Wordsworth’s words have been rolling around in my brain a lot these days.
Happiest in the fresh air and amongst the trees.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Party defections are seldom isolated events. In many instances, one departure sets off a chain of events resulting in rumours, more exits, expulsions, and turmoil surrounding the leader.

Alberta's Auditor General is racing to finish his investigation into healthcare procurement after the UCP govt rejected his proposed contract extension.
He's done in April, 2026, and wants his probe wrapped then, too.

Smith is silencing the investigators.
Fired the AHS CEO & the entire board for looking into corruption.
Now firing the Auditor General for exposing corruption.
When you fire the watchdogs, it's not about efficiency—it's about avoiding accountability.

I don't know about you all, but I am getting tired of the UCP importing MAGA tactics to stifle democracy. They know they are unpopular and so they would rather cheat than compete. Cowards and scoundrels all.

It’s go time Art Hunters. The sculpture is hidden in a location with a nice view. One that @drdagly.bsky.social would have enjoyed often. Good luck.

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

Today I paid tribute to someone who was a friend & inspiration to many of us, Darren Markland.
One of the best humans I’ve ever known.
In the shadow of the challenges our world faces today, we need more people like Darren.
Perhaps the best tribute we can pay is to be more like him. #abpoli
