someone called AI summaries "mansplaining as a service" and now I can't unthink that.

"If the premier holds a series of referendums that end up saying Albertans want this and she's not able to deliver it, it only emboldens her political opponents on both sides — the federalists and the separatists." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

one of the first CDs i ever bought, and 40 years on, still one of the best-sounding CDs. the quiet, haunting sounds of Why Worry...

Sue Johanson was a fixture on Canadian television and radio through the 1980s and 1990s with her Sunday Night Sex Show. She educated Canadians about birth control, safer sex and sexual health. She was a beloved one-of-a-kind Canadian. This is her story. 🧵 1/10

“Have no basis in fact.” MSNBC cuts out of Trump’s press conference to fact check him. The media must do this every time he speaks. Basically calling him a f*cking liar, in not so many words. #cdnpoli

why am i not surprised that Alberta's Best Lawyer [sic] agrees with RFKJr?

Droughts and prayers.

Craig does a wonderful job of bringing Canadian history to life, and not just major events but smaller stories about Canadians who made a difference

what's worse than Trump disobeying SCOTUS decisions and directives? not even having to

Dear Media, STOP calling RFK Jr a vaccine "skeptic". He is an antivaxx liar. An anti-science fearmonger. An exploitive brand builder. He has NOTHING to do with thoughtful skepticism. Don't normalize false balance, middle ground fallacies, or his harmful BS.

imagine a premier volunteering such a crass remark just to own the feds. she's courting the separatists to deflect from the terrible job she's doing

convince me that the Oilers needed to offer a $30M 8-year contract to Trent Frederic in order to keep him

During his life, Mistahi-maskwa (Big Bear) was one of the most important chiefs of the 19th century. He pushed for peace, and for the prosperity of his people. Despite this, he spent his last years imprisoned for treason. This is his story. 🧵 1/11

Or, as we preferred to phrase it here in Alberta, it's about refusing to let Ottawa tell us how to do things

Albertans haven't had enough. That’s why we’re launching the Alberta Next Panel — series of biased surveys and limited access town halls where our voice, not yours, shapes Alberta’s future. 📣 Join the conversation 💻Learn more: alberta.ca/next #abpoli #UCPCorruption

can we call the Alberta Next Panel by its real name: Alberta Festivus?

I am legit curious how journalists control themselves from bursting out laughing at this nitwit's answers

Someone once told me there are no coincidences in politics; I've yet to prove it wrong. #ableg #abpoli womenofabpoli.substack.com/p/alberta-re...

Alberta as we know it today simply would not exist without the millions of immigrants and refugees who built it, who loved it, and who were proud to call it home - including my grandparents and my mum. This bitter xenophobia is as unAlbertan as it’s possible to be. I’m ashamed. I’m disgusted.

Danielle Smith‬⁩ has always had an awkward relationship with the truth and with facts, but completely not understanding the law she just passed few weeks ago, that’s another record for incompetence or deceit. #ableg

"favoured by mass shooters everywhere" (Tracey Wilson is something else)

Goodnight Blue Sky
