Danielle Smith want you to believe LGBTQ+ people are a threat, but I can’t remember the last time a LGBTQ person: -lied to people about vaccine safely -privatized health care to make it unaffordable -defunded education -removed safety regulations -celebrated Nazis -attacked the news media

Fun fact: it takes fewer votes to impeach and remove the president than to override a veto.

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

The separatists in Alberta lost. Badly. Why we don't have to go around pretending otherwise -- and why those who keep trying to platform their voices and reason with their unreasonable grievances are doing more harm than good. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/26/o...

I never liked Rubio but I remember thinking he was one of the more credible candidates. Those days are gone. He’s willingly submitted to the MAGA cult and his feeble spine has disintegrated. Maybe Trump was right calling him “little Marco” all along.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration asked Washington to set aside ballots from around 400 registered voters it claims may be noncitizens. The alarming request comes amid the DOJ's legal effort to compel California to do the same to 20k voters.

One thing I’ve learned about being a single man from watching Hallmark movies: You are absolutely going to die alone if you don’t have a strong apron game.

Seems relevant to Alberta.

Steve Benen@stevebenen.com

Trump’s team urged him not to celebrate higher oil prices ahead of the midterms. He ignored them — again. The guy seems convinced that consumers will celebrate Big Oil cashing in, even as they suffer at the pump. This probably isn’t what Republicans want voters to hear. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

IMO the UCP has been touting antibike legislation coming in Nov for 3 reasons. 1. Create a distraction from other things 2. Fires up their base 3. Nov is a cold month when the “nobody bikes in winter” lands with people on the fence #yycBike and #yegBike get those winter tires on this weekend! 😉

Very glad to hear that Elon Musk is a stickler for details on contractor – government relationships. Could come in handy later.

Lora Kolodny@lorak.bsky.social

Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

I’m starting to think that we need to have more parties at the provincial and federal level. It seems like assholes get a majority due to fear that decent parties will get a majority.

I get people being frustrated when their leaders seem entitled and they kick their government to the curb. What i don’t get is how this usually benefits conservatives when they are the most entitled.

If you’re attacking Ilhan Omar on a completely false claim about her brother but meanwhile ignore Trump’s own repeated statements on how he would date and sleep with his daughter Ivanka because he’s attracted to her, then I hate to break it to you but you’re pro incest and pro white supremacy. 😐
