Keep the dialogue going!

Susan Collins voted five times to let Trump continue his war in Iran. His tariffs are driving costs even higher. Mainers like Michelle are paying the price. Mainers deserve to thrive, not barely survive. On November 3, let’s put an end to this madness.

Just a casual reminder that Germans who “didn’t bother to vote” in 1932 didn’t get a chance again until 1946, after Hitler’s death. — There’s a lesson there.

GOP policies result in higher prices on EVERYTHING, making American life much more expensive. #VoteBLUE 💙 #VoteEARLY 🇺🇸 Pete Buttigieg Explains Why Your Bill Just Got More Expensive Under Trump youtu.be/s8jDCqLI00Y?... via @YouTube

🤩 This is a significant moment. Burnham says openly that Brexit has weakened 🇬🇧 economy, failed to deliver promised control over immigration and produced a harder Brexit than many people were led to expect in 2016. On rejoin EU: “I would like to see that happen in my lifetime.” And next 👇 🧵

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

These are the prospective fathers of the Republic of Alberta. Looks like we dodged a bullet and smoked out the UCP/APP alliance.

Empathy and kindness are so needed in the world we now live in 🫶

It’s exhausting…

A perfect children’s book for your little library! #ReadingWithPride www.stalbertgazette.com/local-arts-a...

We owe the U.S. no loyalty while Trump treats our country like the enemy. Canada has every right to choose who we do business with. We don’t need anyone’s permission to build a stronger, more independent future. 🇨🇦

Referendum highlighted the rural/urban divide, with the small cities situated between big cities and rural Alberta.

First they used the notwithstanding clause to override fundamental human rights. Next they came for library books. Now they are banning Pride flags. This is not how democracies operate. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

“It cost us probably at the end of the day about $200 million in tax payer money to do this. That would’ve hired teachers, doctors, nurses, 7500 EAs on five year contracts for example.” https://bit.ly/3UfkMRu

Today let’s take a moment to remember the ultimate sacrifice made 12 years ago by WO Patrice Vincent (20 Oct 2014) and Cpl Nathan Cirillo (22 Oct 2014). We will always remember them. 🙏💔 🕊️

Tom Mulcair: "I don't think that Danielle Smith should be allowed to pose herself as some sort of anti-separatist hero. She's the one who set this thing in motion, and I think that she should be answerable for it."

The first diagnosis I was given was “likely MS” After a year they said it wasn’t MS but they didn’t know what “it” was It took another 7 years to get diagnosed Christina Applegate is going through what so many of us go through She’s starting over in a medical system that doesn’t know how to help

“Sylvestre refuses. “I won’t be the guy that splits the right. I will not come up with a new party,” he said. “If the progressives want to leave the UCP, they’re very welcome to do it. We’re not going anywhere.” www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Mom and dad aren't mad, they’re just disappointed that you experimented with separation.

This! 💯

This Right Here🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁

Thomas Lukaszuk on the future of the UCP: "The United Conservative Party, unfortunately, has become a separatist party. [Danielle Smith] painted herself into a bit of a political corner."

Thank you First Nations! 🧡🪶

Naheed Nenshi on the immigration questions: "I am happy to have a conversation on numbers. I am not happy to have a conversation on the dignity of newcomers, and I'm not happy to have people voting on whether other people should have human rights."

Naheed Nenshi on Indigenous turnout in the Alberta referendum: "The very people who've been hurt more by the mistakes of Canada than anybody else, stood up as the proudest champions of Canada."

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

Alberta has sent a message to the world that Canada will not be broken. Canada will not be divided. It wasn't even close. But we need answers as to who in the State Department and the US Embassy in Canada were involved in the meetings to try and break up this beautiful land.

😔

Canada and Switzerland named most liked countries in the world 🇨🇦🇨🇭

The numbers coming in from Alberta are wild. Traditionally conservative blue Calgary voted in numbers as high as 89% to support Canada. The separatist gang were crushed. Sucks to be you Danielle Smith and Pete Hoekstra.

Avi Lewis: "The entire process was unnecessary. Nobody asked for it. Danielle Smith's career has been defined by a slow walk towards separation. All of the questions are designed to stoke division in Alberta, and she is the one who is responsible for that."

Local woman wakes up, thanks 76% of Alberta for not being fucko buckos but reminds us that as we get the results from the rest of the 9 questions, this province still has a long way to go developing critical thinking skills and unlearning systemic racism, makes oatmeal.

This is a great day in Canada. We put the run on the MAGA attempt to break up our country. But we need investigations into the role of the White House, the US embassy and Russian BOT farms in trying to destroy our nation. We need to make sure this never happens again. youtube.com/shorts/CsfsV...
