@AdStandardsCan @Kars4kids @GlobalTV I have now done so.

A public reply would be appreciated.

Just saw a @Kars4Kids ad on @GlobalTV Edmonton. CBC just pulled these same ads after a California court ruled they're misleading donors. Why is Global still running them? @AdStandardsCan

The Brexit/Alberta separatism analogy isn't about comparing a state leaving an economic union to a province leaving a nation. Alberta separatism, if successful, would have a vastly more significant impact on its people than Brexit.

The analogy is pointing out how political movements that initially demonstrate limited support can take on a life of their own, ultimately leading to outcomes that those who voted in favour didn't actually intend. Especially when fed by arguments that are divisive, opportunistic, emotional, nationalistic, and misleading.

That's the prospect being raised here; that a lot of Albertans who vote for "sticking it to Ottawa" or "generating leverage" are going to wind up with a basket of negative political and economic consequences that they didn't initially think possible.

We’ve got a signal! 📡Orion is talking to the Deep Space Network, which is what NASA uses to communicate with its spacecraft that are out in deep space. For the first time in over 50 years, a spacecraft carrying humans to the Moon is sending signals to Earth.

@MargTokar So I checked and this was fabricated. Didn't happen. I guess we have to be careful with both sides of the political spectrum.

Conservatives always want to be seen as competent fiscal managers. Truth is if NDPers were drowning Albertans with this level of debt Conservatives would hunt ‘em like ducks.

After working with ChatGPT, quite effectively these past couple of years, and other associated AI systems (like basic autocorrect) on phone, computer, car, I have a new tagline.

AI. Everyone hears Intelligence but forgets the word ARTIFICIAL.

@sweetest_beach @DemocraticWins I think your fact about E. Jean Carroll is incorrect. She has only ever, publicly anyway, accused the President of sexually assaulting her. There were 21 or 22 other women who joined with her in accusing the President of sexual assault against them. So please stick to the facts.

Danielle Smith proves once again she IS Trump 2.0. It's well past time to organize a "stop already" campaign. We keep believing we just need to wait 'til the next election" while fascists change the rules.

I'm wondering if The Great Dictator will allow midterm elections. Certainly he won't watch them usurp his power.

I fear we are approaching an endgame THIS year, not in 2028/29. American democracy either takes a stand by November, or it's gone.

This is real, folks.
