On the upcoming AB separation referendum campaign - my view on @thestrategists.ca this afternoon: there’s a lot of hot air about the air war, and a lotta people want in on it, but the real pass/fail for federalists will be on the ground. #ableg #cdnpoli

On Canada Day, it’s worth remembering our love of our imperfect, maddening country is not conditional. Our Canadian-ness doesn’t come from whether govt enacts our preferred policy choices. If that were the case, social democrats like me would be the OG separatists! #ableg @thestrategists.ca

Here is a clip of @avilewis.ca and @naomiaklein.bsky.social being gleeful that the Alberta NDP only had one term in govt. Sure, I get it. They think my record as Environment Minister is something to be ashamed of. Coal phase-out, renewables, indigenous equity, energy efficiency etc…

At the BCNDP Convention - Eby’s biggest standing ovation so far comes for his pledge that a BCNDP govt will never - ever - override the right to bargain and negotiate using the notwithstanding clause.

And here’s what you got when conservative Premier Gordon Campbell brought in a ctax in 2007. The way the tax breaks have been delivered has changed over time but you cannot argue they’re not there, that is a claim that is objectively false. Unless you haven’t filed taxes since 2007, you got a rebate

Sorry, it’s just factually incorrect. Here’s what you get now:

I was able to do a little x-country ski at Syncline. Love to spend some time in Castle Provincial Park.

And I think we all know who it should be:

Marg Delahunty, a Canadian comedic character from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, who would ambush politicians in the 90s in a red Viking (maybe?) costume

For our American friends - here’s what you probably need to know about Canadian politics today. If you know, you know. #cndpoli #canada

I had nothing political to say today, so here’s me and my friend on our way to the park.

Ripping off a compelling post I just saw by @mattyglesias.bsky.social on the hellsite - Swing voters’ top critiques of Harris: — inflation, immigration, trans issues (very vague) Least compelling: — too pro-Israel, too conservative, not similar enough to Biden blueprint2024.com/polling/why-tr…

US beef producer wants Trump to use tariffs to raise the price of foreign (read: Canadian) beef, so he can charge Americans higher prices. He also hopes Trump will "rein in inflation" - for him, not his customers. Canadian beef producers probably need a Trump plan that doesn’t involve pompoms.
