I blame Daniel Smith

Standing in a long line to vote in Red Deer. Whose asinine idea was it to reduce voting locations?

Yes, lies and VERY undemocratic.

As usual, #Trump's tough talk about standing up to Putin only lasts until he actually talks to #Putin.

TACO president caves again.

The weak snivelling traitor.

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.

Never mind the design. Give #Albertans a chance to vote on the slogan.

I think most would rather stick with "Wild Rose Country" rather than "Strong and Free"

#Smith can say it's not political, but this is clearly political.

The Wicked Witch of the West is very aware in smacks of separatism.

UNACCEPTABLE! This is what comes of the government hate-speech calling protesters the "enemy"

James Carson @steampunkflyer.bsky.social · 14d

Good. Why should lawmakers get paid if no one else is getting paid?

Let's hope that is the case. I fear that Trump will ask the American military to go after Americans.

In my opinion, the theory that wealth trickles down to the poor is complete bunk.

The only trickling down that happens is the rich drinking champagne & laughing while they piss on the lives of the poor.

The blind disregard the wealthy have for the poor is why guillotines were invented.

Yeow! Now it's 11 - 0!

Awesome!

James Carson @steampunkflyer.bsky.social · 15d

Awesome! Jays up 5-0 so far!

We the north!

That is a massive Canadian 🇨🇦flag at the Jays vs Yankees game tonight at the dome which is packed to the gills! Canadian Forces unfurled it. Right on, Go Jays Go!

I don't think the algorithm likes me.

James Carson @steampunkflyer.bsky.social · 15d

This is viscous fascists terrorizing & attacking fellow Americans.

This is so wrong.

ICE has become Trump's Gestapo or KGB.

Did America lose a war or something? How is this happening?

James Carson @steampunkflyer.bsky.social · 15d

There is no organized anti-fa movement.

Why?

Because anti-fascists hate the belonging to groups where people all wear the same thing (like a red hat).

James Carson @steampunkflyer.bsky.social · 15d

You are looking at the defendants of the future trials of all the people who abused their power during the Trump administration.

Just so you know, "just following orders" will not be a legitimate defence.

Trump's war against America and American freedom. He must really hate the people.

Border Patrol shoots woman on Southwest Side; agents, protesters battle for hours

Exactly correct.

As Ben Franklin said, we must all hang together or they'll hang is separately. I'm paraphrasing here, but you get the idea.

The rights of everyone are diminished when the rights of one person are threatened. (JFK)

Recently finished the Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline.

I highly recommend this book. Earth after a climate disaster and, what do you know, white society is exploiting First Nations again. This time in a more horrific way.

Uplifting tale of survival.

James Carson @steampunkflyer.bsky.social · 15d

Trump should stop watching FOX that is re-running 5 year old footage of BLM protests.

Honestly, there has never been a stupider more gullible president than #Trump

James Carson @steampunkflyer.bsky.social · 15d

No one is surprised Trump is lying.

But, seriously, who the hell thinks Portland is "burning to the ground"?

James Carson @steampunkflyer.bsky.social · 15d

#Alberta Next Panel wasn't about polling Albertans.

Polls already said we don't want an Alberta police force instead of the RCMP.

We said we wanted the #CPP -not a APP.

Already said we want to stay in #Canada.

#Next was expensive propaganda to shove fringe #UCP ideas down our throat.

When you care more about cosplay than about the humans you are persecuting, you might be Kristi Noem.

In the middle of the night, doors are being kicked in by masked police and innocent people are being dragged away.

Is this Gestapo or the KGB?

No, this is the US, this is #ICE, #Trump's secret police. Run by his evil henchmen.

No longer the land of the free.

Who is WE? Canada build all those things, and Canada created Alberta.
