Did she insist on seeing their records of birth and citizenship first?
I did not have 'Danielle Smith appears on America's Got Talent' on my bingo card and yet here we are. (Also, Edmonton's Acro Canine Crew is probably the best dog act in the show's history, bar none, let's bring the title home to Alberta)

Just so we’re all clear… This appears to be Elections Alberta responding to a lawyer who appears to have entered fraudulent information to try get a mail in ballot. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

We can, Eva. A valid Alberta address is required to get past the first screen - this would not have submitted at all. Eligible electors can have their ballot sent nearly anywhere in the world. This proves nothing except a deliberate disinformation attempt. N

Of all the offensive things DT has done, THIS and THE MERE PRESENCE of menstrual products in bathrooms in Canada (in federal facilities) are the most offensive to fully misogynist, partial-term, former premier Kenney.
Not sure which is more ridiculous... this, or Trudeau putting tampons in the men's rooms on military bases.

You. Must. Watch. This. I’m not crying. You’re crying. This is fucking momentous. The world is moving on. “Democracy does not belong to the richest, the strongest, or the loudest, but to all of us.” Canada has been invited to become an associate member of the EU.

"Poacher is trampled to death by elephants while 'lining up a shot' to kill a white rhino An armed poacher sneaking up on unsuspecting rhinos was ambushed by a herd of elephants and trampled to death as he lined up a shot to cash in on its prized horn. Two men with a high-powered rifle and an axe had crossed into the iconic Kruger National Park in South Africa looking for a potential £10,000 payday with a single shot. But unknown to them the white rhino herd had been following a water source along with a group of nearby African elephants sheltering from the harsh sun under trees. As the pair closed in on the rhinos – whose horn per ounce is worth more than gold or cocaine on the black market – the elephants broke cover and charged them. A Kruger National Park source said: 'The two ran in different directions but the one lining up the shot was the slowest to his feet and the elephants went for him first. 'He was quickly overrun and the elephants trampled him into the earth and all that we found was basically a very large blood stain around the clothing he was in. 'The other poacher made it to safety but has since been arrested. We were alerted to the incident and followed the suspect back to where the incident happened. 'The report came in that there was not much left but a big blood stain in the earth and his clothes'" Daily Mail archive.today/krmPB

Maybe we shouldn’t take advice on international relations from the guy who completed a 4-year degree in International Relations in ELEVEN YEARS. #NeverPoilievre
The Prime Minister is out of touch and Canadians are out of money. He has his officials tell foreign newspapers he is secretly negotiating for Canada to become an associate member of the EU. Then he has his officials tell Canadian media it’s not happening. Then he tells Canadians we are not becoming a member, and then tells the European Parliament he welcomes it. He doesn’t spend 5 seconds asking waitresses or welders in Canada whether they can afford European taxes, laws, and open borders chaos. Enough. This country belongs to Canadians. Our laws, our borders, our tax dollars belong to our people alone.

Hi. 😊 Swedish dude here If you get diabetes and need insulin, in Sweden it costs you nothing. Zero. By law. Not a coupon. Not a charity program. The state pays. Same for the tools that keep you alive. Pumps. Sensors. Needles. Test strips. Prescribed by a doctor. Handed over by the state. You do not ration your dose because the bill is scary. You do not skip a sensor because rent is due. Sweden has one of the highest rates of type 1 diabetes in the world. So we decided the treatment should not be a luxury. The society pays. The person who got sick does not. Follow for more glimpses into life in a social democracy, where dignity is not a privilege. Peace ✌🏼

Is it irony that our provincial government is all in on AI but is subjecting us all to wait for vote results because they believe made-up concerns about vote tabulators? #ABPoli

Calgary Shaw was the 50th best riding for the NDP in the last Alberta election. (In an election needing 44 seats to win)

Hi. 😊 Swedish dude here. When our children get sick, we have 60 paid days per year to stay home with them. Per parent. They're separate from my 25 paid vacation days. Meaning I don't have to use my own paid sick leave. If I'm a single parent: 120 days. If my child has a chronic illness: 120 days If my child is hospitalized: unlimited days. These days reset every January. By law. every year until child is 18. Follow for more glimpses into life in a social democracy, where dignity is not a privilege. Peace ✌🏼

The Smith government's claim that immigrants are a drain on public coffers? Bullshit. Debunked. Vote No to the Nine to stop the scapegoating. Hold the government to account. thetyee.ca/News/2026/09/10/A…

Kenney explaining that a red octagonal-shaped sign at an intersection is just too hard for people like him to understand. Let’s all imagine him sounding-out S—T—O—P as he drives his blue ‘Berta truck around.
I'm all for sincere efforts to preserve and transmit indigenous languages. As Premier, I funded efforts to teach Blackfoot and Cree. But this👇 kind of pointless and potentially dangerous virtue signalling sets back the cause of indigenous languages. Indigenous languages were oral, not written. The orthographic systems were generally developed by missionaries and colonial officials, so are literally an extension of colonialism. Moreover, virtually no one can read these languages, apart from a handful of academics. This kind of parodic symbolism sets back the cause of real reconciliation, while creating a completely unnecessary public safety hazard.
