@kim_gaetz Me too

I happily filled out my Census today to help my Province get money for services that benefit everyone. No regrets 😁

@LtGovAB Your Honour…Wishing you much joy and peace today. Happy Mothers Day

On Mother’s Day, I am reminded of Elizabeth Stone’s description of being a mother: “It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” I extend my deepest appreciation and respect to all mothers and nurturing figures for everything that you do.

@austeni Sad. Sad. Sad.

One of those pictures that tell a story better than can words. Evangelical leaders and rabbis inaugurate a dictator-kitsch gold statue of the US president in the midst of his attacks on Pope Leo with absurd lies.

@LtGovAB @RicMcIver And it was a please to have Your Honours with us. Thank you.

It was a pleasure to attend the gathering of MLAs past and present organized by the Alberta Association of Former MLAs and hosted by Hon. Speaker @RicMcIver.

BREAKING: YES! Pope Leo XIV claps back after Trump accused him of "endangering a lot of Catholics" with a brilliant response that has MAGA world screeching. This pope always knows exactly what to say... “Well, the pope would rather talk about the fact that it’s okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and I don’t think that’s very good,” Trump told right-wing commentator Hugh Hewitt. “I think he’s endangering a lot of Catholics, and a lot of people, but I guess if it’s up to the pope, he thinks it’s just fine for Iran to have a nuclear weapon." As has been explained and repeated in countless publications at this point, Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons. Our own intelligence agencies concluded as much and Ayatollah Khamenei — who Trump assassinated — maintained a religious ban against such armaments. Ironically, now that the United States has attacked, Iran has a greater incentive than ever to pursue nukes. What's more, Trump is the one who endangered Catholics, and indeed everyone on this planet, by starting an illegal war on behalf of Israel that could easily escalate into a new world war. While Pope Leo didn't mention Trump by name, a tactic often used by former President Barack Obama, it was clear who he was responding to. “I have already spoken from the first moment ‘peace be with you.’ The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel, to preach peace. If anyone wants to criticize me for proclaiming the Gospel, let them do so truthfully," Leo told reporters in Italian. “The Church has spoken out against all nuclear weapons for years, so there is no doubt about that." Of course Pope Leo doesn't want Iran to have nuclear weapons because the Catholic Church doesn't want anyone to have them. At the same time, he won't support a bloody, genocidal war of aggression being waged against innocent women and children to prevent weapons that were never being built in the first place. Trump's fixation on Leo stems from a frustration with his own powerlessness to stop the Vatican from criticizing this war. He's used to Evangelical Republicans who claim to believe in Jesus but in practice believe in nothing beyond raw power. Now that he's going up against a real Christian, he doesn't have a leg to stand on. Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Pope Leo!

@RonFilipkowski How does putting pass as physical fitness?!

At the WH physical fitness event today, Trump takes the kids outside to demonstrate his athletic ability with a little putting display. He misses every putt before giving up.

@sarobertsonca The majority of Albertans want to remain in Canada and to actualy work in the spirit of cooperative federalism. It is hard work shutting down the separatists’ deceitful rhetoric which blatantly encourages anger, spews disinformation and spreads false hope.

PM Carney on responding to separatist sentiments: "It's to continue to act as we have from the start, which is in the spirit of cooperative federalism, making the country work, making it work for Albertans, making it work for the Indigenous peoples, making it work for all Canadians."

@kim_gaetz A brilliant choice of Madame Arbour as our next Governor General. Her experience and her talents will serve Canada well.

Louise Arbour is Montreal born, fully bilingual, a respected former judge on Ontario Court of Appeal & Supreme Court of Canada, Chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunals. Thank You PM Carney, great choice 🇨🇦

@LtGovAB I know Madame Arbour as a brilliant champion of Human Rights, our just Rule of Law and, indeed, as a woman of integrity. Her appointment is so significant for Canada.

Warm congratulations to the next Governor General of Canada, Hon. Louise Arbour. May your tenure be marked by wisdom, integrity, and a deep commitment to serving all Canadians.

Only proper response when people use the Bible as an excuse for their prejudices

Women also died for the right to vote.

“The premier should not wait for the RCMP. She should not wait for lawsuits. She should not defer to Elections Alberta. She should not send this to a partisan committee. She should call a public inquiry now.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/drjaredwes…

@kim_gaetz @sarobertsonca Is there no-one able to simply tell Poilievre to shut up,even just for his own sake!

@sarobertsonca Pierre keeps getting stupider by the day with this slogan shit. Of course the King was in the US so Pierre would have to use that word because he's a teenager.

Pierre Poilievre says PM Mark Carney "wants to be the King of the economy."

What did Charles actually do? He praised NATO in front of its loudest critic. He championed climate action in front of a climate denier. He called for interfaith dialogue during an administration that has banned citizens from Muslim-majority countries. He praised checks and balances on executive power to a room full of lawmakers who have been unable to exercise them. He referenced the Middle East crisis that is currently straining the alliance he was there to celebrate. He defended the Royal Navy after Trump publicly insulted it. And he did all of this while receiving standing ovations, bipartisan laughter, and a dinner invitation.

Elections Alberta has released a statement on the electoral list! Allegedly the list was provided by an existing political party! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

@mjfree He has no sense of other people, royalty or not.

POS Trump cuts in front of Queen Camilla as she is shaking hands and shakes the hands of his own cabinet members

@LukaszukAB This is at the heart of the discussion. While a “sovereign alberta within a united Canada” is not constitutionally possible, Premier Smith surreptitiously interchanges the word “strong” with “sovereign”. And there’s the rub!

Indeed.

@LtGovAB Gratitude for all who arranged for relocation and for those who came to Canada thereby enriching our nation.

Huge thanks to former diplomat Mike Molloy for Thursday night’s engrossing lecture about the invaluable role Canada played in the relocation of thousands of South Asians after the 1972 expulsion from Uganda. /1
