A fun fact is that Hitler had his final freakout after hearing a radio broadcast detailing how joyful Italians spent a day spitting on Mussolini's body in a gutter.

Danielle Smith forecast a 5.2 billion deficit this year with oil pegged at $68. It's currently at $58, meaning another 7.5 billion potential shortfall. Look for more Ottawa bashing to distract Albertans, it's the tired and true tradition. #cdnpoli

Before the advent of modern antibiotics and vaccines, half of all children died. In broad strokes, half of all children had always died, everywhere. After the advent of modern antibiotics and vaccines, the death of a child became an unusual event in Western societies.

Some were stupid. But also, some were incredibly poorly informed, in a poisonous and predatory information environment. That's the ballgame.

Come on

Newsletter: I am sick and god damn tired of everybody pretending that generative AI is the next big thing. The media is complicit in accepting fantastical nonsense - both in the numbers put out by OpenAI and the silly jobs created by Anthropic - and it has to stop. www.wheresyoured.at/reality-check/

"The UCP’s reforms reflect... the strategies pioneered by Trump Republicans: leveraging dark money, undermining trust in elections, weaponizing recalls, disenfranchising opponents, suppressing voter turnout, & empowering radical populist movements." New from me. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

Danielle Smith’s UCP government restores big money corporate donations to political parties

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

And a reminder — to the extent that this is about protecting the O&G industry (and it is): #ableg At $330 billion in 2025 dollars (adjusted for inflation), that’ll wipe out 60% of all royalties earned (based on Yager’s Mature Asset Strategy report). And that is certainly an underestimate.

A government under seven (7) different investigations for corruption just introduced a bill that would bring more corporate money into politics. This is not normal. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

There are are 52 ridings across Canada where the population density is greater than 3,000 people per square kilometre. The Liberals won 48 of them. The NDP won 3, while the Conservatives won 1 — York Centre.

💀🤣🤣

A bit of a softer tone than the "list of demands" she presented Carney with when he initially became leader, imo. Still a crybaby temper tantrum though.

Carney commits to admitting his mistakes openly and to learning from them quickly. That could be a *very* big change from his predecessor... (Or anyone in politics, really). If, of course, he actually follows through with it.

Jamil Jivani on Doug Ford: "When it was our turn to run an election, he couldn't stay out of our business" "Trying to position himself as some kind of political genius" "He's not doing a good job running this province" "Having coffees and lattes with Mark Carney" "Hype man to the Liberal Party"

Can you imagine?

What a picture.

Strategic voting for me but not for thee

Unfortunate bit of timing as Poilievre’s line that the Conservatives held the Liberals and NDP to too few seats to form a majority collation was delivered just as the ticker at the bottom of the screen showed their combined total moving to 172.

Blake Desjarlais losing his seat — to anyone, let alone this guy — is heartbreaking and a stain on tonight.

Jagmeet Singh has announced he will be resigning as leader of the NDP. #cdnpoli

Great thread 😂

My final predictions: Liberals wind up around 180-190 seats. NDP hold a few key seats but lose official party status. Poilievre and Singh both out as leaders by the end of the week.

The CPC campaign is managed by Jenni Byrne and Matt Wolf.

My Facebook DMs are full of fans like Chris Elliot. Know what I do when I get a message like this? I spend the time to track them down and then send the message to their mothers and sisters and daughters. If you’ve got the energy to send this shit to me, I’ve got the energy to out you.

Dear fellow Canadians, Go vote like your country depends on it. Because it very well might.

Voters nearly six months too late

The FBI just arrested a Wisconsin circuit court judge for failing to assist ICE to its satisfaction in their kidnapping of a human being out of court custody and into a death camp. Any attempt to soften the reality of that statement is fascist propaganda.

one of the bravest people of this century so far. RIP. hope you find peace somewhere.

In former Alberta CMOH Mark Joffe's first "public"" appearance since leaving the role... His frustration with the hypocrisy of forcing people to accept treatment for addictions (despite the evidence against it) & refusing to mandate vaccines for school entry was clear. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

How a man baselessly got called a pedophile by a stranger, flips them off, and is doxxed in major newspapers for doing so. Really great story that perfectly encapsulates a manufactured outrage machine that transports scapegoats from the grassroots far-right all the way to international news media.

Breaking News from @theathletic.bsky.social: A mistrial has been declared in the Hockey Canada sexual assault case. The judge adjourned court early Wednesday, telling jurors: “Something happened over the lunch hour that I need to think about and to discuss with the lawyers.”

Pierre Poilievre's closing argument includes repeated references to the work of Policy Horizons, a government group charged with identifying risks to Canada's future. His willingness to weaponize their work is a choice -- and a warning. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/25/o...

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

“Alberta's measles outbreak is now the worst recorded in nearly three decades and that has health experts raising the alarm and renewing calls for stronger messaging from the provincial government.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

They’re arresting judges now

Hard to overstate how radically this is rejecting the innermost core historical foundation of what laws and courts are for. Not something dating back a couple centuries in the Constitution, something going back millennia almost to the dawn of recorded history.

I want to staple this to the forehead of so many people rn

Good. Democrats should threaten these firms with criminal prosecutions down the line for engaging in open bribery of the president.

The study also finds that "measles may reestablish endemicity" and we're in for more than 800,000 cases over the next 25 years *even at current vaccination rates* jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

“The only way to do this is to maintain high levels of immunization. We require access to publicly funded vaccines, and both culturally and language-appropriate promotion efforts.” Alberta’s former CMOH is clearly unmuzzled! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

If the @washingtonpost.com wanted to set its credibility on fire, this is what it would do. ChatGPT cannibalized an actual reporter’s good work, turned it into a steaming pile of misinformation and then had the fucking nerve to slap the reporter’s name back on its bullshit.

Take that, Bill Maher.
