“The problem with the distinct society notion in Alberta is that based on actual evidence, it’s preposterous. There simply is no evidence that Alberta is culturally different from the population of any other English-speaking Canadian province.”

Getting lawyers to wear cowboy hats for 10 days every July is the closest Alberta’s going to get to a ‘distinct legal tradition’ - Alberta Politics

Alberta has passed Bill 11, allowing doctors to charge unlimited fees at for-profit clinics while working in the public system. This is American-style health care, and if Alberta succeeds, other provinces will follow. Stop this, sign the petition!

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

I can't see with all the smoke that this scandal is giving off. At what point does the Premier, finally, announce a public inquiry? This is not about restructuring health care in Alberta, it is corruption.

I wouldn't care now if the NDP (in 4 short years) spent 100x more than the UCP. Because they would have spent it on our kids, our healthcare system, new hospitals, schools (not private ones), seniors, disabled people, homeless. The constant WASTE we've witnessed under the UCP is an utter disgrace.

Interesting how the feds let Canada Post strike for a little while but immediately intervened for Air Canada. I imagine they saw a strategic advantage in letting workers strike to weaken Canada Post for eventual privatization. Air Canada gets what they want because shareholder profits are in play

this from @meredithmeredith.bsky.social is really smart. You should watch it.
Worth a watch:
