"I look at the Americans.
I look at Ron DeSantis in Florida and Kristi Noem in South Dakota," said Smith.
"They've been able to create little bastions of freedom, and we can create a little bastion of freedom in Alberta as well." - Danielle Smith speaking in Gibbons.
Freedom.
Freedom to be like Florida or South Dakota.
Freedom to be who you really want to be, what you really are.
A total uncaring dick.
Right?
That’s the “freedom” she’s celebrating.
The freedom to not give a flying fuck about other people.
No masks. No vaccines. No rules. No commitments.
Nobody stopping you from telling “your truth” about gays and immigrants and vaccines and conspiracies that you can hardly fucking spell, let alone understand.
It tells me everything that the places she aspires to take us aren’t some better version of Alberta.
But a colder version of the War on Disney and the highest Covid deaths in the US.
She wants and her base craves “freedom”, the freedom to ban books, and taunt gays, to spread hate and outright lies.
I can’t believe that Alberta has come to this, but it was inevitable when Kenney broke the wall between Jesus and the money changers to cobble together the UCP.
When she says she’ll turn us into South Dakota, believe her.
I keep telling people, you’ve got 4 weeks to get out the vote, or four years to protest.
Go help get out the vote.

Pressure the fuck out of your apolitical friends.

“Take Back Alberta” (TBA), the radical right-wing group formed to oppose Covid public health measures and instrumental in organizing the criminal Coutts border blockade, is now the main controlling force behind Smith and UCP.

From 2019 until February 24, 2022, Ukraine engaged in 88 rounds of diplomatic negotiations with Russia, mediated by France and Germany, in an attempt to bring an end to the war. However, Russia imitated diplomacy while preparing for a full-scale assault. @United24media has more.
The goal of the Olympic Movement, as per the Olympic Charter, is to promote sport “in a spirit of friendship, solidarity, and fair play". Russia ruins not only fair play, but also lives of Ukrainian athletes. The real fair play is to ban Russian athletes from the Olympic Games.
Chills. This is a hockey team from Ukraine taking the ice in Canada.
They're 12-yr-old kids, but they've turned this into the biggest day in the 63 year history of Quebec City's PeeWee hockey tournament. The premier told poeple to show support.

The UCC welcomes reports that Germany will deliver Leopard-2 tanks to #Ukraine and will give permission for allies to do the same. The UCC urges the Government of #Canada to join the growing coalition of nations supplying Ukraine with Leopard-2 tanks.
@JortsTheCat@jvipondmd Had 2 flights within Canada in the last couple of days. Perhaps 10% of us wore N95 masks. Such a simple yet effective preventive measure.
Merkel's Germany relied on
- the US for security
- Russia for energy
- France for running the EU
- Turkey for regulating migration
- China for growth
I am not sure the chancellor has understood that this system has collapsed. It's a thing of the past.
We need bold new policies.
