Albertaโs UCP govโt raised education property tax revenue by 13.3% from 2020-2025 ($2.4B to $2.72B), with a 14% jump to $3.1B planned for 2025-26. Yet, theyโve funneled $2.4B from public education to fund private/charter schools serving just 7% of students. Not bad mathโby design. #ABpoli #ABLeg

Thinking eye contact will protect pedestrians is kinda missing the plot and putting more onus on the pedestrian to ensure the roads are safe. We don't need more cops running around policing minor infractions. Just build safer infrastructure.

Parties were introduced by a provincial party in order to destroy our civic government and make it less representative. It's no coincidence the only parties that formed as a consequence of this are far right conspiracy theorists.

It's a reference to waterways being under federal jurisdiction. They are correct about that - but no they aren't right about equalization. That's a different topic.

Cons speak in euphamisms, cause if they said the truth no one would vote for them. "parental choice" is a euphamism for "defund the public education system" and "vouchers" is a euphemism for "subsidize extremist religious cults by paying for their private schools, in gated communities."

ok but hear me out. What if we made cars drive themselves, and then put beds in them, and then sold all the houses and paved over the lots, and we just rolled from location to location endlessly moving in our car-bed?

Sharing one tastefully received message widely is much more effective than a million cringey or offensive memes. There is a reason society as moved away from agit-prop posters. It might have a resurgence right now, but it will be short lived and it's to our detriment.

They can also backfire. For every person you win with an agitation campaign you can lose the same number or more who find it annoying or distasteful. I've found myself muting allies who discovered they can make lazy propaganda using AI. I don't see it cause it's annoying.
