Gotta keep Polievre as far away from power as possible or we will end up becoming the 51st State - Trump continues to recognize him as weak! A long-time politician he hasn’t done anything to help Canadians and in fact has no desire to support many - newcomers, queer, women…with his proposed policies

Vimy or Vichy - the choice is simple.
We know where Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre stand.
I stand for Canada.
See you on the ridge my friends.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

It boggles the mind how Premier Smith can take a harder line stance against the prime minister of her own country than the president of an enemy nation.

If she's unsure who is the bigger threat, her advisors have failed all Albertans miserably.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

✨ ARE YOU READY TO ORGANIZE FOR QUEER RIGHTS? ✨

Anti-2SLGBTQIA+ hate is on the rise in Canada and around the world. We have a choice: to sit back and let others decide our fate, or to come together and decide for ourselves.

We choose to organize.

Today, we're launching RainbowEquality.ca

Talk to neighbors, friends, and family about your concerns. Encourage them to read media reports about the scandal, especially from @carrietait.bsky.social.

I hope the summary above is helpful as a conversation starter. People can get lost in the specific details and might need a primer.

So, if you're upset, call or write your MLA. Show up to protests. Demonstrate that this behaviour is not, in fact, Alberta as usual.

This will make dodging accountability unacceptable.

A full public inquiry is needed.

WHAT'S NEXT

The only people who can put direct pressure on the premier are those in her party caucus.

UCP MLAs have been known to bow to public pressure in the past. And premiers have been ousted for far less.

NOW WHAT

The Auditor General is investigating. His report must be made public and tabled with the legislature.

One of the investigators is suing the government for wrongful dismissal. This will force the govt to respond publicly.

The govt will hire its own investigator to examine procurement.

SO WHAT

This is not politics as usual. The size and scope of the funding involved is unprecedented in Alberta history. Premiers have been ousted for much less.

WHAT

The government is accused of funneling over $600 million to a donor, and then covering it up by threatening and firing people who were investigating.

Albertans are slowly waking up to the depths of the scandal enveloping the UCP government.

A lot of folks are wondering how to explain what's going on to people who haven't been tuning in.

Here's the what, so what now what, and what's next of the situation. 🧵

Keep it up American friends! I’ve been emailing your elected reps too - a few each day!
Some came with complaints about Elon Musk. Others chided the GOP to push back against President Trump’s moves to trample the constitutional power of Congress. In districts around the U.S. over the past week, Republican lawmakers faced a groundswell of fear and disaffection from constituents.

After a monthlong honeymoon for the G.O.P. at the start of President Trump’s term, lawmakers are confronting a groundswell of fear and disaffection in districts around the country.

Been getting a lot of people asking about LA geography concerned that the images they see means the entire county is on fire. That's understandable.

But LA is a big place. So, to give an idea of scale it's time to cart this out again. It's a map of LA with other cities superimposed on it.
