www.ctvnews.ca/calga... Anybody think about who's going to work in our meat processing plants down in Brooks when the govt implements its genius TFW tax of $1900? Do we think Canadian teens are going to take on those jobs? Did the UCP govt even ask employers for their input?

What would charging temporary residents for health care and education mean for Alberta?
When Albertans vote in the province’s referendum this fall, they will be asked whether people legally living and working in Alberta without permanent resident status should pay extra to use two of the province’s most important public services.

"Invasion." "Remigration." They're terms you'd more commonly associate with America's toxic debate around immigration policy than Canada's. But they're starting to pop up here. You can thank Danielle Smith and the UCP for that. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/06/o...

America’s anti-immigration politics are coming to Canada — and Alberta invited them in
The separation question has consumed most of the attention around the province's October 19th referendum. The immigration-related questions also on the ballot might be just as dangerous and divisive.

A miniature figure reclines casually in a blue deck chair on top of a giant tennis ball against a bright turquoise background. The image is paired with a quotation by Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean: “How small are you willing to make your world until everyone agrees with you?” The visual humorously suggests someone retreating into a small, self-contained world where everyone agrees with them.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."
