Busting the #conservative myth:

Canadians are all subject to the same federal income tax system regardless of where we live.

Equalization is financed by the GofC from general revenues largely through federal taxes.

Provincial govts. make NO contributions to the program.

Hear Ron's story 👇
Meet Ron.

Ron lives in Falher, Alberta, where sour gas wells and pipelines cut across his land. When one pipeline burst near his home, the operator and Alberta’s energy regulator let it leak for days.

Toxic fumes filled his house.

From the DM’s…

So patients are discharged from hospitals to seniors homes that can’t support them to free up space in hospitals…

But they go back to the ER because those facilities can’t support them.

The UCP haven’t solved healthcare…

They’ve created a mobius strip.

It took me a week to get to it but I'm enjoying reading Justice Feasby's judgment from last week on the secession referendum initiative. Lots of zingers sprinkled throughout the judgment but I particularly liked this one: #ableg #abpoli 2025 ABQB 712

This is a white supremacist rally. Anyone who attends something like this or still supports the leader of this movement should be unwelcome in your home and shunned from civil society. Period. We’re way past the point where this crap should be tolerated from anyone. Cast them out.

"First he came for the female reporters, and I said nothing because I wasn't a female reporter."
The silence of media bosses is an embarrassing scandal.
“You’re the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. A terrible reporter.”

Trump again attacks a Black female reporter, ABC’s Rachel Scott, for asking about releasing the full boat strike video - which he said he would do 5 days ago

And the other journalists stay silent🐔

People often ask: what can ordinary people do to stop populists like Trump and Smith from running roughshod over democratic norms?

Populists rely on the widespread perception that their actions are supported by "the majority" and "common people."

Anything that punctures that myth helps. +
