Stop with the purity tests on the left. If we want to defeat fascism, we need to cheer on anybody attacking fascism and the UCP here in Alberta. If we insist on rallying around one person too soon, we give the UCP a clear target to destroy, which they will put all their energy toward.

Don't forget, most of the big media in Canada is American owned, and have a vested interest in making Alberta Separatists as visible as possible
3 months ago we were riding a high of Canadian patriotism to resist US attempts at division. The US is driving the wedge in one hammer stroke at a time

Welp. That's that.
With 45/47 imposing his tantrum tariffs on Canada I have but 1 response. I'll lose followers for this but frankly I couldn't care less.

@djclimenhaga.bsky.social: If Alberta Premier Danielle Smith intends to defy an all-party, all-province, national consensus on how to respond to Donald Trump’s tariff threats, she should call a provincial election and get a mandate to do so.

It has been a long time coming, but I finally have a band gig booked...
March 2, my band Avout will be playing BlakBar on Whyte ave.
My last band gig was more than 30 yrs ago. I've played many solo shows since then, but even those have been rare since I became a parent.

Many think that Poilievre is Canada's Trump, not he's more like Canada's Thatcher... he has no respect for Canadian culture or history. This is the thin edge of the wedge.

Revolutionary idea here.. to avoid shipping delays, shop locally. Buy things from local stores, small businesses. Go see them in person, see what it looks like in real life. Talk to folks. Get outside.

Maybe having a Prime Minister who was a drama teacher is exactly what we need right now to deal with a President who is a drama queen.

Why does fear so effectively galvanize the right? Fear of crime, immigration, gender identity, loss of "freedom".. have driven the right to unite behind demagogues.
But on the left, fear of fascism, reproductive rights, climate disaster, LGTBQ rights haven't created a unifying political movement

Anyone who is an antifascist is an ally of mine. Now is not the time for purity tests. Defeating fascism is the battle we must fight for any other cause we care about to matter.
