@ximenaka.bsky.social can I please ask where you heard about the rally? I didn’t hear about it at all! I’m also not on most other social media anymore and find that I’m having trouble hearing about rallies, etc.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but all permanent residents and temporary workers in Canada pay both federal and provincial taxes.

Alberta Premier defends fall referendum plans Danielle Smith stumbles when asked about costs of providing health care and education to newcomers; NDP says referendum proposals designed to inflame

www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... Premier Danielle Smith said she does not know how much newcomers cost Alberta’s health care and education systems, despite arguing that Ottawa’s immigration policies are jeopardizing her province’s finances.

Maybe. But a lot will continue to buy into her lies and other Trumpian methods. Please meet this moment as the crisis it is and present a bold alternate vision for Alberta.

This…

There is so much to unpack from Smith's TV address. It was a firehose of information. But one thing I need to emphasize. A referendum question to introduce an Alberta head tax on immigration!

Here's a 2024 letter from Danielle Smith to Justin Trudeau complaining about federal immigration limits affecting Alberta.

No due process, no remorse, no accountability. They love the sport of killing with immunity.

Advocacy groups to argue Alberta transgender legislation amounts to criminal prohibition Goal is to strike down law based on provincial, federal jurisdictional differences

Today, trans advocates “are back at the Court of King’s Bench in Calgary. They plan to argue that Alberta’s law is a criminal prohibition [an area of exclusive federal power], rather than one focused on health care under the province’s Health Professions Act.”

It's time to start tracking and naming the traitors in Alberta politics. Is your elected MLA a seditionist traitor?

It's easy to throw around the 3% number that @chenoweth.bsky.social has cited in their work, which is useful. The why, though, is what we're seeing in action. That everyday people begin to participate and blur the lines between an enforceable "us" or "them." That tide is turning.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Premier Danielle Smith: Declare a Health Care State of Emergency Demand real solutions–more beds, more staff, and public funding that keeps up with our population.

I joined this campaign because I believe we need a health care State of Emergency in Alberta. Can you take 30 seconds to join me and send a letter to the Premier too? stateofemergency.ca

Anti-racism watchdog fields complaint arising from immigration comments made at separatist town hall he complainant said Alberta Prosperity Project CEO Mitch Sylvestre made several inflammatory comments about immigrants during the town hall.

“Old stock white Canadians, and that’s us, and we don’t have to apologize for this room being filled with white people,” said Sylvestre. “This used to be what Alberta was. We’re not apologizing for being ourselves.”

Out loud now.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Alberta separatists are claiming the U.S. has promised military support if Alberta separates.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

I get that it’s frustrating, but it’s also really urgent.

This summary of the Bearspaw feeder main briefing is worth your attention, Calgary:

Overnight, our water use slipped further into the redzone. Without changes, we'll enter loss-of-life territory, where firefighting and emergency response may be compromised. This is serious. Reducing use now protects lives and keeps essential services running. Please conserve.

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.
