To the 25% who has held us all hostage for the past six months (and your GD leader):

Ha! My kid isn’t the only 1st year Uni student who got brow beaten (along with most of his class) today? 😂

I find this whole…discussion??…baffling. But sometimes funny.

Example of a word salad (a whole bunch of words tossed together): “Don’t chase the wackado woke, DEI, socialist easy fix for nothing ideas because of emotions getting ahead of logic.” -Shane Getson

Oh, this. The burn of burns. My gawd. Thank you.

Pedro Pascal on supporting transgender people: "I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist."

Like, WTF is THIS? bsky.app/profile/erin...

Didn’t Obama endorse this guy? Like…what is happening NOW?!?

Can anyone make out who this brunette bombshell of inclusivity and justice is? Asking for a friend…

Sorry, Danielle, can you speak up? They couldn’t hear you at the back…

Having lived in BC under one said pseudo-Lib government: This. 👇

FWIW, I’m seeing several ridings where you could make a plausible argument that Green vote splitting elected Conservatives, but even taking those into account, you still end up with the Conservatives winning a majority

This government is completely out of step with the actual priorities of Albertans. I can't believe you can fly an Oilers flag, but not a Treaty or Pride flag.

This is a fun thread. Hippos were always my fave at the Calgary Zoo.

Hang on to your hats, BC Public Schools. You are about to lose your world-renowned inclusive education program. I’m sorry parents of queer kids. Hug them tight.

Pay attention to Greens provincially and federally. They actually have clear election platforms. That are costed. With new ideas. Y’know, political-like.

I love your work, @kathleenpetty.bsky.social, but on yesterday’s podcast you let Smith get away with saying her supporters are “concerned about young children being transgendered behind their parents’ backs.” This hateful garbage needs to be challenged, especially when smoothly coming from Premier.

Art.

The REPLIES!!!!! 😂😂😂

I feel scene.

Call me cynical, but I feel those who "might be at risk of" being influenced to change their vote .. off a motion made by city council .. likely aren't politically engaged enough to read the motion in the first place?! Also: did anyone ELSE read the vote-influencing-mail sent directly by the ABGov?

Spent the past couple weeks enjoying S1 &2 of North of North (❤️❤️❤️) and tonight started watching Below with a couple of Newfs in the house. The Canadian content is strong around here. 🇨🇦

Can a bunch of folks get together and sue the government in a class action for breach of trust? Asking for a friend.

This is archaic. And authoritarian. And deeply, deeply shitty. Hey UCP: Catholicism is an IDEOLOGY. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

I grew up in rural AB. It seems to me that my former peers want those of us who live and work in urban areas to pay for EVERYTHING. Their doctors’ buildings & hospitals, their Costco parking lots, the highways they drive their equipment on, etc. They want to be in charge and us to be their bank.

“Here’s the short list of your accomplishments: Record government spending. Rising cost of living. The country’s lowest minimum wage. Stressed-out food banks. A decade-long decline in wages. Rising car insurance premiums. Ballooning government debt. A bloated bureaucracy. A struggling health……”

It would be deeply ironic if the election of a BC Conservative government, and the ensuing war with First Nations in that province, scuttled the oil pipeline so many Conservatives in BC claim to support.

Thanks Nathan!! #Lethbridge

One (another) thing that drives me nuts about AB Petroleum Club type cons is that they screamed & yelled about the federal Lib-NDP agreement (they called it a coalition) as undemocratic. Not a peep as their ACTUAL provincial coalition spends all its time & $$ on the COALITION and not on governing.

Serbia, France, India. C’mon kids. Keep it comin’!

Here is Alberta's Premier, lying again, deflecting, and refusing to accept responsibility for putting the Canada question on the ballot. It's always 'other people' when things don't go her way. Nothing new, but she is not fit to hold public office. #ableg #abpoli

I guess it’s not surprising after Tuesday’s #Lethbridge City Council meeting that this post is picking up some steam. A week after I put it out. If you haven’t seen it yet, enjoy!

We in Lethbridge did a little better, but we still need more civic edumucation.

Whilst I was lazy-man’s-loading my stuff out of the spare room (outlaws are comin’) I discovered something. I call it: The Accessoreasel!

It never ceases to amaze me how the mayor never takes accountability for any of his actions that contribute to the very concerns he identifies as issues we need to overcome as a community. lethbridgenewsnow.com/2026/10/22/l...

I should have said, that’s what Danielle Smith started with. Also: does anyone else think that Gina Rinehart had Brian Jean by the short and curlies and, in turn, Jean has Smith by her short and curlies? Which is why Smith is willing to throw the water of southern Alberta under her election bus?

Dear @albertandp.ca, As we veer into a likely bitter, year-long election campaign, please don’t forget about coal and queer kids. That’s what the UCP started with, and those issues CANNOT be forgotten.

To the folks who said all Canadian separatists live in Alberta, Albertans will now take your Canadian apology. (As for the government who made the referendum happen, Albertans are STILL apologizing and working tirelessly to remedy that)

As the count continues, we are getting a clearer picture of the results from Monday's AB referendum: 1. Separation was trounced 2. No real mandate on the heavily pushed Q1-9 Big picture: the Urban-Rural divide Cgy+Edm voted No on all questions Rest of Alberta (combined) voted Yes
