Shooting a bunch of little kids in a classroom isn’t terrorism but telling the ruling class you won’t take it anymore is? www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

NDP House Leader Peter Julian 🇨🇦 "Under Harper, the Conservatives denied 20,000 veterans’ funeral and burial applications, cut services, and disrespected our veterans. We can never trust them again to run Veterans Affairs or act in the public’s interest. Period." #cdnpoli #peipoli

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

Fascinating paper. "In eight of the twelve cases under study, inequality was trending downward in the years before the elections that brought to power leaders who moved against democracy."

Carbon tax had 'negligible' impact on inflation, new study says #cdnpoli #CarbonPricing #Canada University of Calgary professors find that prices are only 0.5% higher due to carbon tax and other measures www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

this thread is utterly devastating

~More good news from the Trudeau government! An act to establish a national eye care strategy has become law.

If you agree, let’s be friends! 💙

JFC! Now we're hunting cougars with dogs in provincial parks? Just when we think we have heard everything from this government, we get another "hold my beer" moment.

Brought watercolours to work to doodle with. I norm doodle with a pencil in my notebook—bcs ADHD brain thinks better when hands are busy. But I’ve been really into watercolour, so I got myself the stuff to do it on the go.

Do you want change in Alberta? No, I mean DO YOU REALLY WANT CHANGE? What if you could make a real difference by volunteering an hour or two a week? YOU CAN❗️ ABResistance.ca has a great board, dedicated Albertans who have families, full time jobs, & still step up! They can’t do it alone!

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.

~Well, that was more wasted money, eh Danielle? How much did you spend on that "Alberta is calling" advertising?" Now YYC and YEG have the highest unemployment in the country. There's a shortage of housing and our schools and healthcare are suffering. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

bots are becoming a bigger thing on this platform now. not as bad as twitter, but it’s a shame that no matter what, we’re forced into experiencing the internet technological rot that infests online spaces now

TODAY’S UNREQUESTED ADVICE …is it good advice? did you like it? Give it a 💙and please RP😘😘

When you spent billions and destroyed your brand to recreate 1930's Germany and got 1780's France instead.

this only suggests to me that everyone needs to keep being meaner to those in power. the wealthy elite need to be scared

Trans kids in Alberta are terrified on Tiktok, their parents are hysterical Danielle Smith did this, how are we letting this bigotry take hold? And why is she picking on the most vulnerable kids?

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

This is the energy we will need!!

At this point all Abortion bans have done is kill mothers. I know it's deeper than that but forcing people to not get a medical procedure should be used on Plastic Surgery abuse more than a D and C. Isn't Murder deliberately causing someone death? www.propublica.org/article/geor...

People should always prioritize their mental health and personal life above anything else. Everyone needs to care for themselves before caring for others ❤️🙏🏾

Many people are one paycheque away from losing everything. Believe you can't get disabled? Believe you can't lose your job? Believe the Alberta government will be there you? 👇

We can’t just keep shrugging 🤷🏼‍♀️ and saying « well Alberta is crazy » Alberta is a testing ground and Danielle Smith is following the GOP playbook to the letter and is now taking healthcare decisions away from parents which will take them away from women. Where is our feminist Federal gov? #cdnpoli

Yves-Francois Blanchet reflects on the tone of the meeting with the PM. “If the tone that’s used in an encounter of this type could be transposed into Parliament, people would trust us & would take us seriously.” The discussion was even be said to be “rational” and “constructive.” #cdnpoli #peipoli

Vaccines save lives. Millions of 'em.

Seriously? https://buff.ly/41ioWcl

Ran into what I assume was one of the far right people in the bathroom line who said “I thought the men’s bathroom was on the other side” at SCOTUS. Thankfully the rest of the line were people who knew me and my reporting and I didn’t even dignify it with a response.

Meanwhile: No tax cuts for us Hallway medicine Kids stacked in our classrooms Starving our municipalities of funds Insurance rates up 15% in the next 2 years Wastage of taxpayer money on a scale unseen before What will the next 2 years look like?

Reporting from the Supreme Court on transgender rights in the Skrimetti case and I feel the weight of the moment. I will report from the court throughout the day when I am allowed my phone. Thank you all for putting me in a place where I can do this work for you.

Allow me to distract you from our headlong plunge into dystopia with the mighty CYBOR TRUCK
