I've had to mention a lot this week that immigrants pay the same taxes as citizens. Essential public services like healthcare and education are for Canadian residents, not just Canadian citizens. Citizenship has nothing to do with what you pay into it, or what you should get out of it besides votes.
So first you're claiming that immigrants don't pay enough taxes because they are already discriminated against in good job opportunities, being pigeon-holed into lower-wage job positions, and because of that you want to discriminate on their job opportunites even further? The beginning of apartheid.

But even ignoring the lack of factual evidence of these claims, let's break down what the accusation actually means. If migrants are paying less income tax than citizens, all that means is that they are more exploited and paid less. It means they are being discriminated against in job opportunities.

I first read this and thought, "What? The most votes on one ballot is over 2 million. That's nowhere near the eligible voters in Alberta (well over 3 million). That's plain misinformation!" Then I read Parker's explanation and I went, "Wait... what? Did they actually think...?!" #abpoli #ableg #MAGA

Irfan Sabir posted the riding-speciifc results for Calgary-Bhullar-McCall, which has the most immigrants in Calgary (immigrants can't vote, but their neighbours can). They overwhelmingly voted No to all the 9 questions, up to 89% on one and 70s on some others. For a better idea of who is voting Yes.

substack.com/@rawstory/no... Albanians just burned down their supreme court building in Tirana after judges allowed Jared Kushner to buy land in their country for his luxury real estate development against their will. 🔥
This government spent $4 million of our public tax dollars on advertising their preferred answers to their own 9 questions, while the No to the Nine campaign was entirely volunteer funded and operated. We paid handsomely for our own indoctrination, while the UCP will call it a "grassroots movement".

“More than 100 polls staying open late, delaying results” Everyone can go to bed early. Unless you still have to vote. Then you get to stay up.
"Voter Suppression"
🚨BREAKING: A top federal prosecutor in Texas began the first day of early voting with a stark message to voters: “If you violate federal election law, I will hunt you down and prosecute you. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. We’ll see you out at the polls.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
It's gross that DJs still spin Aqua's "Barbie Girl" when Ava Max's "Not Your Barbie Girl" exists. youtu.be/dvLm14-zDM8?... #misogyny

On X, users have circulated nonconsenual AI videos created by Grok of a woman they think is Jane Doe. They continue to spread her name. People have praised X for staying relevant for AI and tech conversation. But it also is the main vector for a doxing. That is X. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/n...

This comes a week after Edmonton City Council voted down a motion by @michaeljanz.bsky.social to push back against Transportation Minister Devon Dreeshen's removal of photo radar and red light cameras. He called Dreeshen the "deadliest transportation minister" in Alberta's history.

(Reuters) - The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter. @reuters.com 🇺🇦 www.reuters.com/world/europe...
Conducted by the Institute of Middle East Understanding and YouGov, the poll attempts to provide an answer to the question of why Harris received six million fewer votes than Biden received in 2020. Biden voters cited "ending Israel’s violence in Gaza" as their top reason for withholding their vote.
