Jesus and I got to talk to the brilliant comedian Riki Lindhome about ‘The Loophole’ and her new musical. She was delightful! I know this post won't get very many likes, because it's a link to our little podcast episode. But what is God gonna do, not post the episodes? Fuck me, right?

"Alberta's Fantasy Separatist Movement Promises a Trumpian Future"... via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202... #CdnPoli #AbPoli #Ableg

“I feel oddly collegial toward the Alberta Prosperity Project’s authors. They’re doing what I used to do as a speculative fiction writer: portray a dysfunctional society, some of whose members are determined to turn it into something better.”

He Was The Maestro Of The Mayhem

~Thomas beat the separatists to it!! He has filed a Referendum Application at Elections Alberta re Alberta separating from Canada. "Do you agree that Alberta must remain within Canada and any form of separation must be rejected?"

Alberta does NOT sent $$ to Ottawa. Provincial govts. make NO contributions to #Equalization. We are all subject to the same federal income tax system regardless of where we live. The program is financed by the GofC from general revenues largely through federal taxes. #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

The treaties between First Nations and Canada were signed 30 years before Alberta was even thought of. The troll machine trying to break up our country are being treated in the media as legitimate grievance. They are not. They are malignant MAGA. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Wait someone was seriously complaining that it's not okay for a Maōri dance to be performed by Maōri representatives in a legislature that purports to govern Maōri people? I mean...I guess that is an opinion you can have, but gee

Canadian households got their last Carbon Tax rebate today. We got $399 for the 1st quarter of 2025 before the 'tax' was axed (it was a levy, not a tax)...

“I would ask for the slander and innuendo to stop” Danielle Smith, May 13, responding to questions about Railgate - it’s not slander if it’s true - it’s not innuendo if there’s evidence - it’s not going to stop On whose behalf is the Premier’s spouse attending secret government meetings? #abpoli

I know there’s a lot going on tonight (Go Oilers), but just as the game starts, the UCP will start ramming through two very troubling bills and will end all further debate. Among other things, Bill 54 includes a series of awful undemocratic election reforms and Bill 55 allows for private hospitals.

Someday Trump and MAGA will be gone, but we will always have footage of these clowns humiliating themselves every day to make him happy.

~Anybody had any of these unwelcome visitors?

Trump says he will impose price controls to bring down pharmaceutical prices. This is the same thing he called “communist” on the campaign trail. The U.S. president can’t set market prices.

67 years ago Canada agreed to let the USA put NORAD bases in Canada to detect missiles aimed at US cities. Big men, strong men, with tears in their eyes come to me and say it's unfair. Canada has been supporting the USA for too long. We need beautiful tariffs on those US military bases.

Some thoughts on that shocking 36% of Albertans we’re told by a pollster would like the province to separate from Canada. albertapolitics.ca/2025/05/some...

I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous. But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...
