Canadian In Alberta@canadianinalberta.bsky.social

For 51 of the last 55 yrs conservatives have been in power in Alberta That's 51 years of underfunding healthcare & education But according to conservatives, 4 years of NDP government destroyed Alberta The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over & expecting a different result

The American owned Sun is promoting a vigilante as the face for Canada's most multicultural and open city. This is same American owned paper that said crack-smoking Rob Ford should be elected mayor. Toronto - you're better than this. Let's get out the vote for Olivia Chow.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I’d love to know who this fiery, patriotic young woman is, so I could follow her social media or Substack. This is EXACTLY how the fuck we should all be feeling about the corrupt, criminal regime that’s infested the White House. This shit has to end. And people like this woman will lead the way.

Congrats, BC! Enjoy the cuts to services and privatization. It’s not like we didn’t warn you. Welcome aboard the Alberta–Ontario train wreck. #cdnpoli #bcpoli

If the B.C. election result stings for you tonight, remember that this province once forced a majority government to back down on a tax it had just brought in. A new government still answers to the same people who hired it.

It's time to take our power back! Doug Ford is allowing US tech billionaires to take our water, raise our bills and pollute our air. Join us in calling for a provincial moratorium on AI Data Centres in Ontario now.

The Budapest Memorandum was signed in 1994 giving security assurances to Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and borders in exchange for surrendering 1,900 nuclear warheads to Russia for dismantling. The U.S. pledged to seek United Nations action if Ukraine became the victim of aggression.

Doug Ford had failed everyone in the Province of Ontario! But nothing will ever be done if you continue to sit on your ASS and dont vote him out! When will enough be enough??🇨🇦

Paul Calandra has put 8 Ontario school boards under supervision for financial mismanagement so having Stan Cho - who spent thousands of dollars on Toronto hotel rooms despite living in the city - as his parliamentary assistant makes perfect sense in Doug Ford’s Ontario. 🙃

John Manley on U.S. allegations of election meddling by Canada: "My first reaction when I saw the document that was put out by the U.S. Embassy was, surely the ambassador, Mr. Hoekstra, has something better to do than come up with this nonsense."

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta. So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state? Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.

“Ontarians should be outraged that taxpayer dollars are fuelling what is ultimately just a wasteful and harmful culture war. Drivers will face the same amount of traffic, while lives will be put at risk.” buff.ly/vlfGlqL

buff.lyDoug Ford’s government rejected Toronto’s proposals to restore traffic lanes and keep bike lanes: sourcesToronto Mayor Olivia Chow says the province walked away from compromises to restore traffic lanes while keeping bike lanes on major streets.

More than 2 years after Doug Ford cut down 800 trees & levelled Ontario Place to give a sweetheart deal to a sketchy foreign spa company & more than a year after I predicted the spa would never be built the site remains a "world class" pile of dirt. #ONpoli #TOpoli

Andrew Lewis FC@andrewlewisfc.bsky.social

The Doug Ford/Therme Spa will never be built despite the billion dollar taxpayer subsidy given to this foreign corporation. Ford's legacy will be a 800 trees chopped, a pile of dirt, and a shuttered Science Centre, and a massive multi-level waterfront parking garage blocking the lake.

“…there is no empirical evidence that ties bike lanes as the sole source of congestion, (nor) is there data that shows removing bike lanes help with better traffic flow…removing bike lanes leads to less safe roads for cyclists and pedestrians.” Contact Doug Ford 416-325-1941 premier@ontario.ca

To be clear, evil billionaire scumbag Zuckerberg shutting down the official No Kings account in the middle of nationwide protests isn’t a mistake, it’s an assault on a free speech and expression, it’s pure fascism.

Here's Danielle Smith asking Justin Trudeau for more people to immigrate to Alberta. Given this request, it's strange she didn't have to foresight or aptitude to understand these people would have to use basic services. RESIGN SMITH❕

As a fun demonstration of some differences between Canadian and American politics, here is a *Democratic* Senator from *California* talking about Canada-US relations and in this thread he suggests Canada should start selling US wine again and shows off about his meeting with Danielle Smith.

I just returned from my first CODEL to Canada, where I advocated for my California constituents suffering from the president’s tariff wars with our Northern neighbor. Canadians have been among our closest allies, fighting side-by-side in both world wars and innumerable other conflicts.

Today in Grade 3 S: Why does it matter who gets elected? Me: Because that person makes decisions for a few years. S: Like what? Me: Doug Ford is the leader of ON. He decided to remove Toronto bike lanes. S: WHAT?! But bike lanes keep you safe! It’s official. Doug Ford is dumber than an 8-year old.
