I’m running for Mark Carney's Liberals in Calgary-Confederation.
I live here, work here, raise my kids here. I want to offer representation that understands the economy and the public interest and be an Alberta voice standing up for Canada at a challenging time. 🧵(1/X)

Palestinian paramedics shot by Israeli forces had hands tied, eyewitnesses say
Senior doctor who saw bodies says men appeared to have been ‘executed’, adding to evidence of potential war crime

The eyewitness accounts add to an accumulating body of evidence pointing to a potentially serious war crime on 23 March, when Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance crews and civil defence rescue workers were sent to the scene of an airstrike in the early hours of the morning in the al-Hashashin district of Rafah, Gaza’s southernmost city.

Republicans cut Democrats entirely out of their process for the CR, didn't want any of our input, and would have been blamed by a majority of the American public for a government shutdown.
There was no reason to cave to them.

Danielle Smith, you have some explaining to do.
Your friend, Dr. Dennis Modry, is heading to Washington to discuss Alberta sovereignty, to give you more bargaining power with Ottawa. He has a petition and claims to be in touch with you.
Please explain.

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy.
There is no going along to get along with this thug.
Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

What I find so disturbing with the @thebreakdownab.bsky.social situation is the information which they provided was backed up with documents obtained quite legally.

Like seriously, divisive???
She also didn't like the fact that we are booing the American anthem. Well, that's what happens when a country declares economic war on us, insults our leaders and implies we might be invaded. Booing is a pretty fucking civilized way to respond if you ask me.

What worries me is that most Americans will simply ignore what is being done in Washington over the next couple of years. They'll turn on the football game, watch an episode of the Real Housewives of Someplace, and ignore it as fundamental freedoms and crucial institutions are carved away.
