The Jasper Wildfire review is damningly clear about one thing: the UCP government exploited a life-and-death moment to play political games.

And in their response to this report, rather than accepting responsibility and promising to do better, they lash out, insult others, and refuse any blame.

“How dare they lose their homes and livelihoods in an horrific wildfire without making ME the hero of their story”

~Danielle Smith, probably

A salutary reminder of what happens when a government puts bashing the feds above protecting and supporting the most vulnerable members of our communities.

Historians and political scientists spend decades trying to determine the influence of money in politics and Musk just tweets out "I bought the election"

I sure do love living in the midst of a persistent exposure zone thanks to the failure of my neighbours to do the right thing and get vaccinated. But freedom, amirite?

Another @carrietait.bsky.social scoop.

Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

As a protest against politicians being in charge of election rules, the Longest Ballot folks are organizing to run 200 candidates in the by-election in which Poilievre will be running.

They recently ran 91 candidates in Poilievre's previous riding.

I am the President

The Premier is addressing Albertans live at 3pm on Monday to discuss the future of Alberta in Confederation.

Nothing that I saw or heard today suggests a groundswell of angst among Albertans. Neither do polls.

If she speaks of a crisis on Monday, it's likely imagined or manufactured.

Doug Ford is a stupid person, with stupid ideas.

Who among us has not shared classified information about forthcoming military strikes with journalists, spouses, and siblings. And likely on a private cel phone. If it was anybody else within the Defense Department they would be fired (and perhaps charged), but not the Secretary.

I KNEW this was a quota issue.

The corruption and incompetence is staggering.

‘Show Me Where You Make Autism!’ Shouts RFK Jr., Storming Sour Patch Kids Factory EAST HANOVER, NJ—As part of the health secretary’s highly publicized pledge to determine the cause of the disorder in the next five months, a wild-eyed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly shouted “Show me where autism is made!” Thursday while storming the Sour Patch Kid factory. “Attention Sour Patch Factory people: Give me the autism and no […]

Watching Trump throw a full-blown tantrum because Harvard told him no. 🍿

Tweet from @TheMaineWonk calling out a statement by Donald Trump as an “insane lie,” shown above Trump’s tweet claiming record U.S. tariff revenue, falling prices on goods including gas and groceries, and reduced inflation, ending with “Promises Made, Promises Kept!”

The lies are coming faster and more desperately these days. Keep pressing, friends.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Alberta UCP boots former cabinet minister from caucus for health scandal criticism EDMONTON - Alberta's United Conservative Party has expelled its former infrastructure minister from caucus over his repeated criticism of the government's handling of the health-care contract scandal.

And bring down the governments that screwed this up (in UK and everywhere). Your mental health is mostly predicated on having an environment that protects rights.

Harvard’s NO is clear.

I wish it was snarkier, in the way an English Chair would respond to the tiniest slight in a department meeting, but this is pretty good for a bunch of university governors.

This letter is absolutely mind-blowingly atrocious. I could barely get through the paragraphs that demanded the end to academic freedom. No one, absolutely NO ONE, who has ever taught at a university could accept this government intrusion.

Next 12 days will be bananas. And sometimes bananas isn’t good. 🤬
