The American political class is so disconnected from voters that they don’t realize that regular folks are totally down with a giant pan partisan jail cell holding everyone involved with Epstein’s crimes.

A statement can be true yet wildly misleading
Inference & implication INTENDED to lead to misinterpretation
Politicians are masters at this
1000 “new” hospital beds & 3000 “new” teachers can be obtained while closing 1000 beds & 3000 teachers retiring
Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic

The Book of Revelations says that all will worship the Beast & given the internet just saved me from having to relearn the horrors of polynomial math to help my kid with their homework, I guess I’m all in with Great Satan.

I spilt flour on the kitchen floor, realized how slippery it was with my slippers, reminded me of my grandparents shuffleboard, pondering how shuffleboards disappeared & no one noticed & lost an hour of time

You know, we’d probably do better at solving the affordable housing crisis if we stopped pretending the solution is allowing a developer to buy an infill lot for $500k, demolishing the house, putting two or three smaller houses on it & then selling each one for $600k.

This may sound cold & callous.
But the government shut down in the States is the direct result of the legislative Left no longer protecting the voters on Right from the ramifications their choices.
I’m curious to see if those voters see the link.

In her memoir “Nobody’s girl,” Virginia Giuffre explicitly stated that she gave the FBI a list of names of Epstein’s clients that abused her. Why is the American media not asking Kash Patel where those names are? #uspol

An expression we use in lab is “shits & giggles” testing. Meaning the result is either already known, absolutely irrelevant to patient care or the doc literally has no idea what’s wrong so they’ve ordered everything on the test menu.
This is the pinnacle of shits & giggles testing.

Order in council dropped late this afternoon that rescinds the previous gift policy for UCP premier's and ministers' staff. But does this mean the premier and ministers can still accept Skybox tickets and other expensive freebies?

Given the UCP has proven they don’t negotiate in good faith and
Given the negotiations with AHS, LPNs, Lab & Covenant are either being slow boated or awaiting a strike vote
Why not have members of ALL THESE vote on the current offer &/or strike vote & we could have 100k on LEGAL strike in 2 weeks.

Listening to the #ableg feed along with 10’s of 1000s of other Albertans right now.
I was just swiping my mascara on as
@marlinschmidt.bsky.social made what will be forever known as the “why my teacher’s drank” quip.
So thanks Marlin, I now look like Ozzy Osbourne to head out for the night 😆

The Teacher’s strike would be over tomorrow if the UCP offered the same contract the United Nurses of Alberta signed or if they agreed to binding arbitration.
The Notwithstanding Clause is a nuclear level hammer with the long range consequence of saying the UCP doesn’t negotiate, they legislate.

The Notwithstanding Clause is a political golden ticket that allows a provincial government to ignore the Charter of Rights & Freedoms
I guarantee you by tolerating this, we open the door for the day they come for you
When instead, we should be warning Premier Smith that this door swings back hard
