The Breakdown The number of people who are now defiantly racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQ is stunning. My husband and I have had to DUMP a dozen neighbours and former associates we'd known for decades. They're all business people, who've fallen for Conservative's deliberate spread of hate propaganda

“‘I believe we’re marching toward an uninsurable future in many places,’ said Dave Jones, the former insurance commissioner of California and now director of the Climate Risk Initiative at the University of California Berkeley law school.”

This is total nonsense, posted by yet another fake 'intel' account with a blue tick for engagement.

When someone tells you they will start taking your rights away, believe them. And when that someone is Mr. Poilievre, remember he's done it before.

This long weekend, tell him the Charter belongs to Canadians and to keep his hands off of our rights and freedoms.

This is complete fake news. I'm watching Iran's state TV right now and there's no change in its coverage of the accident for President Raisi's helicopter.

OK, here's a hypothetical question about CPP. If someone retires in Alberta, and the UCP grab Albertans' pensions out of CPP and give the $ to AIMCO, if that retiree moves to another province, can they get their pension put back in CPP? I'm guessing no... #abpoli

David Coletto Unleashing economic growth usually means running roughshod over laws & regulations that try to preserve the environment, protect workers' rights, provide necessary social benefits. It also often entails privatization of services to the detriment of public welfare.

What’s more important to you?

Incredible. Fox News published this article/headline (L ), which implies that the State Dept is warning all Americans overseas of a heightened risk of *random* violence against citizens.

Reality: The warning is about *targeted* violence against LGBTQ events during Pride Month.

I ask this question:

Why is it that many of the outed reprobates end up being UCP donors and private Christian school supporters???

It’s a provocative question, but needs to be asked.

Fine coverage here from Globalnews.ca on our new Centre for Future Work report on the crisis in wages and living standards in Alberta. Real wages down 10% in 10 yrs, worst in Canada. Deliberate govt wage suppression policies are a major reason. globalnews.ca/news/10505393/… Alberta Federation of Labour #canlab

Americans, if you have a relative or friend in the National Guard, it's time to talk to them and let them know what they will be required to do. Security forces can make or break dictatorships by complying or refusing to become aids to repression.

Thomas A. Lukaszuk Mary Shine Danielle Smith UCP strategists were so preoccupied with efforts to lure vulnerable demographics, they didn't count on the Alberta public and police actually noticing.

~Scathing report on the 'AB Advantage'
These policies have prioritized expanding profits for corps&business by deliberately restricting wages&job security for workers
Profits in AB have grown to unprecedented heights, while workers’ share of the pie/living standards have declined

The problems during the Covid pandemic, in my opinion, centered around politicians who lacked the balls to make serious public health decisions.

In doing so, they denigrated decades of public health and made science optional in order to placate less than 10% of the population.

Fascinating thread. Who built Putin’s war machine? Was it the Russians themselves? Nope. Was it China (one authoritarian regime helping another)? Nope. Turns out it was western (mostly Italian) companies that did the job in exchange for Russian oil cash.

“The same fear they put into your hearts”

Mr “we’ve got all the guns” was that scared of a mask and some hand sanitizer?

Hardcore.
