This is a superb summary of the trouble we are in (Albertans and Canadians) regarding the foreseeable environmental liabilities bequeathed to us by oil and gas extraction, upgrading, and pipelines. 1/ ablawg.ca/2024/02/21/ine…
The images of some Albertan, out on his sport boat, blocking the water bombers on Osoyoos lake, really sums up the amount of selfish bullshit that constitutes “freedom” for the majority of AB redneck asshats.
This is well worth a read. Thanks @JenniferKoshan and @BankesNigel
The chaos in our healthcare system, the chaos the sovereignty act is wreaking on our economy, the chaotic increases in utility costs - it needs to stop. We need a government focused on stability, and the NDP will deliver just that. #AbLeg edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…
"Dene people had not intended to give up their rights and title in signing Treaty 8 and Treaty 11." #Alberta's #SovereigntyAct is an assault on treaties and #IndigenousRights. #HonourtheTreaties #abpoli #cdnpoli cabinradio.ca/112981/news/so…
Smith "said an Indigenous adviser told her to ensure the act spells out that any cabinet actions will respect Indigenous people's constitutional rights." @ABDanielleSmith, name that person. #ableg #SovereigntyAct cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
#SovereigntyAct #yyc #abpoli 'Firearms restrictions? Alberta is doing Sovereignty Act-ish things, like taking provincial control of gun prosecutions and discouraging enforcement of the rules, but without invoking the new law.' cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
“And then there is AB, where Ms. Smith’s govt has passed the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act, an unconstitutional bit of magical thinking in which the province grants itself the power to ignore federal law whenever the fancy strikes.” #ableg theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…
Why Indigenous leaders are speaking out against ‘sovereignty’ efforts in Alberta and Saskatchewan. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli apple.news/Aa7BmAJ4AR9upU…
Shocker. The problem has always been that invoking the ASA would either be inane, failing to live up to promises to 'shield' Albertans against Federal laws, or outrageously illegal. That's why she's never given any clarity as to what measures they'd take under it. #abpoli

The Alberta political story of 2022 was the decline, fall, irrelevance and virtual disappearance of Jason Kenney. bit.ly/3jtrLmY #ableg #abpoli #NewYear2023
Smith: the Sovereignty Act "has absolutely nothing to do with changing our relationship with First Nations. It was a communications issue on my part." The UCP has been told. They either choose not to get it, or they're unable to grasp the basics. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
The Alberta government says they’re considering using the Sovereignty Act for the first time to oppose Trudeau’s electric vehicle mandate: tnc.news/2022/12/22/alb…

Yes, because flying a Palestinian flag means you supported the Holocaust, for sure, definitely Actually go fuck yourself for this
I just saw a full-sized Palestinian flag flying from a $1 million+ house in one of Victoria's toniest neighbourhoods. The sight honestly made me queasy; I've always joked that Victorians would be the first to call bylaw on Anne Frank, but it's not funny anymore.
Well Alberta, I spent this week in University of Alberta hospital, watching and listening to burnout in our healthcare workers, seeing the bloody horror of those admitted living in hallways, even those requiring bedpans. All the while our UCP spending our dollars on …2
I asked this @CityofEdmonton worker to move his truck a few feet back from the stop line to be legally compliant and to help visibility for folks using the bike lane. I was told off and instructed to "call 311" and he'd be "long gone by the time anyone cared" Great look.
Seeing mixed reports on what this means and whether it only relates to “lethal weapons”, a made-up category that GAC uses. To be clear, all military supplies - “lethal” or not - should end immediately.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Keep the pressure up. It’s working. A lot left to do, but this is excellent news. Canada has stopped issuing export permits for selling military equipment to Israel, according to sources familiar with the matter. #cdnpoli nationalpost.com/opinion/canada…
If true, this would also save Canada from possible complicity in additional atrocity crimes. In other words, this is the right & legal thing to do and also 💯 in Canada’s interest.
@DavidColetto When conducting polls, could we please have clear questions based on factual assertions answered by only those that have educated opinions… and only such polls, please?
@DavidColetto Spreading lies by Tristin Hopper is not great, David. I would hope for better from someone so focused on clear information / data.
@DavidColetto This is a lie. People that feel this way are; misinformed on the matter, those that believe O&G propaganda, & those who believe their livelihood might suffer. This is a complex issue that can't be summed up by headlines. O&G does NOT play any part in a long term solution.
@DavidColetto Maybe don’t post a headline that’s blatantly lying about the contents of the bill? The bill is very narrowly focused on false advertising—being paid to spread falsehoods by O&G companies. If you David, wanted to spread lies about O&G in a National Post column you’d be free to
@DavidColetto @andrew_leach Thanks to false advertising and misinformation from the oil and gas industry.

My kingdom (such as it is) for someone in the media to ask Nixon why the GoA won't compel O&G companies to clean up their $260 billion in liabilities, which wld create tens of thousands of good $ jobs & has the added bonus of being their legal obligation in any event. #ableg

"Due to a global phenomenon called climate change... " There, I fixed it for you.
Due to a global phenomenon known as El Nino, we are now seeing a very warm and dry winter across Canada. This is contributing to water shortages in some parts of AB, especially in the south. As we enter 2024, our govt. is taking action to address drought and conserve water.
