Doug Ford needs to cancel Ontario’s contract with Starlink now. Absolutely solidarity with Ukraine but also to avoid it being used as a bargaining chip by Musk and Trump against Canada. Right now, Premier Ford.

Lyin' Brian should be fired, or resign "What’s left will end up contaminated with selenium and other chemicals. So, goodbye to clean, potable water and to the native trout. This latest creative spin from Brian Jean’s office is nothing short of a joke. Coal mines use a lot of water, year-round .."

~The St. Albert Gazette has been knocking it out of the park in exposing #UCPCorruption Timeline of how lobbyists with ties to UCP pushed coal policy rewrite The coal industry hired at least 14 UCP insiders to lobby for favourable policy changes www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/t...

💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Two special elections on April 1 could end Trump's control of Congress. If there was ever a race that needed even your smallest donation... it's this one. @joshweil.bsky.social is running against Trump/DeSantis' hand-picked ultra-maga extremist, Randy Fine, who will be a Trump rubber stamp.

How We Know that Vaccines Are Safe www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/... by @jonathanjarry.bsky.social Reality: "Vaccine safety is studied in a series of larger and larger clinical trials before they can be approved, and surveillance continues after a vaccine is used to monitor for rare side effects."

In other words, Premier Smith purposefully misled Albertans to vilify our public health care system. Just like when she claimed AESO & AUC asked for the renewables pause, but the letters and FOIP requests proved otherwise. Danielle Smith is a perpetual liar. #ableg #abpoli

This is not government. This is keeping secrets from Albertans. They are hiding information from us, the people they are supposed to serve. Transparency is democratic. UCP is autocratic.

If these numbers aren't enough to make EVERY ALBERTAN pause, look them over, and immediately say we need a PUBLIC INQUIRY to understand what's going on here, I don't know what will. Some points to consider a 🧵 : 1/7

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

This is astounding. It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS. And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

"Documents obtained by The Globe show some of those prices were more than double what a competitor was charging for the same procedures." Alberta surgical companies with contracts under scrutiny linked to firm that imported children’s pain meds theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Liberal Party of Canada 🇨🇦 - "In 1967, Pierre Elliott Trudeau declared “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation,” and since then, we’ve legalized same-sex marriage, banned conversion therapy, and fought to protect trans rights." Poilievre will take it away. #cdnpoli #peipoli

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

'.. ill-fated $70-million contract to import children’s pain medication in 2022 resulted in delivery of 30 per cent of the order. While Premier Smith has resisted calls for a judicial public inquiry, Bratt said eventually her government may not have a choice.' edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/02/20/a...

😭

This is it 👇 #TeslaTakedown

Don’t sell out Canadian companies to the US 🤬

💔 It's the selenium, for which there is no solution. Brian Jean is a liar.

Vote early, vote often!

Part of my email to Danielle Smith today. #Alberta #AHSbullshittery

Very telling the UCP chose to “consult” about AISH changes only with service providers and organizations they control like the Premier’s Council on the Status of Persons with disabilities. It is a pattern. UCP failed to consult actual people with disabilities and AISH recipients. #ABpoli #aish

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

I wonder at what point Twitter gets classified as a national /global security threat, and countries start shutting it down,or at least remove government/journalistic accounts? It's clear that it's being used to subvert elections by spreading misinformation #cdnpoli #canada

So the guy the UCP govt tried to get fired from his govt job because of his podcast criticizing the Premier had his podcast shut down by the guy who gave the Premier's staff sky box tickets to a Stanley Cup game last year? Nothing incredibly fishy illegal about that, I'm sure, right?

Dirty, dirty, dirty backroom deals the results of which will be the outright poisoning of southern Alberta's drinking water, something the impotent & corrupt #AER won't lift a finger on. Last time it was up to Albertans and we stopped this thing cold. We just have to do it again. Get LOUD #abpoli

European Parliament member 👇🏽

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head. They’re not even hiding it.

Very interesting. I never knew this happened

75 years of diplomacy, hard work and a commitment to liberal democracy has just been flushed down the toilet by Trump, Vance and their MAGA idiots. Here is my final dispatch from the NATO meetings: Where Canada and Europe goes from here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Do you like your local news outlet? Do you enjoy having two different newspapers in your city with different opinions? And those lovely local community papers! Oops, no you don't! It's all propaganda from a right-wing US hedge fund called Chatham Asset Management which controls Postmedia!
