Palmer makes a pretty compelling case that anti-colonial and anti-capitalist struggles have played out independently of each other in Canada, to their detriment. How to bridge that divide is a tough one though.

I’m going to need Corey to indicate the U of C policies that apply and the policies that direct Calgary Police to implement those U of C policies. And where is it noted that Calgary Police can cause concussions and broken ribs? I’ll wait

I was willing to keep an open mind and consider loaning my vote to the Liberals depending on what the candidate had to say, but nah. Not for send cops after students apologists.

Really shameful for the Liberal candidate running to represent Calgary Confederation to be lying like this. Arrests weren't the worst of what happened last May at the UofC, but claiming that no students were arrested is disinformation.

This is absolutely false and nine months in, Hogan either knows this and is lying or doesn’t and has drafted entire public briefings for the UofC President based on bad information. Either is bad news for a VP Communications / federal govt hopeful.

I was standing right beside this person while Calgary police assaulted him, including one who took wind-up kicks at the sides of his ankles. Like me, an officer also choked him on the ground. Utterly horrifying brutality. Hogan needs to resign.

If you were unsettled by UCalgary‘s brutalization of students on May 9, you may feel the same about @coreyhogan.ca’s LPC nomination. An antifascist candidate will uphold free expression, safety & dignity of constituents. Hogan should help find one. www.readtheorchard.org/p/ucalgary-p...

Hogan, in his admin role at UCalgary, played a pretty central role in the decision to crush the pro-🇵🇸 encampment. You can read about that here: www.readtheorchard.org/p/ucalgary-p...

At this point in the Liberal Party’s utter capitulation to Israel’s genocide, I can’t be too surprised to see Corey Hogan running for them less than a year after he played a key role in the University of Calgary’s violent suppression of students’ free expression.

@readtheorchard.org just got lit up by Chief Neufeld at Calgary Police Commission. (Appel was not present to respond.) Neufeld called Appel's story on UCP interference on the ASIRT investigation "an opinion piece, at best." Decide for yourself: 1/ www.readtheorchard.org/p/how-the-uc...

So much of what I see people saying, from annexation fears to imagining Canada embracing economic refugees from the US, is rooted in a version Canada that hasn't existed in decades.

Two years ago an UCP minister posted a video so bad it made me do a deep dive on crankish Alberta separatist literature. Took a while to get this episode out the door but somehow nationalism became a relevant topic again.

After Calgary Police smashed my face in, I was left asking WHY the UofC sicced riot cops on a peaceful protest so quickly and so violently. @readtheorchard.org reveals it may have been at the behest of a pro-Israel lobby in contact with the UofC President. www.readtheorchard.org/p/ucalgary-p...

Billionaire media owners have always used their outlets to shape public narrative. It takes a certain level of cultural hegemony to pull that off while maintaining a kayfabe of press freedom. Dropping the act is a sign that you can't pull off the lie anymore.

Jeremy Appel is among the most impactful journalists in Alberta yet struggles to get acknowledged by mainstream press specifically because he does the job of holding power to account that they often won't do (unless someone else already has). Support his work ⬇️

Just before the holiday, UCalgary released its seemingly rushed review on the May 9 encampment protest, completed by MNP. Over a month later they started releasing some massively overdue FOIPs. These help show the review wasn't comprehensive—or accurate. ablawg.ca/2025/02/18/t...

Your regular reminder that the drop on childhood vaccination in Canada is tied to a lack of access to family doctors. Only a tiny number of parents actually refuse vaccines.
