Yes, rather than sitting back with analysis and hand wringing #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Sorry, Conservatives: as much as you love pretending otherwise, Justin Trudeau never killed the oil and gas industry. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/06/o...

Canadians could channel their feelings about what's going on at the Post not into Bluesky posts but writing their MPs about acting on foreign ownership, telling them to get off X and hold press conferences when they have something to say (and be questioned after), keep their promises on the CBC...

From someone who clamours a lot about governments staying in their own lane, this is equivalent to jumping the middle meridian on the highway: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... #ableg #cdnpoli

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

Smith - "I'm no lawyer" Also Smith - Man the judges just screw up so much. The whole clip that touch off a response from the courts this week is well worth the listen. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

As an Albertan, I reject the premise that there are legitimate complaints that have led to this. The right has spent the past ten years manufacturing grievances against Ottawa and Canada. From Trudeau to pipelines to equalization to vaccines, it’s all been torqued and twisted and manipulated.

"Justice Ann Marie McDonald noted that of the 423 items posted by Rebel on their website, only 10 included original reporting, and that 283 were not based on facts."

John Candy and Catherine O'Hara made the world a better place. Canada and the world is a better place for them having existed.

Yo, ICE! This is what a hostile, threatening approach looks like. And Ilhan Omar’s security didn’t murder him. Imagine that.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Alberta's economy-first government strikes again.

Comes a few weeks after Danielle Smith derided courts as "gatekeepers" getting in way of democracy, and used legislation to quash judge's ruling on validity of separatist referendum. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One of the things that really annoys me is that all of us who were getting beat up on our university campuses 2 years ago for protesting Israel's genocide of Gaza told y'all that this was coming. If they were willing to do it to us, everyone else was next.

A CHILD'S NOTE ABOUT ICE RAIDS TO FRIEND 💔

I spent the most formative years of my political life reading headlines like this seemingly every week.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

It’s time to play, “Describe that Video!” This Hour Has 22 Minutes at its most blistering - and prescient. This was posted yesterday. But it couldn’t be more timely. Whether or not you can bear to watch “that” video today, you need to watch this one. #Minneapolis #CBC

The gun taken by the agent appears to match the general appearance of the firearm shared online by DHS, and which they said was Pretti’s. This agent’s back is turned from the scene with the gun in his hand when the first shot occurs.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

the idea that this is evil is older than writing

23% of Americans want their State to separate from the USA. Alberta is polling at 19% wanting to separate. It's less separatist than: Alaska, Hawaii, Washington Montana, Idaho, California, Nevada, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, New York.......

Buckle Up: MAGA Disinformation Targets Alberta Separatism Prof @duanebratt.bsky.social says that Alberta will probably be flooded with Brexit-like propaganda from the United States. #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli youtu.be/9aX6Hl3Y28Q

The Save-On Foods guy is running to lead the BC Conservatives??

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Trump: "NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything." Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

And tonight all the main news broadcasts in america will not even mention that their president is unhinged, demented and clearly unfit to lead anything at all. They are so afraid of the truth.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Canada doesn't need a new pipeline macleans.ca/economy/even... #abpoli #bcpoli #canadapoli

The story notes that Hootsuite lists one of their core values as ”give back to our communities and be an ally” and their terms of service prohibit use for law enforcement, surveillance and tracking. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

If we had a halfway decent opposition party in Canada, they’d endorse the words Carney used today, and then hammer him relentlessly on implementation or lack thereof.

"It raises the question: what is the Canada Pension Plan ready to invest in? Pornhub? ICE? Illegal detention centres? Maybe the Canada Pension Plan could team up and invest in Russian bot farms,” says @charlieangus104.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/20/n...

ST. PAUL MAYOR: “We’ve received reports of ICE officers going door to door asking where the Asian people live… I myself have received advice to carry my passport with me because they may target me based on what I look like.”

It's beginning to look like all of those guns Americans buy to keep government in check were only ever bought for school shootings.

“Even by Trump’s standards, this letter is so dangerous and so delusional that there is no longer any question that the president is mentally ‘unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,’ as laid out in the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.” www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

“You should not be afraid of someone who has a library and reads many books; you should fear someone who has only one book; and he considers it sacred, but he has never read it.” — Anonymous

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Bluesky is fun, but every for-profit, centralized platform eventually goes the Facebook/Twitter route. If you want a space that can’t be captured or enshittified, make the effort and join me on Mastodon. Decentralization wins in the long term. I’m at [email protected] Find out more at mstdn.ca
