Shame on our Premier and her lackeys. … figures

This is a good read for all Canadians, not just Albertans. Don't be complacent and not pay attention. This shit is going on around us and so far it isn't stopping.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

today's essential read for all Canadians. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Indigenous resistance is rising. Doug Ford's grifter government has passed Bill 5 allowing companies to ignore duties to consult or carry out environmental assessments. Indigenous communities will not go along with the steal. Get set for Idle No More 2.0 charlieangus.substack.com/p/resistance...

Children in Fort Severn First Nation standing up against Doug Ford's Bill 5. "As I make my way back home to Thunder Bay, I don’t feel disheartened or defeated. I feel hopeful. Because I am seeing our people rising up, and I can feel the power in that." - Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler

“The richest one per cent control 24 per cent of [Canada’s] wealth…the 87 richest families in Canada held as much wealth as the bottom 12 million Canadians combined [in 2018].” #TaxTheRich #cdnpoli #Canada #CanadaSky 🇨🇦

This is how it is done, Alberta.

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

Ladies and Gentlemen. Mr. Bob Rae. Canada’s Ambassador to the United Nations. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ ❤️🍁🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🍁❤️ #canada #canadastrong #elbowsup #teamcanada #canadaunited #tariffs #tradewar #never51state #buycanadian #usa

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.
