A shocking development (Note: it is not shocking)

Angie Rasmussen @angierasmussen.bsky.social · 1d

What do you know, the ostrich farmers owe money all over Canada for the ostrich schemes of the past. They are in arrears on $250K worth of debt and their creditors find their interim payments of ostrich oil instead of actual loonies to be insufficient

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Alberta's Border Patrol Has Made Only a Handful of Arrests via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...
With a Danielle Smith govt in charge, I have to wonder who is profiting unduly from this expense.

The more I learn about our provincial fiscal (mis)governance the more I see the need for a province wide general strike.

As Paramedics and HSAA are back at the bargaining table…

Here’s some important context as to how EMS are paid in comparison to other First Responders and the amount of education required.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Madam Premier,

There’s literally a petition 270,000 Albertans have signed to remain in Canada that you are unwilling to put your name on or support behind.

She looks pretty haggard.
Maybe all the lies, and the meanness, and the vile policies she has been legislating, and her corrupt governance has weighed heavily on whatever minuscule bit of conscience she has ever had.
Whatever…I hope it’s nothing too benign.

I don’t disagree but the only way to deal with Smith is to push back with clear messaging that enough is enough.

Big fan of taking advantage of this very stupid law to demonstrate how unpopular some of the UCP's "ideas" really are. I'll absolutely sign this one.

Private schools want to teach and benefit from the wonders of capitalism, they should be made to live by Capitalism. Earn their money. No welfare from the taxpayers

This one should be a cakewalk. They only need a little more than half the signatures we needed for the ForeverCanadian petition.
