I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Alberta leads again!

Since getting elected, the UCP has been working hard to make sure the healthcare system in Alberta is pushed to the breaking point so Albertans will beg for privatization.

Thanks to our anti-vaccine and anti-science policies, we’re on our way!

This is worth a read. There's a strong tendency to dismiss all anti-vaxxers as thoughtless or dumb, and having interviewed Lydia I can attest she is neither. What she does do is speak to fear, finding community and the psychological discomfort of abandoning a core truth she thought she knew.

WARNING!!!

It’s been brought to our attention that a fake website exists, misleading that the #ForeverCanadian petition can be signed online. With a laptop, they’re visiting senior homes.

Official @ElectionsAB petition must be signed on paper and this badge must be presented.

Danielle Smith was elected to a Calgary school board. It had to be dissolved.

Smith became the leader of the WRP. It imploded.

Smith joined the PC party. It no longer exists.

What do you think she's going to do Alberta?

This is excellent journalism, told with some warmth, wit, and humanity, with a special sense of irony.

Provided Thomas's group is able to meet a few administrative requirements over the next month, theirs will be the only allowable petition on the question of Alberta's place in Confederation.

This effectively blocks Alberta Prosperity Project's bid to launch their petition on separation.

Watch the John Oliver episode on AI slop before you share those cutesy photos and bullshit headlines, okay thanks bye.

Alberta as we know it today simply would not exist without the millions of immigrants and refugees who built it, who loved it, and who were proud to call it home - including my grandparents and my mum. This bitter xenophobia is as unAlbertan as it’s possible to be. I’m ashamed. I’m disgusted.

Nothing compares to Alberta In an incredible workaround to avoid accountability, Alberta is moving to "hospital-based leadership".

The Stink of BS at Premier Smith’s Coal Town Hall | The Tyee The rowdy meeting’s air reeked of government deception. Locals were having none of it.

“Political bullshit, by the way, is defined as “persuasive communication that has no regard for truth, knowledge or evidence.” And that’s what Smith and her deferential companions delivered shamelessly.”

Most Albertans, including healthcare workers, will now have to pay to get a COVID vaccine.

Danielle Smith promised Albertans would never have to pay out of pocket for the medical treatment they need. She lied.

Such a cruel, dangerous, anti-science, anti-public health decision.

Make it make sense.

Time magazine cited Blankets as #1 Best Comics in 2003.

Thank you.

Paula Simons: My Canada includes Alberta | CBC News The independent senator and former journalist says we shouldn't let the whiners and quitters take over our political discourse.

In 2019, the last time Alberta was awash in separatist nonsense, CBC Calgary commissioned me to write this essay. I re-read it today - and it seems to me as true as ever. And I thought this weekend might be a good time to share it with you, my new Bluesky friends. #Alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg
