Keep this going!

Please share this... Danielle Smith shared the below picture with a completely fabricated story. The mother has since stepped forward & with CBC speaking to the harm Smith's fabricated story has done. Smith's post has hurt her family and her business. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It was only a matter of time.

The front page of my journals...

Kinda feels like we're not far behind here in Alberta...

I could only hope to have this kind of talent.

Wow, the minister of education just said teachers are too greedy and now I have no doubt that there will be a strike. "They chose less teachers and more money" isn't the bargaining statement he thinks it is.

This morning's gov update on negotiations with teachers sounds more like an attempt to "get ahead" of the story than it is to give an update. They don't want to pay teachers what they're worth; they want teachers to be among the average of the country instead of leading the way.

I wish that I could give out prizes for this kind of brilliance.

I still think we have only seen the beginning of the scandal with the Mraiche crime family. Millions of bucks from rancid Tylenol and other procurement contracts are not paid off with just some jobs for nephews and a couple hockey tickets.

I don't know if this person is from Alberta but this applies here.

I finally have the words to use when my wife says 'no' to more shelves...

Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.

Remember that CPTSD will try to convince us that normal, natural changes in our bodies, for example due to aging or hormonal fluctuation, is somehow evidence we are "bad," "broken," or "crazy"-- whereas it's actually evidence we are humans w/ perfectly imperfect human bodies.

The next time the AB government says their restructuring of the health system is going swimmingly, read drowning instead. Programs in the area of illness and addiction prevention are being cut - both in the community through funded agencies and in the public service. 1/?

Monsters look exactly like people.

I think the thing folks don’t understand about Albertan progressives is that we are just as ornery/friendly, numerous, and dedicated to our cause as Albertan conservatives. We’ve been putting up with these chuds since kindergarten. We’re handling it.

I've never been so excited about wind farms!

Amen.

Just read an article about her in the Tyee thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Therapists share how this seemingly harmless phrase can affect you in adulthood.

Things are so bad, the planet is calling for Batman.

Golden.

“'Recovery coaches' employed by private firm Bowline Health are now required for people attempting to access at least one and as many as six publicly funded substance use recovery centres in Alberta” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli drugdatadecoded.ca/substance-us...

Shameful that we're at this part of the whole scandalous situation.

We have now reached the stage of the MHCare healthcare scandal where a prominent reporter is being surveilled. “Whoever hired this person or people to conduct this surveillance is clearly motivated to put a chill on Ms. Tait and anyone who might be thinking of speaking with her, she said.” 🎁

Another chance that money was mishandled by the AB government? Huh, you don't say ...

What a headline www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why Colbert's cancellation marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large

Why do I get the sense that a pattern is emerging in the way the Alberta government does things? Just saying... This government is doing everything back-ass-wards.

This week I took the scary step of asking for help and of looking vulnerable - by asking my email list what they thought about having a sponsor for each week’s email. I put out a lot of free content every week. I have a small team that helps me, but it takes a lot to keep everything running.

Living the dream.

Wired with some good forward-looking work here. Also - I'm so glad that "enshittification" is a thing. The last hurdle is seeing it introduced to Oxford and Webster.

Remember that time the AB government did a poll, and the people said they trusted the school librarians more than the gov in determining what books were appropriate? Yet another poll by the government is being ignored because the people don't want what the government wants. This is getting silly.

Brilliant.

For the working man, sure bud.

I will never understand why it's crazy to want clean drinking water for everyone, including my First Nations, Indigenous, and Metis neighbors.

“I want to be loved unconditionally” Why? What are you planning to do? 🥹😭😭😭😭😭

Here is the link to Gander Social Media Canadians. Time to really put those Elbows Up EH! gandersocial.ca

It's important to note that while the AB government touts its health reforms and justification for moving funding to profit-making and non-governmental "specialist" organizations that at its core their strategy is the result of a failure to provide services to the population.

People often underestimate my ability to be content alone.

Alberta is facing urgent crises in education and healthcare. So why are we talking about a private police force and a pension takeover? Danielle Smith isn’t fixing anything—she’s systematically dismantling everything. For who? And why? #abpoli #cdnpoli #AbLeg #DanielleSmith

Albertans: .... Smith: Introducing our brand new provincial police force! Albertans: No one asked for this and we quite like the RCMP. Smith: Here's the new chief! You're going to love this. Albertans: ....

Opinion: Bluesky is a dangerous echo chamber because no one wants to hear from me, specifically

Happy Canada Day. We’re all about small-p patriotism: recognizing there’s plenty of work to be done, but also that we’ve got something worth building on here. Another thread 👇

"And all this is cheaper than accepting homelessness." Sorry, what more do we need to know?

The government recently released the results of it's own survey showing how extremely unpopular the idea of the APP is. But they're going to pursue it anyways. The AB people: This is a really dumb idea! Smith: Hold my beer.

Disgusting. Supposed to be the leader of the government and she's spouting nonsense.
