It's a very good time to remember that Stephen Harper's IDU endorsed Donald Trump three times...

[DKGray @TheRealDKGray]

Well, well.

Who could have predicted that separatists in possession of EVERY VOTERS INFORMATION would use it to cheat?

Smith will do anything to stay in power.

Anything.

I often miss Rachel Notley as Premier.

The Alberta government's justification for preferential paid access to diagnostics was the promise of reimbursement. But private for-profit companies can still set their own exorbitant prices far beyond the benefit rate??

Enough two-tier health care—Just expand public capacity!

Ukraine is the only country defending Europe by engaging the russian fascist invaders in combat. No country has deployed its armed forces to fight alongside the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Such enduring, organized cowardice and dereliction of duty among nations is unprecedented.

Alberta just approved a $13 billion Meta data centre in Sturgeon County. Here’s what they’re not telling you.

It needs a dedicated 1.4 gigawatt gas plant just to run. That’s roughly the entire daily power demand of Edmonton, for one facility.

Alberta’s grid is already 60% gas powered, nearly 5 times the national emissions intensity. Ottawa’s whole AI strategy assumed Canada’s clean grid would power this stuff. Alberta is the exception, and it’s where almost every planned data centre in the country is now landing.

Meta says it’ll fund its own power infrastructure and match usage with clean energy eventually. Pembina’s Greenlight gas plant isn’t even online until second half of 2030. So new gas gets built now, promises get made for later.

300 permanent jobs for a $13 billion investment. Compare that to what else that capital could have built.

Residents near similar projects in Olds have raised real concerns about water use, air quality and noise, with limited say before approvals move forward.

This isn’t an anti-tech take. It’s a question of who actually benefits when a province hands out energy and land for a fraction of the long term jobs a $13B investment should create.

This monster will destroy Alberta’s water. We will rue the day if we let them here.

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

Let’s be clear: Meta chose Alberta because the UCP ditched the requirement for impact assessments. They got approval without having to address concerns about the project’s impact on our water usage or power prices. Smith serves the billionaire class, not Albertans.

🟥 Thank you Elizabeth May for this education on the tanker ban, and epic take-down of Conservative leaders and liars. 😌

I’m in love with this sentence:

“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”

Tidy piece of work from @nubigin, who found an eight-plex in Edmonton that was built with CMHC affordable housing financing that's being used exclusively as an AirBnB. https://t.co/vpLLfuIisf

Today in Lethbridge, I announced $9M to support six tariff‑affected businesses across Southern Alberta. In a time of global uncertainty, we’re focused on what we can control. That means backing local businesses as they adapt and meet this moment head‑on. In doing so, we’re protecting good jobs, strengthening supply chains, and helping them reach new markets.

Aujourd’hui, à Lethbridge, j’ai annoncé une aide de 9 millions $ destinée à soutenir six entreprises du sud de l’Alberta touchées par les droits de douane. En cette période d’incertitude mondiale, nous nous concentrons sur ce que nous pouvons contrôler. Cela signifie soutenir les entreprises locales alors qu’elles s’adaptent et font face à cette situation difficile. Ce faisant, nous protégeons des emplois de qualité, renforçons les chaînes d’approvisionnement et les aidons à conquérir de nouveaux marchés.

Carney should have tied any West Coast pipeline investment for Alberta with the removal of the renewables restrictions in Alberta.

[Lucy 🇨🇦 @TheBlueGem3]

Hey Albertans massive data centres are being planned in Olds, Grand Prairie, Acheson, Leduc County, Rocky view County, Gibbons, Indus and more!. Rural folks should be furious, we should all be furious!

[VisuallyBetter @Isuckatpicking]

Danielle Smith and Mark Carney announced yesterday they will fast track a new pipeline to the West Coast.

You know who isn't happy about this? The Alberta Separatists.

Why?

Because their entire existence revolves around being miserable about absolutely everything.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

I’m shocked that Russia can crash a building onto sleeping families in a European capital, murdering 30 people, without any meaningful reaction from the world whatsoever.

[shelby @thetrueshelby]

Yup

[Rebekah Jones @GeoRebekah]

Almost zero coverage on social media about how Trump lost his final appeal and must pay the woman he raped for lying about raping her.

Odd.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

Caolan is a real fucking reporter. Missiles exploding behind him, and he keeps filming, while the entire Western media hides, closes its eyes, and pretends the war in Ukraine isn’t even happening.

Fucking thank you, @CaolanReports, for doing what the world won’t.

Slava Ukraini

[Peter Jukes @peterjukes]

The absolute humility and generosity of Zelenskyy. What does he say to @CaolanReports when giving him his much deserved award

“Don’t forget us”

Whoever could?
