Free Palestine 🇵🇸. This was supposed to be a fun urban planning and passenger rail account…hard to do that with car centric fascism interfering. Rare Albertan leftist.

And if you don't want to read it, at least read this:
Not only the failed response of organized labour, but the lack of response from the general public. We all just went to work like everything was fine. And that is how fascism happens. You never wake up one morning and all of a sudden the country has gone fascist. It’s a slow burn, built up over years and sometimes decades. Remember that the Nazi’s were initially arrested 10 years before they actually took power. If you would have been worried about them in 1923, you would have been called delusional, a worrier, or any other label I get accused of. That was until the Nazi’s started winning small local elections….Speaking of which, freedumb convoy members are now getting elected to local offices, history doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes. We have been building there. The use of the NWS to break a strike is simply the latest milestone. It’s a big one in the sense of it’s significance in shifting the permission structure to legitimize the use of the NWS. This is not just Alberta. What happens in one province happens everywhere. Danielle Smith is just the first to set the template for others to follow, and they will. Our assistance in the “war on terror” was a step towards fascism the same as the RCMP clearing the Wet’suwet’en for a pipeline and jailing Indigenous activists was. We have always been heading down this road. And we have collectively rolled over every time. Sometimes cheering it. This is what I mean by apathy. The only way change happens is when enough people decide enough is enough. And the collective response when trying to engage anyone to try and change things is “what can you do” “yeah it sucks but that’s just how it is”. No shit sherlock, it is when everyone has this attitude.

The students are organizing! #ableg
To whom it may concern We are the Alberta Students' Association (ASA), a group of high school students from across the province who have come together to make our voices heard on issues that affect us. While we have only recently formed, our goal is to represent students from different schools and communities in Alberta, sharing our perspectives and organizing events that matter to us. We wanted to take a moment to introduce ourselves and explain why we have come together. Over the past few days, students across Alberta have been discussing concerns that affect our schools and our learning experiences. Out of these discussions, the idea of a coordinated walkout emerged as a way for students to express themselves safely, responsibly, and collectively Our association is still growing, and our focus is on connecting students, sharing our experiences, and standing together as a community. We want students and parents to know that we value open communication, safety, and respect, and that any actions we organize are meant to be peaceful and constructive. Thank you for taking the time to learn about the Alberta Students' Association. We look forward to continuing to build a supportive and connected student community across Alberta. Sincerely, Alberta Students' Association Contact information: | 1+ 587-208-6805 SMS Only! | abstudentwalkout@gmail.com

#AFL update from President Gil McGowan on X:

#ableg #abpoli #abgeneralstrike
My message to Alberta teachers is simple: you will not stand alone. Tomorrow all other Alberta unions will meet to finalize a plan for unprecedented collective action. The executive council of the Canadian Labour Congress will also meet in emergency session. And, CLC President Bea Bruske will fly to Alberta for our press conference on Wednesday to pledge the support of the entire labour movement. My message to Danielle Smith is also simply. You're the bully going after workers rights & democracy. We will stand up to the bully. Other provincial labour federations, including the Ontario Federation of Labour, will start collecting funds to build a war chest to help pay fines. Danielle Smith may have thought she could bully the teachers into submission. We are not going to let that happen.

‘Perfect Victims’ by Mohammed El-Kurd
I once credulously believed that our testimonies would be considered credible only once we attained "respectability." Colonial logic gaslights us to believe that it is our shortcomings, not colonialism itself, that stand between us and liberation. And so we spend our years on a circuitous journey toward an impossible atonement. We accept starting the story at "Secondly." But in truth, and to state the obvious, nothing renders me killable. Before I threw the rock, they stole my land. Before I picked up the rifle, they shot my loved ones. Before I made the makeshift rocket, they put me in a cage. What I read cannot be used as a

For me, this film was the dumb version of Eddington. While it has a kernel of thoughtfulness in the father-daughter storyline and how your sins of the past can and will catch up to you, it does so in a cartoonish, two-dimensional world of romanticizing leftwing extremists and terrorism. Not really cool of PTA to put out such narrow-minded, inflammatory, and inciting work in today’s environment of violence and assassinations. Eddington, while it has many flaws, at least has something unique to say about our culture—it points a big fat finger at Big Tech (and social media) and the polarization it’s creating in our society. OBAA just says a whole lot of nothing in the form of an antifa infomercial. Yuck. Can’t really respect PTA the same way after this one. His prior films included reprehensible characters and terrible acts, but they had an underlying positive message or valuable warning to take note of. OBAA has no such moral clarity. The film jumps into violent abhorrent action so fast that you won't know what hit you in the first 5 minutes. No character development, it was like WTF. Did we get here late? I was puzzled by the director's intent, were we supposed to like these people or hate them? Radical violent antifa types were being portrayed as heroes? The people on the other side of the conflict were equally abhorrent, stereotyped cartoonishly, and I wondered, are we supposed to hate everybody in this movie? Which I did. I could not stand it. I have seen enough films to know that they usually evolve and change as they go, but the first hour was so awful that I could not stand to stick around to find out. I wish it had only been a waste of time, it was far worse than that. It left a bad taste in my mouth that I still feel the morning after.

Was in the fence about seeing One Battle After Another but this rotten tomatoes review sold me
The review I didn't know it was going to glorify violent protests. It was made to make the bad guys look heroic and breaking the law to be OK. Not a good message in todays world

Idk with this PBO tbh. He seems to really believe the defecit myth, a core component of neoliberalism/Thatcherism.....That said, how the money is being spent leaves serious concerns because its unproductive.and that does have serious consequences. If the wealth hoarding continues, PBO is 100% right.
Screenshot from CBC article "Jacques was named parliamentary budget officer on a six-month interim basis earlier this month, before the House of Commons began its fall sitting. A permanent appointment must be approved by the House, and the Conservative Party has pushed to keep Jacques in the role."

In what world is this an acceptable deal?? @cupescfp.bsky.social get tf back on strike, you’re membership is requesting it.
An interaction with an Air Canada Flight Attendant on TikTok. Comment 1: wait I'm sorry, can Air Canada reject your ground work claims????? Reply: Yup! If we're on the plane, on the ground, longer than anticipated, Service Directors can apply for their crew to receive ground duty pay. It is not payed out automatically, it is only payed out for very specific circumstances, and every claim is subject to company approval. Air Canada hates to pay its staff, so sometimes they reject ground duty claims, even when the criteria for ground duty was met!

“If you or any Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere.”

Fuckin tell em #fucktheucp #indigenoussovreignty
Dear Premier Smith: Re: Cease & Desist - Separatist Threats You are attempting to manufacture a national unity crisis - by enabling a referendum on separatism and a fanatical cell of individuals - at the exact moment when Canadians need to unite against Donald Trump's America. The province of Alberta is on Treaty lands. Please be advised that your irresponsible statements and actions are in breach of Treaties No. 6, 7 and 8. We demand that you immediately stand down from this conduct. Our Treaties are sacred covenants and are to last forever. Alberta did not exist when our ancestors agreed to share the land with the Crown. The province has no authority to supersede or interfere with our Treaties, even indirectly by passing the buck to a "citizen" referendum. If you or any Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere. Sincerely,

London, one of the most privatized cities in this country:
The judge has just sent the jury home for the day because it’s so hot in the courtroom that the heat is melting one of the machines. This is preventing the Crown from being able to show the video evidence without the technology heating up to the point where it shuts down. “For the second day in a row, we’re adjourning early. We will start fresh tomorrow,” Carroccia tells the jury. This has been a day plagued by tech issues. Earlier, there was a problem with the government of Ontario internet system, which IT people were able to fix. A technician is supposed to come today at 4:30 p.m. to fix the problem with the heat in the courtroom, and that’ll hopefully fix the overheating machine problem (and IT people will also be here to make sure it works again).

Shame on all media outlets who are committed to maintaining "balance" in their coverage. Printing views such as this, that essentially demand we bend the knee, are at best irresponsible. It only serves to erode Canadian sovereignty #cdnpoli
A snippet from a February 1st CBC article about Trump's Canadian Tariffs. The snippet is a quote from Mark Warner, a trade lawyer who says "Canada should figure out a way to be useful to the United States, such as providing- and not withholding critical minerals.

News article at 12:50 Eastern Time the Mexican President stated "we don't think it will happen" on January 29th, regarding Trump's tariffs.

This one showing our costs per km over time is insane. It’s clear that our current methods will not fix themselves.

The other factor not considered that I would like explored is accountability. Bodies like Metrolinx face no repercussions for failures and there’s too much secrecy.
