A wonderful idea! Why give the grumpy separatists control of the narrative? Let's talk about what's great in Alberta, and what we ourselves can change. Let's show everyone that the grumpy folks aren't the only opinion and maybe that they aren't the biggest voice, even if they are loud.

This is a very good idea by @jlisayoung.bsky.social and the Alberta NDP should find a way to make it happen -- immediately. lisayoung.substack.com/p/less-ottaw...

Alberta as we know it today simply would not exist without the millions of immigrants and refugees who built it, who loved it, and who were proud to call it home - including my grandparents and my mum. This bitter xenophobia is as unAlbertan as it’s possible to be. I’m ashamed. I’m disgusted.

Meanwhile… It appears the province has successfully blocked the former AHS CEO from forwarding on two emails to the auditor general. Because Smith and Amery are committed to full cooperation and transparency. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.canlii.org/en/ab/abca/d...

“The majority did not just greenlight an especially odious immigration policy without any explanation; it did so in a case in which the government defied the district court—twice—with no consequence.”

"Energy producers in Alberta, Canada's top oil-producing province, blew past the province's self-imposed limit on annual natural gas flaring in 2024 for a second year in a row, Reuters calculations show. Late last week, Alberta's energy regulator said it was ending the limit on flaring."

So, what have we learned. We have no money for U.S. citizens for schools, medical care, food, or quality of life issues. We do, however, have money for missiles, unprovoked wars, and for kidnapping people off the street. We have also learned that one party is evil incarnate and the other is useless.

Pierre Poilievre is the only national leader in the history of Canada who refuses (or can't get) national security clearance. He doesn't have a clue what he is talking about as he tries to stoke war in the Persian Gulf. No wonder voters booted his arse out of Parliament.

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war. I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

Trump's bombing of Iran serves no larger political or security purpose. He just didn't want to look like a loser as he was goaded by the war criminal Netanyahu. Canada must separate ourselves from the reckless violence of the gangster regime in Washington.

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

Danielle Smith’s UCP is making COVID vaccines harder to get — and charging seniors up to $110 per dose. It’s not about health. It’s about politics. CBC is exposing it. That’s why Conservatives want it gone. Read: r.pebmac.ca/https://www.... Defend the truth. Defend the CBC. #SaveTheCBC

This is honestly too much. The Premier talking about 135M HC dollars just wasted and acting like she has NOTHING to do with why we are here. Everything she and her govt has done has brought us to this point, a 🧵to recap: buff.ly/HuESfWk 1/10

Undocumented immigrants can't vote. They don't vote for Democrats because they can't vote. Democrats don't look the other way to let them into the country for votes, because, again: they can't vote. If you are a news org and people tell you otherwise, it's a lie, and you should call it that.

The Premier claims Alberta’s vaccine wastage is the problem. But the real problem is how we got here: – Public health dismantled – Expert leadership removed – Education silenced – Delivery fragmented Alberta’s measles crisis and vaccine collapse were manufactured — not accidental. #ABleg #ABpoli
