Carney vows to fast-track West Coast Pipeline before entire West Coast burns to the ground

Carney vows to fast-track West Coast Pipeline before entire West Coast burns to the ground

U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra needs to leave Canada. Canada needs to invoke Article 9 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961. Here is a petition to the House of Commons to bring about this action. Thanks Leanne Walker & @elizabethemay.bsky.social! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

🔋Batteries don’t belong in the blue, black or green bins. Drop off batteries at designated locations like: 🔹Recycle Your Batteries Canada! recycleyourbatteries.ca 🔹City Household Waste (HHW) locations: www.calgary.ca/waste/reside... 🔹City Eco Centres: www.calgary.ca/waste/drop-o... 5/6

Residents said they’ve been caught flat-footed by these decisions because they were never consulted by the UCP. Danielle Smith and the UCP aren't listening to Albertans, so we are.

UCP's plan to put citizenship markers on driver's licenses is an absolute disaster: 1) many seniors don't have a passport/birth certificate easily accessible 2) people are unable to renew their driver's license, risking their employment 3) ID changes put healthcare at risk too #ableg #abpoli

It's astounding....

The closure of consumption sites in ON contributes to these spikes. Using in a safe environment reduces risk (people can go low and slow) and many overdoses are managed without a trip to the ER. Closures in Red Deer AB led to spikes in ambulance calls. Politicians don’t seem to care.

There should be plenty of Taber corn available this year, as more and more separatists boycott it over the unfairness of billboard ads. #SayNoToTheNine

When has Smith ever respected results she didn’t like? Checks notes. Oh. Never. So ya. This is our first warning that she’s going ahead regardless.

In Red Deer... Danielle Smith had a hard time convincing members that the Duty to Consult is real. But she did commit to holding a binding referendum on separatism in May or April of 2027 if the separatist question gets support. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is quite the tantrum! Smith said in Red Deer that if the courts affirm the Duty to Consult requirement in the separatist question currently in legal limbo... She would potentially repeal the Citizen Initiated Referendum Act. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It follows a US model. I grew up in Germany. They have a two year system but it’s vastly different, very expensive and health outcomes are not as good as they should be.

See what i’m saying? I wish there was a way to make disgruntled Albertans understand they’re barking at the wrong tree.

One pipeline system made Enbridge $1.57 billion in profit in a single quarter—that’s after paying wages, taxes, and donating to charities. But let’s blame immigrants for “taking advantage” of Albertans’ generosity.

I had an idea years ago of creating a (paid) labour reporting internship to help students gain experience doing labour reporting Emma was our first labour intern and I was so proud we could later hire her as full-time labour reporter Please follow @emmaarkell.bsky.social and support her journalism

Oh yes; & especially when you criticize the state of Israel; why are you not spending your time criticizing Russia, China etc. It's designed to shut you up. But actually we're each entitled to concentrate on what we believe to be the most egregious, or even the issue we believe to be most tractable.

99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa

As Alberta’s only MP fighting to defend public health care, I will not stay silent while governments open the door to a two-tier system where your bank account determines how quickly you get care. What starts in Alberta will not stay in Alberta. Medicare is a promise to every Canadian. (2/2)

Danielle Smith’s Bill 11 is the biggest attack on public health care in Canadian history, and Mark Carney is letting her. He and his Health Minister are refusing to enforce the Canada Health Act. (1/2) youtu.be/09BufyB0vWw?...

Sam Sharpe, a Jamaican National Hero (next to Nanny on the $500 bill), was responsible for the Christmas Day Rebellion in 1831. It was a huge 11-day strike by enslaved labour in Jamaica. British started drafting the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 right after the uprising. jis.gov.jm/information/...

There are less than a handful of countries that feature Black women on their currency. Jamaica is one of them (along with Canada). Nanny of the Maroons is a Jamaican national hero. She fought guerilla warfare against the British and won. jis.gov.jm/information/...

How substances are regulated if not based on the harm they cause, as evidenced by cancer, causing alcohol. Many of the substances currently considered illegal would be less harmful than alcohol, if they were available in a known and low concentration, rather than on the unregulated street market.

We deserve a government that will fight for access to healthcare for all Albertans!

Danielle Smith's newest health care announcement will only drive wait times higher and force more people to live in pain and suffering while they wait for the care they need.
