Hey wait, I said “smartest guy on bluesky”. I’m a poet and I didn’t even realize it!

No, we don't need something bigger; no, we don't want financing; and, no, we don't want the two-year warranty either

If the Liberals are smart enough to introduce tough & enforced Right to Repair legislation, slap it first on farm equipment & heavily message it to farmers, the hold Conservatives have on Western Canadian riding will be shot to hell.

TODAY, UCP government denied the Chief Electoral Officer a supplemental budget required to prepare a referendum on Alberta’s separation from Canada.
Is #ForeverCanadian safe to presume that this is an indication that no such referendum will take place?

Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days?
Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day.
Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power.

The Premier said the policy change was done for MLA and staff safety and security reasons. They sure have trouble keeping their stories straight.
"The other excuse Alberta Finance gave was that the new rules would 'bring Alberta’s policies into alignment with other provinces.’ It’s the equivalent of 'But, mom, everybody else is doing it'"
