Every Data Centre Is a US Military Base | The Tyee Understanding how the US uses its tech companies to serve its empire — and how Canada should respond.

Glad to see the @thetyee.ca republish this.

These are heat island, water guzzling, emissions factories, all to serve Americans imperialism, at grave social cost to us.

So why the eff are we so enamoured with them?

🚨BREAKING!🚨

The UCP have officially voted to ditch the Electoral Boundaries Commission Report to appoint their own commission and draw their own maps!

Gerrymandering is official UCP policy in Alberta!

Contrary to her script, Smith didn't even show up for the vote.

"That is not a gathering shaped by the values of welcome and humility. It is a gathering shaped by access and privilege."

Almost 100 faith leaders across the province have penned an open letter condemning Smith's elite "Christian Summit" that costs up to $650 a ticket.

Today, a lot of people will be talking about the manifesto that Palantir released. In addition to pouring over what those words mean, I invite you to ground the conversation in what Palantir has already done.

Its work with Israel and ICE show us exactly what it stands for.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Can't even name that it was Israel who killed him

The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden’s Surveillance Machine Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.

A trans woman was tracked and monitored using AI technology at a Knicks game just for being trans.

This is a major line being crossed by Alberta's UCP government. Throwing out the work of an independent boundaries committee is authoritarian and extremely anti-democratic.

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!

The UCP Tried to Kill a Health Story with Claims That Didn’t Stand Up | The Tyee The government cited numbers that its own data contradicted.

After the @theijf.org found Edmonton paramedics’ overtime jumped 81% in three years, staff from Premier Danielle Smith’s office messaged reporters and editors, claiming data was omitted and asking the story be rewritten or deleted.

At least one news outlet complied. @brettmckay.bsky.social reports.

BREAKING!!!

In what appears to be a completely unprecedented move, the UCP appear to be getting ready to toss all of the work of the electoral boundaries commission…

So they can draw the maps themselves!

Gerrymandering has arrived!

Alberta can’t rely on immigrant workers while denying them health care - Healthy Debate Alberta cannot build a functioning health system by recruiting newcomers to sustain it while denying some the care they need to live, work and stay.

Lies about immigrants fuelling intolerance & bad policy.

Reality: "The evidence on this point is consistent. Migrants in high-income countries are, on average, healthier than host populations and contribute more economically than they consume in services."

Thread detailing Mark Carney’s war on libraries, knowledge, and culture throughout so many parts of society.

His deep cuts to the public service are not in line with the vision he presents of a bold and more independent Canada.

And the mental gymnastics that Carney stans are doing.... 🤯

While some Canadians are doing mental gymnastics about whether their liberals and conservatives are progressive or not, I’m hoping one day we have a federal party that leads us away from American imperialism while funding Canadian healthcare, education, housing, science and art.

4,000 more oil and gas wells were just added to Alberta’s orphan well list | The Narwhal Even before the addition, the estimated total costs to properly seal and reclaim orphan oil and gas sites in Alberta was more than $1B

"4,000 oil and gas wells just became orphans — nearly doubling Alberta’s total"

Would def recommend keeping the youths far, far away from the UCP.

Disgusting that in 2026 when there's international fascist movements centering around the persecution of LGBTQ+ people that anybody would still work for and support the Harry Potter franchise.

That includes the assholes who thought they'd hide behind the audio book that funds anti-trans orgs
