Polling shows Canadians support a new pipeline from Alberta to B.C. — if they don’t have to pay for it. Companies aren’t lining up to shell out, either. Here's a look at the economics of pipelines in Canada, including the cost of fossil fuel emissions and climate change thenarwhal.ca/canadian-pip...

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️

This is ONE of many situations where Albertans' lives are upended because of the UCP’s reckless decision to add #citizenship markers on Alberta IDs. The UCP Gov should be ashamed of themselves for forcing seniors to face the stress of losing their driver's license & #healthcare. #ableg #abpoli

Did the Canadian federal government adopt quietly British spelling for its documents when the U.S. bullshit started? Two thoughts: 1. I support it 2. I love that there are people who (a) noticed, and (b) were so enamoured of the idea they literally wrote the PM lethbridgeherald.com/news/nationa...

Instead of spending at least $50 billion of public money on fueling more climate chaos, Canadians deserve a government that invests in building the green economy of tomorrow – creating good jobs, lowering costs, and protecting our future.

I was appalled (though not surprised) when I learned Sunday that Senate Dems intend to help Republicans fund the government through the election, with one minimal concession that has nothing to do with election subversion or ongoing Trump theft of federal dollars from blue states. And I remain so.
Senate Democrats Dodge Last Pre-Election Opportunity To Fight Trump
They won't take a big stand to protect the election, or resist Trump's broader lawlessness, before the midterms.

It gets better: The guy in charge of big DOD strategy literally wrote a book on how we should never do this, with the threat of China being his main reason as to why we should avoid more wars in the Middle East. It’s idiots and hypocrites all the way down.
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · yesterdayI have zero knowledge about military stuff.

Is it true that Weiss and Ellison privately joke that "CBS" now stands for "Children Be Sexy"? It's impossible to say just yet. But given all the work they've done to shield all the pedophiles in the Trump administration from the Epstein Files story, we just can't rule it out.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · yesterdayWhy are Bari Weiss and David Ellison manipulating the news to protect child rapist Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplices? Possibly connected to how Weiss pushed to hire Epstein friend Peter Attia?
Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

Alberta has always been multicultural - back to its first Dene, Cree, Blackfoot and other Indigenous peoples, back to its first Scottish, Welsh, French, and English fur traders. We have always welcomed newcomers and they have always strengthened our shared community.
It is a betrayal of our history and our authentic Alberta culture to suggest, for example, that new immigrants and refugees should be officially discriminated against, denied the chance to send their kids to school, or go to a hospital when they are sick.
