3 UCP legislature committee members forced a vote through to deny me, the proponent of #ForeverAlberta petition, Alberta’s largest ever petition, to appear before the committee and speak on behalf of the nearly 500,000 Albertans.
This is another move to assist the separatists.
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Where do they find people this dumb?
A network of 20 inauthentic YouTube accounts has racked up nearly 40 million views by peddling lies, grievance, division and narratives normalizing the prospect of Alberta’s secession and annexation by the United States. @charlesrusnell.bsky.social reports. #abpoli
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Health system problems in Alberta are matched in many developed countries. This suggests the AB government’s moves toward privatization will improve nothing and are merely an example of a gov’t taking advantage of a broad situation to impose ideological goals.

Or maybe at an even deeper level it has something to do with a civic culture of endless victimhood, endless grievance, and endless thinking we're better than everyone else and our lives and bank accounts would be better if only … (fill in blank).
Extremely funny, sort of. Whatever and wherever you write, it always pays to read things over before publishing, and maybe even run the text past someone else for a second opinion.
Smith says that she wants to redraw the maps to ensure that rural gets the representation it deserves because rural constituencies are complex & too big.
This compares the majority report & the minority report.
It's the cities that get carved up, rural barely moves.
The EU now requires all Mobile Phones to be sold with easily replaceable and standardised batteries, as they used to be.
From 2027 they all will be again, in Europe.
Bell: Alberta will now be on daylight saving time year-round, says Premier Smith - Calgary Herald
But actual sleep scientists say STANDARD TIME IS HEALTHIER - not daylight savings time -so of course Dani picks the wrong one (like BC & Jason Kenny did) #abpoli #cdnpoli

"Crown said all charges will be stayed because of court delays & misconduct by the prosecution. Alberta Justice declined to comment."
Unacceptable secrecy.
Will the public & complainants be told about the Crown misconduct, including accountability for it?

Danielle Smith has a plan to destroy public health care in Alberta—and she’s not doing it alone.
Documents and lobbying records reveal the government is consulting directly with Canada’s private insurance giants on how to implement two-tier health care, reports @nikbarryshaw.bsky.social
“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least 3x… a pattern.”
The most corrupt regime ever.
Starting to prepare an ABlawg post on Bill 30 the Expedited Project Approvals bill.
One of the things the minister may consider in designating a project follows below. Question, how on earth does a project respect provincial jurisdiction? Incoherent drafting.

Saturday protest in Georgia. Two sides of life, someone is still living, driving to warm homes with indifference on their faces, but fortunately people are not giving up,a large crowd is gathered to protest. Remember where carelessness and indifference leads people. #GeorgiaProtests

The rhetoric of Iran's theocratic and military leaders tells you everything you need to know about their trustworthiness and propensity to violence. Trump is bad but so are these guys. As I said, it's like watching a knife fight in an insane asylum.
Straight up milking the market
Screenshot of a tweet by Headquarters (@HQNewsNow) reporting that the Trump administration ended an $11 million Catholic Charities contract providing care and shelter for unaccompanied migrant children, noting the cancellation came after Pope Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran. The post includes a split image of Trump seated beneath an American flag in dramatic lighting, and Pope Leo XIV in white papal vestments.
That light fixture placement behind him is so apt.
We should be learning from other countries...
Really want to throw him? Ask him what a bodega is.
He has the sole authority to launch nukes.
The electoral boundaries commission website has been taken down but the commission’s interim report, final report, and public submissions are available on the Elections Alberta website: www.elections.ab.ca/resources/re...
I am sure that it is a coincidence that the Electoral Boundaries Commission final report has been deleted from the website. Good thing that I downloaded it when it was released.
"Critics...note the bill makes no mention of explicit material -- sexual or otherwise -- but instead gives the minister the broad authority to restrict any topic. And, they say it means the province could potentially inspect patron records, risking privacy breaches." #abpoli #cdnpoli 📚

There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!
Russians have just struck a Baptist church in the city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. One person was killed.
It would be good if Trump, instead of posting pictures of himself as Jesus, showed some basic human decency and helped Ukrainian Christians survive this genocide.
