Overcrowded classrooms. Erosion of public health. Record unemployment. That's the 'Alberta Advantage' under Danielle Smith.
100% true. America needs a divorce form the Christian Nationalist elements. The clergy is rife with these charlatans. Mega churches seeding money to evil. Cooked.
The majority of these American “Christians” are just bad people. They use religion to try and cover up that fact. They are usually bitter, nasty, cruel, mean and hypocritical. They use religion as performance and appearance. To APPEAR moral and righteous.

#NATO intercepts Russian warplanes violating Estonian airspace. This is right on the heels of 🇷🇺 violating the airspace of Poland and Romania. The entire world knows how weak the Trump regime has made 🇺🇸 with a thoroughly corrupt Putin puppet occupying the White House. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Kylie wrote it best: "We’re currently governed by one of the most rabidly anti-science presidential administrations in modern times. And at the core of these anti-science policies are the rot of anti-abortion extremism."
Conservatives have been bragging all week that they got the Trump administration to pull NIH funding from 17 studies using fetal tissue. What the 'pro-life' movement won't tell you is that one of those studies was seeking to cure brain cancer in children. jessica.substack.com/p/nih-brain-...

Canada and Mexico are launching a new strategic partnership. This is a roadmap to deepen the strong ties between our nations and make North America the most competitive and dynamic economic region in the world — in trade, security, energy, and climate action.

His Dad was a crook and I’m sure he blames the Liberal party for outing his old man’s crookedness. Even though it was his own incompetence that exposed him and eventually lead to Kim Campbell stepping in and taking the political beat down that was rightfully due Mulroney the elder.
Ben Mulroney? Is he unstable? : r/alberta Ben Mulroney's radio show got an afternoon slot on 880 here in Edmonton. Holy fuck. ALL this guy does is attack the Liberals. It's all he does. www.reddit.com/r/alberta/co...
His Daddy arrived at 24 Sussex with 2 moving vans and left with 42. Seemed to have a knack for attracting gifts. And then there were the weekly envelopes of cash dispensed from the PMO directly to Ben's mom. I wonder how much of Ben's inheritance is directly attributable to Karlheinz Schreiber??

Fired for refusing to fabricate evidence to help get someone else fired. That’s where we are.
And *this* is why "The View" didn't mention Jimmy Kimmel being forced out in violation of the First Amendment, even though it was the biggest news of the day. The hosts' paychecks will always come before informing you.
Re the gender confirmation forms that is. MAGAt brain rot is clearly contagious.
And there are actually all kind of practices in place to ensure fairness including letting kids play up and down an age division or skill division based on their natural ability.
As someone who has boy children that play organized sports the main problem that I have with organized sports in Canada is parents who take the competition part all too seriously.
We know that girls that play sports in school reap a range of massive benefits. Any policy that reduces or denies this to any girl for some largely imagined problem is unconscionable.

We live in an age of monsters: #ElonMusk, #DonaldTrump, the #Ellison family, #MarkZuckerberg, #PeterThiel, the sundry billionaires who don’t own apps. This may sound like a caustic and dramatic comment coming from me. Some of them are genuine monsters: Musk, Trump, probably Thiel. In other cases...
There are two types of people in Trump’s administration: -those who will eventually face a request or demand that challenges their integrity and they have to make a decision which way to go -those who lack integrity and will do whatever asked of them regardless of the law or morality
Yes. It's a Coup.
Jimmy Kimmel is out of a job but an alcoholic, adulterer is heading the Department of "War" not to mention all the other clowns Our Dear Leader surrounds himself with.
Bill Kristol quotes a veteran journalist who warns that the current president's actions are seriously undermining the independence and apolitical tradition of the U.S. military. What does it mean when senior commanders are feeling unprecedented anxiety? Are we at a dangerous turning point?
Trump is using our government departments to serve his personal desires. It should send a chill up everyone’s spine to know that he is calling the Defense Department the War Department and is putting troops in the streets.
“In nearly four decades of reporting and writing, I have never seen commanders so concerned about issues that could tarnish the U.S. military’s independence and standing. They swear an oath to the Constitution, not a president, and they don’t want to break it.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
It’s darkly comic to see a candidate for US Congress getting slammed to the ground on camera while a bunch of people are sitting around trying to assess how “protected” from policing someone is for being online and working in corporate law.

fascism has one tool and it's a stick and they hit you with it and when you say stop they say no and hit you harder and when you look like you're gonna fight back, they hit you again and when you give in they keep hitting you until you're dead there's no middle ground with fascism
🚨 ICE is escalating their violence and gross abuses of power. What has to happen? A single day march is not going to stop daily violence. Everyone who can be out there daily, needs to be out there daily — myself included, when they come here, and they will. 1/2

The clock is ticking. October 6 is 17 days away. If there's no deal for teachers before then, teachers will be on strike.

General strike needed.
From the DM’s… We’re told that The Association of Academic Staff of the University of Alberta has also hit a wall in bargaining with the government & will be applying for a supervised strike vote. Seems Dani is hellbent on going to war with as many unions as possible! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Tim Cartmell and Better Edmonton are cheating. They're intentionally breaking election signage rules, and they're happy to use their large corporate donations to make any fines go away. They believe in a city where rules do not apply to the rich and powerful #yegvote
Egale Canada & Skipping Stone call on all to see this for what it is: an abuse of power by the government. This action will go down in history as a disgraceful betrayal of the people they are sworn to serve. ➡️ Call, email and write to your MLA and the Premier & let them know this can not stand.
Premier Smith had downplayed & denied any intention of invoking the notwithstanding clause to protect its transphobic legislation from being struck down. Now, behind closed doors, internal government documents confirm their plan to strip away the fundamental rights of Albertans, particularly youth.

She and her Republican friends are tearing down our Province brick by brick and still people cheer her it's fucking mindboggling.
Smith is probably already planning to simply ban public sector strikes and impose contracts.
Here is who Danielle listens to, NOT ALBERTANS - she is turning us into the U.S. The U.S. wants our resources and she is handing it to them - we are already losing our freedoms, starting with the children and marginalized #StopDanielleSmith

Women and children always pay the price when govts start restricting healthcare. Next step will be suggesting that "private" will cover the gaps in public healthcare (no matter that private is more expensive). We've seen this playbook before.
So much for "Public Service". #NeverVoteConservative
From the DM’s… Medicine Hat has no obstetrical coverage for the entire weekend. While Danielle Smith goes to war with teachers and trans kids, Alberta’s 7th largest city has no obstetricians available to deliver babies. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I see Global as a conservative news organization. And this guy leans Maple Maga. Makes sense to me.

Antifa is a label for a decentralized movement and tactic, not an “organization” in any formal sense. Treating it like a singular group with command structures is misleading — often a political framing used to create a “boogeyman” for the right.
