No Kings Day!

"On the trail, Trump declared he would deport massive numbers of 'criminal aliens.' When he came into office, however, he faced a problem: The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are law abiding. But he came up with an answer: Create fake crimes and thereby turn the law abiding into criminals."

Do not join the United States military. Don’t join the Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Marines, or National Guard. If you are in contact with young people who are considering joining the military, counsel them not to do it. …

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

All we want is healthcare.

This week went on another lavish taxpayer-funded trip to Washington D.C. to lobby for oil & gas. Not agriculture, manufacturing or any other Alberta industry, just oil & gas because it's the only industry I care about. #abpoli #ableg #UCPCorruption

This is the only explanation that makes any sense.

The hound and I crossed the rainbow bridge in Edgemont on our walk this evening.

The case for proportional representation is undeniable. CTV reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it. @mark-carney.bsky.social, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts? #cdnpoli

By this Pam calculation, one pill has to kill more than five people. Math is hard.

Lots of talk about strategic voting in Calgary Confederation. Your vote is your vote, and there's no such thing as a wasted vote. But this is a close race between myself and Jeremy Nixon. Working together, we can get a different kind of representation for Calgary Confederation.

The Conservative platform is out and it reads like they forgot they needed one until 11pm last night. Surprising how much less substantive it is than previous CPC platforms, and it sure doesn't math. Serious times call for serious leaders and serious plans.

"That was a huge red flag," said Berulis. "That's something that you just don't do. It violates every core concept of security and best practice." read this incredibly disturbing account of DOGE data theft www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Hope all the rubes see this. #abpoli

Big sky, small dog (version 3).

AAAAHHHHHHHH

Can’t believe I blagged an exclusive interview with Katy Perry!

Mark Carney was in Calgary last week talking about making Canada an energy superpower - in renewables and conventional sources. I want to be a strong Alberta voice at the table helping us meet this goal.

Dear Bill Maher, Trump was "willing to listen?" Did you tell him to follow the law? Did you tell him to fund education? Protect free speech? Leave Greenland alone? Protect Social Security and Medicaid? Did you tell him to stop being a dictator? What a relief. I'm sure he'll get right on it

Bill Maher is just another privileged rich guy. This will always underpin his opinions. Might have to “review the tape” but I don’t recall his “book report” last night touching on the damage to small business owners, retirees, public servants, etc. caused by current US gov’t policies. #outoftouch

Bill Maher is the Marco Rubio of comedy.

The dream is dead

Unfortunately, it’s very believable with this government.

This election, we have a choice between sound policies and sound bites.

Look someone produced a list of Alberta MLA Quislings! How handy! Weird they are all UCP, none are NDP Contact numbers also there, so you can tell them what you think. It woudl also be a good list to consult, come election time. Source: albertarepublicans.com/actionhub/ml...

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

This is Putin’s favorite hockey player, Alexander Ovechkin. He supports the invasion and plays for the Washington Capitals. Ten of fifteen Russian athletes at the 2024 Olympics under a neutral flag backed the war or had military ties. Is sport really above politics?

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

A comprehensive video of the #CorruptCare scandal, that needs to be widely shared. Something is truly rotten in AB with all that it entails, IMO. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #ablaw #AuditorGenAB #JudgeWyant #NeverUCP #IbelieveATHANA

Alex Trebek couldn’t have said it better.

😆

Smith’s moral compass was broken long ago. She is only concerned about her own interests and those of her cronies. It’s truly sad and frustrating that half the population in this province accept this as leadership.

Here’s what the White House said the tariffs rates are and what they really are. Kind of funny. Courtesy of the Cato institute.

This is what you call two different readouts of the same meeting. Go Denmark, Go Greenland!

Our open letter response to the #USCommerceDept and #POTUS

It’s difficult to find graphing paper here, but our data indicates that the US Tariff on our island is causing their stock market to be shaped just like our biggest cliff. Impeccable
