Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

Read this👇 Premier is deflecting, and honestly her comments and excuses are nonsensical. The leaders of "AHS" have been handpicked by the Premier and her closest staff since she's taken over Heads have rolled Boogeyman "AHS" of election days is dead 1/3 https://buff.ly/3QzoBeF

Hey Alberta municipalities! This is for you. Free money to make your communities safer. mccac.ca/2025/02/19/n...

How many DOGE staffers is it going to take to read 3 million emails explaining what each US federal employee did last week?

ISD has uncovered a network of at least 48 X accounts and 6,000 bots disseminating false claims through videos about the upcoming German elections. Interestingly, the videos that have been posted aren’t in German, suggesting an intent to reach a non-German audience. Our findings below.

SCOOP: Sam Mraiche, owner of the firm that imported meds from Turkey, is a part owner in two private surgical facilities that last year were negotiating deals with inflated rates compared to competitor, according to documents www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w/ @alannasmith.bsky.social

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Albertans are slowly waking up to the depths of the scandal enveloping the UCP government. A lot of folks are wondering how to explain what's going on to people who haven't been tuning in. Here's the what, so what now what, and what's next of the situation. 🧵

The Mentzelopoulos lawsuit says Danielle Smith used private detectives etc to try to catch online critic and informed leaker Hansard the Cat. I was told, unconfirmed, the Edmonton Police Service's Organizational Security Unit was involved. Here's a FOIP I filed in October and the EPS response. 1

Amidst growing concerns the UCP Govt is not aware of critical elements of critical files... Schulz was asked today about the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation refusing to attend a 30 minute zoom meeting as it's insufficient & disrespectful Her reply? "I was not aware of that" #abpoli

Appointing an oil executive as new CEO of the Alberta Energy Regulator shatters any hope for a fair and effective oversight of the industry - www.keepersofthewater.ca/news/treaty-... #ABLeg #ABPoli

Outsourcing human brain functions to computers makes human brains work less good, scientists discover

Great point.

As the Trump administration and Elon Musk work to dismantle USAID, the government’s lead agency for delivering humanitarian aid for generations, right-wing influencers have flooded the internet with falsehoods about its work, promoting unfounded claims and conspiratorial thinking. nyti.ms/4htWHN0

Huh, wonder what would’ve happened if the New York Times countered every false claim over the past few years…

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

All of the Republicans who for years railed about "unelected bureaucrats" destroying the government are awfully quiet as an unelected bureaucrat destroys the government.

I was reflecting on recent economic issues in Alberta and couldn't help but notice some policy changes put in place or announced recently by the #UCP that directly target low-income households. These include: (🧵):

Probably the most important thing a Canadian could read today. We’re about to be taken advantage of in multiple ways. Eyes open.

I only note this for the irony, not because I think it matters, but air traffic controllers are 75% white and 84% male. www.faa.gov/about/office...

Here is the @bankofcanada.bsky.social 's analysis of a the impact of a scenario with a 25% across the board US tariff, matched with a 25% retaliatory tariff by Canada. About 2.5% off real GDP in year 1; 1.5% off in year two, and adjusted by year 3. www.bankofcanada.ca/publications...

Looks like this is happening. This great perfidy from our longstanding and close ally and friend is immensely saddening and maddening. But it also makes me resolute to defend our country. We should and must retaliate. A thread about what I'll be looking for in our retaliation measures....
