Happy International Women's Day

Keep shining. ✨ Today and every day.

I don’t like official “days” - but this year, International Women’s Day hits a bit differently. So this year, instead of being an official “day” curmudgeon, as is my usual practice, I want to say this. I stand with all women who fighting for equality, resisting tyranny and longing for peace. #IWD

Happy International Women's Day! May our cats be adorable, our bank accounts ours and ours alone, our ears deaf to the phrase, "How are you still single?" and our interest in sports never dampened by men being shocked that we know what sports are.

Tell Wayne Gretzky if he does us a solid next time he is hanging out at Maralago, then Canada 🍁 will forgive him. Until then, he’s off the team.

ICYMI yesterday the Government of #Canada and BC signed a pharmacare agreement to provide universal access to contraceptive & diabetes medications, devices & supplies for residents. This includes hormone replacement therapy to treat menopausal symptoms for all residents. Coverage begins March 2026.

It's safe to say, they (CPC), hate the Liberals and Trudeau, MORE than they love Canada. Plane and simple. Just look at their comments. They take more joy on hating, than loving Canada. That's just sad. Pathetic really. #cdnpoli

If you ever find yourself about to post something that is important to you, but then hesitate…fearing it might piss someone off….you MUST post it. Those are the very posts that count the most right now. Someone has got to say it. Let it be you.

“Then press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters directly that if Canada wants to avoid tariffs in the future, it should become the fifty-first U.S. state. She revealed it: Trump’s tariffs aren’t about fentanyl or any supposed unfair treatment of the U.S. “ #cdnpoli apple.news/Aq9lxBcvRQIO...

This is Canada. It takes a special kind of incompetence to make Canadians lose their patience.

At the hair salon for a hair cut today. I asked about the products the stylist was using on my hair as they were different from the last time I was in. Her salon has switched out any US products with Canadian or in my case, the product Eleven - from Australia:-) This is how we do it Canada.

Yes, it's still hokey. But the subtle shift from the "I Am Canadian" in the original 2000 and the new slogan in 2025 is notable. It's now "We Are Canadian." That one word change is telling, and it's bad news for the new right in Canada. 🧵 youtu.be/1LzhCLzfJFg?...

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

If I have to live in Wayne's World it will be with a truly great one like Mike Myers. The other Wayne had a chance to stand up for Canada. He chose silence. Mike Myers showed up big time. No hedging, no playing both sides - just a real Canadian standing up for his country.

#ABPoli #ABLeg We kill when we corrupt our world class health system

Soooooo I’m gonna be going to bed angry again. If you wanna be American, move. Albertans are Canadian first, and many of us will die to keep it that way! 🇨🇦 Tell Danielle! —to kiss my 🍑 😡 #abpoli #ableg #wexit #alberta #ucp #smith

Tip for hockey media folks claiming to have even a shred of dignity left: Instead of asking US players what they think of Canadian fans booing their anthem, ask them how they feel about their president repeatedly suggesting that Canada should cease to even fucking exist. Try that just once.

WE'LL ALWAYS HOLD THE DOOR FOR EACH OTHER - VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand. They see Canada, and the best of our values. Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

Swish ARCC: What Caitlin Clark Fans Would Say To Nike After The Super Bowl Ad! #CC22 #CaitlinClark #IndianaFever #FeverRising #AllStar25 #WNBA youtu.be/-h2SkOsn_i8

Millions of dollars in contracts. High-level corruption. Political interference and coverups. If the latest allegations are true, this is a scandal of epic proportions. Danielle Smith, it’s time to fire Adriana LaGrange. Alberta, it’s time to fire Danielle Smith and the UCP. Enough is enough.

Week 5 on the picket line. While Danielle Smith and the UCP are busy lighting more dumpsters on fire, education workers continue to fight for fair wages. This is a government that has no money for essential Alberta workers, but lots of money for their friends.

The stupidest thing I saw online today was $2000 Canada Goose Fusion Fit parka wearing Pierre Poilievre mock the $2000 Italian boots Mark Carney was wearing to play street hockey. JFC the political class is so goddamn out of touch with all of us.

The gap between First Nations and non-First Nations life expectancy in Alberta is 19 years, and wider now than any other point on record. This is a provincial and national emergency. #ableg www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/f...

Today’s news story from @kimsiever.bsky.social. Alberta lost over 21,000 full-time jobs last month And they were all women workers. The province also saw the largest loss in overall jobs in Canada. albertaworker.ca/news/ab-lost...

No AB govt has played a more heavy-handed role in AHS than Danielle Smith’s. They’ve replaced the CEO 5 times, the Board twice, reorganized, decentralized, allegedly messed with contracts. Nobody’s believing Danielle Smith’s fiction that AHS is somehow separate from her. She made sure it wasn’t.

BREAKING: Alberta's Auditor General confirms he's examining the "Procurement and Contracting Processes at the Department of Health and AHS", focused on "Chartered Surgical Facilities, Medication (ibuprofen or acetaminophen), and COVID-19 Personal Protection Equipment.” #ableg

As the public & opposition are calling for #RCMP investigation of UCP corruption related to firing of the #AHS CEO these 3 are in the USA at the Christofascist prayer breakfast praying for themselves. Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Health Dan Williams Nathan Neudorf #ABC #CdnPoli #AbPoli

Here’s the real statistics ya’ll. But I really think most of us knew that the threats were never really about these issues. 🤨 #cdnpoli #abpoli #2025 #trump #canada #usapoli #trudeau #usa

Trump is a lying gangster. His claim that Canada's border is a threat is just one of a millions lies. Check out the green graph line at the bottom. He's too gutless to take on Putin so he thinks we will be an easy mark. Donald has poked the polar bear. #strongasfuck infogram.com/1p1xq9rjw1dr...

Technically, it’s only -35 C (with the windchill) in Edmonton right now. But it seems the right day to share this mighty anthem of Canadian resolve and perseverance. As I head out to walk my dog, I will be singing this song with Canadian pride and vigour. youtu.be/DAp7FvZ5Opw

Trump's attack on Canada is not about fentanyl or the border. It is an attack on our nationhood. But here's the thing: Trump is America's biggest disadvantage because he divides. But he is unifying our nation like never before. Canada #strongasfuck charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-new-wo...

There is NEVER EVER a straight clean honest decree from the Alberta UCP. These asshats give with one hand and take back double with the other hand all the while smiling like they’ve just bestowed Albertans with a gift we should be grateful for. UCP=grifters, liars, thieves. #abpoli

Childcare subsidy: cut. Funding for disability support groups: cut. Eye exam coverage: cut. That’s just what the UCP have cut this month. Meanwhile, the Alberta NDP? We cut child poverty in half. Governing is about choices. The UCP aren’t choosing you.

When will #Alberta government STOP spending OUR tax dollars on their vanity tours/holidays and START spending on #Albertans ??! #ableg #abpoli #DanielleSmithIsUnfit #UCP

#Ableg Over 7-days, Danielle Smith: 🏡 Withheld $120,000,000 to help Jasper residents rebuild their homes 💰Wasted $2,000,000 on a fake COVID-19 report 📰 Criticized by 🇨🇦 media for her disastrous anti-Canada stance What will Canada’s Worst Premier do for an encore? #Cndpoli #Canpoli NeverTrump.ca

From the DM’s… We’re told that this is the ceiling in one of the cancer treatment facilities in Alberta. That’s literal sewage leaking through the ceiling. This is Alberta Healthcare under the UCP, but at least Smith disintegrated AHS, right? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
