This bus has been stranded on Edmonton Trail and 4th Ave since before I came home yesterday. 24 hours later and it's still here, wtf.

How it feels to have our next big trip on the books! Tell me about everything we should see and do and eat in Japan next fall 🇯🇵

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

Y'all need to check out the bullshit on RJ Sigurdson's FB page tonight.

The highest turnout in decades. We need to get better at finding genuine humans that people would get excited to vote for.

Just to remind ppl that zohran campaigned as unapologetically pro-Palestine so stop saying it’s an untenable position

UCP supporters will say Operation Total Recall is a leftist conspiracy but Calgary Bow's petition was filed by an individual who ran for the Alberta Party in 2023 and Airdrie East was filed by an individual who told media he's "not an NDP supporter"

Alberta is Recalling

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult. But not impossible. Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

I need to see some recent provincial polling

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue. we’ll all subscribe en masse

Times like these I wish I still had Twitter so I could troll the UCP MLAs about how the widdle wecalls are hurting their widdle feefees

A second member of the Alberta legislature is facing a citizen petition to recall her from her job.

Yesterday I declined a renewal contract with a company because the credit check they did on us "didn't provide enough info" for them to believe that we could pay $118 monthly for a 3 year term despite us already paying that for the last 2 years. They wanted a co-signer for the contract.

Just remembered this hahahahahahahahahaha lol www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I would LOVE to see a poll from this week! calgaryherald.com/news/politic...

👀 these are interesting times!

I'm wondering if there's such a resource where people can brush up on their knowledge of what actually happens in government?

Alberta, rise up! ✊🏾 This is the moment. - Got $500? Give it to a teacher to pay their fine(s). - what if teachers all called in sick on Wednesday? - what if teachers all resigned, en masse? - labour lawyers, you know Bill 2 isn't just, please consider supporting the cause & donate your hours.

"I remember when the party fired their leaders for less" And that's because they're scared of us. They are so desperately clinging to power that they'd rather fall in line with a dictator than risk a boot from caucus or trigger a non confidence vote and lose. Do NOT give up this fight.

Currently reading a book that's so bad I can tell that the author is conservative, lol

NEW: With all 69 polls reporting, independent candidate Harrison Clark has been elected in Ward 9.

Ward 9 taking forever

Perhaps he'll experience his exact words: "Johnston told reporters that all elected officials should be afraid of the “power of the people” and he will continue to push for Gondek to resign." Gondek isn't there anymore to be tied to the whipping post. globalnews.ca/news/1040385...

I'm so annoyed (and probably hungry too). If you haven't voted, and like me, enjoy voting on the day, and realize you should have advanced voted because this was asinine today, at 1½ hours, get up and go vote, immediately. Do not wait. The province wants low turnout. Deny them the satisfaction.

Hearing that the polls in Calgary are a mess and the wait times to vote are long 😬 so I'm gonna remind everyone that the province put these extra costs and obligations on muncipalities' legislative services without increasing their funding. This is yet another UCP blunder.

Looking for #calgary people who've taken the #sait accounting course & is currently working in some kind of accounting role. #yyc

Forever grateful to be in a neighborhood with my kind of people (zoom in on the signs lol)

BuT tHe PoLLs ...were way off in 2021. Vote for who best aligns with you.

Absolutely wild for people to call for candidates to drop out from the race two weeks after the withdrawal deadline AND after advance voting. Even if they wanted to, they literally *can't* withdraw at this point.

There is a guy on Threads who is asking Brian Thiessen to drop out of the mayoral race. He blocked me for pointing out that the withdrawal date has passed and he literally *can't* drop out now. Progressives 🙄

Just gonna point out that *every* pollster had the Liberals winning in Newfoundland & Labrador tonight. Maybe Calgarians can stop panicking over that recent mayoral poll.

It warms my heart to see Angela Pitt getting absolutely roasted in the comments of her recent FB post

Just randomly remembered Grindstone Theatre's "Jason Kenney's Hot Boy Summer" and now I desperately need to see a musical about Danielle Smith's governance on literally any issue

I'm seeing a couple of people saying their UCP MLA's constituency offices are closed with no warning. Any journalists working on finding out why?

Today's not off to a good start. I failed getting Nelson's dose of insulin into his body (fur shot) and got stuck behind a giant train on the way to work. I need the day to turn around ASAP.

Calgary election PSA. We haven't heard of a single candidate forum in Wards 2, 3, 12, 13 or 14. And three of those have no incumbents. What gives?? WAKEY WAKEY, FOLKS! There's an election in 20 days! Get a candidate debate going already! The Sprawl will even livestream it for you! #yyccc

A friend was down about how conservative Alberta is so I reminded him that when we were in high school many years ago, an NDP opposition was unthinkable. 1/3

I say this all the time but I'm gonna try to spend more time on Bluesky. I actually like that no one talks to me here 😂

This is so worth watching. Evan is amazing! I'm shocked to hear that Bruce didn't reach out to apologize personally to Evan and am horrified to hear that his high school's stairwells aren't up to fire code. My God.

Just found out that a highly coveted brand of low carb dry cat food is going to be available in Canada soon and I'm so happy I could cry. It's been SO HARD finding kibble for Nelson and I'm thrilled to have more options.

I'd estimate there are ~100K children under 12 in AB schools, given enrollment of over 700K in the province 100,000 x $150 = potentially $15,000,000 A WEEK instead of investing in schools and teachers Don't let anyone fool you into thinking conservatives are better w/ money #ableg #abpoli #abed

Last night, Bruce McAllister, the voice of this government, suggested a young student be beaten after daring to ask about education funding and the teachers strike. /1

@canadianpolling.bsky.social I hope you're planning on doing some AB polling over the next few weeks. Things are about to get chaotic here.

Trying to think of something to email my province's premier besides "eat shit"

Just wondering if anyone knows why Terry Wong's signs are a) comically tiny and b) not using Communities First branding? Seems a bit dishonest to not represent yourself as a party candidate, no?

I wish I could scroll Bluesky from the bottom to the top like Twitter. It's truly one of the main reasons I don't go on here much.

There's nothing wrong with joking about a bad thing that happened to a bad person who explicitly stated he wants to live in a world where that *exact* bad thing happens to other people.

Lmao
