“I knew that you had that troll base and I knew that we would get some sort of reaction, but I really did not realize the extent of the volume of that push back that we had.” As women journalists are relentlessly and disproportionately harassed, it’s fair to ask where are you going with this CTV?

“The economies of our nations are centered in – and flow through – our cities. When we’re talking about tariffs and their impact, it’s going to hit jobs and paychecks in our cities.” - Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsga...

Sage advice from Carlo Dade, who is speaking on a panel on tariffs to the Alberta Municipalities spring leaders' "Stop paying attention to the goddamn tweets." Says it's important to look at the hard signals, rather than what Trump (or surrogates) say

If you want politicians to do more good things, reward them for doing them. Don't just send the angry notes. If you like what you're seeing from someone in public office, especially someone you wouldn't normally support, reach out and let them know.

Because the purpose of tariffs was never about the Canada-US border, but about destroying the Canadian economy so Trump could try and annex it.

Canada needs a team of menopausal women to fight Trump. Hear me out: 🫥 We are invisible to men under 60 = our combat wing would be unstoppable. 🙄 We have spent lifetimes being lectured at by mediocre white/orange men = zero fucks left. 🥱 We sleep 1/2 as much as young men/aging autocrats = 👀

... but we have money for a $1.2B tax cut? #TryBeingVulnerableAndSeeHowItFeels #Irresponsible

submitted 33 days ago • 1 comment

Alberta budget is introducing a $1.2 billion tax cut at the same time that it is projecting a $5.2 billion. They are borrowing money for the tax cut. In the face of a likely trade war with the US. This is irresponsible.

This ABMunis doc examines how provincial budgets can force munis to raise taxes or cut services. The province can decide to cut infra investment, increase its take from property taxes, and cut its payment for muni services -- and let munis take the political tax heat. www.abmunis.ca/advocacy-res...

Did you receive a response to that question? "Starting in July 2026, disability income assistance applicants will be assessed for both the new program and AISH, ensuring eligible applicants are placed in the program best suited to their unique situation." More hoops and barriers ...?

Good on the St. Albert Gazette for calling it a “nazi salute” and not ‘some weird arm gesture.’

This headline employs a phrase that most people will interpret to mean the Prime Minister is doing something wrong or unfair. Neither the prorogation nor the fact that there's a Liberal leadership race means that the PM can't or shouldn't fill Senate vacancies. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I am proud to represent my country, Canada, at the United Nations. A foundational principle of international law and the UN Charter is to respect the sovereignty and independence of other states. That’s why we support Ukraine. It’s also why we support ourselves.
