Albertans don't want division. As proud Canadians, we reject separatism.
YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi Albertans don't want division. As proud Canadians, we reject separatism.

Nearly half a million Albertans have said it loud and clear: we’re proud Canadians.

It’s time for the UCP to admit they were wrong and join us in denouncing separatism once and for all.

There is always a worse choice on the ballot.

I know that no politician represents me completely, but I also know that I must do all I can to not allow the worst of the worst to become my government.

By not voting you make it easier for the worst candidates to rule

Tomorrow, from 9 AM to noon, St. Albert students are organizing a walk-out and a march in support of Teachers.

As a dad, former Teacher and education minister, I support this. Missing school is warranted in support of social justice and civil right.

I’ll join them.

The goal has been to show that public education is broken, how it's not working for the children

The way to show that is to break public education.

Then push for private schools where people in influence are able to grift from the decision they make (American style).

We are all being played!

Thousands of Alberta separatists rally at the Legislature grounds, and I'll be honest - I don't love it.

@supriya.bsky.social asks me to "Albertasplain" what's going on...

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.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ 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 Alberta’s future is in Canada.πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
β€œFACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new β€œweapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Canadian mainstream media are owned by huge American hedgefunds who support Trump. The goal is to look neutral and unbiased while continuing to push the Trump/PP propaganda. They are never going to call it out

The amount of cars we build and people employed by it must justify higher consumer prices (Chinese cars are cheaper) and retaliatory tariffs on Conola etc.

If cars companies are shifting their operations the squeeze isn't worth the amount of juice we're getting

If they are going to stop building the cars in Canada, importing Chinese cars can't hurt any more. Maybe Chinese facilities can he built here.

As for security, I don't feel any safer with American tech companies having all of our info. America is no less a threat these days and we must face that

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. πŸ™ƒ

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

Professor Stephen Macedo: How Does it Feel to Have Elevated MAGA/MAHA Propagandists? The fault is not yours alone. You were just a bit player in a larger misinformation media ecosystem that was devoted to rewriting the history of the pandemic, numbing people to the grave risk We Want

It *may* be dawning on the author of β€œIn COVIDs Wake” that he’s done nothing but elevate MAHA/MAGA propaganda while faking being a β€œprogressive.”

This is also true for every credulous news organization that platformed his revisionist history.

My latest.

In line 20 minutes at my regular poll. Someone who just voted said we are looking at 2 hours on the way out. I can’t tell if the new UCP rules are to dissuade us from voting, break the system so they can claim it needs privatization or just another example of their incompetence.

I’ve seen a lot of rallies at the Alberta Legislature, but today’s Teachers’ rally had to be the biggest one.

#ForeverCanadian volunteers were there, collecting signatures.

Teachers, thank you for your support!!!
