The fight we face is with President Trump, not Ottawa, and certainly not each other.
Danielle Smith is dividing our country and picking fights in a moment that calls for national unity.

Fun bit of history ... Pierre Poilievre & Jenni Byrne hold Stockwell Day's grandchild to pose as an Alberta family in an ad to nominate Ezra Levant "for the Canadian Alliance in Calgary Southwest in CBC footage from 2002".
Levant stepped aside to allow Stephen Harper to run in the riding. #cdnpoli

Beyond crushing. Nature released a study a little while ago proving these policies increase suicide attempts among trans kids — and lawmakers pursue them anyways.
Cruel beyond comprehension. I am so sorry this is happening.
Cruel beyond comprehension. I am so sorry this is happening.
In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."
![The serious concerns over how the Order will detrimentally impact transgender
youth cannot be overstated. One Washingtonian, as her parents describe her, was a bright and
gentle soul who loved playing musical instruments, trying new things, and playing Magic the
Gathering. She was excited to learn Japanese and the impact of gender-affirming care was
immediately clear to her family. Her parents described that “her joy was clear with every new
milestone in her transition. She was so happy to get to the next step, to get closer to presenting
in a way that was true to herself.” But the day before the presidential election, she shared,
“[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.” After the election, she asked her parents if they
could move to Canada because she was fearful of new restrictions on transgender youth and
worried about losing access to gender-affirming care. In January 2025, she took her life. After
the Order issued, her parents expressed that the outlook for transgender futures looks scary and
shared fears of what ending gender-affirming care would have meant for their daughter’s access
to therapy, puberty-delaying medication, hormones, and hope of surgery. Her parents have
expressed fear for the many lives who depend on gender-affirming care and that what happened
to their daughter does not happen to any other children.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlmouohgzbjofidukcp4pxf2/bafkreich7jyv3lnkmd5r234itpdhtvavgblc46ai6d47tb4i7oxgfga2ym@jpeg)

Four days it took her to say anything. And then she says … she will do nothing.
Not good enough. Her own office is implicated. The investigation can’t be delivered to the people being investigated. How dumb does she think Albertans are? /1

This is the same Exxon that internally recognised that recycling most of the plastic it produced was not technically or economically feasible.
(It helped fund plastics industry lobby groups that gaslit the public into thinking they were responsible for plastic pollution by not recycling enough.)

"In 1994, an Exxon employee warned staffers at the American Plastics Council that they did not “want paper floating around” saying they could not meet recycling goals, since the issue was “highly sensitive politically.” (9/n)

Trump complains that Canada doesn’t allow U.S. banks to operate here.. he’s saying this after we all witnessed the difference between Canada and the U.S. during the 2008 crash. King dipshit.
