I genuinely think this mayor has hit upon how to fix, or at least substantially improve, the Canadian healthcare system! Cities and/or provinces need to be trying this at scale right now.

this exists it is called thinking

On Thursday, Sobeys began a lockout in Balzac that is affecting over 250 workers. The union is calling on Albertans to support locked-out Sobeys workers by avoiding Sobeys, Safeway, FreshCo, Voilà, M&M Meat Shops, and Petro-Canada convenience stores.

When you're so far left that the Charter of Rights and Freedoms looks like a bourgeois plot:

I don't know what it would exactly entail, but I think it's time for people to start boycotting Alberta. (Assuming you didn't for several valid reasons.)

The word "Luddite" is not an insult in a world where refrigerators play ads

It appears the Canadian government is introducing new legislation that will likely be weaponized to prevent anti-genocide protests on university campuses. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

The extent to which Sarkeesian and Quinn, a pair of run-of-the-mill feminists, are sort of responsible for the state of the world is nuts.

Elon Musk and several of the largest accounts on Twitter are doing everything they possibly can in this moment to focus the violent retribution people are braying for right now towards trans people. It is IMPERATIVE to be loud ally right now and defend the trans community with our whole chest.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

It’s time for a People’s Power Grid. Publicly-owned clean energy infrastructure that will bring clean, affordable, reliable energy to everyone. Sign the petition now: act.350.org/sign/ppg

Wow, I'd never heard this take on the snipers before. Makes some sense.

Alberta's teachers have announced our intention to begin strike action on October 6. We need the government to step up and fund public education as a top priority! @albertateachers.bsky.social

The best joke of the latest episode of @hdtgm.bsky.social is that the embedded ads I'm getting are for Amaz*n Pr*ime.

Ah, yes, pornography. That concept, which is famously very easy to legally define in an actionable way.

Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:

And what will Albertans without smartphones and driver's licenses do?

Takeaways from the govt press conference that just concluded: - Government sounds unwilling to move on salary offer because of what they say are labour market calculations - the 1,000 new teachers a year promise would be *maximum*. Not on top of what enrolment growth requires #AbLeg #AbEd

You're the biggest city in the world. Pay a fucking animator! bbc.com/news/videos/...

Strangest thing I've ever seen in a tennis match, and that's a sport prone to strange happenings.

NEW from me in Jacobin: With a deal now in sight, Air Canada flight attendants' defiance of the government's back-to-work order shows the power of a defiant, adversarial labor movement. jacobin.com/2025/08/air-...

🚨 Mark Carney is trying to force 10,000 flight attendants back to work while Air Canada refuses to pay them for essential duties. Enough corporate greed. Enough union busting. Enough attacks on workers' rights.

This is a real saying the quiet part loud moment:

If you want a COVID-19 vaccine in Alberta this is what you now need to do: 1. "Pre-order" by Sept. 30: bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr... 2. In the fall, remember to book a public health clinic appointment. (No more pharmacy shots.) 3. Pay. (Prices not yet announced.) 4. Attend appointment.

FUCK you @nationalpost.bsky.social. This is unforgivable, traitorous shit from people claiming to be journalists. How dare you accept this framing from a state that is SLAUGHTERING our colleagues. How DARE you.

I believe they call this "finding out" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Let's go, Riverhawks! @edmriverhawks.bsky.social

This would've been a joke in Mad Magazine in the 90s. Irony truly is dead

Increasingly I think a major function of “masculinity” IS its crisis — a vehicle for the dominant & dominating group to justify focusing their social attentions primarily on themselves

Non-Canadians: You likely were not familiar with Justin Trudeau's ex and his mother. Katy Perry kinda makes sense for him, actually.

Why are any of you using Substack still? When we say they platform Nazis, it's not figurative. This is a real newsletter with swastikas and everything.

it is wild as fuck to me how much shit is now tv that once upon a time would've been a piece of cardboard or plastic

Fortunately, it is literally the one actor I wouldn't be disappointed to know is an AI schill.

I was thinking of doing a nerdy rebuttal to this, but *Fabian Nicieza* beat me to it!

Hey, Edmonton! Think about this:

I think this might be the solution. Gamble on anything, but make it difficult to actually do.

I think the really important thing about the "trans sports debate" is that it's NOT REAL, the things that people are fearmongering about are NOT REAL and are NOT HAPPENING. Cis women are not competing at a disadvantage against trans women, cis men aren't transitioning to win at sports, IT'S NOT REAL

GO! MY LABUBU MISSILE! KILL!

NDP voters, even? This country is screwed. And so much for my theory that conservatives must be content with how things worked out.

Dude, what? This guy seems entirely ill-suited to this character.

This clip aged like fine wine.

Liberals have been very concerned about mis- and disinformation in recent years, so when Mark Carney says carbon capture will allow for “decarbonized” oil, we should be clear that he’s engaging in active disinformation about climate change to please Danielle Smith and the Alberta oil industry.

Pro wrestling is so great. Check out this interpretation of the last couple of years of AEW storylines:

Can't be a big Kenny Omega match without a video game entrance that I totally don't understand.

You can’t make this up. The UCP are hiking rents for folks on AISH by over $200 a month. Right after they’ve stolen the $200 Disability Benefit from the same people. All while they brag about an $8 billion surplus. It’s more than cruel. It’s asinine. The attacks on disabled Albertans MUST stop.

Then they are going to do a bunch of shit that creates more shitty less than living wage jobs, and claim that they have created jobs not reduced them. Let's completely ignore the people those ministries serve too. More austerity. Yay! Sure glad we saved ourselves form the Conservatives!

I challenge you to find a cooler small room for wrestling than what @lovewrestlingca.bsky.social has got going.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins
