People tell you who they are by the company they keep. Danielle Smith refused to take a picture with Mark Carney. #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

Thankyou for saying it Markham Hislop, who is now the newest voice of reason and Alberta is lucky to have him!

If Canadians are supporting Donald Trump, they are traitors and everything in between.

They were literally invented by a farmer who was trying to make cattle feed. Another happy mistake 😁

Sorry Americans. Your President is a petulant child! Also is there anyone other than Trump who did not know that Ronald Reagan was pro free trade?

Some images from the teacher rally today.

Estimates 35,000 people in attendance as Danielle Smith glared from her office window.

The point is to make everything harder for people to access. Education, healthcare, Aish, voting etc. This is what right wing governments do.

Machine counting wouldn't miss that many votes. Just saying 😉.

I saw people come in and look at the lineup outside the gym and leave at Parkview School. Thank goodness there were some chairs to sit on in the gym while my wife stood in line. I have cancer and am receiving radiation treatments at this time. I don't think I could have stood for the hour it took.

“Joseph Schow says the changes will ensure only those who, in his words, "truly care and are serious about representing a community” will be put on the ballot.”

The UCP are bringing purity tests to who can run in elections.

Huh.

Big changes ahead for Alberta's provincial elections

Government house leader Joseph Schow says the changes will ensure only those who, in his words, "truly care and are serious about representing a community” will be put on the ballot.

This is to prevent the splitting of the vote on the right wing by fringe candidates. #abpoli #ucp #ableg #yeg

The future is coming. Whether or not we are ready. My suggestion is for Canada to negotiate with China the same tariff rates on EVs as Europe and end the ban on canola exports to China.

China’s Ruthless Global Auto Expansion Strategy

Want an end to Canada's 100% tariff on Chinese EVs? Watch this interview first.

China's strategy is to obliterate the West's auto sector, inc. Canada's. We must take this threat seriously.

Alberta used to have the best services in Canada. On health and education, arguably the two main roles for a provincial government, the UCP is failing Albertans.

Please read this article about the depths to which the US government is now going to deport families. I don't think that the US is going to be a viable country in the future. They are going to be consumed with cultural warfare between their states and citizens.

"They disappeared her." This story from @timdickinson.bsky.social is so upsetting. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Her Kids Are U.S. Citizens. Trump's Admin Disappeared Them Anyway

Donald Trump's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) disappeared an immigrant mom living in Portland and her four U.S. citizen children.

Is it just me that thinks the Trump Administration wants to have a safe haven in case things go south?

RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #1
- ABs are not aware of how frequently rural EDs are closed, and the impact on the people in these communities.
- the ever-worsening stats are meaningless
- it's important to put a human face on what's happening.

Anonymized Actual Case #1:

The news that Imperial Oil is closing its Calgary office and cutting jobs is a significant blow to Calgary's and Alberta's economies.

We need a Premier who keeps Alberta’s investment market competitive, instead of chasing separatism.

I'm not a Trump fan. BUT if he can end Putin's invasion and ensure Ukraine's safety, I'll nominate him for a Nobel Peace prize 🏆.

Remove big money from politics. Only allow private citizen donations and end pacs and corporate donations. Unlikely to happen but limits would help too.

Robert 🇨🇦 @yegrob.bsky.social · Sep 23

I keep forgetting that it's supposed to be the other way. Investigate and then fire.

The thought pattern that needs to change is that it is America now. And for the next 3.5 years. More if you don't stop it.
