"As Premier, I have a duty to act when the well-being of Alberta's children is at risk." It's almost laughable that she could say that. She didn't think it necessary to act to promote and make available life-saving vaccines. #abpoli

Everyone in Alberta should very concerned about this.
The targeted campaign against @carrietait.bsky.social is a direct attempt to intimidate one of the finest, most diligent reporters in Canada. In doing so, it is an attack on journalism, an accountability mechanism essential for democracy.

Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward.
But targeting a reporter - hi! - with
surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know.

Live in Calgary Confederation? It’s your turn to keep corrupt do-nothing UCP dirtbag Jeremy Nixon out of public office. My riding gave him the boot in the provincial election, but why should we have all the fun? All the cool kids are doing it, give it a try.

👋Some news
I’m running for Mark Carney's Liberals in Calgary-Confederation.
I live here, work here, raise my kids here. I want to offer representation that understands the economy and the public interest and be an Alberta voice standing up for Canada at a challenging time. 🧵(1/X)

A good friend in Ontario who works in a trade-exposed industry summed up how wild this whole ride has been pretty succinctly:
"It’s just crazy to me that a guy who ran on tariffs is pausing them because we appeased him on a problem that doesn’t exist"
How does any business make sense of this?

Leaving X for Bluesky has nothing to do with "not liking opposing views" or wanting a bubble. It has to do with X/Twitter being turned into a swamp of disinformation and hate, and not wanting to financial benefit a far-right Nazi-loving asshole.

I understand some partisans don't like when people in a party speak up. But a political party isn't a cult. If people who care greatly about the party don't speak up when things are really are off the rails, then we're doing a disservice to the country & to ourselves.
