Poilievre got caught red handed raising the cost of food prices across Canada with Galen Weston. He also allowed his MP’s to dine with Nazi Christine Anderson. And now he wants Trudeau to resign? He’s trying desperately to turn the page on the Loblaws scandal. Don’t let him.

~100 yrs ago Canada's Chief Medical Officer was forced into retirement. He tried to get the fed gov't to stop sending kids to die of TB in residential schools.
This year, AB intervened to prevent the Dr hired by the Indigenous Wellness Core from taking the job. Two top leaders

Dear @MSNBC I was in the car for 2 hours today & thought I’d catch up on some news since Trump has dominated your programming for days now. Well, guess what it was just more of the same. And if it wasn’t Trump it was GOP prez candidates. Did it slip your mind that we have a

As Canadians, we were lulled into apathy by the reality that elections didn’t really matter. No matter which party won, we would end up with some form of a rational, centrist government.
Those days are over.
Now, there are dangerous political actors on ballots.

Wow, you really did it Alberta. You elected a residential school denialist, found to breech the Conflict of Interest Act, who repeatedly said she will make you pay for health care Premier. A party with blatant transphobia, racism, literal violence, and corruption. Wow. Good luck.

This was a tight race. I estimate (as of 12:30am) that a minimum of ~1.6k votes in the closest races would change who forms govt. That's just 0.1% of votes. The closest in history. #abvote

Or do you like when strangers protect each other and say good morning?

Remember how coal mining in the Rockies was such a huge deal a year or two ago? After the UCP converted protected natural areas into "open for mining" areas?
Well, that story's far from over. They still want more coal mines, but are advancing it even more quietly now 😡.

.@AbDanielleSmith doesn’t want to talk about this until after the election, but UCP made a promise to Australian billionaire and now, quietly, gave a green light to start the dig.
Alberta mountains are for sale.
