Well, I’m a political junkie, so having been to the Parliament Buildings is kind of a badge of honour for me. Unfortunately, that was when I was in high school; a VERY LONG TIME AGO. I didn’t appreciate it as much then as I do now.

I believe I’ve only been in the airport there. I’ve been to Ottawa, for a tour through the Parliament Buildings, but that’s it.
Yep. A good friend of mine recently moved home after living in Toronto for years.
Tell that to the seniors living in long term care homes through the pandemic. Of course, it’s going that way here.
…he’s just made alcohol available in convenience stores.
At least he hasn’t ordered the US alcohol back on to shelves, unlike Smith and Moe.
Yeah…we’re concerned #DumpsterDani might pull a “Ford” and call an early election to grab an extra few years to destroy our province. But, yes…I wouldn’t want to live in #DrugFraud’s Ontario.
Manitoba has the best premier in Canada, imo. The province has seen a population increase recently. I wish Wab Kinew was my premier! #DumpsterDani can go back to Mar-a-lago to be with her pedophile friend (who has absolutely no clue who she is).
I’ve heard the last line be, “Not the one I’m looking for.”
Hopefully, he doesn’t wake up tomorrow. 🙏
Edmonton-Strathcona, however, is like a different world. It’s been the safest NDP seat in Canada in the past three federal elections, and has been an NDP-stronghold since 2008.
Lack of education. At this time, due to the UCP’s cuts, Alberta ranks last in per student funding. Just as Republicans have been doing for decades in the US, the UCP are underfunding education to keep the electorate stupid.
And, west of Ontario, “Liberal” is basically a four letter word.
All of Edmonton’s MLAs are NDP, and the NDP won the popular vote in Calgary in the last provincial election, but then there’s rural Alberta, where they keep voting for people who drink on the job and like to sexually harass their staffers.
They launched a program this year to get monthly donors. The UCP refused to pay $80 million worth of property taxes from 2021-2024 though, so the municipal government has had to raise property taxes on us.
It ran for 11 days, and ended last Sunday.
Our GOVERNMENTS, particularly those at the provincial level (since education is under their jurisdiction) need to acknowledge this and start investigating more in education. But, with most provincial governments being Conservative, I doubt they care.
ABC News - #cdnpoli "From northern border towns to major hot spots like Las Vegas, popular travel destinations reported hosting fewer foreign visitors this summer, a trend analysts warn could persist well into the future. Make no mistake. It's going to last! 🖕
That’s an understatement. Yes…”Festival City.”
Meanwhile, I was born and raised in a conservative city where (almost) everybody voted Conservative, but couldn’t tell you why.
I’m back in Alberta now. The capital. And, our premier, #DumpsterDani Smith wants to be tRump when she grows up.
Okay…you knew the two male teachers were gay? You must be younger than I am. I grew up in a small conservative city. Looking back, I’m sure my grade 3 teacher was a lesbian. We’d always ask if she had a boyfriend. The answer was always, “No,” but she sure talked a lot about her “roommate.”
I was born in Saskatchewan, and went to university in Saskatoon, but raised in Alberta.
Think about it; who’s more likely to get the promotion; a woman who has taken three years of maternity leave over six years, or a male employee who hasn’t taken any leave of absence during the same period of time? This kind of thing directly exacerbates the gender wage gap.
Really? In Alberta, teachers and the provincial government are having trouble reaching a contract, and the union representing the teachers claim 85% of their members are women. The first time I had a male teacher was in grade 6.
Canada doesn’t offer 18 months of paid leave, to encourage men to stay home after the first year, like Sweden does.
I’m a childless cat lady, so I don’t know, but giving birth has to be very difficult on someone’s body, so I’m guessing that may have an influence on a woman’s decision to take maternity leave. Nonetheless, we don’t offer BOTH, one after the other, like they do in Sweden.
When I was a kid, we had a nanny. My mother was very career-oriented. My dad was the one who had the traditional “women’s job,” as a teacher. He was always home before my mom, and he usually made supper so they could get us off to our extra-curricular activities in the evening.
Men often don’t take parental leave because, traditional “men’s jobs” tend to pay more than traditional “women’s jobs” and families need that additional income to support their families. I believe the last time I Googled it, the gender wage gap in Canada had women earning 88 cents on a man’s dollar.
Poilievre is a liar! #cdnpoli
🎀🎀
Yeah, but how many of them actually take it? In Sweden, men are offered 6 months paid parental leave (after the mother takes maternity leave).
Texas isn’t THAT bad. They have quite a few Blue pockets. ALABAMA would be a better description.
Same thing here in Alberta. #DumpsterDani wants to be tRump when she grows up.
🔥🔥🔥 Carney on Poilievre - “I honestly believe he disdains much about the country. It’s pretty awkward for him now that the country is coming together. He’s trying to find a flag to wrap himself in & play patriot. The last refuge of a scoundrel, the last time I checked.” #cdnpoli
Man pardoned for Jan 6 offenses gets life in prison in separate case Kelley created a "kill list" of FBI agents & others who investigated his role in Jan 6. He "distributed the list—with videos of images of FBI employees identified on the list—to co-conspirator" www.cbsnews.com/news/edward-...
And, after maternity leave, they have “parental leave,” to encourage men to stay home with their children. On my bus tour through Stockholm, there were MANY men out with their toddlers.

Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.
The WAPO published a leaked document outlining a plan to forcibly displace all 2 million residents of Gaza and place the territory under U.S. trusteeship for "at least" 10 years. In other words, ethnic cleansing, a "final solution" done IN OUR NAMES...Y'all think real carefully about that.
Never trust a Republican! #Epstein #PedoPrez
I wonder where the pedophileOTUS got the idea for all the tacky "gold" he's put all over the White House. 🤔 Epstein's fireplace:
Let’s just pray that, this time, he doesn’t ALWAYS CHICKEN OUT. At least not in this case.
Well, yeah. That’s a given any time the Republikkkans are there.
Now we finally understand! He was just showing his supporters what he'd look like in a decade from then! 🤷♀️ He had to practice for now so they'd get used to seeing him this way!
On this Labor Day, show your ❤️ for unions!

What do you mean? He's been hanging out with his soulmate and the couch fucker all weekend!
Don't forget the big buckets full of grease!
No kidding. What happened to his "luxuriant" hair?
What do you mean? The White House shared this photo of their pedo-in-chief yesterday! It looks like the rest has done him good!
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Because SCIENCE!!
Pumpkin Spice came out last week at Starbucks, and the week before that at Tim Hortons. I may have already had a few...🎃🎃🎃

Thank you on this labor day!!
And, since America doesn't have a gun problem, why don't we get rid of that piece of bullet-proof glass he's always standing behind?

Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
The TRUE "Liberation Day"!!!
This is never going away, is it?
Wow! It seems as though he's lost 50 years over the past week! 😲 Well, that's enough proof for me!
