Smith says she's cutting access to social support programs because she "heard that people were moving here just to be on social programs."
This sort of hearsay framing is a dangerous rhetorical device employed by populists. Consider Donald Trump. +
Correction:
Danielle Smith is an exceptional manipulator and gaslighter.
"Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based Meta subcontractor, according to Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet and Goteborgs-Posten.
'We see everything - from living rooms to naked bodies,' one worker reportedly said."
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth...It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken."

1/ PM Carney: you can and must categorically rule out participation in this illegal war.
Your unqualified support of Trump and Netanyahu’s war was bad enough. It’s unconscionable that you’re now considering putting Canadian forces in harm’s way.
Last week, we held a critical conversation on Canada’s complicity in the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Despite the supposed ‘ceasefire,’ Gaza is still being starved, bombed, and invaded by Israel in real time with the support of Canadian-made weaponry.
Israel has shut down Al-Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan, the holiest month of the year for Muslims, preventing thousands from praying at one of their religion’s holiest sites.
Israel’s closure of Al-Aqsa is an unprecedented escalation in Israel’s control over Palestinian lives.
A BC court found an Alberta separatist movement leader misappropriated $1.3 million of his elderly aunt and uncle’s money. Their niece says Dennis Modry hasn’t paid it back.
I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal.
After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.
Here’s my investigation:
Images posted to Alpha Athletika’s Telegram channel show its members posing for propaganda pictures in the gym, with huge flags unfurled and Nazi imagery on at least one member’s workout clothes.
@rachelgilmore.bsky.social reports.
we’re tearing down the international system all so a rogue apartheid state can commit a genocide and bomb any country that won’t go along with it
The Alberta Medical Association with a rebuttal to Danielle Smith blaming them for triage doc delays.
AMA says they aren't responsible for the delay, claiming confusion amongst govt ministries about processes tied to the TLP positions is the culprit.
Ben Mulroney accidentally shares video with fake footage of him being a respected media figure
NEW FROM ME:
While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran
I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game
Oral contraceptives should be made free and over-the-counter to help eliminate both cost and structural barriers created by discrimination. Reducing barriers to contraceptives is shown to have measurable benefits.
maybe israel should dismantle its apartheid system and stop bombing so many of its neighbors so its citizens don’t see bomb shelters as a second home
Carney puts rules-based international order sign back in window
This quiet Sunday morning, I am hoping to touch a few of you over morning tea, as you scan the headlines. Please consider the work that I and the @coalition4jhr do. The only way we can continue is with a healthy base of monthly donors. $50/$25/$15/$5 . SEE PINNED POST
If you spend time in the bad place, you’re hearing this claim a lot:
Alberta sends $23B more to Ottawa than it gets back. If we separated, we’d erase the $9B deficit and have a $14B surplus.
It sounds simple. It’s wrong. Here's why. 🧵
Forget elbows; we need a spine: If Ottawa won’t condemn Trump’s violations of international law, who will speak out when he comes for Canada?

If this amount is true, and I highly doubt it is this high, that equates to roughly $350 per non-permanent resident.
Three hundred and fifty dollars 🤦♀️

I know it’s almost impossible to say this on Bluesky without getting a strike, but if you seriously cared about peace in the Middle East, it’s Israeli leadership that you need to remove — ideally by an international legal process — while keeping the US from destabilizing it even further.
Who is advising you @mark-carney.bsky.social ? Because this is a horrendous take. Supporting violations of international and domestic law
Bombing for peace is like fu*king for virginity

Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:
BREAKING: The death toll from a strike that hit a school in southern Iran has risen to 85 people, an official says on Iranian state TV.
Follow AP's live updates for more.
Canada/US has attacked Indigenous women, girls & Two Spirit historically and currently. Kill the femmes, colonialism wins. 💔 Of course that was taught to Israel..
A graphic showing a list of costs to Alberta taxpayers which total $10 billion wasted.
There's a lot of talk in Alberta about the latest budget.
Here's a short (and incomplete) list of why the UCP budget for 2025-26 is forecasting a multi-year deficit which has nothing to do with Ottawa nor immigrants.
