#IStandWithTrudeau Woke; proud of it. Lifelong Albertan against misinformation, willful ignorance, feckless lack of accountability/civility. Senior - still working though (at a place where my opinions might impact my employment, thus the lack of "name"!)

Hello friends! This account is dedicated to keeping a watchful eye on the Alberta governments tenders. This account will post and highlight procurement contracts that meet one of the following conditions: -Privatization (ex: private surgery contracts) -Single Source (Non-Competitive) -Unnecessary

If Poilievre becomes PM and the US tries to invade Canada what kind of donuts do you think Pierre will be bring the US soldiers?

Thread. UCP response to legitimate questions .. basically say this outside of the Leg and we'll sue. No answer. Just threats.

My latest, on the importance of thinking ahead, in line with Trump’s rapidly worsening behaviour: we need to be prepared to respond, not to what Trump has done to us to date, but to what he’s likely to do to us in future

The disgraceful behaviour in the White House is not about Trump or Vance. It is about the complicity of the entire political class of the United States and the American media. It is about the very soul of America. They either stand up for democracy or they stand for tyranny. The world is watching.

Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

Ooops! We dumped all our toxic coal mine tailings into an Alberta river - again. The UCP's vaunted 'world-class' regulations working as planned, for a world where pollution is allowed to run rampant #pollution #abpoli #yeg #yyc #yql www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Just heard about Danielle's big income tax cut. That $800 a year should almost cover half of either my doubled insurance rates or my doubled utility rates. Thanks Danielle! Really looking out for the little guys. Quick question. How much does Mraiche get?

🚨 BREAKING: European leaders rallied to defend Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance subjected him to a tirade of withering and infantilizing abuse in the Oval Office. Full story:

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

You probably saw the awful press conference in Washington D C today. Did you catch the details that while @apnews.com and @reuters.com were blocked, Russian state media were in the room? amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Good statement. Trudeau needs to get on Bluesky, though.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

"Do I believe Danielle Smith interfered with Alberta Health, and on behalf of her own staff in an attempt to cover for her staff’s wrongdoing? One hundred per cent." #ableg #abpoli

Midwives provide care just like doctors in cases of generally low risk, uncomplicated pregnancy and birth. They're trained to triage and connect with a physician/specialist if needed, and a midwife attended birth can be at home or in a hospital. We must support midwifery! www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

~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...

Hey folks rather than quote tweeting links from Cross Country Checkup or Hanomansing, giving them engagement they so desperately crave, I'd suggest taken 3 minutes and writing to the CBC Ombudsman who will take our complaints seriously. cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman...

The Mentzelopoulos lawsuit says Danielle Smith used private detectives etc to try to catch online critic and informed leaker Hansard the Cat. I was told, unconfirmed, the Edmonton Police Service's Organizational Security Unit was involved. Here's a FOIP I filed in October and the EPS response. 1

Wow, Danielle Smith's chief of staff, Marshall Smith, called AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos to get her to fire Nate Pike @natepike.bsky.social of The Breakdown @thebreakdownab.bsky.social #ableg #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Just repeating Dad...

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

After 7 years of Ford, Ontario continues its race to the bottom ranking among Canadian provinces. Bottom of the pack in funding for education & schools, doctors & hospital beds/capita, support for social services, housing. We are worse off with Ford. www.readthemaple.com/doug-fords-g...

Laura Babcock 🇨🇦 - "If you're in Ontario and struggling to pay rent, pay your mortgage ... if you're suffering guess who's to blame: it's not Trudeau it's Ford!" #cdnpoli #peipoli

“Poilievre fights against better pensions for Canadians, but he’s certainly getting his…” #cdnpoli #peipoli

So everybody saying we don’t need to worry about any of this stuff because it’s not legal. When do those legal folks step in and turn everything back to normal? Is that happening Monday? Tuesday?
