“A startling statistic emerged in Paris last month: during the morning and evening rush hours, on representative main thoroughfares crisscrossing the French capital, there are now more bicycles than cars – almost half as many again, in fact.” And it has kept growing from there. Leadership. #Paris

Sam Mraiche’s sister purchases a brand new, fully landscaped, $1.6 million, 5 bedroom house in a premier area of #yeg. The Premier’s COS & 2 gov’t staffers immediately move into this mansion. Taxpayers cover their “rent” #ableg www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Danielle Smith’s ‘New North American Initiative’ sounds a lot like War Room 3.0. albertapolitics.ca/2025/05/dani...

People are being killed due to a completely unnecessary aesthetic design decision. There is enough excess space in the engine compartment of many of these large trucks for an adult to stand up. Watch "Grilles That Kill" from #FortNine: youtu.be/YpuX-5E7xoU?...

When the dust settles from Danielle Smith’s cabinet shuffle, 60% of her caucus will be ministers! albertapolitics.ca/2025/05/when...

The treaties between First Nations and Canada were signed 30 years before Alberta was even thought of. The troll machine trying to break up our country are being treated in the media as legitimate grievance. They are not. They are malignant MAGA. substack.com/home/post/p-...

In an effort to streamline the healthcare system, Alberta now has three health ministers and split its health service into four silos. calgaryherald.com/news/complet...

AB premier is "out of touch" with Albertans. Smith is mired in corruption and doing her best with smoke and mirrors to distract and disrupt. She needs to go sooner - not later. Thanks @janisirwin.bsky.social for speaking up for ALL Albertans. Another #UCPFail

What's next in for-profit care in Alberta? Your local hospital? by Braden Manns, @jmeddings.bsky.social, Paul Parks edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu... via @edmontonjournal.com @jvipondmd.bsky.social

More of this. These anti-Constitution MAGA hooligans need to be called out for their lawlessness in very direct terms.

Something something Trudeau killing the oil & gas industry...

BS 🤬 Blatant propaganda from the Conservatives — trying to push the perception of ‘cheating’. In our elections, every single vote is shown and read out loud. Call it out!! #Canada CPC fundraising email suggests Liberals trying to 'tip the scales' in recounts www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Wow is this how I found out I didn't get the job? A fucking chimney?

Today in Alberta: Members of the Alberta Teachers’ Association vote to reject a mediator’s recommendations for a new provincial contract. A majority of the 36,000 votes cast, nearly 62 per cent, oppose the proposed terms. Stay informed albertaviews.ca/may5-9/ #abpoli @albertateachers.bsky.social

Danielle Smith tries in ‘Alberta Next’ video address to bluff her way out of a bad hand she dealt herself. albertapolitics.ca/2025/05/dani...

Never forget, we were manipulated into hating carbon pricing here in Canada.

There's been plenty of attention on the southern stretch of Alberta's eastern slopes when it comes to coal mining. But north of there, near Jasper, a thermal coal mine is asking the energy regulator to approve a massive expansion. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-vist... #ableg #cdnpoli

"Petrostates try to hide, and ultimately obscure the truth when it conflicts with the message they have decided they want people to hear. In the case of Alberta, the preferred message is that oil and gas, not clean, inexpensive renewable energy, will provide Alberta with continued prosperity."

Since we now have a CMOH who is interacting with public probably no need for me to be talking about measles anymore, but HOLY COW! 27 new per day. (last week Friday was 17/day) We in trouble, AB. Exponetial growth ain't fun. Source: www.alberta.ca/measles

Racism, misogyny, antisemitism, Islamophobia and hate speech etc can no longer be considered as acceptable free speech. People worry about a "slippery slope". We have been sliding down a dangerous slope for a long time. What we see in the USA and the conservatives in Canada is proof of that.

I loved Helsinki and I think about going back all the time. The most effortless public transportation ever. I bought my pass at 7/11 and could travel anywhere for the whole length of my stay there.

No lies detected.

"If you or any other Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere." Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation issues a scathing rebuke of Danielle Smith's talks on a national unity crisis.

Danielle Smith has one card to play: picking fights for the sake of fighting. If she doesn’t make an enemy out of the federal government, she’s left with no one to blame but herself. Albertans are proud to be Canadians. We know better than to play games when our nation’s sovereignty is threatened.

I'm sure by now you've seen the viral clip of Pierre Poilievre dismissively answering questions from a journalist and eating an apple. In light of recent election results, I reached out to the journalist in that clip to get his thoughts. pressprogress.ca/journalist-i...

Danielle Smith is a separatist. She wants Alberta to leave Canada. She won’t stand up for our country because she doesn’t believe in what it means to be Canadian. /🧵⬇️ Stand up to her separatist agenda: separatistsmith.ca

When the Alberta Energy Regulator asked an Australian coal prospector to improve selenium monitoring and uphold the law at a proposed mining site, the firm’s CEO not only refused but threatened to sue individual members of the agency. Andrew Nikiforuk reports.

So the small town had this lottery where they all pick slips out of this box and then whoever gets the marked slip is stoned to death by all the other townsfolk, and I just really think that Airbnb owes me a refund.

Jamil Jivani bringing out a flamethrower for Doug Ford is, more than anything, exactly how the federal Conservatives do business. Total warfare, screw you, kill your enemies. Pierre leads the charge, but it defines the party.

At the core of White/Christian Nationalism is the inability to accept that people are different from you, and that they deserve equal status to you.

PREACH!

All of us need to consider why we use social media. Does it really help us to connect? Is it a source of credible information. Social media was wonderful when it started but bad actors have ruined it for their own gain. I have given up on social media with exception of Bluesky.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

I'm writing two different post-election videos for Poilievre's Personal Assistant because they need to be ready to go immediately, and it's taking all my professional willpower to not just have the "he loses" script be *Mandy eats an apple staring into camera for four minutes straight*

Sure the chicken will kill you but at least you won’t have to read about Black airmen!

Oh so now the very people who are claiming to uphold the legacy of Western civilization, the light of the world, are coming for its classic art. Too many boobies in the classical European sculptures they told us were the peak of art in their culture that needs to dominate.
