Canadians don’t want U.S.-style health care. On Nov. 28, we’re taking that message to Parliament Hill with the @onthealthcoalition.bsky.social On to Ottawa Trek. Free trains from Toronto, Kingston and Montreal. Details and seats:

Sooner or later the oil booms will die. Oil is becoming a high cost energy source. What is the #UCP doing to prepare #Alberta for this eventuality? #abpoli

This is how fast oil use can disappear China's reduction in oil consumption during first half of 2026 due to replacement of fossil vehicles with EVs exceeded the UK’s entire oil consumption during that period China’s CO2 emis fall Q226 due to plummeting oil use carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...

www.cbc.ca/listen/li... Listening to Minister LaGrange, I'm astounded that she cannot even answer the basic questions put to her. She's leading the attack on publicly funded HC, and yet can't even answer simple questions. Let's break down her answers: 1/11

Drafting an EO insisting that vaccines cause autism doesn’t make it true. This won’t go down well. We have an administration that would make policies rooted in falsehoods rather than evidence. 🧪 arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

Unless they’re hiring more specialists, the wait lines will not get shorter. All this does is move people with the ability to pay to the front of the line. #abpoli #ableg

C’mon #ableg #abpoli, you can now request a mail-in ballot via Elections Alberta - elections.ab.ca Let’s show the #UCP how far off the page they are. #Vote #NoToTheNine

Jared Wesley@jaredwesley.ca

Turnout will be crucial in this October's referendums. Because of the number of ballots and the UCP's reforms, we can anticipate waiting in line for hours longer than usual. Mail-in voting is one solution. + reddeeradvocate.com/2026/07/20/e...

Just came home from searching for 4 hours with the husband and son. Lots of people out looking, but the more eyes around, the better. We stuck to Greenview, outskirts of Thornecliffe, and Huntington Hills areas. There are so many places he could be. Help if you can. #FindParker #yyc #MissingChild

On July 16, there is the Premier’s breakfast at the legislature. I encourage everyone to go and ask her all your questions. Because she rarely makes appearances in public in #yeg #ableg

. When we tell Albertans that the #UCP MLA’s are in politics for themselves and their friends, and not Albertans, we aren’t kidding. From faux Environment Minister to VP of lobbying for big oil. #abpoli #cdnpoli

“Whitecap Resources Inc. is pleased to announce the appointment of Rebecca Schulz as Vice President, Regulatory and External Affairs” Whitecap famously has former Sask premier and Rebecca’s old boss, Brad Wall on their board of directors. #abpoli #ableg boereport.com/2026/07/02/w...

. This is why companies are not coming forward to build AB Danielle Smith’s pipeline. How long will AB #UCP continue to tie AB’s prosperity to typewriters and buggy whips? #NeverVoteConservative

. In Alberta, 🇨🇦, the Provincial conservative gov’t is fighting along side the oil and gas industry against the renewable energy industry. Even the Environment Minister is a cheerleader for more fossil fuels. #NeverVoteConservative

kenofseattle@kenofseattle.bsky.social

The fossil fuel industry is fighting the renewable energy industry the same way the dirty coal industry fought natural gas. Ultimately we will no longer rely on coal or natural gas in the not too distant future simply because it's cheaper and easier to implement and maintain solar and wind energy.

Replying to @whstancil.bsky.social

I don’t think people disagree with that so much as people disagree with the implication that keeping them in the torture chamber of X (where, let’s be clear, due to algorithm changes they no longer had any real influence anyway) would somehow have been better for anyone involved

.Same thing is happening in #Alberta, a 🇨🇦 Province with huge wind & solar potential, and substantial oil, gas and coal reserves. #Conservative govt’s aren’t in it for the taxpayers. They’re in it for the trickle up to big oil. Even the #UCP Environment Minister is a cheerleader. #abpoli #cdnpoli

rosebanditquinn@rosebanditquinn.bsky.social

Okay, this is a new chapter of insane. The US (that’s us) is paying companies to walk away from clean energy wind projects. 900 MILLION…just to walk away. This is after we’ve paid another company 1 BILLION to also walk away. In the meantime, consumers costs continue to rise.

I wonder if Harper IDU is working behind the scenes to help get Orban elected. He did during the previous election. #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli

Michael B@dunsmuir1952.bsky.social

@tedlieu.bsky.social Context: Orban meeting Putin is called “international relations and diplomacy”. Orban is a civic nationalist who whose values echo those of America First. Calling Orban “Putin’s puppet” is a leap into irrationality. Never heard of civic nationalism Lieu? x.com/tedlieu/stat...

No thanks. We prefer dirtier and more expensive energy, so we put a moratorium on renewables even though their potential is enormous. You can count on us to defend big oil’s interests until the bitter end. Signed, Alberta #UCP #abpoli

"20 yrs ago the world took a year to add 1 gigawatt of solar. Now it takes just half a day. Solar costs have fallen by around 90% over past decade, & as costs fall, installations accelerate. Nowhere is this clearer than in China 🇨🇳. It now accounts for well over half of global solar installations"

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

Reminder that a former 🇨🇦 Prime Minister and his insidious IDU sent glowing congratulations to Orban when he took power. #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli

Guess I should have expected this, given the UCP thinks of us as “human capital”. We are merely feed for corps in their trickle up world. #DisasterCapitalism #NeverVoteConservative #abpoli #cdnpoli

When asked if Alberta would offer shelter to people fleeing the unprecedented conflict in the Middle East... Nate Horner said that Alberta wants "economic immigrants who will fulfill the roles we need". #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It sickens me that a former Prime Minister of Canada supports Orban. Harper and his insidious IDU are a stain on 🇨🇦 and the world. #CPC is the Canadian tentacle of the IDU. #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli

MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦@maks23.bsky.social

🇭🇺😵‍💫 Orban is going all-in. Sensing that he could lose the April 12 election, he is building his campaign on anti-Ukrainian narratives, in particular, scaring Hungarians with an invasion by the Ukrainian army.
