Here I am at the iPolitics awards with my Alberta Senate colleague Patti LaBoucane-Benson. I won for best Senate speaker - but Patti won for Senator of the Year! Alberta girls getting things done! #SenateofCanada #Alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli @senindepend.bsky.social

No, Ted Cruz is not Canadian, but he was born in Calgary, Canada, in 1970. At the time, his mother was an American citizen who was working in Canada, which made him a natural-born U.S. citizen. He was also a Canadian citizen by birth until he formally renounced it in 2014.

YouTube video by Canadian History Ehx The Winnipeg General Strike

The Winnipeg General Strike was the largest strike in Canadian history.
For five weeks in 1919, 30,000 workers brought Winnipeg to a halt.
The strike changed Canadian history forever.
This is the story of that strike.

Forget 24 hour libraries, I want library branches (open normal hours) with social workers, nurses, and psychologists on staff.

They have a point, but switching him out for another person of similar values isn't going to make much of a difference. I wouldn't trust anyone currently well known in the CPC as PM. They are all too beholden to the far-right for my liking. They should never have let the Reforms into the fold IMO.

Screen cap of Jen’s tweet from March 2024 that says “we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, but everyone is only abled until they’re not. So you should respect disabled people because empathy, but also because you will eventually become disabled too”.

Saying it again.

Good luck with that. 😜I asked for a video of my hip replacement surgery and was turned down🙁

Please just send him these with no comment

Nothing’s stopping them from getting their followers to recall any/all NDP MLA’s to get rid of or attempt to any opposition.

Google it 🤓

Yeah they’re doing their best to discourage people from voting (similar to discouraging vaccines).

Unelected officials with unlimited power. Interesting.

To fully appreciate how people can live in an absolute information free bubble, know that there were parents in Alberta who sent their kids to school today; some blissfully ignorant, some because of language barriers.

Also know the striking teachers sorted it out for parents.

Unpaid.

I’m seeing some pretty weird takes on the 20% cuts at Imperial Oil.

“It’s Ottawa’s fault!”

“It’s Danielle’s fault!”

O&G majors have been downsizing, cost cutting and even pulling out of AB for years. Automation and weakening oil prices are contributing factors. It’s the nature of the business. 🤷🏼

🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m seeing a number of School Trustee candidates avoid direct questions about any links they have to Take Back Alberta by stating they don’t know who they are

Even if I take the answer as honest & not obfuscation, I can’t vote for someone who is that oblivious to threats to education in Alberta.

Airline Companies are big money are they not?

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

How many signatures are needed to trigger a recall ?

News article: “Province eliminates 'cash cow' photo radar on ring roads, including Stoney Trail”

News article: “Stoney Trail has become a raceway, with 'extremely aggressive' drivers clocked at up to 195 km/h”

No one could have predicted this.
