Five alarm fire for democracy in Canada.
Not just Alberta.
The whole country.
Not hyperbole. When we take away effective representation, we no longer have a real claim to being a liberal democracy. If Alberta gets away with this, other provinces will follow.
Max once again out here doing the Lord’s work on factchecking nonsense about pollution pricing for the country’s biggest emitters
*by 2030, not 2050 - which would make a mockery of the whole enterprise
There’s a lot riding on the industrial carbon price and a functional national credit market - the only pillars of serious climate policy left in Canada.
Means Govt of Canada cannot cave to Alberta’s misunderstanding of what they agreed to in the MOU.
Effective industrial price of $130 or bust

Let’s just acknowledge that this kind of attack is foundationally antisemitic at its core
2023 is far past the time when Orban openly spent his waking hours kowtowing to Putin.
Sometimes I think about this tweet.
Excited for the return of David Cochrane to CBC’s Power and Politics!
A more upstanding mensch you shall not find in Canadian politics.
This is how you can fight back against separatism and stand up for your province and your country.

This is excellent work and Calgarians have an incredible resource here.
i wonder if JD Vance would be surprised to know many husbands don't have to make their wives promise not to jump out of airplanes
Legendary line
Prime Minister Mark Carney with Liberal MPs Marilyn Gladu and Evan Solomon
If I travelled through time to the year 2016 and told 2016 Me that this would be what the Liberal Government will look like in the year 2026, I would ask 2026 Me if I was high on shrooms
I’ve been trying books lately. Listen to tomorrow’s @balanceofpowerpod.ca for @annaliseak.bsky.social and my Q1 update on…books.
A good time to remind Cdns @liberalca.bsky.social slashed agriculture/food research agencies across Canada - agencies which delivered key research in maintaining food security through climate change, extreme weather & droughts.

This is a Ukraine🧵but the immediate future of Ukraine, and the EU, + European security, rests on what happens in Hungary's election
And while I was compiling the Hungary mini-thread, Bloomberg published a transcript of a private call with Putin where Orbán prostituted himself, quoting Aesop's fable
Avi Lewis’ victory has many implications
— why did @canadianlabour.bsky.social unions not show up

NDPers @sphillipsab.bsky.social + Keith McLaughlin break it down on latest MBP Intel

The UCP would win re-election today under the current existing boundaries that were drawn in 2017 and the majority report’s map, but the minority report’s map would make it basically impossible for the NDP to ever win in enough ridings to form a majority government — and that’s the point.
“I worry the exercise has already emboldened Alberta’s worst people — our separatist-coddling premier chief among them.”
Me too.
Rosa Parks gets the boot from Alberta’s education system.
Worth a read, Albertans, if you’re someone who plans to live here and access health care at any point in your life.
*do not need…
Sigh
Oh totally but I am going to start a leftwing libertarian militia, I am so sick of these people
I have a basement full of nerf guns who is with me
