Delivering results: 2025 fall session As fall session begins, Alberta’s government is focused on getting results that matter: better health care, stronger classrooms and safer communities.

β€œAs well, there will be legislation proposed to protect regulated professionals from undue discipline that violates their rights and freedoms for matters outside their work.”

I see the UCP is introducing the Jordan Peterson Law For People Who Refuse To Stop Being Racist and Transphobic At Work.

This is going to be an issue in Alberta, with a government that is happy to turn our beautiful province into Mordor. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.

This is far more reserved than I would be. If California hadn’t closed the highway there would have been a ton of traffic on that road, and a lot of people could have been hurt. Vance is a fucking idiot.

The whole thing as a vanity exercise to demonstrate a show of force before the No Kings events.

DOD had said that firing bombs over a highway was safe; state officials disagreed and shut down the highway, used by about 80K people daily. Turns out the state officials were right.

Incredible reporting from @infinitejaz.bsky.social from the West Bank. Video of a settler ambush over in his stories. Extremely harrowing.

I’ve had a few people ask me who I’m voting for tomorrow. Here is my list:

Mayor: @andrewknack.bsky.social
Ward Papastew: @michaeljanz.bsky.social
EPSB Ward G: Saadiq Sumar

Also, for those living in EPSB Ward C, @hollyfortrustee.bsky.social is the way to go.

Happy voting!

Watching Red Zone today and have had to watch Andy Dalton, Carson Wentz, Tyrod Taylor, Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, Spencer Rattler, Quinn Ewers and Kenny Pickett play quarterback. The games have been as bad as you’d expect.

Premier Danielle Smith urges business community to hire younger Albertans | CBC News Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told an Edmonton Chamber of Commerce event Thursday that while the latest youth unemployment numbers were heartening, she was still concerned they were too high.

I thought the corporate tax cut and low minimum wage was supposed to do that all on their own πŸ€” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Feds and provinces should be working together to recruit the hell out of the talent currently avoiding the U.S. Instead they’re still talking about pipelines and public sector employment like it’s 1996.

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

Spent the morning listening to some class Ace tracks. β€œStrutter,” β€œCold Gin,” β€œDeuce,” β€œLove Gun,” β€œDetroit Rock City.” Just great fucking riffs. Even the disco riffs of β€œI Was Made for Lovin’ You,” and β€œNew York Groove” slap. RIP, Spaceman.

Stop watching. It’s what I did. Don’t give them money or your time. Only time I watch now is when family is over and wants to watch. Was hard for a bit but doesn’t even phase me now.

Looking at the money going to Cartmell, it’s not the UCP connection that worries me. It’s the money coming in from developers, BILD and the OEG. Media should be looking at which things these groups lobby for, and who votes in their favour. Start with the recent CRL/outdoor concert venue decisions.

The climate crisis is fuelling extreme fires across the planet It’s clear – climate change is supercharging the world’s wildfires in unpredictable and devastating ways.

The climate crisis is fuelling extreme fires across the planet

In the past year, an area of land over 3.7 M kmΒ², larger than India, was burned worldwide. >100 M people were affected by these fires, and homes and infrastructure worth US$215 billion were at risk.

Well said. I will be voting for him. He solidified that by calling in person and asking and talking to me about the issues -first time a politician has ever done that.
