Introducing the “Unity Bus”.

Coming to a small town near you! I’m heading on the road to bring the #ForeverCanadian petition to more Albertans. As the weather gets cooler, outdoor pop-ups will no longer be fun. So, we are pivoting! We need to push to hit 300,000 signatures.

Just so we are all clear, threatening to silence/charge/imprison anyone who calls anyone else a fascist is fascism.

Alberta’s book ban is cultural vandalism. The Handmaid’s Tale, The Color Purple, 1984 — gone.

This is the MAGA playbook in Canada: censor, control, erase.
CBC exposed it. Without them, we’d be in the dark.

📖 Defend the right to read.

It’s pretty wild that people decry things that they personally don’t utilize.

Imagine if I protested a new school being built, because I don’t have kids.

This is a reference to bike lanes. #YEGbike

The far right have dominated social media for too long.
It's time to take the fight to the fascist disinformation gangs.
We can build an international network of resistance.
I am speaking with @meidastouch.bsky.social about launching #meidascanda.
Stay tuned.
TEAM CANADA is about to hit the ice.

I am with AB Resistance.

We are supporting the ONLY legal means by which to oust the UCP before 2027.

It is our RIGHT.

We are planning town halls.

Do you want your UCP MLA recalled?

Do you want a town hall in your riding?

It only takes 5. We are organizing 2 now.

Reply with riding.

Talked to the organizer of Forever-Canadian, the petition campaign to put a referendum question to keep Alberta as a part of Canada. Here's a FAQ if you're inclined to sign the petition. #yeg

Jeff and I were scheduled for Covid vaccines today, got to the pharmacy and told we couldn’t after all because not over 65 and immunocompromised. So we need to wait til October and pay (but even then it’s not a given they’ll be available). Thanks and fuck you, Alberta government.

The hockey players may have been found not guilty according to the law. But what happened was still very wrong. They were not innocent.

The Long Ryders recording sessions in San Diego are now over. What looks to be our last studio album is out in March 2026 & we are extremely proud of it. Yet it does seems the sunlight is slowly setting and we are near the end of the trail. Please ride with us as we head back to the corral.

Poilievre was rejected by voters.
Then Conservatives gave a golden parachute to push an elected MP to quit his post so Poilievre could win a safe seat.
Now he is demanding the government change the rules so ordinary Canadians can't challenge him.

With UCP Press secretaries frantically backpedaling on the "kids under grade 9 won't be allowed to read books with hand holding or kissing"...

It sure would be embarrassing if Niccolaides was asked that point blank today.

Sure would be.

You can’t make this up.

The UCP are hiking rents for folks on AISH by over $200 a month.

Right after they’ve stolen the $200 Disability Benefit from the same people.

All while they brag about an $8 billion surplus.

It’s more than cruel. It’s asinine.

The attacks on disabled Albertans MUST stop.

How do you like our #ForeverCanadian logo?

Designed by an internationally renowned Canadian (Alberta) graphic designer, Mr. Wei Yew, this masterpiece reflects the enduring spirit of Canada.

Stay tuned for the launch of our campaign.
