briandewagner How very Canadian to lose the trophy but somehow earn all of the respect. I can't think of anything more sturdily Canadian than coming in second place but knowing that you won something bigger.

YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi If we want better, we have to elect a better government.

Albertans deserve better than an undemocratic, authoritarian government with an absent Premier.

The Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL) added a form to their website called Ready to Resist.

NDP leader Naheed Nenshi pulled few punches today…

Not only did he condemn Smith’s claim Peter Lougheed would support her attack on human rights…

He called her and the entire UCP caucus cowards.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith is using the notwithstanding clause to protect herself while crushing individuals' Charter rights.

That’s not freedom, that’s cowardice.

And Albertans won’t stand for it.

One of the largest rallies in Alberta's history.

25,000+ people. One message:
We stand for public education.

The only way to book COVID vaccines for young children in Alberta is by calling 811 / HealthLink.

Bookings opened Monday.

It’s now Friday and the system is still saying call volumes are too high and auto-hanging-up on callers. 🙃

(They also cost $100 a pop, if you can ever get through.)

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

Vaccines today. FLU and COVID. So very thankful.

ABMedicalAssoc today
"IF only 5% of people who should be vaccinated are deterred by costs, booking difficulty, etc
AND considering COVID at a 15% infection rate
THEN the addition hospital costs alone will exceed $65 million.

UCP math is not mathing

Looking a bit tired and with sniffles, here’s an update on the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus tour and on our signature count.

It’s looking really good, but we need to push it across the finish line. Keep in mind that some signatures may get rejected.

Thank you volunteers!

Coal royalties in 2024/25 were $15.5 million. The government has now paid out more than $200 million in claims to Australian mining companies for bungling this file.

The UCP quietly released the 3rd party report into CorruptCare on Friday afternoon, hoping it would get buried in news around the ATA strike and municipal elections.

Here's a reminder: Judge Wyant was given very narrow scope. The scandal involves wider political interference beyond policies.

We live in the greatest country.

slothgoesrunning Thinking this morning about how Pollievre lost an election, took time off to reflect on that loss, then made the choice to come back and just parrot Trump's devisive rhetoric. DEI. Mass Deportations. Birthright citizenship. Criminal charges against political rivals. It's all terrifying and we are underreacting to it.

"It’s all terrifying and we are underreacting to it."

...what she said...

Blockety block block BLOCK!!!

As much as Smith tried today to spin the children’s medication debacle as being the result of former premiers or leadership races or byelections…

It was all her idea.

How do we know?

She said so.

Judge Wyant’s report makes it clear: We need a full public inquiry into #CorruptCare.

From buying Turkish Tylenol that nobody needed to contracting out private surgeries to friends of the government, Albertans deserve better.

Unbelievable. Chills.

Tens of thousands of teachers converging downtown just outside where Danielle Smith is addressing an audience.

I’ve never seen anything like this.

Time to listen up, Premier.

Time for a fair deal.

We stand with teachers.

wheezy8103 Smith is prepared to squander more of our tax dollars to subsidize highly profitable oil and gas companies yet has the audacity to tell persons with disabilities, kids in our public schools, and over half a million Albertans waiting for health procedures that there is no money to address their needs. My question to the Premier: who exactly do you think you work for, Albertans or fossil-fuel industry CEOs? @ cbeca ANALYSIS | After losing billions of dollars on Keystone XL and tank cars, Alberta is pursuing another pipeline...

When people TELL you who they are, believe them...

jessicagriffin > Alberta Childcare is not the responsibility of teachers. Teachers’ jobs are to teach. The real problem is that governments offload every underfunded social service onto schools—expecting them to cover the gaps instead of actually investing in families and children. Don't blame teachers. Blame the government.

To the people who lent their credibility to this panel: are you having fun yet?

It might be time to resign while you can still salvage some of it.
