And this one calls for the practice of funding private schools with public money to be put to an end!

During the teachers strike!

Strap in Alberta, we’re going on a ride!

It's a well-established global phenomenon: secret police organizations always recruit losers, mediocrities, people who can't succeed in a competitive environment, whether bureaucratic, academic or commercial. These are people who will follow orders and engage in depraved, violent conduct when asked.

I do not need to be told that media helped create this problem. Or how many politicians let us down. And I'm a journalist rather than an activist, so no need to tell me to come up with a plan. Trump has said what he'll do, and those entities with a responsibility for responding must act accordingly.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Elections Alberta has approved a citizen-initiated petition application to gather signatures in support of the proposal to end public funding to independent/private schools.

Calgary teacher Alicia Taylor says she brought it forward because it could help improve funding for public schools. #AbEd

I know there are people who say that Carney is caving to Trump. For me, Carney knows how to psychologically deal with Trump (as do many others). Effusive flattery in public with Trump, and tough negotiating behind the scenes with his people.

Related joke from Alberta’s Rocky Mountains:
If you’re being chased by a bear and you want to find out what kind of bear it is, climb a tree. If it follows you up the tree, it’s a Black bear. If it knocks the tree down, it’s a Grizzly.

Transformative is the perfect word to describe it. It’s transforming in to an authoritarian fascist regime. He just doesn’t need to point that out for the masses. But Trump eats it up as some form of praise.

17. This pattern is so frequent and so public that the DC press corps really should be asking, as @froomkin.bsky.social suggested:

“Is he a confused old man?
“Is he being manipulated by his staff?
“Is he delusional? Is he gaslighting us?
“Who’s in charge?”

Why is this quote not all over the national media? Because it raises questions about his mental competence.

That number of 1.6M is the Calgary Economic Region or CMA, which includes Counties, Okotoks, Airdrie, Cochrane and Chestermere.
Calgary proper is approx 1.35M at best. They cut the budget for the annual census a few years ago
