Every bookstore and non-school library in Alberta just got their list of books to prominently display, thanks to the Government of Alberta. Every book club knows what books to read and discuss for the next 100 months. My hope is the Streisand Effect will be in full swing in my province.

I was wondering what happened to Sloth after Goonies. But I see he’s now the host of the Charlie Kirk Show.

If the Minister of Justice is counseling the Chief Electoral Officer to disregard the law, it makes you wonder what kind of advice he's offering the premier and the rest of government. Predictably, the move is sowing further distrust in the democratic system, including elections and courts.

Most Albertans, including healthcare workers, will now have to pay to get a COVID vaccine. Danielle Smith promised Albertans would never have to pay out of pocket for the medical treatment they need. She lied. Such a cruel, dangerous, anti-science, anti-public health decision. Make it make sense.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Nenshi’s NDP should avoid panicking in response to these two polls but it’s hard to see this as anything but a five alarm fire. The gains being made by the UCP in the two big cities should be deeply concerning for the NDP, especially with a by-election happening in suburban Edmonton-Ellerslie.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.

Normalize insisting that your staff take sick days. They can't work effectively if they're exhausted. And if they try and push through, they'll just keep the cycle of sickness going. They're looking for your permission to take the time they need to recover. Give it enthusiastically.

While I appreciate the sentiment behind folks who’ve voted saying “doing my civic duty,” you’ve actually done the bare minimum. Stay on your representatives. Hold them to account. They’re not celebrities. They work FOR us. Democracy is NOT a spectator sport.

No, five bridges in downtown are not closing all at once

Despite fear mongering by Downtown business organizations and their preferred mayoral candidate, we're not about to bridge-lock our downtown.

Turns out being supported by the same people who support Trump, copying Trumps lazy insult lines, doing Trump-like things like refusing to get the normal security clearance (assuming he CAN get it), & generally wanting to BE Canada’s Trump isn’t all that popular in Canada.

Poilievre is losing ground thanks to the Trump effect

A plurality of Conservative supporters in Canada support Donald Trump. Do they realize that's about to cost them the next federal election?

Some more stuff: Some provinces will stop procuring goods and services from U.S. companies. All provinces (except Alberta) are also endorsing retaliatory tariffs, likely to be announced in a half hour. (Alberta is continuing to pretend like this trade war is about border security.)
