BREAKING! Today the UCP not only voted to circumvent the Chief Justice of Alberta, but they also voted to hide the letter the Chief Justice wrote raising concerns about the boundary process! We have the text of the letter in our new Substack! #abpoli open.substack.com/pub/thebreakdo…

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: It’s not a secret the disdain Ted Cruz has for people who work working-class jobs. It’s not a secret what he thinks of the waitresses, the line cooks—he thinks we’re less than him. He thinks that because he has a Harvard degree and has never scrubbed a table that it makes him better than someone who has actually had to work for a living. I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

Danielle Smith admitted she wants to ‘throw out’ Canada’s public health care law In 2021, the Alberta premier wondered aloud if privatizing health care would require breaking federal law. ...the answer was ‘yes,’ she’s still going ahead with it breachmedia.ca/danielle-smith… #ableg

Make it convenient for lots of people to ride bikes, and lots of people will ride bikes.

Great to see @Prominent_Bryan in the @WSOnlineNews making the case for why electoral reform is more urgent than ever. He breaks down how proportional representation takes power back from party elites and ensures every region is heard. Full article linked in the replies below!

Carney Allowed Gas-powered AI Data Centres After Lobbying From Alberta Energy Company The Alberta gas giant Capital Power lobbied the government 37 times in the lead-up to an accord suspending clean energy regulations, federal records show. desmog.com/2026/02/25/car… #ableg

A reminder that Alberta scrapped environmental assessment for Kevin O'Leary's data centre near Grande Prairie. #ABPoli #ABLeg nationalobserver.com/2026/04/03/new…

Finland's strategy of building entire apartment blocks for formerly homeless individuals as part of its "Housing First" model has been highly successful, contributing to the near-elimination of homelessness in the country. This came with the creation of apartment blocks specifically designed for homeless individuals. These complexes come with private rooms, mental-health support, job assistance, and social workers on site — helping people stabilize their lives before anything else. The rent automatically adjusts to income, meaning no one is ever priced out again. This approach has already helped Finland achieve the lowest homelessness rate in Europe, proving that stable housing creates a foundation for employment, recovery, and long-term independence.

The battery revolution is amazing. Batteries have almost completely displaced gas in Queensland and all it took was two short years!

Today Smith revealed that multiple UCP staffers knew about the separatist data breach and none of them saw anything wrong with it. “It was just regular oversight of a regular opposition meeting” (Does Dani not know who the opposition is?) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

When you see it, you can’t unsee it. No bus lane. 4 lanes for cars, 2 for parking, 2 for driving. Cars parked in the cycle lane. And some still blame bikes. Congestion costs London £3.85bn a year, yet we still prioritise parking over moving people.

In 1975, a solar panel cost $106 per watt. Today it's under $0.30 per watt. That's a 99.7% cost decline. Unlike fossil fuels which fluctuate with geopolitics and markets... solar has delivered consistent, predictable cost reductions for five decades.

Are you enjoying your 10c/litre holiday from the federal excise tax on gasoline (starting April 20)? The avg Cdn price fell 10c that day. But since then it's risen 20c. So the avg price now is 10 cents higher than BEFORE the 10c tax cut! (Data from gasbuddy.com) /2

During the last election campaign Mr. Carney said that “the days of closer economic and military integration with the US are OVER.” Classic Liberal play - make a promise to win votes, abandon once in power.

Mark Carney and Big Oil are distracting you with a carbon capture scam breachmedia.ca/mark-carney-an… #ableg #CCS

Just as we predicted. Federal excise tax cuts have been ineffective in reducing gas prices. New Democrats proposed a better policy: tax the $90 BILLION windfall oil profits and use that money for real relief for struggling Canadians.
