At the BCNDP Convention - Eby’s biggest standing ovation so far comes for his pledge that a BCNDP govt will never - ever - override the right to bargain and negotiate using the notwithstanding clause.

This is an Alberta retail electricity choice post. I've been quiet for a while on the "Fixed or Floating?" question largely because it hasn't been as egregiously tilted towards one answer as it was from 2021-23 (Go Fixed!) It's time for an update... 🧵

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists have been granted access to the Cop30 climate negotiations in Belém, significantly outnumbering every single country’s delegation apart from the host Brazil, new analysis has found.

The Alberta Advantage!!

As a tradesperson, this is hard to watch 🤦‍♂️

For years, MAGA influencers demanded the release of the Epstein files. Now that 20,000 documents have been released, many raising questions about Donald Trump, they're shrugging. www.wired.com/story/maga-w...

Tesla's car biz (worth only $78 per share vs Tesla's current price of $402) is imploding. Overseas sales in Oct were -33%, the lowest start of Q4 sales on record. US EV sales at carmakers reporting monthly sales were -71% MoM & -49% YoY after Sept EV rush. open.substack.com/pub/bradmunc...

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

I keep seeing articles come up in the National Post, breathlessly sayhing separatists are meeting with high-level U.S. officials. One thing I never see is any attempt to fact check those claims. Who did they meet with? Why? Anything? #cdnpoli #ableg nationalpost.com/news/another...

On everything from vaccines to voting machines, Danielle Smith's government takes its marching orders from UCP members. When it comes to separatism, though, she seems to be pouring some water in their wine. Will they notice? #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/13/o...

new hitler facts just dropped

This exact same reporter was ousted from the NY Times for soliciting a $30,000 donation from Epstein— and you're telling me that as an employer, the NY Times never bothered to circle back and review this person's correspondence with a convicted pedophile?

Media standards: 1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention. 2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing. Way too many think that’s journalism.

They are looking more and more guilty and more desperate by the second

"Trump is a pedophile" email raises questions about whether Trump is a pedophile

Wild how every single member of the political and business elite went into full drooling fascism the second the prospect of consequences for abhorrent behavior started to seem possible

decent chance the joyce carol oates post goes down as the most important social media post of all time

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

For Democrats, the main issue in the shutdown wasn’t electoral backlash — it was the filibuster. Leadership feared its removal, viewing it as a safeguard to keep the party’s rising left wing in check.

the decision to really just abandon moderation and let it rip suggests that this is what meta wants for its platform. this is the final, idealized form of the product

I am convinced there is video footage of Trump r*ping a 12 year old

This ostrich thing illustrates that the 'culture wars' aren't so much about 'culture' as they are people who believe in science and democracy, and people who don't.

I think the ostrich situation is best understood as: The Canadian cranks don't have Trudeau to fixate on, and nothing else at the federal level has gained traction, so they just need some kind of esoteric outrage that keeps the machine running. It's basically a mid-season filler episode.

Musk is a mass murderer on a scale with some of the worst monsters of history, so it's not really like the scales are evened by having a moderately well known author eviscerate him on his own platform. still, you take what you can get.

oh my god

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The cost of living is continuing its rise as a top issue, named by two-thirds of Canadians, the highest level this year. The economy and healthcare follow, but affordability remains the political lens. Full poll results: abacusdata.ca/abacus-data...

love that Supercop #3 expects us to believe he had reason to believe a sitting MLA was engaged in flagrant corruption, conducted an illegal search — and then got distracted so never completed his investigation. Adorable.

Phillips said she will proceed with a $400,000 lawsuit filed against several Lethbridge Police Service members for invasion of her privacy, and some details from the ASIRT investigation may inform her case. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal. www.the-independent.com/sport/olympi...

“Canada has lost its measles elimination status, the Public Health Agency of Canada says” Congratulations Alberta! We did it! Thanks Dani! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

By using s33 pre-emptively, the UCP is not simply admitting that their laws are breaching Charter rights. (Governments have done that before.) By foregoing judicial review, they are further admitting that their laws cannot be justified in a democratic society. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

so cool that mark carney is gutting climate policy to make a very expensive bet that asia will buy a ton of additional oil and gas from canada over the next few decades

HALF THE POPULATION IS DOWN YOU GUYS LET'S DO IT

Alberta - "Do you feel this use of the notwithstanding clause (Forcing teachers back to work) was..." Inappropriate: 50% Appropriate: 33% Neither: 10% Leger / Nov 2, 2025 / n=1002 / Online

"I argued in 2021 that it would have been proactive for the UCP to limit the reasons that an MLA recall campaign could be held. But, perhaps expecting the law might be more likely used against their political opponents, the UCP chose to leave the recall law open-ended."

The B.C. Teachers Federation is donating $1 million to support the ATA! The suppression of charter rights is a huge deal and should only ever be used as a last resort. Shame the… (Checks notes) premier of Alberta doesn’t get that. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

incredible new trump photo

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

congrats to everyone for thinking this through before signing very big contracts to put it on every student’s device at the school or university you run

Mamdani is already cleaning up the NYPD!
