Why are conservative politicians cheerleading Danielle Smith groveling to trump while ignoring all of the non-energy related businesses in Alberta that will suffer from this, and that higher energy prices means higher gas prices, explaining the lower tariff trump imposed?

I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway. #USA #Canada #tariffs Donald J. Trump

The shamelessness of the corruption in unsurprising but still remarkable

Elenore, this is sickening. You have had numerous opportunities to actually help vulnerable people like Eysiah but instead you wait for news stories + then rage bait. You met with us once about Down syndrome advocacy + we never heard from you again. #bcpoli

Researchers at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health studied over 1000 streets on a quest to save lives. The result was something that any psychologist could tell you: design influences behavior. 🚘

"A sane state does not kill babies as a hobby" or plans "the expulsion of a population," says leader of left-wing Democrats party Yair Golan haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

Some people think I was a little too harsh on Natasha Hausdorff last night. So, I watched this clip back and concluded I wasn’t harsh enough. Absolutely despicable to cast doubt over the verified deaths of nine children.

DOGE never made anything more efficient, it just cut our state capacity to do things like predict hurricanes and help people get their social security checks.

"Gaza must be eliminated’: Israel’s airwaves are filled with pro-genocide propaganda. Here is a collection of 20 of the more outrageous statements by Israeli lawmakers or public figures since 7 October 2023" theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"We saw teens, elderly and disabled people using public space on their own terms using their own mobility devices. This is something you don't see in a lot of cities because they are trapped in their home or dependent on others for their mobility needs.” vr.bfluid.com/podcasts/la-vi…

'Cycling cities are all fun and game, but what about people with disabilities?' This visually impaired gentleman👨‍🦼 illustrates how cycling infra creates not less but MORE equity. Reducing car dependence offers more mobility choices to more people.

But of course, one of the real factors in determining whether or not you're a "real" Albertan is whether or not you've ever been vaccinated. No. For reals. Not vaccinated, well that's an extra 10 points! /5

IDF reservist who did three tours in Gaza speaks. “It’s like the Wild West,” he says. “Some commanders can decide to do war crimes.” Separately, an issue that deserves much more coverage in English is suicides of IDF soldiers after returning from Gaza.
