I know there’s a lot going on tonight (Go Oilers), but just as the game starts, the UCP will start ramming through two very troubling bills and will end all further debate. Among other things, Bill 54 includes a series of awful undemocratic election reforms and Bill 55 allows for private hospitals.

The Late Show, live from the Legislature, feat. The UCP's playbook: late-night sessions, limiting debate, and ramming through bills that will only make life harder for Albertans. Better is possible, but it won't happen under Danielle Smith and the UCP #ableg youtube.com/shorts/2SFGf...

I feel like Alberta losing their democracy should be a bigger deal.

Amen

I’m convinced that mask wearing, ICE agents, who are illegally entering people’s homes without search warrants, and kidnapping them without due process- are very likely Proud Boys, or Jan 6th terrorists in disguise.

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

Republicans are calling hearings to talk about trans athletes in fencing. Their goal is clear: to make sure Fox has something to talk about other than Elon Musk’s theft and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s insider trading.

Israel’s plan of forced starvation, ethnic cleansing & annexation continues. Mark Carney must act. Arms embargo. Sanctions. Suspend trade w/ settlements. Recognize Palestine. This is the worst it has been & only the international community can stop this horror. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro with the Mikisew Cree did not hold back today with his thoughts on Bill 54, literally throwing it away... "You're garbage like that. This is treaty land and we stand on it today" #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“First Nations will not separate. Any efforts to separate will be met with our full opposition.” Chiefs from Tsuut'ina, Bearspaw, Chiniki & Goodstoney Nations also condemning any efforts towards separatism. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

“An online fundraising campaign has been started on behalf of former Alberta Health Services CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos. As of 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday, the GoFundMe had neared $13,000 of its $100,000 goal in support of Mentzelopoulos’s legal costs.” #abpoli #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Start of the Night and End of the Night. Yay @brucefanjoy.bsky.social !

As measles cases continue to grow in Alberta... You might be wondering the last time that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith mentioned vaccines on her socials. It was 2022. When she was running for UCP Leadership. That was the last time. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is FASCISM Plain and simple #resist #stopGOPfascism #impeach #saveourdemocracy #nomorebillionaires #nonazis

Now, Canada must do something about American ownership of our news media.

Just a reminder. There is no Alberta without Canada. The separatists in Alberta are a loud and vocal minority. Real Albertans need to start getting louder than them. Now. #Canada #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Good luck today, Canada 🇨🇦 elbows up!

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy was the *only world leader who rcvd applause when the people saw him on the huge screens at the Pope's funeral. You know the Trumpster Fire is still seething over that. He's also still seething bc French President Macron snubbed him & signaled his support of Zelenskyy.

We don't need anger. We need to build. #CanadaStrong
