Thanks for this @klaszus.bsky.social. Seeing Calgarians lamenting these Olympics is maddening because it was known in 2018 that we couldn't afford it. "The bulk of those savings was found in security and essential services". Paris spent $2.32B on security in 2024. The 2018 entire estimate was $4.6B.

Danielle Smith defends plan to withhold funding for Alberta judges | Globalnews.ca Smith said during her call-in radio show she would rather get to a conclusion that's amenable, fair and includes parity in the appointment process.

We're only calling stuff like this 'fascism' cuz it is, you know.

#UCP does not have your best interests at heart.

(Via the FB)

This appears to be the "Second Sons", a white nationalist group organized by Jeremy McKenzie of Diagolon fame on a bridge in Alberta.

And it should be condemned universally.

Alberta cuts access to health care for some temporary workers, raising concerns in the Bow Valley | CBC News Alberta has stopped offering provincial health coverage to some people on working holiday and young professional visas, a change that came into effect earlier this year without a public announcement. ...

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has mused about cutting or limiting public services for temporary residents. It turns out that already happened last month with public health insurance www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #AbLeg #AbHealth

First, the UCP said there was an โ€œelection integrity crisis," which led to a voter ID law.

Then a โ€œnational unity crisisโ€ โ†’ a sovereignty referendum.

Now a โ€œcrisis of confidenceโ€ in the courts โ†’ defunding judges.

There is no evidence of these crises.

The UCP is trying to manufacture them.

Find the answer by using the @kenwhite.bsky.social principle. Works with most things but it was literally made for this moment.

Alberta seeks more input on picking judges Premier Danielle Smith says her government will withhold funding for new judicial appointments in Alberta until Ottawa allows the province to provide input on who is picked. In a letter to Prime Minis...

This is a monumentally irresponsible move. Whoever advised the premier should resign or be fired.

Smith shouldn't just withdraw the threat. She should apologize for threatening to cut off Albertans' access to their own justice system.

Tomorrow.

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story โ€” one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.

She keeps getting chances to show some loyalty to Canada -- and keeps turning them away in order to defend Alberta separatists and their cause.

It's who she is. It's time we all started saying it. #cdnpoli #abpoli
