Was one of the posters on that account you maybe followed on the other platform.
All I’m saying is @aircanada.bsky.social has the ability to do a legendary ad with this information.
Big breaking news from here in Milan: Winnipegger Seth Jarvis just told me his 4 Nations famous “buddies” are trying to make last-minute arrangements to join him here in Milan and cheer Team Canada. I’ve got a full story coming on Jarvis for @winnipegfreepress.com

There is also already an advisory committee with provincial representation from the government (a nominee by the Minister/AG) and a nominee from the Law Society of Alberta.

So she’s asking a new separate committee?

Alex Pretti showed more courage and conviction in 20 seconds than the entire Democratic establishment has in the half decade.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

I don’t even wear a jacket for -10, a quarter zip usually does it for me.
Canadians you are not prepared for the temperature he tells you he is experiencing here.

To an extent I appreciate the need to take the Alberta Independence movement seriously but the irony of trying to host your separatist event at “Canadian” Brewhouse to be told to leave and then pivoting to “Swamp Donkey” needs to be highlighted.

We will burn down the White House (again) and then make you spell “behavior” properly.

If I were America, I would do a quick history lesson on what happened the last time….

There was a lot of commentary the other day about Justice Feasby’s epilogue regarding the Citizens Initiative/Independence Referendum (and the issues he had with the UCP’s use of the NWC) but this paragraph (in the decision and not epilogue) should draw as much, if not more attention.

Spinal growth is positively correlated to internal polling for mid terms I suspect.

Yes because this SCC has been signalling to parliament for near 20 years that mandatory minimums need to allow for some discretion in unique circumstances.

Parliament consistently drafts and passes badly drafted laws.

There’s pretty recent case law explaining why the hypothetical is used in s.12 cases.

The fictional 18 year old might not have the resources to bring a charter challenge in their case. And it’s a better use of judicial resources to deal with it when the matter is before the court.

Completely immunizing yourself and your government from all causes of action, (including those based on bad faith), and from both s.52 remedies (which makes sense because NWC) but also Charter damages, really is a “mask off” moment.

They engaged the ATA in good faith at any point.

My worry is that unlike Ford (to a degree), Smith and the UCP seem to be more headstrong and willing to dig their heels in, consequences be damned (because it’s the marxists and leftist media that’s lying about everything).

This is an excellent summary of Sabir’s comments, but the missing thing is that Janis Iwrin is absolutely *seething* in the background. Like absolutely furious.
(on youtube now)
Sabir: I heard from my own constituents and from a teacher in Airdrie; for six years, the UCP has treated teachers with disrespect, first with our pensions, funding, refusing to collect class size data. If the NDP forms the next govt I hope you can show that education matters in AB.

Danielle Smith and the UCP’s Bill 1 is literally Labour Convention Reference (1937) UKPC 6 repackaged and presented as some landmark drawing a line in the sand in federalism.

Lord Akin literally said this was the case almost 90 years ago!
October 24, 2025 at 2:43 AM
Did Danielle Smith and the UCP just discover the Privy Council’s Labour Convention Reference (1937)?

Judicial activism is when judges make decisions I don’t personally agree with and the more I don’t agree with it the more judicial activism it is.

2022 before second wave of COVID hit, my friends and I were going to go see Simple Plan at Sandman, with the opener being The Offspring.

See as Exhibit A to my above post:

Part of the reason we’re in the situation we are now is that right wing commentators are exceptionally good at creating convincing strawman of the left and the base doesn’t look outside their chamber to see that the strawman is actually made of straw.
September 10, 2025 at 9:28 PM
You will of course note that pretty much unanimously democratic lawmakers and left leaning commentators are denouncing in the strongest terms political violence but you wouldn’t get that impression from various conservative commentators.
Very, very bad stuff coming from leading right-wingers

Banning Margret Atwood’s The Handmaids Tale is a bit on the nose even for the UCP.
Teachers: we really need supports for complex needs in classrooms, lower class sizes, better working conditions, and appropriate funding

UCP: best we can do is a book ban

Isn’t this what upper year polisci interns were for?

Did my part and signed @lukaszukab.bsky.social #ForeverCanada petition today.

The Separatists were also there (all three of them!) My wife wouldn’t let me go have a constructive dialogue with them.

Six months in and the Dems have finally woken up it seems.
