bsky.app/profile/mjpa.... Bonnie Critchley is running against #PukeyPolLIEvere in Alberta. She's an Independent without the full backing of CON-SERVE-atives. She has more information on her Facebook page. @dbmalloy.bsky.social are giving her our boost. #Dump_PukeyPP

This is good advertising. And it's correct: she can vote for or against legislation as she sees fit. It's difficult to find the $ to run as an independent. Pierre isn't from there but has all the party support + the former MP helping him. How is that right for that riding? Give her a boost, AB.

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.

I love and respect her so much. So elegant, eloquent, brilliant, beautiful.

#Alberta babies have been born with #measles due to outbreaks, worrying doctors In each case the mother was unimmunized, the province says www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Conservatives proclaimed that the Liberals “broke the relationship with the United States.” It wasn’t the election of an unstable autocrat. Or perhaps they feel that the Liberals should have just capitulated? Honest to Zeus… #QP

hahaha

BREAKING: SpaceX Starship explodes during static fire test

My opinion: DJT didn’t want to sign anything on Ukraine, didn’t want to meet Zelenskyy, didn’t want to meet Sheinbaum, or anyone (he prefers when they fly to him), “escalated” the situation with Iran via tweet, media’s attention added to the hype and he calmly returned to his favorite schedule.

BUH WHY COME TOURISM IS DOWN?

We may make the squeaking our ringtone

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Oh, Regina city council ....

Jordan Peterson, faux intellectual, gets totally *owned* by this kid. I've watched it about 10 times. The "I am, aren't I?" slays me every time! The funniest part? Jubilee changed the OG vid title from "20 atheists vs. a Christian" to "...vs. JP." Enjoy!

I think it’s cute that Pip and Andy dip into each other’s closets. It’s so “besties”.

Yeah there's two sides here ... lol, NYT pitchbot gets it every time.

I mean they also blamed the very same woman after Harp lost in 2015! But Harp was never her sweet baboo like Pierre was so let's see what happens. I'm no fan of Jenny Byrne. But I enjoy watching the Cons twist themselves up like pretzels to refuse any self-blame for the loss. Blame Jenni!

Let's see what PIerre knows about loyalty. Let's watch the entire Conservative cabal blame the hired woman and coddle the hate-spewing Pierre. Honestly, sometimes it's what happens after an election that tells the tale the best.

BREAKING NEWS: Former PC Premier Heather Stefanson and two Tory cabinet ministers broke conflict of interest laws by promoting Sio Silica mine proposal after losing election and could face fines of up to $18,000. #mbpoli #cdnpoli #wpgpoli

Kelowna, B.C., has the most RCMP officers in Canada — but it's thinking of ditching the force www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

New Liberal gov in NB is doing really interesting, helpful things. So is NDP gov in MB. How can we get some of that out west? Oh, stop voting in grifters, you say?
