Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

Oh Alberta, where nobody is equal under the law … where the UCP decide who has rights … or gets to run for office … or when it’s own legislation is being used in bad faith (ironical, right?) … or …

“Mark Carney did not receive a majority mandate from Canadian voters. Yet he's trying to cobble together a majority through undemocratic means with backroom deals and pressure tactics,” www.cbc.ca/news/politic... Scheer seems remarkably unfamiliar with Canadian politics after 21 years bench warming.

Republicans just rejected a Democratic proposal to end the longest government shutdown ever by reopening the government in exchange for a 1 year extension of ACA subsidies. Republicans again refuse to stop health insurance premiums from skyrocketing.

Border Patrol has a culture of cruelty, disdain for accountability, and impunity for human rights violations. As the Trump administration continues to put Border Patrol at the head of its violent immigrant enforcement campaigns, Congress must hold the agency accountable. 

City of Calgary Mayor and Councillors, It is with great disappointment that our first communication to the newly formed council of the City of Calgary is to speak to an act of reprehensible violent raids perpetrated by the Calgary Police Service upon the most vulnerable residents.

The stage of fascism where the food coming out of your country is not safe for anyone to eat. Lovely.

Adoption doesn’t exist outside the family policing system—it depends on it. Behind every “forever family” headline is surveillance, removal, and profit from separation. #adopteesky

Not seeing #PPHollowMan regularly whining, Snivelling, lying, attacking, seeking spotlight, spreading vile hatred, disunity, makes me kinda sad! 😢 Nah! Just kidding!

Libs survived their second confidence vote. This should be the end of Poilievre. Weasels, apparently, have nine lives too however, so not a given. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Man if I had wanted a shitload of power and had no conscience, I would have been conservative.

Is there really any other option? If they end it now and nothing has changed, the entire thing was for naught. #USDemocracy apnews.com/article/gove...

Nothing says ‘fit to lead’ like napping through your own medical endorsement. Get Grandpa Don to bed. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Climate change is turning Amazon lakes into hot puddles and cooking fish and river dolphins in them. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Poilievre sends the only guy with less charisma than him out to run cover for him. Things are not looking good. #cdnpoli

A friend went to Cuba for jazz festival and was blown away by how supportive the government was to their arts community, especially compared to Alberta.

I would go a step further even. The Irish cherish and protect their artists (even if they think the art is shite), while Canadians tend towards scorn and patronizing dismissiveness for our artists (even if we think the art is very good).

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

There’s a rumour circulating on FB that Poilievre will resign after the weekend. Fingers crossed. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Not coerced? Needing to “spend more time” with family is the classic lie politicians tell when the real reason will get them in trouble. #cdnpoli

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

So not only is Matt Jeneroux (CPC - Edmonton-Riverbend) resigning, it sounds like he was very much likely to cross the floor to the Liberals before his own party got to him www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

WOW! Pete Guthrie has filed legislative FOIP requests and one of them seems to suggest… Dani’s former Chief of Staff, Marshall Smith is making bank of his government connections? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

In a social media post, Pierre Poilievre says his MP Matt Jeneroux will quit "next spring". Kind of implies Jeneroux will be there for confidence vote on NOV 17. Jeneroux not responding to questions about his NOV 17 intentions as of 2000 ET. www.facebook.com/422580029229...

The Liberals are expected to win their first confidence vote on the budget this evening when 7 NDP MPs join with169 voting Liberal MPs to vote down a Conservative amendment to the budget. #cdnpoli

3 MPs have now quit on Pierre Poilievre: Alain Rayes to sit as an Independent; d’Entremont to the Liberals; Jeneroux to leave the House. #cdnpoli

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.

Its pro-saviour propaganda. As a newborn interracial adoptee, I did not "fare well" mentally, and rejected Christianity at adolescence. Actually, familial cultural connection is a protective factor for FNMI #SixtiesScoop adoptees: fpcfr.com/index.php/FP... Lots more where that came from. 🥚

That ridiculous ostrich farm woman was on the news crying "this is the worst mistake in Canadian history". Like, for real?!? Guess history isn't your strong suit either, along with science. The sooner we can be rid of this nonsense, the better. #CullTheBirdsNow

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Absolute nonsense. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most profitable industries on the planet, every single new drug that comes to market is the result of some funding from taxpayers to discover or develop it, yet many Canadians can’t afford these same medicines.

No surprises here. The CPC is the party that leaks dirt until its failed leaders quit. Two so far. They wouldn't blink at turning on a MP. Plus, the majority of them are in Alberta and it's not nice, or safe, here for people who run afoul of the party at either govt level.

lmao #abpoli #cdnpoli

People thinking they’re inventing network television after 10 years of destroying network television, I am going to walk into the fucking ocean.

Nearly 200(!!!) Albertans gathered at a town hall Wednesday in Calgary demanding changes from the provincial government including calling to scrap two controversial plans including one that could reopen parts of the Rockies to coal mining. calgary.citynews.ca/video/2025/1... #ABLeg #ABPoli

Reminds me of when everyone shows up to visit granddad at the nursing home at the same time, and there aren't enough chairs.

The Douthat interview with some woman I have never heard of is a hot topic today. tldr is they are blaming all of societal ills on feminism. How original. I get why men want to go back to the 1970s. Great time to be a chauvinist pig. But why a woman want to go back? I'll never understand that.

I read it; it’s so so dumb. The say “woke” or “wokeness” - I am not joking - 25 times. These people cannot conceive of the idea that while society teaches us gendered behavior & there are observable differences between the genders, people are wonderfully diverse & never neatly filed into boxes.
