So, if Costco successfully sues the US government and gets a tariff refund, do they turn around and refund consumers because of higher prices? What is a business to do with such a windfall? Or, do they just cover their own “losses.”I don’t see how this will end well for people. #costco #tariff

As we await the pipeline MOU, a reminder that Alberta has 12% of Canada’s population and • 38% of national GHG emissions • 75% of oil and gas-related GHGs • 51% of electricity-related GHGS Source: 2025 National Inventory Report 1990-2023: GHG Sources and Sinks in Canada (ECCC)

When we spoke in 2020, Alice Wong wondered if a million Covid deaths would drive Americans to care. By 2022, a million Americans had died of Covid. To read the full transcript of this interview, visit tinyurl.com/5ez375t9

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Your daily reminder that federal government and all our universities are all leaning heavily into this broken, corrupt technological bubble, and they're gonna take us all over the cliff.

UCP = Underfund Collapse Privatize How is that healthcare doing, Alberta? Ready to turf Dani Disaster? #ucp #alberta #healthcare

You can’t spell FUCK UP without UCP. #alberta #ucp

IDEA: A Hallmark Christmas movie about an Alberta premier who refuses to be photographed with Santa unless he's seated, titled 'Notwithstanding Claus'.

I used to wonder if people would take this virus seriously again if evidence emerged that it increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, but now that researchers have found just that I find myself wondering what more it will take.

Large majority of Canadians agree that the COVID-19 vaccine should be free “Quebec and Alberta are the only provinces charging for the COVID-19 vaccine, which has been universally free since the pandemic.”

“This first use of the Charter’s notwithstanding clause in an act of the Alberta legislature is a stain upon your record & undercuts the credibility of the many calls you have made for all levels of government to respect the rights of citizens.” ATA to Smith today. #abpoli

Not even hiding the blatant entitlement anymore. The Premier's Office continues to remove all checks and balances on its power. The courts, the legislature, the Auditor General, independent agencies, the federal government, voters and candidates they don't like... This is getting ridiculous.

The UCP attack on teachers gets worse, as more details emerge. Two things heard today: 1. Schools have been told to take teacher attendance and report it to the government every single day. (Smith is MIA, but that’s different) 2. Teachers are only paid for about 200 contracted days per year (1/3)

Looking ahead to next week and the prospect that the UCP will introduce back-to-work legislation to end the teachers' strike... Rumour has it they are considering invoking both time allocation and the notwithstanding clause. Here's why that's doubly dubious.+

We are at the point where Danielle Smith would rather violate charter rights and create a constitutional crisis… Instead of paying teachers fairly and giving kids the classrooms they need. Read that again. Because this is where we are. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

The UCP quietly released the 3rd party report into CorruptCare on Friday afternoon, hoping it would get buried in news around the ATA strike and municipal elections. Here's a reminder: Judge Wyant was given very narrow scope. The scandal involves wider political interference beyond policies.

Got off the plane and walked into a drug store in Ottawa and got my COVID vaccine in under 5 minutes. No line up. No appointment. No cost. Was even asked if I wanted Moderna or Pfizer. It’s unconscionable that we can’t get this same level of service in Alberta.

UCP = Underfund Collapse Privatize Enjoy your COVID shots while you can get ‘em. We are paying for them now. With manufactured scarcity, the cost will increase. This is awful. #alberta #ucp #healthcare

If you do not order your COVID or FLU vaccines in Alberta by December 15,2025 for the 2026-2027 season you can not get a vaccine. This is proof that #UCP does not want anyone getting vaccinated. Danielle Smith #Antivax supporter. bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr...

I've received an 'exclusive' invite to try Nature's new 'research assistant', which will burn down a forest to provide a 'summary of the paper' I'm reading and I have SUCH exciting news for them, that's called an 'abstract' and the actual authors already wrote it for me, no forest-burning required.

I booked a COVID shot in BC, booked a flight, and plan to visit my 90-year-old father. It was cheaper than getting a COVID shot in Alberta. Medical tourism to BC is the new Alberta Advantage. Smith is a travesty. #alberta #capitalism #privatization UCP = Underfund Collapse Privatize

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

As of today, Alberta officially has the lowest minimum wage in Canada. It hasn't increased since 2018, and that is unacceptable. The UCP's refusal to act has left too many Albertans struggling to make ends meet for too long. We need to raise the minimum wage and index it to inflation. Now.

“The implications of these findings are profound, as they redefine Long COVID brain fog as a biologically verifiable disorder with measurable molecular abnormalities” The science is catching up to what we’ve known all along: Long covid = brain damage.

This essay bangs. It gets at a specific problem with how AI is being sold to us--or how the industry is getting us to sell it to ourselves-- that I haven't seen described this clearly anywhere. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the...

I live in a province where the premier is more worried about a book getting into schools than measles or Covid. Argh.

As my kids would say, “This is low-key cringe.”

Adriana LaGrange is missing. It’s been 50 days since she addressed Alberta about measles. In that time, Alberta has surpassed the entire U.S. in measles cases. She’s responsible for public health. Her silence is a failure. Albertan’s deserve a government that will take this crisis seriously.

Imagine if all these countries spent 5% of their GDP on actually addressing climate change, or on global health, or on ending poverty. But no. War it is, as always.
