Cmon Maple MAGAts of Alberta, Ole' Dani is on your side!!

BREAKING: Albertans ponder whether they’ll know who their mayor is, or successfully book a Covid shot, first. 🤔

Looks like the UCP is going ahead with their "Jordan Peterson" law...

Because people shouldn't be reported to their professional colleges for comments made unrelated to their work.

(Peterson's comments were determined to be related but whatevs)

"the problem with a general strike is that not everyone can take off work without being punished for it"

Then the demands for the strike should include non retaliation and support for the most vulnerable, yes?

Black people: "I don't trust you given all the very recent experiences in which you betrayed my struggle."

White liberals: "So you choose to be divisive? Now?? when you have to trust me not to turn on you most???"

As we're still grappling with recent changes to municipal elections underway TODAY, the Alberta government announced changes to the NEXT elections.

They are to include a provision that "only those who truly care and are serious about representing a community or riding are allowed on the ballot."

Braid: UCP will decide who can run for office next time; only the "serious" allowed

UCP plans new rules to limit who can run in provincial and civic elections. There's a bill coming soon.

At what pricing?
There are a lot of Calgarians that don't even crack the $60K gross income.
The $100 that Smith is insisting on for ABns to stay healthy and alive is cruel when other provinces supply free and easy to walk in.

Got off the plane and walked into a drug store in Ottawa and got my COVID vaccine in under 5 minutes. No line up. No appointment. No cost.

Was even asked if I wanted Moderna or Pfizer.

It’s unconscionable that we can’t get this same level of service in Alberta.

So, some political systems rule by force, others rule by persuasion. Or, in the case of Alberta, rule by conspiracy. 🤦🏼‍♀️

The truth about Emil Bove's conduct at DOJ would not have been fully known, if it weren't for a whistleblower.

As this administration makes a habit of misleading the courts, and ignoring court orders, speaking up could mean exposing real lawlessness.

🧵For those who don't know, I spent over a year in Tbilisi, Georgia, and went from there to Kyiv just before Putin invaded.

I lived right below Bidzina Ivanishvili, the oligarch thug who's working to get Georgia back in Putin's grip.

Everyone should be paying attention to what's going on there...

Georgian police raid homes of former officials including ex-prime minister

Authorities in Georgia have been clamping down on figures accused of trying to overthrow the government.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

On the teachers strike...

House Leader Joseph Schow refused to rule out using the Nothwithstanding clause to remove teachers right to strike and force them back to work.
