The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Albertan CHUDS actually believe that the oil belongs to them. Yes it may be that way on paper but go ahead and try and drill for some.

HAHA fools. If it was YOURS your heating would be free. Instead your heating and electricity are the most expensive in Canada. Albertans you own nothing.

Remember Doug Ford just gave this man who just did a nazi salute $100M of Ontario’s money the day after Trump won, and has never mentioned it again. And because we have no #cdnmedia anymore, neither have they.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke is now amplifying residential school denialism. It’s just the latest example of his embrace of extreme right-wing conspiracies and how he’s trying to use his position to reshape Canadian politics.

You know what you call governments that engage in ZERO consultation or facts when they plow ahead with policy?

Authoritarian.

From Turtle Island to Palestine, genocide is a crime. We refuse to remain silent, and we refuse to allow Canadian complicity, support, and active involvement in this genocide to continue.

I’m a community college prof. Canada needs to decide: are community colleges (CC) a public good, like schools and hospitals and roads? Or are they a mine, a source of revenue? And if they are a source of revenue, then we need to admit that tuition is a tax on class mobility. See more:

“Three years have passed since Jason Kenney’s government held a referendum on removing the equalization principle from the Constitution Act.”

And the clock has run out with no follow up. The referendum was a performative nothing.

The AUPE has calculated that the living wage in Alberta is $22.95/h in 2024.

Minimum wage is $15/h

Why are we even thinking about peoples' individual health decisions?

0.55% of Albertans identify as Transgender.

37% of Albertans feel the cost of living is a challenge.

Guess which issue the UCP is introducing legislation to address?

Last night the world watched 2 rapists in a Netflix boxing match. People don't care. It's socially acceptable to be a rapist in 2024.
Nearly every Trump appointee has been accused of either sex trafficking or sexual assault.

Do you see the trend here?

Three wholly unqualified wealthy white men getting offered three of the most prestigious roles in government—but y'all still wanna lecture Black & brown people about "DEI & meritocracy."

Saying it again and again — every MAGA accusation is a confession.
