Alberta government hiding additional drug jail plans Newly obtained documents reveal a hidden plan to build a drug jail in Grande Prairie, raising questions about how many additional facilities are in the works.

The Alberta government has repeatedly insisted that its drug jails (β€œsecure care” Compassionate Intervention facilities) will be only a measure of last resort.

But this finding suggests they have bigger plans β€” apparently, space for 300 adults won’t be enough.

Jeet Heer @HeerJeet:
For whatever neurodivergent reason, Musk is incapable of talking in code and innuendo, which makes his exchanges with Epstein interesting. In this case, the dialogue went something like this:
Epstein: do you want to come over to my place for a party, I'll have many interesting people during UN general assembly
Musk: (taking Epstein literally) not interested in meeting diplomats, too busy.
Epstein: do you think I am retarded? Just kidding.
There is no one over 25 and all very cute.

Cross-posting this comment from Jeet Heer over on Twitter. It really is kind of funny that Musk is just totally unable to pick up on code and innuendo.

There was a CPC guy with a lanyard wandering around downtown with a selfie stick doing a video in an area with a big homeless population, whining about it. I doubt he was from here.

Here’s a $75,000 contract Hootsuite sold to Calgary police for social media surveillance in 2023.
Not sure why anyone would be interested in that though.

Calgary Stampede security ejected PressProgress Alberta reporter @stephenmag.bsky.social after Alberta separatist leader Jeffrey Rath walked out of an interview

Stephen had questioned Rath's claim that Mark Carney was "threatening war on the United States" and invoked "Article 5 of the NATO treaty"

Funny how quickly the commitment to β€œfreedom” disappears for this type of conservative when it’s tested. Derek is like β€œI’m libertarian but I want to import death squad tactics to make my neighbours disappear.”

It’s almost like Libertarianism is a fake astroturf ideology for annoying guys

I can't shake the feeling that something happened to Scott Adams' head after the 90's. He was always angry, but then he had a rare unspecified disease that made it so he couldn't speak, went and wrote far right turner diaries books and got super racist online.
