We need to close the skies over Ukraine!
🇺🇳🇺🇦 The number of civilians killed by Russia in Ukraine in the first 10 months of this year is four times higher than in the whole of last year, - UN.

548 people have died in Ukraine since the beginning of the year. Another 3.5 thousand were injured.

There are multiple examples in this world where becoming a small isolated economy leads to economic misfortune. Fair warning to all those thinking an independent Alberta will enrich the populace. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The pro-Smith Twitter bots are in lock step. They are promoting the message that two-tier doesn't mean people will pay to see a doctor.

The truth is that it will be the start of a drastic degradation of the public system that will virtually guarantee that most Albertans will be forced to pay.
‼️ Danielle Smith's two-tier health care plan will be the end of universal public health care in Alberta, and the beginning of the end in Canada.

Zain breaks it down in this week's episode of 'Whatever This Is'.

Today I’m introducing Motion 504: a cap on auto insurance rate increases, tying them to the consumer price index instead of letting it skyrocket out of control. We call on the UCP government to come to their senses and support this motion. #abpoli #ableg @albertandp.ca @naheednenshi.bsky.social

All citizens are created equal... until they're not.
Glad to see UCP MLA and Minister of Red Tape Reduction, Dale Nally, checking voter records and making unsubstantiated claims about the people behind these petitions to discredit the democratic recall process our UCP created.

That's the UCP way!

We will need to make it clear to those who live in rural areas that their healthcare is going to be the most impacted by this change.
“I’m telling you that, unless those of us who believe in Medicare raise our voices in no uncertain terms, unless we arouse our neighbours and our friends and our communities, we are sounding the death knell of Medicare in this country..."

One of the best and most straightforward political answers, I have ever seen!
Tough question from Vassy Kapelos to Ebba Busch (Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden) and she comes back with a phenomenal answer.

She did not mince words when she said “Threat from a so called friend”
I love it. LETS GOOOOO

The Alberta Government is normalizing the use of the notwithstanding clause in an attempt to ignore the rule of law.

Use your voice. Protect the Charter. Stand up for human rights. Democracy depends on it.

Strong and Free....

- highest youth unemployment
- the only place you have to pay for a covid booster
- highest electricity costs
- craziest premier

Guess the province.

More than worth watching. This is how racism is turned into policy.
This serves as an illustration of how racism can be subtly woven into policy.

Wish I could be a poet at heart.
An ICE agent who was a zero
Was struck on the chest by a hero.
Wounded I am
By onion and ham
So the case was prosecuted by Pirro.

I am a Canadian citizen but I will not comply with this illegal crossover between provincial and federal powers. If asked I will tell them I am not a citizen. If enough of us do it, it will be unusable. Like the Danish wearing the Jewish star during WW2.

I remember reading about an anthropologist - Mead maybe?- who said that the first sign of civilization was a healed broken bone - because a broken bone is a death sentence without nursing the injured person until their bone healed. That sounds like empathy is the start of civilization to me.
