Time to remove all religion from politics. Quote scripture, get fined. I don’t want you making decisions based on what your competing imaginary friends are alleged to have said through magic tablets, burning bushes, or the voices in your head.

Secularize politics.

"Jason Stephan quoted Mormon scripture as “Canada’s founding principles” during his abortion speech in the Legislature"

Jason Stephan is the MLA for Red Deer-South.

Beautiful! What a difference.
Cities like Paris are showing that urban greening thru street & place transformation is just COMMON SENSE, for cooling cities that are getting hotter due to the #ClimateCrisis, and for reducing emissions, cleaning the air, and improving quality-of-life!

Pensioners whose retirements were wrecked by dodgy investment schemes by political appointees at AIMCO will be denied the right to sue AIMCO for damages by a new piece of legislation, Bill 12.

The UCP’s fall legislative session reveals volumes about what the party really values and what it doesn’t: no rights for teachers and trans folks (Bills 2 and 9) no rights for those who depend on AIMCo investments (Bill 12) but hey, we’ll pay out to aussie coal companies any time. #ableg #abpoli

No amount of collective masturbation in Alberta alters the lack of business case for another oil pipeline.

OPEC's forecast for oil demand over the next 25 years is <1% growth per year, with the risk that advances in energy efficiency substitution may reduce demand growth to zero.

Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny
As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?

You can't suddenly say no one collects $200 anymore when you pass Go because you keep rolling threes.

I'm not a recall fan, but you can't keep changing the rules mid-game to your favour.

Don't like your own rules you ran elections on? Then get another mandate

In all seriousness, this is really really shocking. 500 collisions in one day must be some kind of record. #roadsafety
Somebody should have told this driver not to cork the train ... Ha ha @criticalmassyyc.bsky.social Spun the SUV right around, luckily there was nothing to squish into or it would have been a lot worse. It was some sweet chaos downtown #yyc today.

The good news is—if the financing can be put in place to wean importers off their imports by building replacement cleantech—the transition entirely pays for itself over time since the feedstocks are free.
More than 90% of new renewable power projects commissioned last year were more cost-effective than any new fossil fuel alternatives.

Those renewables projects will save tens of billions of dollars in fossil-fuel costs

Wow
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.
