Okay, so, we’re all going to have to agree that it’s wrong to have sex with children. Like, if you don’t agree with me inside your own head, you should keep that inside until you tell a therapist. Also, people who defend pedophiles can not be trusted with your children. At all. AT ALL. EVERRRRRRRRR.

If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

Many city halls are deep in budget-time. Some are pushing austerity ideologies, and are ignoring the difference between costs and cost-savers/value creators. Citizens, PAY ATTENTION, and never forget that the TRUTH about a city’s REAL aspirations isn’t found in its visions. It’s found in its budget.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

In Alberta, landowners can’t deny oil and gas wells on their properties, but they’re entitled to compensation. Some companies fail to pay those bills — and rural Albertans are tired of waiting. They're also tired of that repayment, eventually, coming from taxpayers. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-land...

The Alberta President of the Canadian Bar Association has entered the chat…

Calling out not only the preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause but also the limited debate as threats to the rule of law.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

My first quote of the day, when I’m back at work with fewer Charter rights than other Albertans, will be a paraphrase of Ralph Waldo Emerson: “what you do speaks so loudly that I can’t hear what you say.” #weareata #redforedAb

It will be interesting to see how overriding charter rights, forcing a rejected labour deal on workers, and threatening substantial fines will impact Alberta's plan to add and recruit 3,000 new teachers over the next 3 years.

We are at the point where Danielle Smith would rather violate charter rights and create a constitutional crisis…

Instead of paying teachers fairly and giving kids the classrooms they need.

Read that again.

Because this is where we are.

The Alberta School Councils’ Association asks for sustainable solutions.

"Any mediation framework that limits discussion of classroom realities - such as class size, complexity, & supports - cannot lead to a lasting or fair resolution.” 💯

I began writing this story with a naive question in mind: What do we lose when public education is privatized? A lot, actually.

By following the MAGA playbook, the UCP’s push against public education not only undermines democracy, it jeopardizes the possibility of a better future for all Albertans.
