Globe editorial: The questions unanswered in Alberta’s health care procurement controversy The province has called off negotiations for two private surgical facilities, but the mystery surrounding the government’s actions remains

“An RCMP probe is continuing. Mr. Wylie is still labouring to finish his report before next April, when his term expires, since the government has rebuffed his request for an extension.”

Corb Lunds petition for the government to outright ban coal mining in the eastern slopes has been approved!

Now the CFO is selected and then signature collection can begin!

Man charged after guns, Nazi flag seized from Lloydminster home: Alberta RCMP | Globalnews.ca Alberta RCMP say one man has been charged with wilful promotion of hatred and other offences after officers seized several guns and a flag bearing a swastika from a home.

Tis the season to remind those who spout bigotry that Canada does NOT have free speech
We have freedom of expression
& we hate speech laws

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

“Predictably, the troglodytic reactionaries of Pierre Poilievre’s Trump Party of Canada have been screaming bloody murder about infringements on free speech. Of course, the free speech they advocate for is the variety found on Young Republican group chats.” @taylornoakes.com

Energy East wasn't blocked by Quebec. This is revisionist history. It never got that far.
It was abandoned because Keystone XL was back on the table, and the proponent couldn't fill both pipelines. #PnPCBC

I've emailed & written letters to my MLA
I used to get a form letter back
I don't get any replies now
IMO, the UCP MLAs are NOT listening
They don't care what we think
They only care about their base
They dismiss everything, even the Forever Canadian Referendum w/ 400K signatures
I'm invisible

How dare you imply that some politician has to tell me to be angry with the UCP
I don't need anyone to do that
I know what the UCP are doing
I've read in the news the bills they are passing
The UCP are NOT Lougheed's conservatives
& I guess I'm not the only one, hence the recalls

Braid: The recall movement is political poison but no longer just an Alberta oddity Alberta's recall movement keeps growing. It's no longer just an oddity, even though politicians avoid it like the plague.

🔥 The Recall movement isn't a "leftist" stunt; it's pure citizen fury fighting for democracy and rights. The UCP MLAs have such hubris. Pundits are shocked how genuinely angry the province is. Recalls will hurt these MLAs more than they think. #ABpoli #ABLeg 1/2

Governments Make Laws, Judges Interpret Them Albertans need to shout that message to their power-hungry premier

Governments Make Laws, Judges Interpret Them

Judicial independence is a cornerstone of representative government.

@abdaniellesmith would like you to think otherwise.

The UCP will claim that pushing through coal mines is about jobs
What about the farmers, ranchers and everybody living downstream of those mines, how are they going to live when the UCP poison their water?
What's the point of having a job when poisoned water makes us and our children sick?

Why is the UCP pushing open-pit mines in the Rockies, threatening water and agriculture in rural and southern Albertans?

Businesses are innovating with technology, allowing steel to be made without coal, and coal royalties are among the lowest in Alberta.

This makes no sense #ableg

I can't see a way out of this Trump mess in the USA without violence

These ICE goons aren't going to just give up and answer for their crimes
These are the same people who stormed the capitol to keep Trump as president

Every Friday I try & post opportunities to sign the recall petitions
I've noticed that not all of them make their signing opportunities readily available
If the petitions don't collect enough signatures they are dead
It's the biggest hurdle
At this rate not all of them will be successful

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Paramount chief reportedly promised Trump ‘sweeping changes’ at CNN after WBD deal David Ellison’s father has also brought up with White House officials which CNN anchors they’d like to get rid of if Paramount were to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery.

So the whole Netflix/Paramount deal isn't about streaming or any of that, it is all about the gutting of CNN and turning it into just another Fox News to control the primary narratives! www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

David Ellison reportedly told Trump he’d make “sweeping changes” to CNN if Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. gets approved.

Meanwhile, Jared Kushner and three Middle East countries are backing the bid — while Kushner advises Trump on foreign policy.

Corruption on display.

Destroyed healthcare
Stole Albertans pensions
Defunded education
Took away teachers' right to strike
Took away healthcare rights from trans kids
Want to poison our water
& are trying to separate Alberta from Canada

Atlas Network: Disinformation as a Weapon of Neoliberalism The organization, founded in 1981, has 589 think tanks in 103 countries that finance the hatred and hoaxes of the extreme right. The objective: to protect the privileges of capital owners.

Freedom ?

"This classification criminalizes regulations on alcohol or tobacco, a criterion that makes it clear what these think tanks mean by "freedom": the possibility of extracting economic benefits without limits, even when public health is at risk."
