Non-Albertan fellow progressives: if you are here for more than just the hot takes, before you share headlines or comment on what “Albertans” supposedly want, PLEASE take the time to listen to experts like @jaredwesley.ca. We are not an ultra-conservative separatist monolithic mob. #cdnpoli

#booksky Any other women out there in Booksky land read “Invisible Women” by Caroline Criado Perez and find it problematic? I am trying to get through it but find myself really torn about it on a couple of fronts.🧵

This is the worst kept secret in Alberta politics. And it is yet another reason a public inquiry is required. This goes well beyond the technicalities of government procurement. The bigger questions surround political interference, patronage, and corruption.

Now it is up to progressives to hold @mark-carney.bsky.social's feet to the fire. We may have voted but that isn't enough to keep politicians accountable.

Poilievre losing his seat is almost Shakespearean: Pretender to the throne riles countrymen with anger, gets defeated by guy with Joy in his name. It’s basically Macbeth.

Remember this "gender critical" artist who set out to do 100 portraits of "detransitioned women" 3 years ago and was determined to finish in 2025? She's done ONE portrait this year, which comes almost a year after she produced the last one. This is what happens when GC people sniff their own farts.

This viral photo of a ‘Liberal Boomer’ is missing context. He was being harassed by far-right activists. A Liberal supporter is now facing doxxing and intense online harassment after an aggressive group of far-right activists crashed a Mark Carney event

“An analysis of 350,000 Twitter posts reveals a coordinated campaign to support Pierre Poilievre and attack Mark Carney’s reputation. This election isn’t about choosing a prime minister, or resisting Trump — it’s about fighting for democracy itself.” An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

This is a good shift, but he should go much further and have the government build its own data centres to serve its needs.

It’s long past time these platforms were reined in. They’re knowingly creating informative environments that facilitate the spread of conspiracy theories and false information that intentional warp people’s understanding of reality and the world around them.

Urge your MLA to support Bill 210. Even conservative provinces like Saskatchewan have similar laws! It just makes sense to support Alberta workers. ✊ #ableg
