Latest referendum results. As far as I can tell Elections Alberta has not released the total number of unique individuals that participated in the referendum so I used the question with the highest responses (#10) to calculate total number of voters. #AlbertaReferendum #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"Addresses and phone numbers appeared most frequently, alongside tens of thousands of personal emails, licence plates and hundreds of banking details related to cash rewards β€” information that could all be used to uncover an individual's identity." #canada #cybersecurity www.cbc.ca/news/investi...

Credit where credit is due. Dani called the NDP "marginal" while keeping a straight face. Not sure how many people could pull that off. She calls a divisive referendum no one wanted and then calls 40% of Albertans marginal. #AlbertaReferendum #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Latest data shows: - 76% reject separatism - 48-63% said yes to the 9 - On average only 50% of Albertans who went to the polls bothered responding to the 9 #AlbertaReferendum #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"Smith says she attended True North event to sway separatists." What other reason could Dani have to attend a closed door event to speak alongside separatists, racists, and assholes so bigoted even Conservative parties reject them? #abpoli #daniellesmith #cdnpoli

I wonder why LNG "Canada" is ok with their facility flaring at 15x normal and raining black soot on Canadian homes. LNG Canada Ownership: Shell (UK) 40% Petronas (Malaysia) 25% PetroChina 15% Mitsubishi (JPN) 15% Korea Gas 5% #canada #climatesky #latestagecapitalism #cdnpoli

It was reassuring to hear Trump say that instead of regulating AI he would rely on a moral obligation from the least moral people alive. #latestagecapitalism #pauseai #techbro #peoplevsbigtech

A wise man once said "Climate change is the Tragedy of the Horizon". Then he scrapped an EV mandate, environmental regulations, and approved massive expansion of fossil fuels. #canada #climatesky #latestagecapitalism #cdnpoli

Mind blowing to me that some are celebrating LNG expansion. I have to assume they don't know the science. How does freezing a greenhouse gas to -160C make sense in 2026? Would you want a Statue of Liberty sized flame in your backyard? #canada #latestagecapitalism #cdnpoli

Elon's 2 Sieg Heils at the U.S. inauguration make more sense after watching this PBS doc. I never knew that thousands of Americans sent their kids to Hitler youth camps with streets named after now infamous fascists. This is why we need publicly funded independent media. #uspoli #fightfascism

Some justify offshoring/outsourcing saying corporations have no choice due to globalization. These companies could still turn a healthy profit while creating Canadian jobs. The only reason they don't is to enrich their already wealth shareholders. #cdnpoli #canada #latestagecapitalism

In the last 4 days another federal Conservative MP and the B.C. Conservative leader resigned. Poilievre endorsed Findlay and within 4 months of winning she lost 14 MLAs. Conservatives clearly have a leadership crisis. #cdnpoli #canada #neverpoilievre #neverconservatives

I heard someone regurgitating fossil fuel propaganda that EVs are just as bad as ICE vehicles because of Lithium mining. Not only are there alternatives (e.g. salt) but if mining is a concern, how do they justify the catalytic convertor? #climatesky #evs #latestagecapitalism

With the federal CONs dividing Canadians and Alberta CONs trying to break up the country I understand the need for unity. Despite that I can't get behind Harper's invite to speak at the investment summit. It's easy to forget the type of PM he was. Here's a reminder. #cdnpoli #canada

In 2024 Smith begged Trudeau for immigrants to DOUBLE AB's population despite hospitals/schools already being over capacity. Now she calls a referendum to ask for more control over immigration. Make it make sense. A perfect example of CONservative politics. #abpoli #cdnpoli #canada #DanielleSmith

Canadian Tire spent $85M to quietly layoff over 1K Canadians & outsource their jobs to India/Ukraine while giving $400M back to shareholders. $30M to save The Bay brand then exploited patriotism by slapping the stripes on cheap products from China and India. #latestagecapitalism #cdnpoli #canada

16 months after the federal election and the Liberal party hasn't lost any momentum. Conservatives lost to Liberal, NDP, and Bloc candidates. 80% of voters in the 3 recent byelections chose NOT to vote CONservative. #cdnpoli #pierrepoilievre #canada #neverpoilievre

Big corporations are making it harder to buy Canadian. Ever notice Canadian Tire doesn't even have a "Buy Canadian" section? Canadian Tire owns most of the brands they sell yet they choose to manufacture nearly every product offshore. #latestagecapitalism #fightoligarchy #cdnpoli #canada

Stock buybacks are an insane vehicle for wealth transfer. Apple is jacking up it's prices while handing $100B to shareholders. Since 2012 they overcharged $1 trillion for their products and gifted it to investors. #latestagecapitalism #fightoligarchy #techbro #peoplevsbigtech #uspoli #cdnpoli

Fossil fuel drilling, pipelines, and refineries costs billions. Despite massive profits the industry offloads these costs on taxpayers then leaves us to clean up their expensive toxic mess. Make it make sense. #latestagecapitalism #cdnpoli #canpoli #canada #sustainability #climatechange #climate

Proud of our elected officials for standing up against the fascist Epstein class. The volatile American administration will almost certainly be weaker after the mid-terms. #fightoligarchy #cdnpoli #canada #uspol #MAGA #BlueWave

I've never heard of a country being "bombed back to the stone age" over solar, wind or hydro energy. #latestagecapitalism #cdnpoli #canpoli #cdnpolitics #canada #sustainability #climatechange #climate

One of the few benefits of AI is that it now takes 10 seconds to completely debunk right wing bullshit artists' propaganda social media posts. Too bad these chuds will never implement this in their platforms. #fightoligarchy #pauseai #fixourfeeds #techbro #peoplevsbigtech
