The nerve these people have

The whole โ€œdog bites manโ€ analogy is totally garbage, itโ€™s not every day that a government uses the notwithstanding clause.
This is absolutely, 100% newsworthy as it represents a significant shift towards authoritarianism.

When Kenney is lying, he has a tell: he uses a $5 word.

The only rights that the UCP seem to care about, courtesy of their DM of Justice, Malcolm Lavoie, are the so-called "property rights" of Australian coal companies.
In other words the non-constitutionally protected corporate property rights over real constitutionally protected human rights. #abpoli

I dunno, UCP Status of Women minister using a misogynistic expletive seems just about right to me.

Even as a symbol, letting Carney off on a half-hearted commitment to a pre-Trump world is laaaaame.

Weโ€™re totally not even gonna come close to the Paris commitments, and weโ€™re barely even virtue signaling.

Using power to compensate for inner weakness.
Albertans have got to stop freely handing their lunch money over to these bullies.

It will not surprise you to learn that many of these same countries are the ones moving to block the just transition mechanism--the thing that would actually help the world move away from fossil fuels--at #COP30

In the 2010s, Carney embraced climate finance.
In the 2020s, heโ€™s embraced boiling lakes.

The Rich List - Macleans.ca There's a new billionaire topping our list this year. Here are Canada's 40 wealthiest peopleโ€”and how they made their money.

This should make us all grab torches and pitchforks and start a revolution. Crypto billionaire Changpeng Xhao, ex-con recently pardoned by Trump, is now Canada's richest person according to the annual @macleans.bsky.social ranking: macleans.ca/longforms/th.... #cdnecon #canlab /2

A historic turning point for clean heating in Europe: For the first time, in the first half of 2025 sales of heat pumps in Germany have surpassed those of gas boilers.

This is a big milestone, demonstrating that the transition away from fossil fuels in our buildings is not just a future ambition.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come togetherโ€ฆ

Bill Gates hasnโ€™t made sense on Climate since he teamed up with Bjorn Lomberg in 2009. This is just a restating of Bjornโ€™s book from this year about how we have a finite amount of money and we shouldnโ€™t use it for climate. What they get wrong is that climate solutions are now fully profitable.

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertansโ€™ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Albertaโ€™s future is in Canada.๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

We did not take this step lightly, which is why Big Danielle lightly stepped to the other side of the world while we did it

'Hard decisions': Edmonton businesses hope for change despite familiar faces in council "The alternative of not working together is the bankruptcy of this city," said Edmonton Chamber of Commerce president, CEO, Doug Griffiths.

The Chamber of Commerce et al canโ€™t fathom why Edmontonians didnโ€™t overwhelmingly vote for their preferred candidates.
Or why Edmontonians despise the Chamberโ€™s preferred provincial party, which is currently waging war against public healthcare and education.

Winnipeg general strike - Wikipedia

Just posting this for no reason, and it has nothing to do with the UCP refusing to bargain with teachers in good faith. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Dreadful Dani needs to stare down the business end of a paralyzed province.
