NEW: The company behind Alberta's Grassy Mountain coal plan said it spent about $2000 on ads. But an investigation by @nationalobserver.com shows pro-coal social media ads during the vote period totaled more than $11,000 — and that's only part of the spend.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

A brilliant artist and fantastic solar application. Congrats!!

How #Alberta Gave Measles the Advantage Danielle Smith 🤬promotes and thrives on post-pandemic chaos. It’s putting children at too much risk. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

Wow! We Albertans sure know how to pick ‘em. 😮‍💨

Did anyone really think that electing a convicted felon and sexual predator would somehow lead America into a new era of promise? The TACO bell is ringing loudly and we're still only 5 months into the shit show.

Pope Leo XIV will be celebrating a mass in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s multi-million tax paid birthday military parade. Chicago is expecting at least 1 million people to show up for the event. If you can make it to the Pope’s mass then do it, make it the biggest event of the day.

When I read this duplicitous clown say "Carney’s spending is absolutely out of control" in another piece, would be nice if one "journo" would point out that Poilievre's office spent more than the other leaders COMBINED last year,his expenses were outlandish. Walk the walk or stfu Skippy. #cdnpoli

There are people with disgusting anti-choice posters on Kensington Road and 10th Street NW. There are children who live in Hillhurst Sunnyside and tourists/visitors being exposed to these extremists’ graphic images. Calgary Police need to remove them immediately. #yyc @cmcalgary.bsky.social

Detective collected video footage but never watched it. He collected her used clothing but never sent it for forensic testing. And he never filed for a warrant to get the files from Hockey Canada. And y'all wonder why less than 10% of victims in Canada report to the police.

Danielle Smith, a vaccine skeptic and disease contrarian, has worked hard to make her province a burgeoning measles republic. Andrew Nikiforuk writes. #abpoli

Trump's ambassador to Canada has a long and dark history of disinformation and interference in the politics of other countries. So when he tells Canada to "get over it" regarding Trump's threat to our nation, don't believe him. Check out my analysis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkAg...

The Alberta Energy Regulator refused to answer questions about a meeting between its senior execs and reps of Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart’s Northback Holdings Corp. held less than a month before the regulator granted permission to do work on the controversial Grassy Mountain project.

800% INCREASE IN THREATS TO POLITICIANS SINCE POILIEVRE BECAME LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION. It time for him to go. #resign

Albertans have good reason to be angry: their real wages are down 10%, their minimum wage is frozen, their inflation is worst in Canada, their health care's at risk. None of that was caused by the rest of Canada. My take in today's @TorontoStar: www.thestar.com/business/opi.... #cdnecon

Pierre Poilievre named #1 spreader of disinformation in Canada. #cdnpoli cultmtl.com/2025/04/pier...

~WOW!! Every Single Albertan needs to read this! It's all we've been saying& MORE in one tidy package There’s never been more oil wealth generated despite the Libs in Ottawa There is no province where real incomes&living standards have deteriorated more in the past decade than AB archive.ph/eLGsK

All Canadians living pay check to pay check, Do you realize you are paying for a chef, driver, security, housekeepers and an expense budget for Pierre Poilievre ? Pierre lost his seat and is NOT Leader of the Opposition which legally he has zero right to live in Stornoway. He provides no value !

This.

Albertans don't want this. www.thetyee.ca/News/2025/05...

New one day record for Alberta for new measles cases. a reminder that mortality rate is 1 in a thousand, and we're at over 500. a reminder that hospitalization rate is 1 in ten. a reminder that vaccination works to lower infections, hospitalizations and deaths. source; www.alberta.ca/measles

Now that it’s clear that (1) Albertans don’t want to separate & (2) Alberta is not separating, could pollsters & media focus on Danielle’s half a billion dollar procurement scandal, unjust firing of the AHS CEO, and UCP MLA corruption? #Alberta #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #Canada #CanadaSky 🇨🇦 #yyc #yeg

An Australian coal speculator that is suing the Alberta government for billions of dollars has been found to have violated the Public Lands Act and has been ordered to clean up contamination at a construction site in the Crowsnest Pass.

Updated #UCPayToPlay scandal-in-a-tweet: Premier Smith's former chief of staff allegedly pressured health officials to cut half a billion dollars in contracts to a businessman whose sister was his landlord and who bought them all luxury NHL tickets. And they fired the person ready to reveal it.

~Whiners gonna whine!

Only in America can a convicted felon threaten Bruce Springsteen, Bono and Oprah. I wonder if Qatar's newest employee ran this by the Royal family before shooting his mouth off.

Good morning !

Danielle Smith aka the female tRumper is in for a fight!

In honour of Danielle Smith, we’re introducing our new segment, "If at first you don't secede, lower the bar." Plus, a new merch line for the upcoming Alberta separation season. From this week's episode of 'Whatever This Is'. Watch the full episode and catch up on the series at WhateverThisIs.ca.

Alberta Premier demands @mark-carney.bsky.social build a pipeline to Prince Rupert. Besides the childish demanding, there are important marine geohazards reasons why that could be a spectacularly foolish idea ⚒️🇨🇦 calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

I'm a retired nurse; clocked 25 years before disability took me down and had to retire. This seems all warm and fuzzy, but health care staff are already overstretched, and now they have to cancel time off with their kids and family because the system can't provide adequate staffing? Bullshit.

Massive anti-genocide protest in London today, hundreds of thousands demand justice and an end to Israel’s ongoing genocide of Gaza. #3E #EndImpunity #freepalestine

~Poilievre's new position in my dreams.
