning to see if maybe B.C. would change its mind about a pipeline being built in the very distant future.

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

Only in Alberta... Does the mandate letter for the minister of environment include... - Increase the use of plastic products - Decrease protections for endangered species - Fight for looser emissions controls - Build an argument that Alberta's burning forests are Carbon sinks.

Uh oh

A child born prematurely after its mother contracted measles during pregnancy is Alberta's first measles death of 2025, according to Minister Adriana LaGrange.

Hmmmm. 🤔 Decisions. Decisions. Read: globalnews.ca/news/1145780...

That question about the UCP trying to replace the RCMP with a police force they could control at the same time as the RCMP investigates the UCP's handling of various health care scandals was a pretty good one. Good piece.

If Alberta is the proponent (as the GoA press release promises) then our at risk $$ won't be just a few millions they will be in the billions. The pipeline companies & producers have called Premier Smith's bluff and she's gambling with our money, not hers. An easy game to play. #abpoli #cdnpoli

One day after a central Alberta hospital alerted the provincial govt & senior health care leaders that it had implemented a strict masking policy to prevent the spread of measles, the facility-wide safety measure was discontinued, documents obtained by @theglobeandmail.com show. #ableg #cdnhealth
