We already know there’s US money funding the Alberta sovereignty movement. Members of the Trump administration are making it clear that pushing Alberta secession is part of their fascist project.

1/ As the people of Minneapolis rise up against ICE, it's painful and shameful that Canadian companies are selling armoured vehicles to Trump's masked militia and providing tech support to the dept of Homeland Security.
Two article screenshots side by side. The first: Vancouver tech firm Hootsuite provides services to US Homeland Security. The second: 'Fantastic news': Ford welcomes ICE plan to order Ontario armoured vehicles.

A failed UCP candidate is suing @pressprogress.ca for reporting and quoting things she said. With no anti-SLAPP protection in Alberta, they've been drawn into a long, costly legal battle. If you believe in accountability and a free press, and can spare it, give them your support.

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

Also getting a first look at the bill (we get advanced info under embargo but not the actual text): The notwithstanding clause would allow the govt to override the Charter, the Alberta Bill of Rights and the Alberta Human Rights Act. You may recall UCP members pushed hard to bolster the BoR.

Currently at Burnaby City Hall, where Burnaby Residents for Palestine are delegating for the adoption of a framework for Anti-Palestinian Racism. There’s been an alarming 600% increase in APR in Canada. APR is racism that silences, excludes, defames or dehumanizes Palestinians or their narratives.
