In this episode of my podcast, I’m breaking down why Alberta’s so-called "Compassionate Intervention Centres" are nothing more than jails for people struggling with addiction. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m2L...

Every time someone says the midterms will save America, I always say, I do not presume free elections. These idiot vandals are taking an axe to how government works, often illegally, at every level, in order to benefit themselves. Why would they stop at rigging elections?

@marenmorris.bsky.social ‘Better than We Found It’. On repeat today for absolutely no reason at all… “But who's gonna care if I don't? Who's gonna change if I won't?… When lines of tomorrow are drawn Can I live with the side that I chose to be on?”

Does America have any idea what people around the world are thinking of it tonight? Where are the protests? Where is the opposition? Heartbreaking to see a nation's moral collapse like this.

It can be scary to put your thoughts out there on social media or to speak about what’s going on right now. Trolls are real & personal attacks are not fun. But you know what would be even less fun? Giving up our 🇨🇦, our resources,leaving behind our values and our people. That? That would be hell.

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

Fact checking a Reddit post: it appears that Google Maps has indeed begun to call provincial parks, state parks. Comparatively, Apple Maps continues to call it a provincial park.

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social Kevin O’Leary is NOT a Canadian in any real way. He doesn’t live here!! He doesn’t have any govt role here. He’s not a political expert. He’s a TV personality! Why invite him on?? Why does his opinion matter?

Canadian MD here. We should all be terrified by the health consequences of the United States’ anti-science, anti-vaccine, disinformation-peddling politicians. Americans won’t get the care they need. And we are going to see Canadians consume disinformation from the USA, with serious consequences.

RFK Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, Russell Vought, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Elon Musk … just an unimaginable horror show. Cranks and drunks, fanatics and lunatics, traitors and idiots, megalomaniacs and liars. Again: we need to keep expanding our imaginations as to how bad this could get.

One of the things I was talking about with friends this week was why don’t we really have a protest culture here in Alberta? Could we ever get thousands of people in the streets? Are we too individualistic? Too busy? Too cold? I’ve been to plenty but they’ve been relatively small. Discuss.

“The greatest of these sins is convincing ourselves that posting is a form of political activism, when it is at best a coping mechanism—an individualist solution to problems that can only be solved by collective action.” By all means cope, but talk to friends/family/neighbours, volunteer, protest.

I’m so sick of DEI opponents saying “I believe in meritocracy.” DEI exists 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 the status quo was never purely merit-based—it favored certain groups due to systemic barriers. DEI helps ensure talent, not privilege, determines outcomes. ⚖️

Absolutely the most disgusting press conference I’ve heard in my 58 years. Palestinian people, I see you, I’m sorry, this is horrific. Absolutely horrific. Ethnic cleansing and genocide to steal their land. I have no words it’s disgusting.
