Local woman wakes up, celebrates Canadian independent booksellers, hopes that your local book shops thrive and one day we see the downfall of Amazon, makes oatmeal.

I did not know this, but it's pretty obvious. Dani was meeting with these companies before coming up with Bill 11. This was who she "consulted". Not doctors. Not patients. Not hospital administrators.

We canvassed Morinville-St. Albert to talk about how we push back against the upcoming separation referendum. People we met are proudly Canadian and proudly Albertan and reject separatism. #4Alberta4Canada #alberta #stalbert #andp

Alberta has been built by people who can smell bullshit. albertareferendumb2026.ca “From farmers and ranchers to energy workers, teachers and nurses, Albertans know the difference between facts and a sales pitch.” Brilliant work exposing the UCP’s referendum website for what it is — a taxpayer-funded sales pitch dressed up as information. Alberta has been built by people who can smell bullshit. From farmers and ranchers to energy workers, teachers and nurses, we know the difference between real facts and government spin. The facts still matter, and yes, we can smell the BS a mile away. Looking at you, UCP.

When 1,000 African Americans emigrated to Alberta from 1909 to 1911, they established many communities. One of those communities was Amber Valley. The settlers and their descendants had a deep impact on Alberta, and Canada's, history.

Yes. With the U.S. stepping back, Canada must step up and help support and defend human rights around the world.

🇨🇦 Everything that is wrong with healthcare, education and public infrastructure in Saskatchewan, Ontario and Alberta is because of these three grifters. They are in government to fill their pockets while undermining Canada and will do nothing for you unless you force them.

"Those who want to see her party defeated need to remind voters that Alberta is already being made into the de facto 51st state under their current government, and that only they can put a stop to it." nationalobserver.com/2026/04/22/opi…

My personal essay was published in Macleans this month. Available at newsstands now.

We’ve gotten to the point at the legislature where we’re not allowed to ask the government if the point of their plan to gerrymander is to cheat? We can’t say lie. We can’t say cheat. UCP are sensitive to those particular words because they lie and cheat. 😳 #ableg #cheaters

Yep. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This isn’t just politics—it’s about the integrity of elections. Duane Bratt draws a striking comparison between AB’s proposed electoral changes and tactics used in Hungary. #AlbertaPolitics #Democracy #Gerrymandering #Canada #EnergyMedia

Jenny Pike began her photography career at Eaton's, and her skill eventually took her to London, England where she developed some of the first images of D-Day in 1944. She then became a police darkroom technician and even did some film work. This is her story. 🧵 1/7

On this day in 1900, Roland Michener was born in Lacombe, NWT (now Alberta). He served in the House of Commons from 1953 to 1962, and as Governor General from 1967 to 1974. Learn more in my Deep Dive 👇 canadaehx.com/2022/07/22/rol…

"Alberta’s scientists have documented that waters downstream of both active and reclaimed (coal) mines routinely exceed safe selenium and other contaminant levels — sometimes by five to 25 times." calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

I will fully admit I cannot listen to Smith’s condescending, horrid voice. I despise everything about this corrupt, awful woman, who has worked tirelessly to destroy the lives of the most vulnerable in our society. @ABDanielleSmith is THE ABSOLUTE WORST OF HUMANITY.

If one knows of any violations, they should be reported to @ElectionsAB I trust that you will report what you know.

Harriet Brooks was born in Exeter, Ontario on July 2, 1876. When she was 18, she enrolled at McGill University. She graduated with first class honours in 1898. Ernest Rutherford was working at McGill and hired her as his first graduate student in Canada. 🧵2/12

Alberta’s version of Boss Hogg, separatist loudmouth Jeff Rath, is in hot water for failing to disclose where he got funding for his separatist roadshow. Who thinks he’s funded by Trump’s MAGA movement? Putin? Both? If you don’t have anything to hide, Jeff, show your receipts!
