Danielle Smith is using the notwithstanding clause to protect herself while crushing individuals' Charter rights.

That’s not freedom, that’s cowardice.

And Albertans won’t stand for it.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I saw one of the Ospreys heading back to Calgary last night after the drop off. I assume those guys drew the short straw and had to go on a McDonald’s run for the fat orange dictator. #g7 #G7Summit2025

Government irresponsibility has consequences.

The UCP’s junk science and fearmongering have eroded trust in vaccines—now, measles cases are rising, and kids’ lives are at risk. This is completely preventable.

Parents, get your kids vaccinated.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

I spent New Year’s Eve watching Fallout and accidentally timed 2025 to start with “Okey Dokey.”

@samreich.bsky.social I have an idea!
Warner Bros. Discovery will not renew their deal to release new episodes of ‘Sesame Street’, THR reports.

Sesame Workshop is now looking for a new studio to release new episodes.

It’s too bad the Apple Replay doesn’t factor in podcasts like Spotify does. I’d like to know how many hours of NADDPOD and Worlds Beyond Number I’ve listened to.
