🧵The conversation around the University of Alberta "ending" EDI in hiring is purposely confusing in a way that strategically benefits the university and misleads everyone
The question is, should a university grounded in academic freedom censor itself due to government pressure?
This song was inspired by folks working hard to protect our Eastern Slopes #Rockies from #coalmining. In advocating to protect our water, Alberta rancher Laura Laing said, "Coal is a thirsty business," so of course, I had to write this song! #WaterNotCoal

Thank you SO much to the experts who are speaking up and advocating for the health of us all!
Join us for a lunch-hour info picket to demand urgent federal action to enforce the Canada Health Act! Bill 11 opens the door to two-tier health care and is the biggest threat to our universal Medicare system we’ve ever seen. Join Friends of Medicare in Calgary and in Edmonton, outside MP offices.
Rural albertan here. There are some who are for sure. Prior Edmontonion. There are some who are for sure.
Divide and distract. Now it’s the seniors who are the problem. NOPE. It’s the UCP alone that are the problem.
Late last Thursday, I made my best effort to amend C-4 in a sensible and concrete way. I failed, alas. But here is a link to the argument I made. #cdnpoli #C4 #BillC4 #SenateofCanada
18.64 million EV chargers in China versus 35,000 across Canada.

😳 SO lucky that wasn’t there prior to my retirement.
I wondered why he had been removed from practice.
He saw me for a heart issue we jointly decided not to treat. He made me uncomfortable way back then. I’m still alive so I assume his medical suggestion wasn’t wrong…
Friends of Medicare is working hard for us all! Please join them if you haven’t yet!
It’s contagious this right wing BS.

When you have a Chihuahua you know this sequence that "Cornered Chihuahua" look? 🐕
Puffing up to act bigger and louder because she knows she’s caught. We all knew she was lying about the AMA; now the receipts are out. Also notice the whites of her eyes.

Sounds like a great online event! #ABpoli #ABleg Let's support PADA
And this, my friends, is why Press Progress is invaluable in Canada’s media ecosystem. Keeps folks honest. Good job @lukelebrun.ca
Great podcast aired this morning; Corb Lund talking about the petition and the horrible Coal push by the UCP. The more folks we can get collecting signatures (we greatly need more!) the faster we can get this done! If you can, please sign on and join us! 😀

I don’t approve of charter schools receiving ANY public funds. I don’t want an Alberta police force. I want healthcare operated by professionals and not politicians (medical professionals and financial professionals). I don’t want Australian billionaires digging for coal on the eastern slopes.
Albertans: your premier is lying to you.
As an Iranian in exile as some call it, I want nothing more than a regime change in Iran.
But what I don't want is my country destroyed, people killed, and all looted by Americans!

Bit of confirmation bias here? The title stating « linked » is not accurate. There’s correlation only.
She wrote it while lying about who she was; hurting and using indigenous people while using her privilege (she did not endure residential school or its many huge ramifications that ripple out through generations) to scam us all.
Buffy? The liar? The cheat? The profiteering off of indigenous people? The theft of identity?
Why is Canada supporting US and Israel’s attack on Iran? Grovelling for a better deal? It’s ok to attack any dangerous country or one they call dangerous? North Korea then? Russia? Oh maybe not because they actually DO have nuclear capabilities. I’d truly like to understand.
People will die but we might profit from it so it’s all ok.
Absolutely brilliant. Must watch.
Budget 2026: A $9.4B deficit. Funny how they can't balance the books, but they can commit $1.2B to the Calgary arena project—with taxpayers covering 70% of the cost. "Fiscal responsibility" shouldn't mean subsidizing NHL owners. 🏟️🏦🚫 #Ableg #ABpoli
