I was disappointed by a segment on today's (4 April 2024) Power & Politics.
Politicians being threatened with violence was discussed. What the host and pundits failed to mention, deliberately it appeared, was that almost all of the threats of violence against Canada's politicians is…

Today in Calgary. PM Trudeau pounces on Premier Smith's continued attacks against the Carbon Tax citing previous statements where she was for it. Including how Federal Cons are holding back further rebates for rural Albertans.

I'll add that another factor is that the climate will continue to change until human emissions of GHGs get to ~zero. If that happens relatively soon, then the changes may be marginal. If not, then they may be substantial and have significant impacts.

In honor of Donald Trump, list all the good things Hitler did. I'll go first:

He killed Hitler.

President Zelensky has confirmed that the russian advance has been stopped across the front.

I glimpsed the headline earlier today and thought no, even Trump would draw the line at praising Hitler.

Alas. I was mistaken.

Folks, he’s telling us who he is in person at his rallies. He’s telling his advisers who he is in private. If we elect Donald Trump, we won’t be able…

1/12 🚨 EXPOSED: Putin’s Plan for Post-Election Tyranny! “Tightening the Screws” is just the start. Ukraine’s “Cyber Resistance” & InformNapalm unveiled a roadmap to global war. Eyes wide open – this is where we act. #KremlinGate 🧵

And it’s still the 1960s in Alberta!

His government didn't help Canadians it helped corporations.
No amount of revisionist history can change that...

As a man who used to abuse adderall, listen to my expert opinion:

What’s left of Trump’s brain was vibrating through the Speed Force tonight.

Emma Graney 🇦🇺🤷🏻‍♀️🇨🇦 Nothing like Conservative principles being tossed aside. Private property!! Not in Alberta!! Landowners going to be told by the government what they can and can't do with their own land. I think that's called gatekeeping.

Emma Graney 🇦🇺🤷🏻‍♀️🇨🇦 Just imagine where we'd be today if the reclamation measures proposed here had actually been enforced on non-renewable extraction development.

Instead, corporations walked and continue to walk away with profits leaving us to pay for remediation due to industry's funding failure.

Emma Graney 🇦🇺🤷🏻‍♀️🇨🇦 But this same government is forcing Canmore city Council to approve an unwanted mega mansion development in a crucial wildlife corridor. sprawlcalgary.com/canmore-three-…

Emma Graney 🇦🇺🤷🏻‍♀️🇨🇦 Can’t wait to see how “pristine viewscapes” are defined in the regulations.

Emma Graney 🇦🇺🤷🏻‍♀️🇨🇦 What happens when you don’t have to own the libs.

Emma Graney 🇦🇺🤷🏻‍♀️🇨🇦 Alberta already had a really solid rewewable energy plan under the Wildlife Directive for Alberta Wind Energy Projects. As for ag? You can work right up to the base of the turbine. LOTS of farmers do this. This is straight up authoritarian measures that a Libertarian is imposing.
