Cochrane struck a nerve and Rath was definitely incensed by that comment. But hey if you can’t deal with the truth - #pnpcbc #cdnpoli #abpoli

I think we might live in the “Spock has a goatee” universe.

🚨BREAKING!!!🚨 The UCP are literally defunding the courts! As the UCP throws money to support a separatist referendum through the courts… Alberta will no longer pay the people who type the court transcripts in criminal court (court reporters) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Carney announces environment to be eliminated as cost-cutting measure

At MacEwan University this afternoon, where my Senate colleague Kim Pate, @kpateonthehill.bsky.social, is speaking at the 7th Biennial Alberta Criminal Justice Symposium. @senindepend.bsky.social #yeg #Edmonton #Alberta #cdnpoli #ISG #SenateofCanada

This year camp costs $725.00 per camper and requests for bursaries are higher than ever! The WGA offers bursaries between $150 to $500 for campers. Many of our campers request partial bursaries, meaning even a small donation can be the deciding factor in getting a camper to WordsWorth.

All donation amounts are appreciated, and tax receipts are available through our CanadaHelps campaign page as well as through our website. Visit writersguild.ca/back-a-bursary-support-wordsworth-campers-today/ to donate!

Sixty-one per cent of Canadians reported being “very concerned” or “extremely concerned” about online misinformation in 2025, according to the data. globalnews.ca/news/1184917...

Shannon Phillips reacts to Ottawa-Alberta carbon deal: "What an extraordinary moment this is in Canadian federalism when one province has essentially set the terms for climate policy for the entire country."

Magnolias are in peak form today at Fredericton Botanical Gardens 💕

A year ago some of us explained that Treaties do not allow this referendum, at least not unilaterally by a non treaty party. Today was Part 2 of that vindication. Part 1 was Justice Feasby’s decision.

Daily Dolly.

Hey NDP, keep on top of the gerrymandering as well. ablawg.ca/2026/04/13/t...

Damn. There it is.

We plan on painting the exterior of the house. Tips on where buying paint is the best deal? Tips on paint sprayers?

The fact that Signal has threatened to pull out of Canada should be a five-alarm fire for the Carney people. This bill is illiberal.

Do I know anyone in/near Ottawa who would like to teach Introduction to College English? This is probably a temporary position but could be a decent piece of the puzzle. www.cegep-heritage.qc.ca/about-us/car...

When dams are too low or there's no fuel for power generation, there's also zero electricity.

This is almost verbatim Danielle Smith’s argument against solar. Incidentally, Smith said Burgum was also a guest at the all expenses paid trip to Saudi Arabia last fall. #ableg #abpoli

Anyway I am eating jellybeans for breakfast like a g.d. adult and working on promo images for Aether and Ego - the two figures are clipped from different Hugh Thomson illustrations from the 1894 Pride and Prejudice, to which I will be adding background to give the scene a different context.

I wasn't aware you could just "reject" legal conclusions by a court. What is this America? Not so fast my dear quisling.

Dear Premier Smith and the UCP caucus...

If you're a Google Chrome user, they quietly installed a local LLM (AI) called Gemini Nano on the computer running it. It takes up just over 4GB of space. 𝗧𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: (same on Win/Mac) #AI • Click the 3 dots menu on the top right • Go to Settings • Go to System • Click to toggle off "On-device AI"

A few thoughts on Danielle Smith, bible stories and what governments are elected to do. The job of every elected leader is to leave things better than they found them. But the UCP keep making everything worse. #abpoli

“They just want to help children safely across the road on their way to and from school. Yet lollipop people [crossing guards] are having to wear body cameras after an increase in abusive & dangerous drivers. How did things get so out of hand?” We know how. We need to stop acting like it’s ok.

Justice Shaina Leonard says the petition should never have been issued.

“Building a new oil pipeline to the west coast of Canada is consistent with the teachings of Jesus, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told a gathering of Christian leaders and organizations from across the province last week.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.desmog.com/2026/05/13/o...

Thankfully many have. This is from the church I belong to and there is also a letter signed by over 300 church leaders. acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

ADAP and AISH new regs just dropped yesterday. Why does the UCP hate people with disabilities so much. More to come but I just spent six hours at work with my shirt on inside out, three hours of in front of students so….

BREAKING: Athabasca Chipewyan FN & Blood Tribe say they've won their court challenge of the Alberta separation referendum. The Chief Electoral Officer’s decision to issue a citizen initiative petition on independence has been quashed.

Full message here. It's worth a read.

Gift linking this because 1) it’s enraging, And 2) it is an enormous public disservice that the Globe’s reporting on the AB voters list saga is behind a paywall. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/64d9ad7...

A timelapse of the 3 minute walk it now takes to get from the current waterline to where it was just 5 years ago. The drought is real. And Alberta cannot afford AI datacentres.

A hormonal condition affecting 1 in 8 women around the world just got a new name in hopes of improving care. It Is now called polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome instead of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Watched some excellent NFB films over the last few days while planning a Pride film library program. These were two of my (animated) favourites, they won’t be included in the program but you can still watch them through the NFB site. www.nfb.ca/film/john_an...

Albertans, unfortunately we have to start getting the numbers confirmed for folkx FOR Canada on the upcoming ballot. This isn’t a think tank or political party. This is a friend of mine emailing me and getting started. Go to my Linktree or sign up here: forms.gle/rXY21HCn1Ad3...

Carney could act. #CdnPoli

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...
