A few thoughts on Day 3 of the teacher’s strike.

Albertans I’m hearing from are clear - this is on the UCP and their failure to properly fund public education.

Teachers, students & families deserve better. #abpoli

Bless @charlieangus104.bsky.social for noting our Canadian “naïveté” about not being as susceptible to America’s democracy decline. Not true!

A must watch to see how Maple MAGA morons are actively engaging with the trump regime to undermining our democracy, unity and sovereignty.

Charlie Angus discusses the latest meeting between the Trump regime and a small band of MAGA Alberta separatists. In this episode, we also look at how Danielle Smith is trying to pick a fight over a pipeline that won't be built to stoke Alberta rage against Canada.

Barrie #Ontario recently declared a "state of emergency" over homelessness.

But for its mayor, the risk to human lives is not the emergency. The visibility of poverty is.

New op-ed from Nir Hagigi:

#onpoli #Barrie #housingisahumanright

In Barrie, poverty is the crime and visibility the emergency

The Ontario city’s so-called ‘state of emergency’ is a manufactured crisis built on cruelty, not care

IMO
By pushing this pie-in-the-sky pipeline proposal Smith has delivered a catch 22 situation to Eby & Carney
If it happens that's great for Smith
If it doesn't happen, which it won't, she can blame Carney & Eby for the failure
& she will push her Canada-hates-Alberta crap to her base

Alberta launched its border patrol last year to help stop the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across what Premier Smith called the “leaky” U.S. border.

But the Interdiction Patrol Team has so far made only a handful of arrests, according to data released through an access to information request.
