Relieved to hear that all the advocacy from my sector ensured that Carney re-introduced a Minister for Women and Equality. Reminder that holding politicians accountable is literally our job as voters. Calling out Carney did not mean we wanted the CPCs to win. It was for this exact outcome.

The Sask Party govt keeps leaning hard on oil as a revenue generator and that's not working. Our province needs to diversify more into renewable energy and the green business sector sooner rather than later to prevent an economic meltdown in our province www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Whatever #SARM and its rural #SaskParty base want, they get even if they kill firefighters. Professional #firefighters, #health professionals, and #environmentalists all agree this is dangerous, reckless, and unnecessary. #skpoli

Professional #firefighters across #Saskatchewan are telling #ScottMoe and his #SaskParty govt this is a terrible idea. Yet, they pass the bill. Why? 'Cause they're experts at everything- but governing. #Saskatchewan #skpoli behttps://bsky.app/profile/jeremysimes.bsky.social/post/3lp3shrrf222r

This is just sickening and absolutely in #PremierScottMoe ‘s playbook. Don't buy into this hateful misinformation. #cdnpoli #skpoli #Saskatchewan #Canada #womeninsports #trans #love

IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!

#Conservative in 🇨🇦 are #IDU members also use Harper's corrupt political processes. The Tyee lists 70 examples of abuse of power by Stephen Harper. #cdnpoli #canpoli #abpoli #onpoli #CPC #UCP #Never51 #UCPCorruption #NeverPoilievre #Fascism #Democracy #IDUPlaybook thetyee.ca/Opinion/2015...

May is Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Canada 🇨🇦 Why not carve out an hour of your time to learn effective bystander intervention? Webinar fits up to 1,000 people so please help me spread the word! Cameras/mics are off, so it's very doable for the shy crowd! Let's get people trained ✊🏻

Leaked letter from health-care workers at Regina General Hospital alleges patients died after not receiving urgent, life-saving interventions due to severe staffing shortages in the hospital's interventional radiology unit. Disgusting negligence by the Sask Party govt www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Alberta chief tells Premier Smith "to pack her bags" #cdnpoli

Fuck yeah, Turnbull. #yqrcc

What’s at the heart of Alberta premier Danielle Smith’s separation rhetoric? Oil. Her position, @drewanderson.bsky.social writes, has been driven since the outset by the Free Alberta Strategy. It's a plan to back oil and gas — even if it means breaking up Canada. thenarwhal.ca/free-alberta...

“Alberta has no apparent right to secede. A supposedly “independent” Alberta would be an unlawful occupation of land that was only shared with the Crown, not the people who came to settle the province.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Except nearly everything Council does amounts to a public health decision, from choosing to make neighbourhoods unwalkable, to giving millions of dollars to Costco instead of public parks or safe bike lanes. From providing transit with unsafe air, to buildings that don't have any solar power. #YQRcc

#Canada #TrueNorth Say, “No,” to #Poilievre and his angry, hateful, and divisive politics. #CPC #Cons #cdnpoli

#germany #eu #uk #france

The fact that it's impossible to imagine Pierre Poilievre in this position is why Carney is sitting in this seat right now.

The day after committing to consult and respect Indigenous communities, the UCP has introduced legislation that disregards and undermines Treaty Rights. This government's actions are dishonest and disrespectful. We deserve better. #abpoli #ableg youtube.com/shorts/vOuUa... @jodiabndp.bsky.social

Western separatism is based on lies, myths, and conservative anger. Smith is very much at the centre of it.

🇨🇦 PM Carney has a way with words. #CanadaStrong 🍁

A reminder that Alberta couldn't separate even if a majority of Albertans wanted to. Cheers!

Did #Poilievre just say there’ll be SOLDIERS on our neighbourhood streets!?? Sorry #Pierre, that’s NOT my idea of a #freecountry. Sounds more like an #authoritarian regime. #Cons #CPC #Conservative

...and this just in from #Saskatchewan- #PremierScottMoe will boost electric vehicle road tax across the province. In a statement, #Moe said, "Electric vehicles are emission-less, quiet, and a step closer to making our province free of coal and O&G. This must STOP!!" #SaskParty #Cons

Go Brent!

Yeah- I know it’s been done before. Yeah- I know it’s a normal part of #Canadian #politics. However- isn’t it delicious that #Poilievre has to crawl into #Alberta to get a #Federal seat. Holding hands w/ #DanielleSmith as he slithers back into the #HofC How wonderfully #slimey #CPC #Cons

@cityofregina.bsky.social The city’s best kept secret. Lovely to sit among the trees at the #LakeviewPar3 after a long bike ride. I wish the city would put some time and money into the deck area. It’s a city gem- polish it. 💎 #Regina #Saskatchewan #golf

@cityofregina.bsky.social When will you begin using this platform for city news and affairs? Please stop using the Musk platform and the Meta platforms. They’re hateful and dangerous.

#Auspol This is so simple and brilliant. 🤣 very good
