“I think the British public wants to be disassociated, not just in principle but in practice, from Donald Trump’s aggression against the Iranian people” Former RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch believes the UK should not allow the US to use its military bases “at all” #Newsnight

Another day, another “trust us” from the Alberta government, right after a story that gives people every reason not to!

Bob Rae: "We've got to stop normalizing the Trump administration. It's not a normal administration. It's corrupt."

Alberta’s government is just a phenomenal example of bad governance on so many fronts

Pts are dying due to prolonged waits for care in our EDs… Pts are harming themselves, staff, and other pts in our EDs… Our teams are begging for help Instead our Govt is focused on separation, library police, and interfering w end-of-life care choices…

Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi calls for Justice Minister Micky Amery to be fired following latest Globe and Mail article chronicling latest twist in ongoing Sam Mraiche story.

Reporting from the Globe and Mail shows yet more evidence of this government’s cheating and dishonest behaviour. Justice Minister Mickey Amery has tried yet again to shield his best friend and relative Sam Mraiche, as well as himself, from investigation and prosecution. Albertans have known about these conflicts of interest for over a year, and Premier Smith has done nothing. This new evidence cannot be ignored. Premier Smith needs to fire Mickey Amery immediately and instruct Elections Alberta to re-open its investigation into cheating to benefit Mraiche, Amery and the UCP government. This is a pattern of behaviour from this UCP government. They cheat and grab power because they know they cannot win legitimately. The Premier needs to fire Mickey Amery today. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@Microinteracti1 Orban is also supported by former CDN PM Harper, chairman of alt right IDU, whose members include Orban, trump, and other Putin assets.

“These maps are wildly different from the interim report, and when you follow polling data, they appear to be a blatant attempt to create hybrid urban-rural ridings that favour the party that appointed the two minority members.” #AbLeg edmontonjournal.com/opinion/letter…

This is what the UCP does: sweetheart deals for cronies, and when their corruption is exposed … deny, delay, deflect … and change the rules to favour their friends!

In case anyone needs to hear this, OF COURSE it's completely unacceptable that the Justice Minister is related to Sam Mraiche by marriage while Mr. Mraiche is under investigation. Like, OF COURSE that is ripshit insane. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

This is a huge mistake!! The love affair with AI will end in tears. And drought! Alberta scraps environmental assessment for Kevin O'Leary's 'world's largest' data centre | Canada's National Observer nationalobserver.com/2026/04/03/new…

COI and then some. 🤬 "Alberta Justice Minister Mickey Amery shortened the amount of time Elections Alberta has to penalize political finance violations while his friend and relative Sam Mraiche was under investigation by the regulator, a Globe and Mail investigation has found."

Plot thickens… “The legislative change raises further questions about Mr. Amery’s potential conflicts of interest given his relationship with Mr. Mraiche, who is at the centre of a health procurement controversy in the province.” #ableg

“Alberta Justice Minister set new limits for election regulator when his friend, Sam Mraiche, was under investigation” And, then he granted himself immunity from the Law Society’s oversight. We need a full public inquiry into this matter. #AbLeg theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

'(Amery spox) characterized questions about whether the legislative change had anything to do with the investigation as a “conspiracy theory"' Justice Minister set new limits for election regulator when his friend Sam Mraiche was under investigation: G&M theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Hmmmm… same characters caught up in suspicious activities again and again… Endless appearance of conflict of interest too… This govt simply thinks ABs just don’t care about law and order… They’ll simply rewrite the laws and carry on… zero transparency or accountability

@scubadang722 @TheJasonPugh The ONLY reason we survived the 2008 financial crisis is Liberals in Parliament blocked Harper’s plans to deregulate our banks American -style. When the crash hit, 🇨🇦 Canadians were protected. And Mark Carney was Governor of the Bank of Canada. You’re welcome.
