This, all of this. ✊🏾👏🏾💥 Why aren't senior business leaders across AB industry sectors dropping these statistics on immigration & the absolute dependency that Alberta's workforce has on immigration? Why aren't all the business & political leaders who aren't Canadian-born standing up & speaking out?

We’re in an era where the fight against fascism and authoritarianism is on almost every ballot. Voting has always been important, but never more than now. Vote like your rights, your future, your vote itself, and even your life, are all on the line. Because there’s a very good chance they are.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.

“I don't like polls. They've proven to be unreliable, like consistently in the last 10 years,” Larson said. “Everyone that I know who's in [the] separatist movement has not wavered once.” What a bubble of denial and stories these folks live in.

Graphic on a white background reads “I VOTED FOR OPTION 1 TO REMAIN IN CANADA” with “OPTION 1” in red. Below, it says “NO TO THE NINE OTHER QUESTIONS,” with “NO” and “NINE” in red. A red wooden pencil lies horizontally across the lower centre of the graphic. Beneath it, dark charcoal text reads “HER PROMISES? WRITTEN IN PENCIL.”

Reposting my message below as it’s relevent to upcoming municipal elections, the BC Provincial Election, the Alberta Separatism Referendum, and a lot more voting chances coming up. We often vote for “change,” and it’s often badly needed, but never forget that a “change option” CAN BE EVEN WORSE.

It takes a special kind of bigotry... To read the definition of hate speech and follow it up by saying "I'm going to take it to another level"... Before launching into an appalling attack on an entire religion. But Alberta Separatists are apparently up to that task. #abpoli
