So, now I’m seeing that Trump’s insane reaction to a *checks notes* entirely factual TV ad is somehow Canada’s fault…or Ford’s.
Trump *never* negotiates in good faith & isn’t a rational actor. This situation is entirely his to own & is a product of his xenophobic, egomaniacal, authoritarian brain.

ABNDP is sending me emails daily begging me to “chip in.” It seems to be more about a competition with the ucp for donation $. Formulate a rational action plan and then I’ll consider donating. Until then, the bank is closed. Not throwing $ at a 3rd losing cause.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.
This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

Behind a paywall Toronto star but ill try to summarize here. apple.news/ADaqfGE8xTWq...
A 'jaw-dropper' poll showed surging support for an Alberta separatist party. Turns out the polling firm and the party weren't so separate — Toronto Star
The Alberta Republican Party leader previously had an ownership stake in the same polling company that reported support for his new party was surging.

I have the misfortune of Garnett Genuis for an MP and he has my email so I get his nonsense hot takes and updates on his dancing gerbil antics on Parliament. Today, it was a list of slogans about youth unemployment. CPC plan? "Unleash the economy!" Yeah, that'll fix it in no time. #ableg #cdnpoli

As drought in B.C.’s Peace River region leads to massive wildfires and the City of Dawson Creek scrambles to find a new water source, a report released today concludes that water use by the region’s fracking industry shot up a record 50% last year.

The thing is, the boycott isn't about being helpful; we aren't especially interested in doing it for the sake of leveraging a bargaining position. We're doing it because fuck Trump and fuck his tariffs and his 51st state rhetoric. We aren't stopping if Carney reaches a deal. This shit's long-term.

You know, I could’ve been a General too. Probably would’ve made a great General. Maybe the best General ever. But I had casinos and hotels to bankrupt. Takes a lot of great leadership. Bankrupting a casino. I did four. So I guess I’m a little like a four-star General that way.

So the word going round is the UCP sweetened the teachers' contract negotiations with a - wait for it - free covid shot. That's it. Same deal as the pitiful one they offered in May but now, the covid shot is free.

If it wasn't for my aging parents, I would really question why I am still living in Alberta. A government that is pro-separation, a collapsing healthcare system, the lowest funded education system, and high unemployment, yet still half of Albertans feel this is a good thing. #ableg #abpoli

The simple, yet profound, question to be answered is ...
Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?
