"Before Becoming AB Premier, Danielle Smith Mused About How 'Easy' It Would Be To Annex Northern BC"

Druh Farrell @druhfarrell.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

"Annexing BC would be easy" Never give a far-right talk show host, who's paid to muse about every wild idea that comes into her warped brain, and whose past political track record is one disaster after another, the keys to power.

On repeat. Adopting rightwing policies doesn't win centre-left votes.

Headline: Adopting rightwing policies does not help win centre-left win votes. Study of European electoral data suggests social democratic parties alienate supporters by moving toward the political centre.

These buildings are across the lane from each other. One is a single detached house and the other is a group of row houses. This week Calgary City Council will debate repealing the bylaw that allows the ones on the right.

New at the library. Eleven Percent by Maren Uthaug is an inverse The Handmaid's Tale that asks: What if women took over the world? A few women protest that the males should be treated better - more space, better food, but all agree that testosterone cannot be allowed to roam free.

Dropped by the book store and it was packed with young people shopping for books. The reports of the death of paper books are greatly exaggerated!

Same. We have a knitting group in Calgary call Les Tricoteuses (à la Madame Defarge). I've been rage knitting so much that I've developed tennis elbow.

"The truth is... I don’t want more power-hungry men in suits making decisions rooted in greed and disconnection. I want a circle of indigenous grandmothers— women who carry the memory of the land, the language of the stars, and the wisdom of what it means to care for the next seven generations."

The UCP wants to open hunting on Tundra Swans. Can you tell the difference between a Trumpeter Swan – a species at risk – and a Tundra Swan👇? Even the most experienced bird watchers find it difficult w/o the aid of a spotting scope. Please contact your MLA & MP and let them know your objections.

Gulp. On "More Everything Forever" by Adam Becker: "a must-read for understanding that the visions of the future promoted by today's techno-oligarchs are built on pseudoscience and far-fetched fantasies mixed with racism, eugenics, and colonialism."

"Picture a fascist trying to exert control over a cat. "You can't sit there!" they'd bark, pointing to an off-limits chair. The cat, naturally, would hop onto the chair... "Oh, I didn't hear you over the sound of me not caring." Great advice, @brittlestar.com!

Who cares what Gates thinks? The man is utterly disconnected from the needs of average people. Time to kick billionaires with their saviour complexes to the curb.

This is one of the most impressive pieces of campaign literature I've ever seen. Comprehensive, thoughtful, and immensely readable. Well done, Myke Atkinson.

I never paid much attention to celebrities as a kid, but I had a mad crush on Robert Redford, as much for his activism as the way he rocked a peacoat and aviators.

Sorry about all the smoke, dear delegates. It's "wildfire season". Perfectly normal. Make sure you wear a mask when you head to the mountains, if you can find them.
