3rd Stage Colon Cancer Survivor. My body clearly hates me and I am a bit cranky. Nothing I have is curable, so don't pester me with "Cures".

I know this is obvious to most, but in Canada academics don’t personally get funds from grants. The money held by institution. Resources used to fund work, pay trainees, etc. These cranks try to create perception that we have been paid off when they know that is a lie. They are shameless…

Sauna salesman, Rodney Palmer, often rolled out by antivaxxers as a media expert (worked in media yrs ago?). At "Allison Inquiry" (sigh) pushes misleading & rage bait spin about me, "ScienceUpFirst", vaccines, and the media (especially CBC). THIS guy is a "mic drop" expert? So sad. So desperate.

📣 Dear Separatists, Again, you are being manipulated‼️ A US-linked network of fake websites is promoting Alberta separatism to AI chatbots www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/04/i... via @nationalobserver.com "...presenting fake images, names and quotes from over 100 invented Alberta voters..."

A US-linked network of fake websites is promoting Alberta separatism to AI chatbots

The websites present crude, AI-generated slop disguised as the voice of real Albertans. But they're made in Florida — and they're not even targeting Albertans directly.

Parents of girls over 12 all over Alberta are now receiving “permission forms” requiring their birth sex as female in order to participate in sports as a result of the Government of Alberta’s “Fairness and Safety in Sport Act”. The more parents who file a challenge in response, the better.

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.

Bruce McAllister: Finally someone on a major stage saying it out loud instead of hiding behind slogans. Shout it from the rooftops please Alice! You can’t run a welfare state, bring in millions who need support, and keep energy prices this high without the books blowing up. It’s also tearing up the social fabric and native culture. People are waking up. Now watch the mainstream media ignore all of it - while twisting themselves into pretzels labelling her alt-right anyway.Shannon Phillips: The AfD is the far-right party in Germany that German intelligence services have classified as extremists, Bruce. Multiple intelligence services have documented AfD ties to the Kremlin. @ABDanielleSmith maybe come back from holidays to check in on Bruce. He’s unwell. #ableg

Are you skeptical of the Smith government's claims that immigrants are to blame for their own mismanagement of our social, health, and education systems? You should be. Check out this website to educate and equip yourself to fight back in this fall's referendum. ouralbertaadvantage.ca

Stop Premier Smith’s Scapegoating of Immigrants

Premier Danielle Smith is scapegoating immigrants to hide her own failures. Vote NO on her racist referendum.

With $130 million, we can buy 100 MRIs to cut wait time for 1000s of Alberans or buy 600 Ambulances prevent Albertans from dying while waiting 85 minutes for an Ambulance ride to hospital. I very sorry to say that our Premier has decided to spend that on a referendum that's dividing Albertans. 🖕

Feel free to look out the window for flying pigs, because I'm sharing a column by Lorne Gunter. "If every UCP minister who had fumbled the ball this summer were punted from cabinet, there wouldn’t be many ministers left." edmontonsun.com/opinion/colu...

Lorne Gunter: All-in-one licence rollout just the latest UCP red-tape disaster

If every UCP minister who had fumbled the ball this summer were punted from cabinet, there wouldn’t be many ministers left.

AI billionaire-funded Super PACs will spend millions in the home stretch of the midterms to crush the anti-data center revolt in battleground states. And that's just a drop in the bucket compared to how much these oligarchs would rake in from the AI takeover.

www.cbc.ca/listen/li... Listening to Minister LaGrange, I'm astounded that she cannot even answer the basic questions put to her. She's leading the attack on publicly funded HC, and yet can't even answer simple questions. Let's break down her answers: 1/11

Everyone's talking about how the Alberta referendum will be all about *turnout*. But how, exactly, would different turnout rates among separation supporters vs. stay-in-Canada supporters affect the outcome? I built a tool where you can play with the numbers and see for yourself:

The smaller side can win a referendum — or at least make it close

A side that's behind in the polls can still win if the other side stays home. Try it with the Alberta separation vote.

We’re changing the date to request a mail-in ballot! We’re changing the declaration that’s already on the ballots: actually, no, you can change it. Just cross it out. Your vote will still totally count. We also won’t jail you for two years. Honest! The UCP: our fuck-up, your government.

I have NO regrets about leaving Musk’s site. But I wish I could extend my reach here, with Alberta’s referendum hard upon us. Don’t be shy. Please follow. Please recommend me to your friends. I post about Canadian politics, Alberta, Edmonton, and an absurd array of other topics! #cdnpoli

«Lorsqu’elle a quitté Twitter, Paula Simons avait près de 80 000 abonnés, elle y décrivait en direct les débats au Sénat et avait «un engagement incroyable» avec ses abonnés. Plus le temps passait, plus le ton s’envenimait. Auj., elle encourage ses collègues parlementaires à quitter la plateforme.»
