The Courage to Listen Town Hall - United Conservative Party of Alberta Picture the vast, untamed wilderness of Alberta, its horizon punctuated by the majestic Rockies, its soil brimming with oil and gas reserves that fuel the nation’s economy; farms and ranches that feed...

I'm not here (or on Threads) to be famous. I come here to promote ideas I think are important, to contribute to those conversations, and to learn.

As soon as Bluesky matches Threads' character limit, I'll cross post everything.

If you're wondering why I don't post here:

1. The character limit here is less than Threads, so my longer posts (often 10-15 posts) have to be re-divided to fit Bluesky

2. Despite having twice my follower count here as on Threads, I get almost no response. On Threads, I have conversations.

Vincent Musetto passed away ten years, today. There is no reason why you should ever have heard of this former editor of the New York Post, other than he is the author of (arguably) the world's greatest newspaper headline: Headless Body in Topless Bar.

This may be his only visit. I hope he enjoys every moment!

I saw a bit of the King's day, when he was working the crowd. As he shook a man's hand, the guy said to the King, loudly, "It's an honour to meet you, my friend!"

What a perfectly Canadian thing to say! Polite, respectful, honest, and informal. I love us!

It would be administered by Elections Alberta, which is independent... and the UCP isn't competent enough to compromise that without being caught.

Separatist group releases potential Alberta referendum question | CBC News An Alberta separatist group released a referendum question on independence from Canada that it will petition to get in front of provincial voters later in 2025.

These yokel traitors can go fuck themselves. I'm Canadian.

Alrighty, time for the Red Wedding episode. Happy Mother's Day to everyone who celebrates!

Reminder: Outside of Portland, Oregon is Alabama with a different accent.

I swear, if the new Pope excommunicates JD Vance, I'll show up at mass on Sunday, drop a $20 in the collection plate, then high-five the priest on my way out the door.

Source? I can't seem to find it.

In the Oval Office, PM Mark Carney said “During the election campaign I met with the owners of Canada, and they said it's not for sale."

We elected the right guy, my friends, we really did.

He cares about this country and the people in it. He worked hard for us, and I know people who have benefited from the programs he helped usher in.

Thank you, @jagmeetsingh.ca. for your service.

Say what you want about Jagmeet Singh's leadership, and I can and have said plenty, but he helped usher in pharmacare, daycare, and dentalcare. He didn't write the bills but he pushed for them and helped pass them.

Alberta shocks nation with same election results they've turned out since 1958 #CanadaVotes #cdnpoli

Nope, not at all like Trump. Not. At. All.

Musk can walk away from Trump and DOGE knowing his $250 million got him EXACTLY what he wanted.

Not increased government efficiency, gutting the civil service, eliminating regulations, or growing his companies' govt contract work.

He wanted to kill the multiple investigations into him. Done.

It's a surrender of the responsibility of governing, where the people we elect can shrug their shoulders and say "gee, what are you gonna do? Guess we'll have to cut services."

This is some serious Hail Mary Pass bullshit. It's not as desperate as the 2015 Barbaric Cultural Practices Hotline, but it's still really dumb.

This is intended to appeal to voters who think, as one Ab UCP MLA put it, "painting a line down the middle of a road is too much government."

#CDNpoli

I wish JD Vance would spend more time with Trump. No reason.

NDP voters: A strategic vote in Calgary Confederation is for Corey Hogan!

Calgary Confederation & Calgary Centre are tied between Liberals and Cons.

NDP voters: orange is closer to red than blue.

Your vote may determine if Calgary gets real representation in a Carney majority government—or a former UCP MLA in opposition.

I'm watching Navy SEALs, a silly 1990 action flick, and I see my second* most hated movie trope; movie driving. I just... Michael Biehn is a professional actor, and more to the point, had presumably driven a real vehicle at some point prior to filming this scene.

* First is the Wilhelm Scream.

I'll say it again. If the CPC thought they could win on their actual ideas and plans, they wouldn't hide them or resort to dirty tricks and conspiracy theories.

Their ideas are deeply unpopular in Canada, but they don't think that should get in their way.

- Ask a neighbor/friend help if you need it. We're in this together!
- Your employer MUST, BY LAW give you 3 consecutive paid hours to vote on Election Day, though they get to choose the timing.

Look at when and where to vote.

Find a way to get to the polls!
- If you need a ride, many candidates have volunteers on standby to drive people, and if they don't, I'll bet they still find someone for you!
- If you are able, the polling station is likely close enough to walk.
