Please please please. We know it's exhausting. But the animals and the habitat need ALL of our voices! Groups like ours are volunteers.... individuals just like you with finite time. Let's all speak up and unite on these matters together. None of us can do it alone.

Hypothetically, and stay with me here, what if there was a pandemic and an industry, let's say meat packing, employed a large percentage of newcomers, who perhaps live in cramped accommodations, were more susceptible to the pandemic and didn't have access to healthcare... what would happen?

Enough is enough, Premier.

Albertans see right through these distractions.

Cut the bullshit. Call the election.

Danielle Smith keeps feeding the beast If there’s a Pandora’s Box that Alberta's premier hasn’t opened yet, it’s not for a lack of trying.

My latest: because one national unity crisis wasn't enough, Danielle Smith has decided to provoke another one —all, of course, in the name of placating the separatists that run her party.

The UCP has been in power for 51 of the last 55 years but according to Danielle Smith it's the family who arrived six months ago that is wrecking the province.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announces fall referendum on immigration, constitutional questions | CBC News Premier Danielle Smith wants to hold a referendum in October on measures to limit immigration to Alberta and changes she believes would give the province more rights under the Constitution.

You know what would be great... if the Alberta business community would actually speak out about Smith's damaging policies and rhetoric.

The ones not on the Alberta Next Panel obviously.

It was only a matter of time before poor budgeting choices and corruption while systematically denying the realities of the economy caused the ruling party of [insert country/state/province here] to place the blame on foreigners.

Smith unveils 2026 referendum on immigration, constitution Alberta Premier Danielle Smith unveiled a referendum plan that would give Albertans a direct say on immigration and constitutional changes.

I'm kind of embarrassed for them, the Alberta budget must be really bad. calgary.citynews.ca/2026/02/19/s...

Net migration in Alberta. Up, up, up, down, down, down.

Net international migration to Alberta totalled 197 in Q3 2025, down 99% from 32,046 in the same quarter a year prior.

Smith kicked off the sovereignty referendum campaign tonight. The fight for the future of Alberta starts now.

Did immigrants force Danielle Smith to spend $80M+ on Turkish Tylenol?

Did immigrants tell Danielle Smith to put a moratorium on renewables that will cost Alberta billions of dollars?

Did immigrants persuade Danielle Smith to cost Albertans $100M on the DynaLife debacle?

I was going to respond to Smith's address but this about covers it.

Alberta called, Canada answered. But did it work? — Calgary Herald “Alberta is Calling” campaign launched in August 2022, but did it fill key labour shortages? Our weekly Countdown to 2 Million special series continues.

“Media reports indicate $4.95 million was spent on the campaign between 2022 and 2023. The third phase was expected to total another $2.5 million, and Alberta’s 2024 budget allocated $10 million for the moving bonus program.”

Naming the policeman Officer X, Welles addressed him directly. "Wash your hands, Officer X. Wash them well. Scrub and scour, you won't blot out the blood of a blinded war veteran," Welles said. "Go on, suckle your anonymous moment while it lasts. You're going to be uncovered. We will blast out your name! We'll give the world your given name, Officer X. Yes, and your so-called Christian name. It's going to rise out of the filthy deep like the dead thing it is."

When Tom Homan, Trump and other Republicans defend the masking of ICE agents, I can't help but think of Orson Welles announcing on his radio show his intention of identifying the South Carolina police officer who violently attacked and blinded the uniformed Black veteran Isaac Woodard in 1946.

Blaming a lack of parking for an increase in road rage and using the term “war on cars” days after two Calgarians were killed while walking in marked crosswalks, all because the councillor opposes a development in Ward 8, is irresponsible.

Photo of two Trumpeter Swans, a Tundra Swan, and several Canada Geese hanging out on the ice.

The UCP wants to open hunting on Tundra Swans. Can you tell the difference between a Trumpeter Swan – a species at risk – and a Tundra Swan👇? Even the most experienced bird watchers find it difficult w/o the aid of a spotting scope. Please contact your MLA & MP and let them know your objections.

Who would win in a fight between PP and RFK Jr?

Valid point.

A sixth grader could've told the UCP that they were over reliant on resource revenues.

I've asked this question before but have never received an answer... has the UCP done a single thing to make Alberta better?

Calgary senior dies after being struck by tractor trailer, police say | CBC News A man in his 70s is dead after being struck by a tractor trailer in the 200 block of Panatella Hill N.W. — the second pedestrian fatality in 24 hours, according to Calgary police.

Hard to see how things will improve while @calgarypolice.bsky.social continues to suggest pedestrians in marked crosswalks share the blame for their own deaths. "I think it's a good reminder that as we're driving and as pedestrians we need to be aware of our surroundings."

Toddler dead after pedestrian collision in southwest Calgary | CBC News Calgary police say a toddler is dead after a collision in at the intersection of Horton Road S.W. and Hull Avenue S.W., just by Macleod Trail, on Sunday.

Road violence is a political choice. How much carnage will our leaders tolerate before they take drastic action? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Two posts from @ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social in a row where Calgarians are dead, one being a two-year old, and both occurred in marked crosswalks. When in the holy hell are the authorities going to set punishments that will match the severity of these incidents?

Canada Has a Secessionist Movement on Its Hands. Its Supporters Thank Trump. Oil-rich Alberta is poised to hold an independence referendum this year, with the American president’s allies cheering it on.

It is “one of the most significant assaults on our treaties and way of life” in generations, said Chief Sheldon Sunshine of Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation.

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.

It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony
