I post my art work here but also vent about AB politics because of the UCP. Sorry! I wish it wasn’t so. #YEG artist website: theresadonaldson.com

🇲🇽 🇨🇺 Mexican Navy ships have delivered more than 800 tons of humanitarian aid to the people of Cuba, despite warnings from the U.S. government. The ships Papaloapan and Isla Holbox departed from the port of Veracruz with a cargo of more than 814 tons of food supplies, including powdered and liquid milk, canned meat, biscuits, rice, beans, tuna, vegetable oil, and personal hygiene items, the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced. "The Mexican government reaffirms the humanitarian principles and commitment to solidarity that guide it. Cuba and Mexico are brother nations, heirs to a long history of solidarity that we honor today," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized. @alsaa_plus_EN

Black history is more than injustice and perseverance against persecution. Our cultures are rich, community-driven, distinct and retains commonalities everywhere in the world. The injustice is what you brought to us. Say it with your full chest
Black history is the human race. You’re welcome.

The history of Black Canadians is one of relentless progress, earned through perseverance, and carried forward by opening doors for so many to follow.

This week, we celebrated 30 years of Black History Month in Canada.

I received a response from Elections Canada over my call for an investigation into Elon Musk and the potential to use the X algorithm to interfere in our election.
Elections Canada has a voluntary code of good behaviour for platforms.
This is not good enough. Our democracy must be protected.

Trying to understand: the Constitution gives Congress the power to impose tariffs. The President imposes tariffs without Congress. Congress passes a law rescinding his tariffs. The President then vetos that law. Seems like something’s wrong here.

#UCP inspired word:

THWART
transitive verb

a: to oppose successfully : defeat the hopes or aspirations of
b: to run counter to so as to effectively oppose or baffle

Use in a sentence: #UCP-MAGA thwarts public education and public healthcare.

To defend Canada, our grandparents went to war, bled, & died.

To defend Human Rights, our parents marched, were beaten, & arrested.

All we are asked to do is SHOW UP.

#yxh is holding an event too!

Bill 11 isn't "European" healthcare—it’s a shift to a U.S. model. By allowing private insurance for medically necessary care, it risks:
💸 For-profit insurance foothold ⌛ Wealthy queue-jumping & doctor drain 📈 Higher admin costs
Our public system is being traded for greed. 🇨🇦🩺

A helpful clarification from @elections.ab.ca has been added to their website. PLEASE share this information widely and help us battle myths and worries that are perpetuating social media.

#ableg #abpoli #yyc #yeg #OperationTotalRecall
If I sign the petition, wlill my personal information be made public? The Recall Act requires petition documents be made available for public inspection for one year from the time it is filed or submitted. This applies to notices of intent, applications, and CFO documentation. Residential address and contact information (phone or email) must be obscured from public inspection. Individuals who ask to view copies of citizen initiative documentation are required to sign a declaration stating the information viewed will not be used except as permitted under the Recall Act. Important: This does NOT include petition signature sheets. Signature sheets will not be made available for viewing, publishing, copying, or made otherwise available to anyone. Only the petition proponent and their team and Elections Alberta staff may view the signature sheets for the purposes outlined in the Act. (Recall Act section 45(3)). This means no one else will be able to see the names, contact information, or signatures of anyone signing a petition.

Last I heard, Smith does not have a mandate nor the votes to get rid of the Alberta's RCMP. She should have figured this out by now but what we want does not concern her.

An independent AB would be a real sausage party according to poll.⬇️

71% of females plan to vote no, of those 81% would leave AB following a yes vote, Modelled out 58% of all women would leave AB!

Biggest predictor of no vote is gender.

The constant discourse on Twitter / X that 'masks don't work' is just tedious. While I never discount the possibility that I may have had an asymptomatic infection, the simple fact is that I haven't been sick once since early 2019. After numerous *confirmed* exposures. FFP2/3 works. The end.

A close up of a longhaired black cat as he sits on my daughter’s lap with his little black paws up on a table. He stares straight out to the viewer. All we see of my daughter is her light green sweater that is Wolfie’s backdrop. His eyes match the sweater with a bit of yellow thrown in.

(Via the FB)

This appears to be the "Second Sons", a white nationalist group organized by Jeremy McKenzie of Diagolon fame on a bridge in Alberta.

And it should be condemned universally.
