There seem to be 2 general opinions abt the MOU:

AB conservatives: The MOU gives AB everything we wanted

LPC supporters: MOU is great because Carney got pragmatic concessions from AB, but don't worry no pipeline will be built

Anyone else: The MOU gives AB conservatives everything they wanted

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, would be alive today if Donald J. Trump hadn't callously used her as a prop to provoke violence he wished to opportunistically use as a pretext to impose authoritarian rule.
20 year-old National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom has died from her gunshot wounds. May she rest in peace.

Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C.
Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C.
Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

Some people say Carney okayed the new pipeline because he thinks Danielle Smith will never get the financial backing she needs to build it but I think Carney's overlooking the fact Danielle can simply apply for a Ontario Skills Development Funds grant to pay for the pipeline.

Imagine the hole in Alberta’s budget when the price & demand for oil is in long-term decline in 2030s as a result of the energy transition and increased demand for clean energy. Not nostalgia for the past, it’s about winning the future. Just economics, folks.
Alberta faces $6.4-billion deficit as falling oil prices and trade troubles take toll
This year’s budget represents a massive multibillion-dollar swing from an $8.3-billion surplus last year

Rahmanulla Lakanwal is the National Guard shooting suspect.

Interesting that there were 36 searches for his exact name.

4 hours before the shooting.

I bet Stephen Miller knows why.

To be clear, the FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime over a FIVE DAY PERIOD last March. And yes, part of it was to find and redact Trump's name. I spoke to sources who reviewed the files for the FBI and DOJ and wrote about it here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

I doubt this bonkers UCP resolution will actually become law, but it highlights the degree to which pseudoscience & conspiracy theories have been normalized... Stunning.
How consumed by off-the-rails anti-science antivaxx conspiracy theories is the Alberta UCP?

Check out Resolutions #20 for UCP AGM. 👇

- Stop mRNA vaccines use in AB?
- provide vaccine detoxing (read: embrace pseudoscience)?
- educate about "vaccine injuries"?

The organizer of the Dale Nally recall is shooting back!

Not only does he call out Nally’s false claims, but he also points out that yet again…

Danielle Smith lied in the legislature.

If Danielle Smith recalls her very own recall legislation there should be a province wide general strike the very next day. No more screwing around this government will have to be taken down immediately.

From the DM’s…

A very reliable source tells us that Danielle Smith with be recalling recall with new legislation early next week.

Right after the UCP AGM.

Another Smith bait and switch.

That’s it for Bluesky for me tonight. Emotions are raw, and I don’t even know how I feel about the MOU yet so I can’t have a reasonable discussion with anyone.
I just ask that we all remember our shared values brought us together.
