Haven't posted on here in a while how are all Alberta folks doing currently?

I'm on the phones and doors when I can! Always in support of a good candidate!

IE; They need to take massive actions to reform our economy for everyone, tax the richest among us and bring industry back to Canada.(Yes it can be done with high taxes on wealthy, look at 1940s and 50s) This duopoly of Canadian politics is precisely what put us into this bad position.

But it's the same reason I find the whole Federal/provincial NDP discussion in Alberta stupid, it gives into the conservatives narrative, and most studies have shown that strategic voting also helps conservative causes for sure. That is to say, the liberals are responsible for their own popularity.

I just want too see, but I also know they definitely aren't a party that will meet our moment on domestic needs, foreign policy is where they shine imo. I just want to see somebody who doesn't run to the center and shift the Overton window more rightward. Trudeau actually stood his ground better imo

Yeah, it seems like it's the party of not having original ideas, first thing they did was get rid of the carbon tax, most economists actually agree with the idea of it. Plus, it already didn't impact those who were struggling. What about the minister's they cut for diversity?

Yes, but on the doors they have been very unimpressed with the liberals especially in the local area. I at least don't think it will require only a change of candidate. Suprisingly over here the liberals actually poll higher than they do in Edmonton centre. But single Riding polls are often not good

Edmonton West already has a liberal candidate I thought, I feel that it may be tougher in centre then you think. But that's just what I've seen on the doors before

Going to have to update this to 'when a cis person tries to murder a trans person.'

Cis people, if more of us joined the fight, trans people & allies would have less work to do. Here in Canada I get updates from www.momentumcanada.net. And you can follow @faejohnstone.bsky.social to stay informed.

Literally this.

If you are a cis person, even if you are an expert in some field that affects trans people, and you *think* you know some facts about trans people, I can almost guarantee you believe some things that are insanely wrong.

Mexico Dares Trump to Try and See Havoc of Starting Tariff War The Mexican president has responded to Donald Trump’s tariff threat with one of her own.

New President of Mexico is kickass- and she is telling Trump that it's US weapons and US demand for drugs driving the drug cartels in Mexico.

And article notes that 88 percent of the fentanyl smugglers who were caught at the border were Americans- not migrants

As folks are coming over from X to BlueSky, let me just say this, don't we all enjoy the ability to just think on this platform and not be bombarded with ads, misinformation and hate speech, and even threats in our DMs? Feels peaceful here!

Reminder: I narrowly won the 2023 Election by approx 15,000 votes in 9 ridings

So PLEASE do not focus your efforts in these 9 ridings:

Lethbridge East
Calgary Cross
Calgary Bow
Calgary East
Calgary Klein
Calgary Falconridge
Calgary East
Calgary Northwest
Strathcona Sherwood Park
#ableg #abpoli

Statistically speaking if done in a select few ridings it would be closer to 2000 votes or under actually, it was closer than we all think.

Restorative justice can play a key role in helping build safer communities.

It's a voluntary process that brings victims, offenders & community together to address the harm cause by crime - a different path to address needs & hold offenders responsible.

0.55% of Albertans identify as Transgender.

37% of Albertans feel the cost of living is a challenge.

Guess which issue the UCP is introducing legislation to address?
