A constituent of mine is 90 years old. He's wheelchair bound. He lives in a care facility. He has called Alberta home for over 70 years. He gave this province his taxes, his vote, his whole life. Now the UCP is putting his healthcare at risk.

Saw a Poilievre clip from an event today and his major slogan was "Faith, family, and freedom". WTF??? So anyone who's not christian, not in a "traditional" family, and who believes in civic responsibility and the means to achieve it is not welcome in the CPC's 🇨🇦. Cause we know that's what he means.

Tell Smith today to reverse course. Phone: 780-427-2251

His daughter went to renew his Alberta ID. She brought his 1953 Canadian citizenship certificate, issued the year he arrived here as a child. She was told it wasn't good enough. Only passports or birth certificates would do.

Amazing & important thread. The separatists don’t have to win to “win” a permanent foothold for their movement that can always be exploited in the future - with marginalized Albertans as collateral damage. After the vote, then what? The fight for our home is just beginning. #abpoli

Kurt Phillips (ARC Collective)@arccollective.bsky.social · last wk.

1/ Over the past several months that I’ve watched the Alberta separatists, it probably won’t be a surprise that there is a significant amount of bigotry and far-right conspiracy rhetoric in the ecosystem. One could do a big thread on that story, but this time went about that.

The world’s richest man, at it again. Reminder: “remigration” is far right code for the forced expulsion of ethnic “undesirables” in order to “purify” the nation.

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?

lmao at “bargain bin Elon Musk” but rachel has a point. there’s no reason for anyone avoiding substack because of politics to keep using shopify except that they simply don’t care as much when the political effects are felt in canada instead of the US.

Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social · last wk.

People claim to be doing progressive work and then do ad reads for the platform that literally keeps Canada’s bargain bin Elon Musk loaded. I get most Americans don’t think about Canada hardly ever but could you please, this once, think about the impact your actions have outside your borders?

Sometimes right-wing billionaires reveal something with their stupid oversharing. Take Shopify's Tobi Lutke: “I don’t know how (National Post) managed to avoid becoming a propaganda rag like all other legacy media, but it can’t have been easy." Ya, Tobi. That you think that is exactly the problem:
