Yes. Immersed in a worldview influenced by Ayn Rand’s loopy fiction. Freedom (from taxation, regulation) for Big Oil; authoritarianism for the average citizen (no vaccines for you; Big Sister controls what you can and cannot read.) She’s a treacherous little Ron DeSantis wannabe.
An excellent explainer of Danielle’s political ambitions. “Smith’s politics represent an ideological project to “create Alberta’s little bastion of freedom and free enterprise”” We are her experiment. I’m not at all sure we won’t succumb.
“They say they are ridding D.C. of violent crime, and at the same time they’re giving early release to people convicted of gun crimes, even if they have a dangerous, violent criminal history...[this] is the height of hypocrisy for this administration.” - Eric Tirschwell, Everytown Law
Rumors of him being well may have been greatly exaggerated

This is straight out of Republican union bashing 101. The war on the working class by the oligarchs is real.

While the U.S. spent a half a billion dollars painting a fence black on their side, Mexico invited artists to paint their side to express their artistic talent. 💗 The contrast between the two countries highlights each country’s priorities.

Agreed. What if they all bring books to school?
Yo, Albertan High schoolers! Welcome back to classes! Ask your teachers what they think about the fact your premiere is scared you might read classic page-turners like Brave New World or The Handmaid's Tale. And use your power to get ahold of tjem yourselves. Oh, and don't you dare forget Vonnegut!
Hey Alberta! Do not surrender in advance. #ElbowsUp
I want the real numbers how many billions in lost revenue from pardons. How much in golf trips? How many lost jobs? How much lost in deportation? How much lost by the worldwide boycott? I know I read tht the whiskey boycott so far is 64 million
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?

If the Dems are looking for some advice on how to address crime & violence, I’ve got a couple of thoughts on who might be able to help. Folks doing the work on gun violence prevention, criminal justice reform, housing, etc. Survivors. We know what safety looks like 1/ apnews.com/article/trum...

He pushes a lot of misinformation. Help stop this by signing the petition against politicians in Canada spreading it. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
If he knows what he’s saying is untrue, it’s disinformation. If he’s unwittingly sharing lies, it’s misinformation. I have a feeling it’s the former.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to propose a bill to address the issue of perceived and actual misinformation being presented by MPs to the public, provided that such a bill could be informed by details outlined in the white paper proposed by the ICDR.
happy labor day
Happy Labor Day, don’t forget to punch a Capitalist today.

Isn't the sign off different now?
Any 'extra' money coming in is being paid by ordinary Americans, it's not coming into the country from outside anymore. DumbDon has made sure that the USA is definitely a 3rd World, and now fascist too, country.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Good morning and happy Labor Day to everyone. When is it ok to wish ill on someone? The short answer is: never. And the long answer is: Really. Never. Anyway, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car crash in New Hampshire over the weekend. 👀

Please make sure every kid and parent has this. dp.la/news/the-ban...
Contact your MLA. Your kids need to read from Day 1’. Not another delay while they figure their nonsense out. Now. They are the innocent victims of this insanity
What is
I wouldn’t have survived school without books of my own to read during downtime. Alberta’s Premier wants kids bored, unable to read at or beyond grade level, and to grow up hating education and reading. It’s all part of the oligarchs’ dumbing down plan that has worked so well in the USA.

On social media, I'm seeing lots of my colleagues boxing up their collections & taking them out of their classrooms/schools entirely. Teachers in Alberta have been subsidizing our public education system. Those learning materials & opportunities are being removed because of the UCP. #ABEd #ABpoli
See, if I was a parent there I’d send my kid to school with a copy of The Satanic Verses.
I’m sorry, but isn’t that a Charter violation? Canada is not a country where the government interferes and infringes on your rights and freedoms just because a few social conservative nutters are offended by someone else’s worldview. Book banning is a very slippery slope.
I encourage Alberta high school students to dress as handmaidens, aunts, and wives (from "The Handmaid's Tale") for Halloween🎃. Or start adding responses such as "Under His eye," to classroom conversations.
Handmaids Tales has been removed so little girls won’t be able to read about what is actually their lives.
MAGA is too stupid to realise the only reason illegals work so cheap is because the cant risk complaining. Its employers that don't want them to be legal.
My mother said that she was not allowed to watch her sister give birth because she had not experienced it. Young girls have the details of pregnancy and childbirth hidden from them, so they don't know what to expect as they go through it. This is a denial of informed consent. ☕️💜
Media hiding the protests. Complicit since day1.
Executive editors in America are supposed to be excellent writers with investigative prowess, integrity, ethical standards and moral wisdom, not groveling sycophants to political corruption and the broligarchy. Sadly the latter seems to be the norm. Always be wary of the media’s intentions.
🚨 “The people united will never be divided!” Happening in OUR nation’s capital today. 1/2
High speed crash? Geez I thought his car was rear-ended by somebody. There was no mention of speed in the statement.
Fatality.
What I love the most is that they always complain that everyone else is being divisive. Honey, you're the one backing a queerphobic guy who would personally murder homeless people if he could get away with it, I think you're the one who's being divisive
That doesn't sound deranged enough. Obviously, it's someone who forgot commas, broken sentences, etc. There's gotta be a sign forthcoming.🤞🙏
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
“They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex.”
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Everything we take for granted — weekends, paid vacations, sick leave, safer workplaces, health care — exists because of unions.

At Pritzker’s behest, the IL Dept of Public Health is exploring the possibility of bulk-purchasing Covid vaccines straight from manufacturers, a senior Illinois health official confirms. Because there's no better way to say fk-off to RFK Jr & Trump than pure action. capitolfax.com/2025/08/29/i...

Venezuela with its oil, gold & measure of rare earth elements - not to mention years of refusing to the bend the knee to US imperialism & corporate power. The US is ever more the bellicose rogue state.

It would be foolish for the US to attack Venezuela, but regardless, RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Natural resources aplenty in Ven. Hardly just a distraction from Epstein. Why can’t the rapist in chief just scuttle off into the abyss already. I’m so f’ing tired of the bs and it’s only been a few moths.

Well, there goes the peace prize. What could be so bad that he'll start a war to distract us? Oh, that...
Then they came for two Federal Trade Commissioners, but I did not speak out-- because the President of the United States had not yet been indicted for his rapes.
Then they came for head of the CDC, but I did not speak out-- because the President of the United States has not yet been indicted for his rapes.
Then they came for a Governor of the Federal Reserve, but I did not speak out-- because the President of the United States had not yet been indicted for his rapes.
Trump needs something to distract from the big Epstein-related press conference slated for Wednesday. "Wag the Dog"
The USS Lake Erie, a guided missile cruiser, has passed through the Panama Canal into the Caribbean to join other US warships and a submarine off Venezuela.
That would be excellent and hilarious at the same time
Donald Trump has reportedly gone out of his way to avoid paying national guard troops sent in to Washington, D.C., resulting in outrage from veterans.
