One body blow after another from this government; and the lack of transparency is now the norm.

Put all the ideas in a hat, and let students draw them out. Then assign them to do presentations on it. That way it all gets covered and you don’t have to do all the work!

Listening to Premier Smith on CBC eyeopener and hearing her lie again. She claims that the Canada question was legally forced upon her by citizen initiative petitions. That is simply nonsense. The question is hers Q, not Lucaszuk's and not the APP's. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

The content of the other 9 questions would so fundamentally change the nature of confederation that what we currently think of as Canada would no longer exist. Remember that she stood up in the Leg and said, “It's not like Ottawa is a national government." She wants to end this country.

You’d think they’d learn after 30+ years of playing nice and only having 3 years of true funding increases, but hey, what do I know?

Considering that’s why Elan Macdonald was hired and the UCP still slashed the U of A’s budget by a couple hundred million dollars, it seems a foolish idea. But it tells what this president really cares about, which is playing nice with a government that hates the U of A. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The U of A has hired Jason Krips as their new VP (External Relations). Government Relations is the smallest unit in that portfolio, but Krips’ experience is as a Deputy Minister, not in MarComm, Alumni Relations, or fundraising, so kissing UCP ass is likely why he’s been hired. #UAlberta

I expect disagreements in politics, but what’s frustrating is seeing the Province continue to share blatantly false information when the City has already provided the facts. This morning, I sat down with Ryan Jespersen to address these claims directly. @ryanjespersen.bsky.social

I often think, when seeing Bills like these, that what Canada needs is another chamber in Parliament, one that is full of smart people from across the country, whose job it is to apply sober second thought to legislation.

Q. 8 & 9 have always been her true goal, IMO. She knows the separation question isn’t winning, but if she gets even close with 8 & 9, she can try and dismantle the country the slow way, and hold off the separatists by telling them that if that doesn’t work, there’ll be more support for them.

In 2024 it took the U of C president less than 24 hours to call in police to remove peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors in 2024. The police attacked the protestors with clubs, shields and pepper balls. So let’s be clear: only some free speech is allowed on that campus.

I actually think that even many Edmontonians who wouldn’t otherwise be sympathetic to Council’s policy will reflexively side with it in any fight with the UCP.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

I know everyone’s jaded and exhausted by the continual parade of madness, but this is the president of US openly inciting racist violence against an entire community of immigrants. (w/ alt text)
The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing.
They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP
