As we're remembering that Dick Cheney killed a million Iraqis, remember that the death toll from cutting USAID funding will be still larger than that.

Does poilievre think he can win I wonder? He got beaten and kicked to the curb just a short time ago. If we’re stuck with an election, Pepe isn’t going to like the results. It will be a death knell for his useless political career

Most Boomers in Canada hate trump and our own similar conservatives . It’s the 30-40 yr olds who support stupid shit the most here bc they don’t have a fecking clue and vote based on feelings

So is Alberta politics akin to food? Make someone sick and get recalled?

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

I couldn’t go Allison & maybe to my own detriment. I’m Canadian and I cut off every trump supporter in my circle a long time ago. Blood might be thicker than water but I’m not subscribing to insanity and hatred from supporters of a rapist felon who faked his own assassination attempt. And much more.

Yea but do you wrap it & place on your front step & tape people stealing it? Hate to say I’m kinda all for this. Maybe it’s years of trump & Putin & Pepe & I’m just mad a lot now 😆. I don’t have to worry about it where I live now but I would have a hard time not doing it at least once in Toronto.

You've got to wonder how many times per day @carrietait.bsky.social has to physically & audibly scream into the void while she writes about the current Alberta government, because there seems to be no action Premier Smith won't take at this point to dodge findings on the healthcare scandal.

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fiercely independent and proudly pro-democracy. Unlike CBS, it owes nothing to the White House and seeks no favors from them. It has no corporate overlords, no venture capital investors, and no billionaires pulling strings.

James: The day after that zirconium-crowned king was installed in Washington, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith—at a meeting orchestrated by Kevin O’Leary, a man so prostrate at the altar of mammon he’d sell coal to the devil if it fattened his wallet—was down there stroking the lizard of Mar-a-Lago.
