I posted in the CAJ Slack asking them about the fact that they legitimized a right-wing rag that has harassed other journalists. The CAJ did not reply. Instead, the CAJ deactivated my access to the Slack channel, despite an ongoing conversation with other members. I'm really disgusted.

It’s wild watching everyone avoid the most obvious explanation for the trip… Smith’s ego simply can’t say no to sharing a stage with the people that SHE listens to. It’s got nothing to do with Trump. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/news/politic...

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

Danielle Smith, you have some explaining to do. Your friend, Dr. Dennis Modry, is heading to Washington to discuss Alberta sovereignty, to give you more bargaining power with Ottawa. He has a petition and claims to be in touch with you. Please explain. youtu.be/05vqFMpTuEI #Ableg #cdnpoli

It's very obvious. It's very hard to admit. It's very difficult to begin doing the things that these obvious actions demand. But we can't wait. We need these days, weeks and months. We'll regret if we waste them. We need to talk about the G7, NATO, NORAD, intelligence sharing, and a whole lot more.

Smith when asked about the RCMP investigation into the corrupt care scandal... "The main dispute is about whether or not we should have alternative service providers giving services to Albertans or not" No Dani. It's about concerns of corruption. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Or that there would be a law saying accepting gifts from anyone lobbying your office is actually illegal. Oh wait. There is. And Horner is on the record saying he accepted gifts from an owner of a company his cousin was lobbying him for. Cool budget tho. #abpoli #cdnpoli

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The Trump rollercoaster is a tactic. We can do it too. "Fight randomness with randomness. Roll a die each day to see if this is the day we announce we’re turning off oil. Be nice one day, a lunatic the next. Keep Trump off balance, that’s what Trump does to us. It’s exhausting. Make him exhausted."

Last night's game made me think of the last time I was so invested in hockey (Vancouver 2010) and how much times have changed. I was at a bar in Vancouver when Crosby's shot went in. The whole place exploded. There was one table of Americans there, in jerseys. Everyone else was Team Canada. 🧵 (1/5)

www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti... I read the affidavits on the injunction yesterday. I am no lawyer, but the evidence looks pretty flimsy. I mean I also receive hateful phone calls, emails, and mean tweets, but have not hired security. And no evidence that Nate is urging that type of behaviour.

That our biggest newspaper chain is foreign owned was probably never a good idea. But as we face an erratic US president it becomes more urgent to ask: If Postmedia needed to choose between what’s good for its American owners and what’s good for Canada, what would they choose? How would we know?

In 2022, Danielle Smith rejected the idea that billionaires should have influence over government. 2 years, changes to the Conflict of Interest Act for bigger gifts, a skybox scandal and an elite guess pass to Mar A Lago later… The times, they sure have changed. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
