Passionate about local government, municipal governance, Chicago blues, and the Oxford comma. Слава Україні!
So in the Republic of Alberta, POGG becomes “Peace, Order, and NDA.” Cool! Also, the fact that they use a maple leaf at the bottom of graphic just makes me laugh!
The Breakdown AB“We will accept anonymous submission for our plan on separation as long as you sign an NDA” is a sign of a very serious and well organized effort. With less than 3 months to the vote. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
In 2015, I presented a Motion to the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (municipal elected leaders) to extend the franchise to 16/17 year olds … and the first 3 counter-arguments were “they don’t pay taxes.” Many people don’t understand the idea and workings of “Democracy.” #NotRocketScience
Rachel GilmoreOh is the Shopify CEO like.......STUPID stupid? The system he called "good" suggested we hand out votes based on income tax paid. Does THE HEAD OF AN E-COMMERCE GIANT think sales taxes are income taxes?? Someone take away this man's phone!!!
Absolutely! With whom does the premier have to “check” to see if using the Alert system to find a missing neurodivergent child is OK? The fact that the conversation continues while the child remains missing is heartbreaking … and a demonstration of poor provincial leadership.
Dr Lindsay TeddsWhile i appreciate there are some assholes in Alberta who were offended by the alertt last weekend, most Albertans are heartbroken by this because we still hope for what is unlikely. As we clasp our neurodiverse selves and kids www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
The irony of an ad promoting the use of an AI model running in an article about avoiding AI is so July 2026!

It. Just. Never. Ends. However, if we all focus and act on our individual passions, together we can bring down a grossly incompetent, clearly corrupt, ideologically-driven government that is hell-bent on redesigning the province in the image of the US. #NotOnMyWatch #ABuseOfPower
Charles RusnellImportant under-the-radar story Via Zoe Mason - Essentially, the UCP are eliminating citizen-involved boards that might criticize the govt's anti-environmental agenda. The UCP Is Killing a Key Part of Alberta's Environmental Protection via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/07...
It’s important to note that “physician referral” testing is still covered, so as long as you don’t have a doctor who contributed to the UCP, you should be ok! efpublic.elections.ab.ca/efParty.cfm?...

MrsDrJimSo that's why they were so obscenely over-paid. Now it all makes sense. The grift never fucking ends with Danielle Smith and the UCP. 🤬 #abPoli
This is how it works. Long application processes, medical documentation /opinions, annual reporting, audits, constant paperwork … most requiring time off work, money, and access to technology. These are the things that force people off government programs meant to help them. #ABLeg #ABPoli
