The black line marks city boundaries.

The red lines show how the UCP aims to weaken your vote by gerrymandering Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Red Deer into pieces to rig the election.

We can't let Danielle Smith get away with it.

Wow. I see bluesky is really suffering from the old twttr scam followers problem. I don't see that as much on mastodon.

Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

It’s critical that everyday Albertans, and proud Canadians, stand up to Danielle Smith and reject separatism.

AI Use Appears to Have a "Boiling Frog" Effect on Human Cognition, New Study Warns A new study claims to offer the first causal link between AI dependency and cognitive erosion. Researchers warn of long-term implications.

NEW: A new pre-print study offers the first causal evidence that outsourcing reasoning tasks to AI can rapidly erode users' independent performance AND their will to persist despite difficulty.

"People’s persistence drops... they’re also not willing to try without AI.”

So FWIW, I'm saying 5 more floor crossers to the #Liberal Party by the end of the summer, precipitating a snap October election, to deliver a firm mandate for #Carney.
Which will also end the national horror of us having to see Pierre #Poilievre's face on the national news.

Iran First.

Donald is smart that way.

You can be a good person & still have a past that would ruin your reputation at the wrong dinner table. Life is weird like that. Sometimes your worst years are what make you better later. And sometimes the reason you're so careful now is because you remember the damage you were capable of. That's the uncomfortable origin story of a lot of good people. Turns out shame can grow a conscience if you let it.

Realest post I have read today

Remember, if something bad happens to pedophiles, it's a shame and Donald sends his love. If you're an American citizen and you get killed in the USA because of Operation Epstein Fiasco that's just the way it is and get used to it. Eat some cake and bullets, he's off to Maralago to 'dance.'

Never trust ANYONE who says they know what God is thinking

Hey just following up on this

Well if oxyMORON were a photo

Our two Chinese crested powder puffs Carmy in the front, mostly white, looking at the camera, Sydney behind, tricolour, staring out the window with her head resting on the window pane.

Waiting for Mom to return.

Fair comparison.

Alberta has no "legitimate grievances." Not a one. None. Zippo. Nada.

What it has is issues that require managing by competent politicians, not failed political hacks like Anderson.

Alberta has shitty politicians. Full Stop.

And within the AB chamber of commerce they are already noticing the effects of separation talks...

Enbridge says it’s not willing to take on development risk of Alberta pipeline project CEO Greg Ebel says his company has enough other opportunities

“The head of Enbridge Inc says the company is unwilling to take on the financial risk of developing a new oil pipeline from Alberta to Canada’s west coast.”

A circle

The Venn diagram of people who think Green Day didn’t “do a protest” today after playing American Idiot and the people who think Born on the 4th of July is a patriotic anthem:

The US is edging into Soviet levels of absurdity.

America has been pathetic for a bit. Its an utterly failed experiment now. The best we can hope for now is that when their various governments start shooting at each other they manage to stay south of the 49th.

100% this!👇

That's Sydney, my tricolor Chinese crested powder puff, black and beige fur, unconscious on my lap, unconcerned about the damage done to my knee and back while I chased her across the road.

The face of someone who earlier slipped away from me and ran across a six lane road.

I think another problem with Alberta is that we have a lot of fascists who vote for these turnips.
