Long-time friend,son of Mulroney cabinet minister, finally said “I’m not Conservative.”Doesn’t know what to call himself anymore.I suggested “centre-right”-he went with it for now.The Skippy/Dani/CPC/UCP/Trumpists are NOT conservatives.They’re terrorists and want to destroy Canada. #ableg #cdnpoli

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

lies are increasing, caring for all Albertans is decreasing
Danielle's talking about what's "up" in Alberta, but for most of us, the reality feels a lot different. 📈📉

Here's what's actually going up and down in our province. What would you add? 🤔 #ABpoli #Alberta #RealityCheck #cdnpoli #DanielleSmith #UCPfail #AlbertaReality

On our new episode we heard from Andrew Longhurst how profitized health care doesn’t have its promised effects.

It’s just taking taxpayers money to make the elite more rich and it’s fundamentally un-Canadian.

Allegations that the UCP pressured Alberta Health Services to accept exorbitant contracts to operate chartered surgical facilities have dominated the news in Alberta since February.

But lost in the conversation is how Alberta’s increasing reliance on for-profit service delivery got us here.

To be super clear:

CTV Your Morning *approached* @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to do a weekly segment

CTV announced on *national TV* she would be returning each week

Then CTV *cancels* her segment after Poilievre’s staffer denounces the announcement on X

pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...
Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada.

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.
NEW: CTV cancelled a fact-checking segment in response to political pressure from Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives
