Poilievre is an annoying traitor.

Leading a party and followers hellbent on dividing Canada and offering it up as the 51st state.

Conservatives including Danielle & her separatists should just move to the US and leave us alone.

Danielle Smith is going to blame Nenshi for everything because she's afraid the NDP will win the next election.

BUT...what if it's not the NDP that take away her majority?

Conservative MPs,

Time to choose.

Country over party.

Country over the Leader of the Opposition who essentially endorsed the illegal takeover of a sovereign country by an administration that has threatened Canada with the same thing.

Choose your country.
Cross the floor.

5. Under the Trump administration, the US is no longer an ally of Europe or Canada, it has aligned itself with Russia.

As a canvasser, I received my credentials 2 wks into the campaign. As the 1st major petition, we faced constant barriers. Without those constraints, the signature count would have doubled. That conviction will carry me forward against continued separatist propaganda. #ForeverCanadian #ABleg #ABpoli
Infographic titled “Despite the Barriers, We Succeeded” featuring the Forever Canadian logo at the top, a red maple leaf with a flame symbol. The graphic states that the campaign was “Grassroots and volunteer-organized, not an established organization.” It highlights a total of 456,388 signatures gathered across Alberta, both rural and urban. Three columns describe barriers faced during the campaign. The first column, Accessibility Barriers, lists delayed volunteer accreditation, restricted access to public venues, and no entry to Legions, malls, care homes, or businesses. The second column, Financial Barriers, notes a zero advertising budget, reliance on capped donations under financial rules, and volunteers self-funding tables, forms, pens, and signage. The third column, Awareness Barriers, states there was no centralized marketing, reliance on organic social media, and that the new petition required education and public trust. Below the columns, the infographic notes that volunteers showed up consistently and self-organized across communities. The final section states that without these barriers, the signature count would have at least doubled, and concludes with the statement, “Grassroots democracy works—when people are allowed to participate.”

Happy 2026

Stay informed. Stay vigilant. Stay angry. Stay empathetic. Stay in the fight. And whenever possible and whenever valuable, gently turn your mind in the direction of hope. Toward the belief that we could make this place better. Toward the knowledge that we can only do that together. ❤️

And then again blamed school crowding, housing prices, healthcare collapse and grocery prices on immigrants.

"Perhaps Opposition Leader Naheed Nenshi has been fearful of not being taken seriously if he acknowledged the evidence too forcefully. If so, it’s time for that to change, or he risks not being taken seriously for failing to do so."

Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy.

Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

I am positive that severe overcrowding was a major factor in delays to care, and that his prolonged waiting did NOT improve anything in this pt's case.

The institutional response will be to try to blame one single HCW for this tragic outcome...

This is related to the idea that if white people don't have 100% of high-prestige jobs, awards, recognition etc it's evidence of discrimination against whiteness. It's where "great replacement" logic leads you. bsky.app/profile/donm...

I see this on the right - the idea that the existence of foreign academic staff and faculty are evidence of discrimination against natives. It's not discrimination, its selection: academia is a global marketplace, the US is the biggest center of that market. So yes, some foreign talent will win.
mclem.org Michael Clemens @mclem.org · 10d
Striking nativist editorializing by the federal judge who just upheld the $100,000 tax on high-skill immigrants.

She opines that it’s “troubling” that universities hire talent from abroad at all, instead of only native grads.

Then admits (!) that opinion is irrelevant (So why write it? Venting?)
