Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. Nothing about Europe without Europe.

"Just one more thing. You say you're the law and order president, yet you released 1,500 rioters. You claim to support the police, but many of those rioters attacked them. Now you're firing FBI agents and prosecutors. Frankly, Mrs. Columbo thinks you're a criminal."

It’s concerning that several U.S. senators treated the threat of Canada being a 51st state and our country as a joke. I appreciate Minister Joly for addressing their remarks and setting the record straight. #cdnpoli #canada apple.news/An3aTH-5sTzS...

An uneducated vote is a dangerous vote Canada. Spread the word. #nevervoteconservatives

What’s your sign

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Canadians, listen up. 🇨🇦 #BuyCanadian and #BoycottUS isn't just patriotic now, it's a matter of food safety and your family's health. #BoycottAmerica #BoycottUnitedStates #Canada #CanadaSky #TeamCanada #cdnpoli #Alberta #yyc #yeg

Looking at the news, Canada needs to stop importing American food and drugs. With the chaos erupting down there and communication blackouts regarding avian flue, tuberculosis, and other health problems, we can't assume that any American food is safe or that any American product is fit for service.

Too bad Danielle Smith and the UCP don't give a crap about Alberta's agriculture industry to fight for it against Trump's tariffs. #ableg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Everyone in LA is sharing this story on insta, and I just want to make sure non-Angelenos know about this bear that crawled under a house during the fires. He had to be lured out with rotisserie chickens. Read it. You deserve a little treat.

Two unrelated fun facts about #ableg: 1. The Recall Act allows for a recall of MLAs 18 months after the provincial election. 2. The 2023 provincial election was 19 months ago.

By now all Canadians have surely noticed how well our government functions, united and strong, when Pierre Poilievre is prorogued OUT of government. #cdnpoli #onpoli #peipoli

I.AM.CANADIAN...

Literally did a spit take as the CBC political correspondent speculated about cutting the power during the Super Bowl "so that suddenly New York and Michigan can't watch the Chiefs and the refs take on the Eagles."

Want to fuck with us? Hell hath no fury like a toque-wearing, poutine-eating, Cod-loving, puck-shooting, nature-loving, multicultural/truth-and-reconciliation-respecting, ancestor-appreciating, veteran-honouring, "eh", "about," and "sure"-saying, snowshoeing son-of-a-bitching Canadian.

Evil. "It sure looks as if Alberta’s [UCP] government is prepared to let more than 600 families whose homes were destroyed by last July’s wildfire go homeless if that’s what it takes to pursue its political vendetta against the Liberal federal government in Ottawa." thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

For those that missed it, here is the public letter from around 70 academic doctors from a variety of medical disciplines criticizing the Alberta COVID response task force report. I signed it and contributed to the letter (on research methodology). www.ualberta.ca/en/law/media...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Given Alberta's accelerating embrace of contrarian vaccine nonsense, let's highlight what body of evidence actually says about COVID vaccines: - Saved millions - < healthcare costs - < long COVID - > pregnancy outcomes - < risk of stroke - etc etc My take healthydebate.ca/2024/09/topi...

Another reminder that foreign electoral interference is far from limited to China. Russia's aims are obvious, and now we have to worry about the US and its oligarchs too.

PSA: if you kept your Instagram account and had previously been following Joe and Kamala, chances are Zuck made you follow the criminal convict and his suck up. You should check.

This is no longer a local issue. It is the Ram River drainage, the upper Athabasca, the Oldman -- it is all of our Alberta headwaters. It's all open to coal strip mining now.

A single US pro MAGA / pro Brexit / pro Reform / pro Musk / pro Russia bot account is the origin of the #TrudeauMustGo hashtag. It was amplified by disinformation networks and MAGA movement collaborators. #cdnpoli threadreaderapp.com/thread/11834...

Patrick Malkin, is the deputy chief of staff for operations in the Office of the AB Premier. He posts AI lies of Federal and Provincial people. What a dick.

Yup. Biden said they won't enforce it, that they're leaving it to Trump regardless of what the law says. This is the Chinese government disseminating pro-Trump propaganda on U.S. soil.
