Tired of living in the Idiocracy/Handmaids prequel. Grow some fucking empathy already. Mostly at mastodon, jeffhorton@mstdn.ca follow that instead. Support the rainbow and everybody else being cut down for political gain #elbowsup

Those of you standing in long lines for municipal elections in Alberta today:

1) stay in line; your voice matters
2) the long lines are a direct consequence of the conspiracy-driven policy changes brought forward by the UCP government (and not your beleaguered election workers); be kind

Just remember #Alberta if you’re in a long lineup to vote this evening

It’s because the UCP made it harder to vote as a deterrent to surpress votes and gave into conspiracy theories

This also comes at an extra cost to taxpayers…

Another great post covering project 2025 agenda. Note again that Danielle Smiths UCP runs many of the same plays around climate, human rights, education and environment. Her team should be judged the same way.

A perfect example of the Alberta UCP tour and how the party views actual problems in the province.

Grammarly has jumped the shark and wants to edit my words to follow some AI-driven movement toward a Fahrenheit 451 future.

The enshittification of their AI model is leading me to cancel my paid subscription.

IMPORTANT: Use of section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms, AKA the “Notwithstanding Clause“, was supposed to be rare, a kind of “nuclear option.” But bad faith politicians have been using it so much recently, it’s fair to ask if we even have a Charter anymore.

That needs to change.

You’ve heard of “working the ref?”

It’s when coaches/players complain to refs, or politicians to media, SO OFTEN that they’re being treated unfairly that the refs (media) start favouring the complainers just to avoid the appearance that they might be right.

Right-wingers CONSTANTLY work the ref.

The first time an Alberta government invoked the notwithstanding clause, public outrage forced a reversal in less than 24 hours. I wish to God Albertans would show the same moral fury now, when school children are outed & bullied by the government that is supposed to protect them. #ableg #abpoli

Is the UCP trying to save money on COVID vaccination, or end vaccination? In either base the $100 fee is wrong and dangerous. Column.

Braid: UCP's $100 fee for COVID vaccination is wrong and dangerous
Alberta is now the only province to charge for a vaccination against an illness that has killed 8,000 in the province. COVID fee is wrong.

Why does Mark Carney want to see in your bedroom? Government spying helps no one and shows how creepy the Liberals and Conservatives have become.

The only goal here is to identify those that won't go quietly.
