"Smith said Friday she might ask fellow premiers what they would think about revisiting Indigenous land rights as set out in the Constitution, in the wake of the court ruling that quashed the pro-separatist citizen petition over the government's failure to consult with Indigenous peoples." Fuck no!

So our Premier wants to open up s 35 (Indigenous rights). Perhaps she wants to tack on a notwithstanding clause to that provision - her usual response when she finds rights (that is, the rights of others) inconvenient. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

Well this is... Nightmare fuel. The UCP just used AI to create what is supposed to be a soothing ad on forced treatment. But like the policy itself, it comes off as completely soulless. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The UCP is an authoritarian party, that controls everything they can. Don't walk in lockstep and you will be defunded. This is not how democracy is supposed to work. It should also reinforce the idea that everything the UCP does, every action from every MLA or party member .. is Dani approved.

Andrea DeKeseredy@andiewinnipeg.bsky.social · 9mo ago

New emails obtained by CBC through access of information show that before announcing the end of EDI at the University of Alberta, the president sent his announcement to the UCP before publication. How's that for institutional neutrality?

Being associated with Epstein and his horrific crimes should be a career ending moment for anyone, whether they are billionaires, royalty, politicians or others. Yet here we are in extremely fucked up 2026 and very few of these monsters will face any consequences.

Nothing to see here… Just the reeve for the largest county in Canada using a municipal office for collecting separatist signatures. In a different time the Minister of Municipal Affairs would condemn this. In Alberta tho, it’s Dan D Williams. So… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

True, it would indeed take something like that to be more treasonous than what you're doing. Guess what tho.

Scott Robertson@sarobertson.bsky.social · 9mo ago

"Swearing allegiance to communist China in Beijing while invoking the New World Order, and then threatening war with the US under Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, certainly smacks as being a lot more treasonous than anything that we're doing." -- wow, Vassy...

Totally on point. She's a separatist. This "sovereign Alberta" within Canada makes it clear. Sovereign: "possessing supreme or ultimate power." Her continued use of the not withstanding clause emphasizes this point. No respect for Canadian law.

TikTok has been removing videos of Alex Pretti’s shooting. They’re owned by the regime now. Users who try to discuss it are being suspended or throttled. We don’t need more state sponsored propaganda. Boycott TikTok. Lift up independent journalists. Keep sharing the truth

what in the utter fuck. I knew Global News were feckless but this is something else.

That's an armoured vehicle sold to ICE by a Canadian company btw. Some of us were furious about the sale of such vehicles to Saudi Arabia under Harper/Trudeau, and we are equally furious about this under Trudeau/Carney.

It’s about resources. Oil. Minerals. Fresh water. And ultimately about the control of all our resources into the hands of a few. Today it’s Venezuela. In the viewfinder is Greenland and my home, Canada.

CONServatives disparage and underfund everything in order to break and then privatize. Creating for-profit opportunities for the rich and CONServative donors hurts Albertans. Anyone voting CONS is to blame. Alberta deserves better. #NeverVoteConservative

Look at this chart and remember: 1) the COVID immune damage claim is that after a COVID infection, influenza gets worse vs 2) the "immunity debt" claim is that after a bad influenza season, influenza gets better Now look at how 2022-23 compares to previous years, and ask "Which claim was right?"

Bean & Sprout's Mom@beansproutsmom.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Why not both? Bad flu strain and population-level immune dysfunction from mass, repeat COVID infection. #MaskUp and get vaxxed indeed! P.S. We are at 29,099 cases already this year as of Dec 19. P.P.S. Chart also shows spreading flu is a choice 🤬

This is one of the things I’ve been trying to explain to people: LLMs poison their own well. They’re trained on the Internet and most of their output (excrement) ends up… on the Internet. It becomes the inputs for new outputs. We’re spiraling into a new pandemic: Epistemic cholera.

Smith finally said it out loud... She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services. Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

There aren’t many things worse one can imagine than the loss of a child. But the loss of a child to a vaccine preventable disease is a pain no parent or family should ever have to bear. Sowing distrust about vaccines, arguably the greatest public health success of all time, is pure evil.

This week my younger son decided to stop masking after being COVID-aware for 5+ years. Despite the fact that he got rhabdomyolysis from his first infection (was hospitalized for 5 days), his Dad has just completed chemo, & his brother & Mum have had Long COVID for 5+ years. And now he is sick -
