Premier Smith is already opening the door to the idea of Alberta separating from Canada. But she’s forgetting that Albertans are PROUD to be Canadian! 🍁 #abpoli #ableg

@kim-bo.bsky.social. So, what kind of content will you be publishing after the election and the focus of your writing is no longer around. Just asking for a friend.

Pierre & Ana Poilievre reside in a tax payer funded mansion, with drivers, chefs & nannies. Which makes it even more offensive to listen to Pierre suggest he will throw homeless folks in jails against their will I think it's time Canadians take a stand and throw the Poilievre's out on their asses.

👎🏼 Let's just add to the #sprawl. 😳 There was once upon a time where the City of Calgary was planning for more centric growth. We can't even get the LRT that we need, but let's build, baby, build. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Until this moment, President Trump, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Let us not torture these innocent men further. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency? (Paraphrasing the words of Boston lawyer Joseph Welch, who ended Senator Joseph McCarthy’s career)

I bought a new book last night, Dr. Helen Fry's, MI9. Just started reading it at coffee break. I love the smell of the pages of a new book. #booklover # bibliophile #reader

Danielle Smith, bring on the separatist referendum, but under one condition: When Albertans reaffirm our unquestionable allegiance and commitment to the rest of Canada, you immediately resign as Premier and your seat as an MLA.

If you are worried about disinformation and media manipulation in this election give a pass to @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social They caved to pressure from Pierre Poiievre's online posse in their continual harassment of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social She is a truth teller. CTV is not.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

I think this is a great idea. A trained civil defence force could be essential in combating disasters that are the results of climate change. Countries like Finland are way ahead in many areas in this regard. Of course, they sit next door to Russia. tinyurl.com/29qebvjh

#junos. It's great you have sponsors for all these awards. But isn't it more important to announce the artist's names rather than the sponsors?

Martial Law. It’s the elephant in the room. It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them. It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for. 🧵…

Detaining int'l students w/out charges or due process is wrong. Where's the Dem action against this? McCain would've fought it. #dueprocess #civilrights

@schumer.senate.gov Sir, what are you doing to hold the White House's feet to the fire for the illegal arrests and detainment of international students? I believe these people are being held in violation of their First Amendment rights, and are not being given due process.

Season 32 of The Graham Norton Show, conquered! 😉 Thanks, BBC First Canada, for keeping us (mostly) up-to-date. Two weeks behind the UK broadcast is a small price to pay for the full experience. What were your favorite moments? 😂 #GrahamNorton #CanadianTVProblems

Something I can't emphasize enough: it is rare and important for an outlet to invest in journalism and journalists. I am grateful The Narwhal does that. I was given time, space and money for this — the not-so-secret formula for producing good (I hope) journalism. Please consider supporting it.
