As the president of a national charity that works very, very hard to remain compliant with CRA rules, this kind of thing is enraging. It corrodes faith that Canadians have in the charitable system, that charitable numbers are given to organizations that are abiding by their charitable objects.

I still can’t believe these construction workers, when asked if they were building the bike lanes, told a mom and two kids (who super excited to see them built) that bike lanes are too expensive and the city shouldn’t be building them.🤨

They are literally selling out their livelihood! 🤦‍♂️

this is the jacket's breast pocket lining pulled up to make it look like a pocket square

Well, I told people. A group of the supposed "vicious compliance" trustees are backing a list of candidates including an antivax flat earther religious fundamentalist, someone who has lied about her job history, and a man who had outright said he wants to exclude trans girls from sports.

The simple lesson from all of this is that cops don't make people feel safe. Housing, less inequality, and fewer dangerous cars zooming by makes people feel safe.

Support clubs and live music on Jasper Ave by closing a lane of traffic, thanks in advance

'Absolute disaster': Inaction on the arts, Downtown Edmonton night life slammed at mayoral forum Downtown Business Association CEO calls current council's handling of downtown and arts files an 'absolute disaster'

The right-wing candidates somehow using the way walkability is important for a nightlife district to call for more parking is really incredible though edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

i don't love the DBA putting the current council on blast for poorly supporting the arts when they are doing so to advocate for more cops and a worse mayor #yegcc

Alberta's crude oil production hit an all-time high in July 2025, reaching 4.32 million barrels per day, but the province still has one of the highest unemployment rates in Canada at 8.4%. Pumping more oil with less workers helps the corporation shareholders but doesn’t help working Albertans.

im obv extremely pro "everyone should exercise if they can" and "we can't cede fitness culture to the right" but an obsession with the aesthetics and optimization of the body will eventually get you there i'm sorry to say

Drivers are gonna lose their shit whether we remove 5 parking spots for bike lanes or 50 so we may as well just remove 50

Imagine claiming the Alberta Next Panel is about ensuring respect from Ottawa and ensuring all voices are heard, and then you yell at a young Albertan publicly that he needs to be spanked for asking a fair question and expressing an opinion.

Absolute peak hypocrisy.

I am noticing an uptick in a certain flavour of liberal politician—even here in Canada—thinking that they're doing the Zohran Mamdani thing on social media, while entirely missing what the actual appeal of his content is.

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

I'm so glad you said this, because about 30 seconds ago, I published a newsletter piece detailing how conservatives have dump-trucked through all of the previously established common sense, nuanced, compromise positions on trans rights to get here: burns-notice.ghost.io/what-would-t...

i would like for the elected officials to do their jobs and stop this bullshit fucking forthwith and not rely on my kind hearted but dim theatre kid neighbors to stop a ground invasion through the power of improv

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

BREAKING Kneecap Not Banned from Canada. Sources Inside Prime Minister Carney's Office Confirm MP Vince Gasparro Went Rogue; Liberals Trying to Hush Story

OTTAWA, ON - In a dramatic turn of events on a day already marked by major announcements - Canada's recognition of Palestinian statehood and the tabling of a new federal hate crimes bill - sources inside the Prime Minister's Office have confirmed that Irish rap group Kneecap was never officially banned from Canada, despite Liberal MP Vince Gasparro's public statements. According to a senior PMO insider, Gasparro went rogue in making the announcement, lied about receiving authorization from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and may have committed a serious breach of the federal Privacy Act, an unprecedented scandal in Canadian history. "The PMO explicitly asked MP Gasparro whether he had IRCC's authorization to make his announcement - he said yes. That was false," the source confirmed. "No decision had been made by IRCC or the PMO. His statement was completely unauthorized."

Kneecap was never actually banned from Canada and the Liberal MP who announced it has GONE ROGUE??????

What the fuck!!!!

This is unhinged!!!!

Why are all the big Alberta unions folding without a fight?

retaking my alberta proserve cert and the course is way worse than it used to be im honestly astonished

My favourite gm technique is getting up from the table to go get a drink when the group has to make an impactful decision

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to sit at and organize a game table and this is a big part of it! A lot of what I like about the old-school structure is the ways that it demands intra-party discussion and planning and gives other ppl at the table authority

Judith Butler is being targeted by the US government. We must stand up | Joel Swanson What is happening to Judith Butler – a Jewish intellectual – in the name of fighting ‘antisemitism’ is outrageous

"In the name of 'fighting antisemitism', the Trump administration is publicly making an example out of arguably the most famous Jewish public intellectual in the country today."

One of the worst parts of American policy is we're obsessed with things they want SOCIAL consequences for, and how that interacts with material issues.

Like, a lot of people who are pro-life are not actually pro-life but are just mad there's inadequate levels of shame for getting abortions.

I aspire to both personal independence and democratic citizenship as matters of my own self respect and I do think that embracing either bargain betrays an absence of the fortitude and dignity that I expect of adults. But many people are very tired and not at all brave.

Selfie at $42m pedway. That’s 42% of the active transportation investment that seems to never be accepted. I hear next to zero commentary about this pedway.

A very unbalanced onus placed on the Palestinians by Carney.

- Canada not demanding Israel to demilitarize.
- Canada not demanding Israel to exclude its genocidal leadership from future elections.
- Canada not demanding Israel to end occupation of illegal settlements in Palestinian territory.

Hip-hop group Kneecap barred from entering Canada | CBC News The hip-hop trio Kneecap has been deemed ineligible to enter Canada, Parliamentary Secretary for Combating Crime Vince Gasparro said in a video posted to his X account on Friday.

This is fucking bullshit!

"MP says group 'has engaged in actions and have made statements that are contrary to Canadian values and laws'." Oh, I see, opposing genocide in Palestine is "contrary to Canadian values and laws." Vince Gasparro is a fuuuuucking coward.
