Danielle Smith hearing that the "Alberta Forever Canada" petition has been successfully verified by Elections Alberta

Meet two heroes of our times.

Well, shit. Rookie mistake.

Husband simply cannot grasp that you have to say the assistant’s NAME and THEN the command. He also talks over it when it's responding. Chat, is this a solid future defense for temporary insanity when I’m asked why a grown man arguing with a speaker snapped my last neuron?

22 Minutes really needs to make this a regular segment 😅

🧵: After years of isolating myself because of trauma, I’ve been pushing myself hard to connect with other women my age and get back out into the world. It’s been difficult, but it’s paying off.

As the UCP vote to adopt an anti-fluoride policy as a party... It's a good time to remember that this is the official government position on fluoride as of... (Checks notes) A whole 2.5 years ago. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

WOW! In March, Danielle Smith justified not calling for a public inquiry in part because her new right hand man... (former #YEG Police Chief, Dale Mcfee) had looked into the corrupt care scandal The same one who the Globe showed was partying with Sam Mraiche! #abpoli #ableg

The whole internet collapsing into a maze of single-purpose apps is a pretty solid indicator that whatever salvation we were supposed to get has long since packed its bags and left town.

@profanity.accountant I probably need to up my game

From the DM’s… As if Smith recalling her own recall legislation wasn’t bad enough… Apparently she’s also moving forward with LEGISLATION to ban the word “progressive” from political party names. Like, banning the word. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It is kind of hilarious to me that Danielle got her pipeline MOU for a pipeline that will never happen, and her base doesn't even want it because Liberals.

Keeping buying Canadian! It's working, and here is the demonstable proof! globalnews.ca/news/1154869...

If you're a resident of Calgary Fish Creek make a plan to sign the petition If you're not a resident spread the word recallmyles.ca

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've attended: -Smashing Pumpkins -54-40 -Bob Dylan -Prince -The Halluci Nation (A Tribe Called Red) -The Tragically Hip (yes I know we all did but specifically during their final tour 😭)

Should you feel so inclined, you can view the locations of the snowplows and graders out on the roads in real-time via GPS. Some of them have names, some don't. Some of the names are great, some are not. maps.calgary.ca/RoadConditio... #Calgary

Lovely day for a walk with the dogs! I even like driving in this weather, my car was built for these conditions 😅 (also: winter tires).

Perhaps we’ll experience an event violent enough to knock us sideways into the timeline where Gore actually won in 2000. I’m not naive enough to think it would have fixed everything, but the idea that we could ricochet into a marginally less cursed branch of reality isn’t COMPLETELY far-fetched.

I haven't documented here the ongoing feud we have with our neighbour so y'all can't fully appreciate the level of petty I achieved with exact lines of demarcation between our shovelled walk/driveway and theirs...a level of precision heretofore only seen in forensic surveys and boundary disputes.

RECALL THEM ALL 🗳️ NOV 26 UPDATE: #RecallGlubish has entered the arena! 14 MLAs are approved for signature gathering now. 5 more paperwork submitted, 4 targeted including DS. The games are heating up before the UCP AGM party. #ABleg #ABpol #RecallThemAll #TotalRecall

The group includes members of Smith's cabinet and the Speaker of the Alberta legislature. globalnews.ca/news/1154076...

Trump never had a fan base. He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe. It’s as stupid as it sounds.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Winter arrives in YYC! So of course, our snowblower shits the bed. It's our annual tradition!

New Episode! Danielle Smith and the UCP are not only attacking the courts… They’re straight up lying about them! We break down what’s happening and what the implications are with lawyer Will Van Engen! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

“The decision to override Charter rights fails this test.” The Anglican, Lutheran and United Churches in Alberta have written to Danielle Smith condemning her use of the notwithstanding clause to punch down on the vulnerable Albertans. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Thank you to the Assembly of First Nations for standing up for the human and charter rights of 2SLGBTQQIA+ Albertans. The UCP government must immediately withdraw Bill 9 and uphold the inherent rights, teachings, and responsibilities of all first peoples.

“The Alberta gov’t released a report on aggression and complexity in schools on Friday that echo what the teachers’ union and others have spent years calling for, prompting critics to accuse the gov’t of dragging its heels.” It’s almost as if they should have been listening all along. 🎁

CTV news coverage of anti-bill 9 protest in Calgary yesterday:

Great turnout for Trans Day of Remembrance and the rally against Bill 9! 🏳️‍⚧️✊️🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 #abpoli #ableg #transrightsarehumanrights #recallthemall #notonotwithstanding

I honestly thought this statement was satire. The audacity of the UCP somehow still manages to blow my mind. #abpoli #ableg

During the same week that the UCP is expanding privatization, the auditor general finds that government interference cost taxpayers over $100 million. How can anyone deny it’s the government that’s the problem? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Jessica: This backfiring with the gerrymandering is a big deal. Trump asked Abbott to cheat for him. They try, they fail. And a Trump-appointed judge even helped with that. So now it looks like Republicans aren’t going to net any seats. It looks like Democrats could end up with an extra three seats.

BREAKING: US Ambassador to Canada accuses Canada of meddling in US elections, states “Only we're allowed to do that shit.”

“The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) strongly condemns the Alberta government’s introduction of legislation invoking the notwithstanding clause to shield three laws that directly threaten the rights of trans and gender-diverse people in the province.” ccla.org/press-releas...

That the UCP has the audacity to try and spin the cost of all the recall petitions as "wasting taxpayer dollars" is mind-boggling.

I just called. My voice shook as well, I HATE speaking on the phone, but I said what I needed to say (politely). I'd truly hate to have that job.

📣 Official House of Commons petition Take immediate and decisive measures to prohibit the destruction or permanent loss of all residential school records held by federal, provincial, institutional, or ecclesiastical custodians… #cdnpoli #indigenous #justice #treaty www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

I definitely plan to sign, lots of locations upcoming in Calgary

The 2025 fall session of the Alberta legislature will come to be known, infamously, as the Notwithstanding Session. I hope that it will also give rise to what will be known as the Notwithstanding General Strike. The Charter shd protect the rights of minorities not the bigotry of the majority #abpoli

It’s worth remembering that the UCP aren’t just robbing Albertans of their charter rights… Amery openly conceded that these laws also violate the Alberta Human Rights Act and the Alberta Bill of Rights. That the UCP just rewrote. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Today, government introduced Bill 9 legislation invoking the notwithstanding clause to override a court ruling that protects youth access to gender-affirming care. This places government between a patient and their physician, undermining clinical autonomy. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

Today more than any day ever before, I am convinced people don’t read on this site. I have explained the contents of the Epstein Files Transparency Act on this here site no less than three times today, and how it PREVENTS Trump from claiming all the files can’t be released due to an investigation.

The good work that the #CanadianArmedForces is doing is a missed opportunity to share with the public. The #Canadian government needs to make these operations known to show impact #CAF has globally. #cdnpoli #JamaicaHurricane #HurricaneMelissa #JamaicaHumanitarianRelief

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me
