Just a reminder both Banff and Jasper National Parks not only depended on the dispossession and expulsion of Indigenous people but also the early infrastructure was built through forced labour by ‘enemy aliens’ who were kept in prison camps.

Albertans have good reason to be angry: their real wages are down 10%, their minimum wage is frozen, their inflation is worst in Canada, their health care's at risk. None of that was caused by the rest of Canada. My take in today's @TorontoStar: www.thestar.com/business/opi.... #cdnecon

Why does every Albertan have bootstraps? Do they hand them out at the border? Where are mine?

Always like to remind people while there is no ethical consumption under capitalism- there is less ethical consumption under capitalism

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

It does in the sense that we all need to resist whenever and wherever we can. It doesn’t because they’ve underestimated how far down the fascism route Canada is too.

Danielle Smith is on a collision course with her own base. Because while most Albertans don't want separation, the ones who propelled her to office very much do.

On this day - Nakba day - Palestinians in Gaza are starving. Canada isn’t doing enough to stop this genocide. Minister Anand and Prime Minister Carney must: Demand an end to the blockade! Impose an arms embargo! Sanction Netanyahu and his ministers! Recognize the state of Palestine!

This whole situation is so full of contradictions it makes your head spin. Here we untangle Alberta separatism a bit by picking apart where western alienation is coming from and how it became the convoy-driving right wing libertarian movement that it is.

New from me! The provincial government believes Albertans on AISH are already receiving more than enough support. So rather than let the federal government lift some Albertans with disabilities out of poverty, the province has decided to claw back the Canada Disability Benefit.
