WOW!

Alberta just got another approved referendum petition!

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!

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

The reviews are coming in on the UCP's American lesson plans they're offering parents while teachers are on strike...

From this Grade 1 teacher, not only do they not align with the UCP's curriculum...

They aren't even based in what most Grade 1 kids can do.

If those files get released, Putin loses blackmail control over Trump, then Trump loses blackmail over the people he is claiming to protect, then maga implodes with infighting, then Trump loses power, then Netanyahu loses US cover, then the genocide in Gaza stops. This is all just a theory, though.

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

Jessie was advocating for someone who broke their leg trying to escape ICE and suffered injuries so bad that he had to be transported to another hospital with a trauma center to be able to get surgery. These men are Nazis.

There used to be a 6- to 12-month lag before a US trend appeared in Canada.

Now it's hours, if not minutes. "Poilievre claims Christians 'may be the number 1' victims of hate-based violence. Churches have been torched but data suggests Jews, Muslims are most targeted" www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Danielle Smith pushes for "parental rights" and "protecting kids," as justification to block teens from accessing lifesaving gender-affirming care.

All the while, she hires people who publicly tell teens they should be beaten.

The trend here? Smith and her staff pushing for stuff that hurts kids.

Wonder why senior women are angry about the Alberta gender policy? They were demanding, fighting for, and winning rights in the 70s. The 1977 Canadian Human Rights Act wasn't given; it was earned. They know the cost of losing ground on self-determination. #ABpoli

lt’s important to condemn comedians who do evil shit like:
- Joe Rogan
- Theo Von
- Everyone who performed at the Riyadh comedy festival

But it’s also important to praise the comedians who are doing good and leading right now:
- Jimmy Kimmel
- Stephen Colbert
- South Park
- God

I wouldn't be surprised if the vast majority of radicalizing social media comes from foreign entities who are winning by grinding down America into civil war. We know there are huge bot farms that are pouring mind altering content into the devices of weak and suffering Americans

A great way for us here in Edmonton to honor him is to name the new mountain bike park in Queen Elizabeth Park after him. He was the master when it came to mountain biking. I can see it now, The Dr. Darren Markland Mountain Bike Park. Maybe we can let the City of Edmonton know

I need to say a few words about Darren.
He was, in many ways, the doctor all doctors needed to be. Compassionate, caring, an advocate and a poet. We were all privliged to have him in our world.
And we are poorer for his departure from it.
Wherever you are, I hope there are paddles and pedals.

I just found out that Jimmy Kimmel has actors’ union people who are just short of benefits availability on his show to deliver one line so they can get their union benefits. That’s a good guy.

There will definitely be a teachers strike because the UCP aren't negotiating
They just pushing lies and propaganda

When the UCP would rather spend millions on ads attacking teachers rather than putting that money towards education, they are the problem

Stephen Miller says we are evil, wicked, envious, nothing. Says they are good, pure, righteous. He tells them we build nothing, are nothing. He dehumanizes us so it’s easier to hurt us. Maybe kill us. All because we are different. He isn’t warning of war, he’s declaring it and it's chilling.
