I applaud @josieosborne.bsky.social for doing this. #bcpoli

Woman awarded almost $1M from ex-boss for sexual assault says she's received nothing (Langford)

One of the greatest foreign affairs minister we've ever had is right. Parliament is in appeasement mode. #cdnpoli

Despite a nationwide outcry, Senate Republicans are barreling ahead with Senator Lee's deranged proposal to sell our shared public lands to the highest bidder. (1/2)

Almost like Marlaina is lying. #ableg

The fact that the UCP have a $8.3B surplus and have the lowest per student spending in Canada, have purposely broken our healthcare system, and are taking $200/month away from people living with a disability tells you everything you need to know about their “values”. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Having a surplus and cutting funding to things thry hate won't be popular with the public. So, you lie and say Alberta's broke. #ableg

Sad it took a hospital in a major centre dealing with closures to get change rolling. Lillooet's ER has been closed at night a lot but no one cares. #bcpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

How dare the UCP tell parents how to raise their own kids! Parents should decide how kids are taught and raised and...hold on a second here.... #ableg

BREAKING! 🚨 Egale Canada and Skipping Stone have just won an injunction against the UCP’s egregious Bill 26. The UCP can now do the right thing and rescind their anti-trans legislation, and respect human rights. They can start focusing on the real issues that Albertans care about.

Appeasement always works with dictators, right???

All Carney has done so far is try to appease him and look where we are. I'm sure Trump will stop with Czechoslovakia and not take Poland, right? #cndpoli

NEW - North Vancouver RCMP is investigating after an explosive device went off beside MLA Bowinn Ma’s office in North Vancouver-Lonsdale. NDP MLAs have been told to close their constituency offices today. #bcpoli

What the hell? This is 100% an act of terrorism. #bcpoli

I’ve gotten used to seeing AB push polls but Alberta Next “consultation” is outrageous. Just did the immigration one. From the very first sentence being a lie (no, we don’t have an open border policy) to options all having nudges, a dumpster fire in survey design top to bottom.

From Angus Reid

Points to Carney. #cdnpoli

CPC supporters really hate Canada.

This is sad and scary. Good on Australia for trying to help Tuvalu out a bit.

The UCP are a threat to Canadian sovereignty. #ableg

A long-standing local restaurant has closed b/c Basecamp is redeveloping the land as a hotel, most likely a high-end one. #Banff & #Canmore are losing their charm to corporations. A great representation of how lame our world is becoming. www.rmoutlook.com/canmore/beyo...

1% jumps to 2%, politician states "100% increase in people wanting this thing." Fuck off. #ableg

Amazing how a company who royally messed up before is given a green light to do it again.

As Mark Twain said, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” When it comes to #GHG emissions, Alberta’s UCP government selectively uses statistics to persuade the world of the ludicrous claim that Alberta is a climate change leader, writes @ianurquhart.bsky.social.

The US Ambassador should be called to Parliament to answer to this. #cdnpoli

Over worked, attacked while at work, and now a potential rollback of benefits. Holy crap...these nurses are 100% in the right if they strike. #bcpoli

And people wonder why some women are too afraid to leave an abusive relationship

Research reveals nearly 6,000 hectares of proposed & approved logging in the habitat of three endangered southern mountain caribou herds in B.C. Protecting old growth means protecting caribou.

This is absolutely depressing. #bcpoli

But hey, let's burn more oil

The CFL is dying 😢

58 million acres.

For the people who insisted for years that MDs and experts were simply shilling for the establishment, now that RFK and his coterie of conspiratorial dumb fucks are the establishment, and doctors and experts are refusing to go along with them, does that make you questions your previous assertions?

I'm sure I'll get some heat for this, but as a local president, how does statements like this relate to negotiating collective bargaining agreements with the govt? During Union Training, I was taught to remain neutral with politics in order to not alienate members. #canlan

First BC Hydro bill after our solar panels are up and running: $15 Last year, for this two month period we paid $330.

Danielle Smith‬⁩ has always had an awkward relationship with the truth and with facts, but completely not understanding the law she just passed few weeks ago, that’s another record for incompetence or deceit. #ableg

The feds have failed at immigration. Sad. #cdnpoli

Holy fuck. That's such a stark and important number to get out there: your baby is 44 per cent more likely to survive to see their first birthday if they receive all the recommended childhood vaccines on time.
