I’m tired of lies.
I’m tired of stupid.
I’m tired of watching people being gaslit.
It’s all exhausting.
That’s probably the plan.

@torystock @PaulCha94025901 Thank you!

Smith, who has failed to deal in good faith on the Alberta Pension Plan, the provincial police, physicians compensation, anti-trans policies, physicians pay & SO much more...

Wants the feds to know how bad it feels when someone fails to deal with you in good faith.

No Don

Smith didn’t do 'everything”' to satisfy her party— she sold out Alberta to appease a small group of 4,200 convoy supporters, representing 5% of her party

If Smith was truly committed, she would have opened the vote to ALL party members, not just a small minority

House Speaker Mike Johnson has admitted that if Republicans win control of Congress and the White House, they'll try to repeal the CHIPS and Science Act — which is creating more than 115,000 jobs.

Let's flip the House and elect @KamalaHarris so he doesn't get that chance.

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

At a press conference where Smith is complaining about the feds not listening or being responsive...

She confirms that she has recieved a letter from the Minister for Women and Gender Equality & Youth...

But hasn't bothered to read it yet.

Everyone who registered for Smith’s leader vote was secretly subjected to:

- Audits of social media activity
- Reviews of all political donations
- Screening correspondence to the UCP for criticism of Smith

This was NOT a free & fair election; it‘s manipulated support

Canadians are mostly terrified & dreading a Trump victory but they’ll vote for Con premiers & potentially Poilievre as PM? As much as I can’t stand Trump, I can’t stand Poilievre even more.

Trump = Poilievre
Republicans = Canadian Conservatives

Same crap, different countries.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: https://t.co/JQWy2gTfhs just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris.

This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Wow. This new Kamala Harris ad narrated by Viola Davis is one of the most powerful things I’ve watched. It tells the story, experience, & vision of Kamala Harris & why she is ready for this. It’s a masterpiece & it sent chills down my body. Watch & share.

DAMN.

The world lost the greatest musical innovator and genius in Quincy Jones.

There will never be another.

Murray Sinclair was a great Canadian, a great Manitoban, a great Anishinaabe. 

His career stands as a legacy of public service and a deep commitment to truth, fairness and dignity for all people. 

He was the first Indigenous person to be named to the Manitoba provincial court and the Court of Queen’s Bench of Manitoba. He was the first, but he will be remembered as one of the best. 

He was appointed co-commissioner of the Aboriginal Justice Inquiry, which laid bare systemic racism within the justice system and is considered a foundational perspective on the system’s relationship with Indigenous people. He led the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Inquest and his report spurred systematic change in the delivery of pediatric cardiac care in our province. 

The penultimate moment of his career was his work as chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. He approached a process that could have been divisive and instead transformed it into Calls to Action for the future of our country, helping all Canadians to learn to walk together into a future of respect and understanding where we live up to the phrase residential school survivors taught us – Every Child Matters. 

It will be a long time before our nation produces another person the calibre of Murray Sinclair. He showed us there is no reconciliation without truth. We should hold dear in our hearts his words that our nation is on the cusp of a great new era and we must all “dare to live greatly together.” 

On behalf of the people of Manitoba, I extend my condolences to his family and to all Canadians for the loss of Mazina Giizhik. 

A sacred fire will be open to the public on the north side of the legislative building grounds until Murray Sinclair’s funeral later this week.

[Rachel Notley @RachelNotley]

This kind of flip flop reveals bad judgement at best: deciding to attack the very kids she once cried about, for her own political interest, reveals profound immorality.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The GOP loves blaming the deficit on Social Security and Medicare. But the real culprit is giveaways to corporations and the rich.

If not for the regressive tax cuts under Bush and Trump, we would have a stable debt-to-GDP ratio.

That's one thing the GOP will never tell you.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

The Honourable Murray Sinclair dedicated his life to repairing Canada’s relationship with Indigenous Peoples. As the Chief Commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he challenged us to confront the darkest parts of our history — because he believed we could learn from them, and be better for it.

He listened to residential school survivors, and he made sure Canada heard their stories. He advocated for the right of Indigenous students to go to school in their language and culture. And he was kind, patient, and understanding to people like me, who had a lot to learn. “Education got us into this mess,” he said. “Education will get us out.”

With his passing, Canada has lost a giant — a brilliant legal mind, a champion of Indigenous rights, and a trusted leader on our journey of Reconciliation.

My thoughts are with the Sinclair family, his friends, his colleagues, and everyone who is grieving today. We will miss him dearly.

[Jody Wilson-Raybould (JWR), PC, OBC, KC 王州迪 @Puglaas]

Oh my…such incredibly sad news. Sending my love & prayers to his family.🪶

Murray was a mentor, friend, and colleague—I will always cherish his wisdom & celebrate his distinct contributions to Indigenous peoples and to Canada. Gilakas’la 🙏🏽

As an Albertan, I prefer a provincial govt who works with the Feds & uses the funds to properly fund public healthcare & education, rather than lawsuits.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

No, they’re not conservatives. Conservatives do not blow $80 million on fake Tylenol, waste money on frivolous lawsuits just to prove their relevance, deny science, or accuse US of “chemtrails”Conservatives don’t buy private schools and don’t interfere with banking.

The lines to vote at the University of Central Florida are 2 to 3 hours long and have been for the past week. Meanwhile, at other early voting locations with older populations it’s 10 minutes. ⁦@OCFElections⁩ is suppressing the youth vote. This is election interference.
