For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

At least $50 billion for another pipeline. $82 billion in new military spending in 5 years. $300 billion in corporate welfare and mega incentives at an investment summit. But the cupboard is bare for Parks Canada.

2,671 PSAC members at Parks Canada received notice this week that their positions may be cut. These cuts put our environment, natural and cultural heritage, parks, and national historic sites at risk. psacunion.ca/psac-raises-...

The Alberta referendum vote has pulled the rug out from MAPLE MAGA. Look at how Smith's questions on creating a constitutional crisis went down to defeat.

Alberta deserves better than a premier who treats division as a political strategy. Danielle Smith has allowed the separatist fringe to dominate political discourse in the province, shifting attention away from affordability, healthcare and education. She needs to resign.

cultmtl.comAlbertans chose Canada. Danielle Smith must resignAlbertans rejected the referendum pushed by Premier Danielle Smith, sending a clear message that it's time for her to resign.

I’m hearing from friends in Alberta that today is actually hitting folks pretty hard. Not the vote to remain, which was a relief, but the other 9 questions.

ALBERTANS, THANK YOU! Today, I am thankful for the 18,000 #ForeverCanadian volunteers that trusted and supported me for the last 18 months. I’m also thankful for everyone who voted to keep Canada united. I’d like to drive the Unity Bus into a sunset, but there may more to do. #ableg #cdnpoli

It’s pretty wild the CBC would take this approach to a demonstrably false claim by the premier of Alberta… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Last week, I finally had enough with the CBC refusing to fact check Smith’s lie that this referendum is the result of the Citizen Initiative Act. The response was to claim oh but it’s the “spirit of the law!”and my follow up.

I know the referendumb is stupid and the majority of Albertans don’t want it, but please vote. Take snacks, and maybe a lawn chair, and stay in line. Vote to send this idiot government a message. #ableg #abpoli #NoToTheNine

VOTE as if Canada’s future depends on it, because it does. If you’re hoping to send a message to Ottawa, your message was already heard. Please, don’t send a message to investors that Alberta is in turmoil till another $130,000,000 referendum. Now is time to focus on solutions.

This is not meant to discourage you from voting Please show up and cast your ballots Albertans are paying a lot for this referendum nightmare I just want people to be prepared for the madness Smith has unleashed on us #ableg #abpoli

Canadian In Alberta@canadianinalberta.bsky.social

A heads up for those planning to vote on Monday It takes longer to vote in this referendum because it simply takes longer to mark, fold and place 10 questions in their boxes Be patient This isn't the poll workers fault It's all down to Smith & the UCP for putting us through this #ableg #abpoli

Our public services are struggling, our unemployment is high, and our country is at risk. Alberta only got here because of one person and one party: Danielle Smith and the UCP. Let’s send them a very strong message at the ballot boxes. 🇨🇦

There is so much bait-and-switch in Canada’s “digital sovereignty“ (heh) strategy. Bottom line is that building out massive polluting AI data centres to host US tech companies is a form of digital colonialism: they control the tech & the profits, and export the dirtiest, lowest-value part abroad.

Zelenskyy simply and accurately explains why giving up the Donbas won’t end the war: "Putin says he wants the Donbas, but why, at the start of the full-scale invasion, was he trying to occupy Kyiv? Is that the east of our country? Is that the Donbas? No, that’s the capital.
