I assume that all the people screaming about the “safety” of women in bathrooms because of the potential presence of trans women are now advocating for the elimination of all fraternities on every campus, right? Right?

In the last week we’ve seen the signing of a hockey player accused of sexual assault to the Oilers, a woman forced to remain seated beside a masturbating man on an airplane & now the horrific case out of Cornell Other men stood by & did nothing We choose the bear because statistically, it’s safer

We’re at the point in Alberta where Ministers of the crown are celebrating the opening of garage doors. That’s it. It’s a garage door. Not an ambulance, no, it’s a garage door. #ableg #abpoli

Trump bans CNN, MSNow & Politico. This is (again) a master class seminar in solidarity (and lack of it), capitalism (and its power) and who determines the information the public receives. And the overwhelming apathy that allows it.

The often unrecognized factor of end stage capitalism is that industry collectively & intentionally stops giving the consumer what they want to force continual purchase of higher expense goods to ensure higher profit margins & stock inflation 1/x

Am I the only person with the profound sense that I’m being gaslit into accepting AI? Building data centres “will” create jobs, AI “will” cure cancer, you “must” use it at work & school to succeed Politicians, media & pundits repeat these predictions as accepted facts It’s classic gaslighting

As the President does love himself some UFC on the White House lawn, might I suggest we settle our trade war by hosting a cage match on Parliament Hill between Chrétien & Trump. I’m sure old Jean hasn’t lost his mean right hook & in a nod to nostalgia, we’ll hold a pie sale for charity #canpoli

Interesting data from @davidcoletto.bsky.social at Abacus. Alberta is a province that “has been asked a question it did not want by a government it does not trust to answer it, about a country it is not prepared to give up, in the shadow of a neighbour it does not trust at all.”
David Coletto O @DavidColetto
The results of our deep dive into Alberta public opinion is fascinating. I really think people will find it incredibly valuable and insightful.
Here's my summary of what I think we found.
Alberta is a province right now that...
1, Judges Canada to be on a better track than Alberta
2 Feels more favourable to the federal Liberal leader to its conservative Premier
3
and...
Feels far angrier than hopeful about independence
4
Has been asked a question it did not want by a government it does not trust to answer it, about a country it is not prepared to give up, in the shadow of a neighbour it does not trust at all.Bar chart: Most Albertans say the province is on the wrong track; views of Canada are more evenly split

The one social construct Canadians have en masse is the art of passive aggression with plausible deniability Let’s perfect the slow boat Sure we’ll still export but I’m sorry, we lost your order, sorry, we forgot to turn on that switch, sorry, we forgot to load the truck, sorry day off 🤷🏼‍♀️ #cdnpoli

The trade deal collapsed due to Trump’s last minute demand to control Canada’s deals with other countries A direct threat to our sovereignty In a truly united Canada, Alberta would shut off the oil taps to Texas refineries & Saskatchewan would refuse to export potash to American farmers #canpoli
