You might not be the person to ask this question to; however, my mom taught me that if you don't ask, the answer is always 'no.'

How does an everyday smuck like me get a hold of some of this tax money? I'm tired of being a good, poor guy. I want to be a rich, corrupt asshole. Is there a form, or..?

I love this so much. I grew up in Northern Alberta, and from Grade 4 on, I was taught by one aunt or another.

What the #UCP is doing to Alberta Education is nothing short of appalling.

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

Sometimes the Ministry of Truthiness has to get involved. Now we know what the Trump regime IS talking about behind closed doors. Be ready America. The tyrants are on the prowl. They want your country.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority”
Historic fascists with plenary authority:
• Adolf Hitler
• Benito Mussolini
• Joseph Stalin
CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. #cdnpoli

He's not. He never was and THAT is the problem. Y'all write off what he says as bullshit, and vote for him anyways!

Yeah, but he first has to survive his own in January. I haven't had my ear to the ground in the Conservative camp lately (takes too much out of me), but I imagine he has work to do there.

Which is why, I think, we're seeing an increase in rhetoric; to appease his base.

I feel that using your megaphone to speak only to those who are already firmly in echo chambers that you are in agreement with, kinda defeats the point of having a megaphone in the first place, no?
I'll sometimes troll alt-right/Poilievre groups if only to challenge their narratives. Someone has to.

Marty Fontaine 🇨🇦 @martithrall.bsky.social · 3d

Ok, you know back in the day, they had descriptors after ruler's names, like, "Ivan the Terrible" or "Catherine the Great?" Let's do one for Trump! I'll start:
