I think this is going to flop hard. Even the parts of the design that work (side profile, rear) are hampered by other parts of the design (big ugly charging door, no window). & the interior is truly terrible. Quite disappointing from Jaguar.

“They’ve forgotten that they work for us.” Corb Lund is calling for a coal moratorium, saying Premier Smith should act because she’s “our employee.” He believes his petition wasn’t handled properly, blaming the chaos on gov’t underfunding of Elections Alberta. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...
NEW: Corb Lund has penned a letter to Premier Smith, calling for an immediate coal moratorium, claiming that former Elections Alberta staff have raised serious questions about the validation process of his petition.

Canada is under attack, from within and from without. Saving an organ at the University of Alberta is one way to fight back.

A former US ambassador calls it out. But he's wrong on one key point: Trump's actions make total sense. His career was floated by dirty Russian money. Trump is a sexual predator, convicted felon and stooge of the Kremlin. He hates Canada because we are democratic and under the rule of law.
The modern political party most closely associated with the literal Nazis!
Charles Rusnell@charlesrusnell.bsky.social · last mo.Bruce McAllister is a senior advisor to Alberta's premier. He hosted the anti-immigrant Alberta Next Panels. He attacked Senator Paula Simons for calling out the racist referendum questions. Now he's openly supporting an extremist white nationalist party's racist anti-immigration policy.
hello liberal democracies around the world, i hate to say it but you need to take a look at how successful the funding of fascist media in america has been for the far-right and you need to start counteracting this with your own dollars funding progressive media here
Separatists constantly suggest Alberta has a unique "cowboy", "toil the land", & "rural" culture. Reality: - AB as urban (80% +) & diverse as rest of Canada - AB ag industry = about 2% of total economy. Ag is 1% of Ont's - The cowboy hat thing = just identity fashion like punk pins, blue hair...

I do think “every rich person went insane during covid because it was the first time they’ve been inconvenienced in decades” felt a little reductive at first but damn if isn’t more and more compelling as the years drag on
We’ve always been too shy in saying our democracy, our multiculturalism, our willingness to care for each other, and yes, even our unions, create social stability and cohesion, which is good for business. We don’t need to be America. We can be something better.
Adam Radwanski@aradwanski.bsky.social · last mo.This story is a good reminder that, as much as we feel threatened by the U.S., we also have a growing opportunity to take advantage of how unattractive it’s making itself. www.thestar.com/business/fac...
I definitely have full confidence in their ability to pull off the most expensive and labour-intensive referendum in Canadian history.
Jonny Wakefield@jonnywakefield.bsky.social · last mo.Elections Alberta is acknowledging a.) a "handful" of referendum voting packages were mailed out with ballots missing b.) that a declaration threatening $50k fines and 2 years in jail if you can't vote in person was essentially a misprint edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...
This headline and article is a good example of everything wrong with american political reporting. Republicans could literally end this war right now if they felt like it with a vote, but politico frames it as some unattainable dream that is out of grasp. It’s literally their choice!!!!
Politico@politico.com · last mo.Republicans once hoped the Iran war would end before the elections. They’ve given up that dream.
It's well known that the Trump administration wants to crush the Canadian economy to force us into a U.S. dominated-customs union. It's helpful to remind those who think there is some kind of "deal" to be had when the President shouts it from the rooftops.
It’s a cult. The GOP tells them to drink kool-aid, they ask how much.
Polling USA@usapolling.bsky.social · last mo.There's no fucking helping these people
The premier is a fascist in the employ of the oil & gas industry
The Breakdown AB@thebreakdownab.bsky.social · last mo.Holy crap. Danielle Smith issued an "Alberta Day" statement this morning... And then reissued it, removing the acknowledgement of First Nations peoples in Alberta. And included a shout out to oil and gas instead. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Ken Tremendous@kentremendous.bsky.social · last mo.Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.
The unfortunately reality remains that in rural Alberta you could paint a rock blue, use said rock to stone a local family to death in front of the whole town, and that rock would still get 60% of the vote. Hard to fathom how many rural voters purely want to stick it to cities they visit 10x a year

Courtney Theriault@ctheriault.bsky.social · last mo.Premier Danielle Smith says Alberta will not be taking any additional action in the ongoing U.S. - Canada trade war, saying an export energy tax would essentially lead Canada to economic ruin. Instead, she'd rather immediate approval to a west coast pipeline and more energy to eastern Canada.
I’ll keep saying it: The issue the world has with America goes deeper than Trump. It’s the institutions that enable and fail to check the American threat to peace, order, decency and justice. bsky.app/profile/dkmu...
Stephanie Carvin@stephaniecarvin.bsky.social · last mo.Again, the lesson for Canada fron the tariffs - but also the EU, the Indo-Pacific and any other region looking to do business with the U.S. - is that the tools have been taken out, this will not end with Trump.
