Government house leader Joseph Schow will be holding a media conference at 2 p.m. Monday afternoon to beg Albertans for any idea to make the province better. #AbLeg

I'm afraid that even though I'm afraid of many things, I'm not afraid of the things that I should actually be afraid of.

🇺🇦🇨🇦Canada will transfer a part of Russia’s frozen assets worth 5 billion CAD, including 25 LAVIII infantry fighting vehicles, 4 F-16 flight simulators, artillery shells, and more, in the coming months. - Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada ♥️THANK YOU CANADA

Listen, you Factinistas, Big Danielle didn't lie when she said that Private Health Care is cheaper, she just rounded up to the nearest falsehood. #AbLeg

Here’s how to fix this. Just call the show “why are Canadians so pissed off at us, at NPR, at NYT, and anyone else who thinks it’s a fun thought experiment to annex our country?” Then let Canadians call in and tell you why they’re mad. And make the Americans listen. Don’t ever say “51st state.”

Maybe it's because I'm a survivor of domestic violence or maybe it's because I've spent my entire career working with other survivors but if you think Canadians going on the radio & begging Americans to see our humanity & not annex us is going to be effective, then I have a bridge I can sell you.

Fascism is coming: SHHHHHH don't talk about it. Keep it a secret, if we ignore it, maybe it will go away. /heavy sarcasm.

Maybe I should do a call-in stream where audience members get to weigh in on whether or not Ian hanomansing has to give me his house

There shouldn’t even be a discussion! What’s to discuss? What other possible feeling should Canadians have but disgust and anger towards attack on our sovereignty? Why give it any air time? This is playing right into Trump’s hand and CBC should be ashamed to have even considered this.

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK, CBC??? www.c-span.org/event/intern...

We are all in so much trouble. So so very much trouble. Stop minimizing it. Stop acting like those of us who can see how bad it REALLY IS are overreacting. It is just as bad as we thought it would be, & worse. And we are all in trouble. Global destabilization.

Price comparisons of surgeries done at private facilities vs AHS costs, courtesy of the new documents obtained by the Globe and Mail. Given what has been going on within the public health care system, especially the ongoing closures in rural Alberta, this data is horrifying.

Oh Canada 🇨🇦

“When you hear something that scares you, always interrogate whether the person saying it has something to gain by instilling fear.” Darn right.

Thank goodness the weather is warming up! It's been so cold that, to stay warm, Valleyview has had to burn books that DON'T mention gay people. www.cbc.ca/newsinteract... #AbLeg

A guy and his dog. #DailyChester

Approaching Bluesky differently than X. I’m simply not going to argue or take the bait. Even if you’re wrong. And being deliberately obnoxious. And you are.

This dog is too long for our current rating system to handle. We are working internally to address this problem, but in the meantime please only send regular-length dogs. Thank you… 13/10

What I find so disturbing with the @thebreakdownab.bsky.social situation is the information which they provided was backed up with documents obtained quite legally. So who’s freedom? #Alberta Keep this subject from and centre.

Grannies of the world, UNITE! A Go Fund Me is available at www.gofundme.com/f/vggge-lega... For those who can, please support it. #NeverSmith #AHS #NeverLagrange #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead #NeverUCP #ABlaw www.tiktok.com/@lisab0923/v...

Alberta needs anti-SLAPP legislation so badly

While @thebreakdownab.bsky.social has been silenced temporarily, I'm still letting 'er rip.. I've been harassed, targeted and everything else already.. DM's are always open for HCW's and others.. United we stand.

Wishing a Happy 96th Birthday to the wonderful Dame Patricia Routledge known for her many comedic characters - perhaps the best known being Hyacinth Bouquet (spelled B-U-C-K-E-T….no, it IS “Bouquet”)

FYI 👇🗣️📢 The why behind #TeamCanada🍁 #TheBreakdownAB design www.abpoli.ca/category/the... has always been home for The Breakdown AB Merch 2. We 100% support savethebreakdownab.ca But realize one of the main purposes of SLAPP is to make Nate & #keeptheconversationgoing out of sight out of mind.

By “repercussions” I mean, anyone who speaks highlights the massive amounts of corruption my UCP government has been doing, like @TheBreakdownAB.bsky.social will be silenced! The UCP will not tolerate people exposing our fraudulent activities! #abpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/daniell...

#Ableg This is Nate Pike. He’s a father He’s a paramedic. He’s an Albertan. Danielle Smith is trying to silence him. Sam Mriache is trying to ban him. This is messed up. I’m angry. I’m pissed off. I’m enraged. F*ck the UCP You can’t silence all of us. #Abpoli

Family Day Weekend! Weather is awful but the company is grand. #DailyChester

This absolutely amazing drawing of Kuno was done by this incredibly gifted artist, Raine. Since I first saw her work, I was a big fan. I'm so honored to have this wonderful drawing of Kuno. I won't lie,a few tears were shed, but they were the good kind.

My X account was suspended. I’m told it was for “impersonating another account” (I used the X logo as a temporary bio photo). I’m sure it had nothing to do with posting that the entire Trump administration was working for Putin. 🙄

“But if we can invade Canada they can fix our democracy” is a take so brain-meltingly asinine that it should immediately disqualify you from having anyone listen to your analysis on any topic for the rest of time.

Facts just don’t fucking matter anymore

You can do it. I’m staring at you supportively because I believe in you

"She says she was also previously pressured by Deputy Minister of Health Andre Tremblay, via text message, to terminate “purported critics of the government, including Carmelle Steinke, Jeremy Theal and Sherri Kashuba.” " Think about these allegations... 1/3

More on the Alberta health care scandal. New from CTV News who obtained the suit. Much worse than originally reported. According to the Mentzelopoulos lawsuit, she was told to fire critics of the government. Allegedly, the government was also trying to identify online critics.

Outstanding work by Markusoff & Wong of CBC here. Best “what is the AHS scandal?” primer, taken right from the fired AHS CEO’s filed Statement of Claim. Great read. Highly recommend. #ableg www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7457785

❄️ Wondering how #EVs handle winter? They have some key advantages: ✅ Cabin warms up fast – no idling ✅ Reliable starts, even at –40°C ✅ Stable on snowy roads #MovingToElectric breaks down what you need to know about EVs in cold weather. 👇

It really sucks to live in Alberta right now. We have to battle the US in this trade war, worry and prepare for an invasion, while at the same time battle our provincial gov't about damn near everything. It is exhausting.

Some people think Rottweilers are scary looking. Seriously, Do I look scary?

My God everything is so fucked up

#Ableg I miss the days when Alberta’s biggest scandal was Jason Kenney having drinks on the Sky Palace, breaking COVID rules. Danielle Smith’s flying to Panama to avoid her $614,000,000 skybox scandal is corruption on a scale I never thought I’d see in my lifetime I was wrong. #Abpoli
