From story on Alberta journalist intimidation: When a Globe reporter asked Ms. Smith about the story ... she said “I’m not talking about that” and laughed as she walked away. In an interview with CTV later in the day, she said, “I condemn it.” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Social media comments toward candidates in the byelection of Battle River—Crowfoot, where Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre is running, have gotten so bad, RCMP had to issue a news release reminding people online threats are still criminal threats. #CDNpoli

Coronation RCMP cautions public on online conduct during by-election County of Paintearth, Alta. - As a by-election unfolds in Eastern Alberta, the Coronation RCMP is reminding the public about the importance of respectful and lawful conduct, both in person and online. In recent days, several candidates have reported receiving negative and, in some cases, potentially threatening commentary on social media platforms. While Canadians are entitled to express their opinions, even those critical of political figures, threats or comments that cross the line into criminal conduct will be taken seriously. Uttering threats, including online or through social media, is a criminal offence under Section 264.1 of the Canadian Criminal Code. This includes threats to cause bodily harm, death, or damage to property. Individuals found making such threats may be subject to investigation and could face criminal charges. Coronation RCMP encourages all members of the public to engage respectfully during the democratic process. We also ask those affected by threatening comments to preserve evidence, such as screenshots, and report concerning incidents to police. Anyone with information or concerns is asked to contact Coronation RCMP at 403-578-3666 or call the RCMP non-emergency line at 310-RCMP (7267) or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Pretty wild to see the movement morphing from bitter single men to people who had marriages and children blowing it all up.

“Byers said these men often want to represent themselves during divorce proceedings, animated by a perception that the family court system is biased against husbands and fathers.” "They see this as the fight of their lives, and they're fighting the good fight on behalf of men and boys everywhere”

Alberta as we know it today simply would not exist without the millions of immigrants and refugees who built it, who loved it, and who were proud to call it home - including my grandparents and my mum. This bitter xenophobia is as unAlbertan as it’s possible to be. I’m ashamed. I’m disgusted.

Alberta Next survey asks if province should withhold social services for immigrants www.rmoutlook.com/alberta-news...

Catherine Griwkowsky@cgriwkowsky.bsky.social · last yr.

To take the government's survey, you must watch a video for each topic. On immigration, the video suggests Alberta stop taking refugees and take away the funding for their social programs. Reminder: Canada turned away the Komagata Maru in 1914, and the MS St. Louis in 1939.

It took us so long to have the right to love who we love in public, and we’ve embraced this change so beautifully that some of the younger kids now don’t understand how recent it is. It all feels so fragile now. My heart breaks for Jonathan and Tristan.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales
