Love this guy ♥️.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

From Lula’s victory speech. Hard to argue. 🇧🇷 “We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. We cannot have monstrously large corporations earning millions and billions, paying no taxes to this country and trying to steer our election results.”

Hey Alberta: is this incompetence or a full on intentional lie? 9003 Acute Care Spaces is NOWHERE near a record number for our prov In the late 1980s we had 17,790 acute care spaces in hospitals (~12,000 acute care beds, +LTC beds) 1988: 7.4 beds/1000 2026: 1.5 beds/1000 1/2

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

BRAZIL'S LULA: WE NEED TO REGULATE DIGITAL PLATFORMS

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

OBAMA: The big trade war he's starting now is with that well-known evil empire: Canada. These are the people who gave us maple syrup and Martin Short.

Finland is aiming to go carbon neutral in 15 years. They're creating jobs by boosting #renewables and saving trees. Its CO2 emissions have already dropped 21% since 1990s levels. We have the solutions, let's speed it up and implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #vote

Excellent article on Danielle Smith’s deceit and the many failures of the UCP government.

Jeffrey Rath and Mitch Sylvestre were terminated from their roles with the Alberta Prosperity Project "with cause" in September. This is particularly strange, since both men were at the group's referendum watch party and spoke to media on its behalf.

Oh ffs. Can we all agree that any "serious adult" invoking "WOKE" as a cudgel should be shamed and laughed at? It's long past time.

She's now rehabbing her reputation. Don't fall for it. Smith will continue to always put her own self interests first. Be careful what you wish for, Danielle.

Albertans should be furious about this. Danielle Smith: 1) Lowered the threshold for signatures on a petition 2) Extended the duration in which they could be collected 3) Continues to pretend the people who signed the Forever Canada petition wanted a referendum Shameless.

With 92% reporting… Spanky is going to be soooooo angry! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This minister and the timing of his DC visit.... BTW, Municipal Affairs Minister Dan Williams and Environment Minister Grant Hunter refuse to say who paid for their flights to the Republican Prayer Breakfast in February.

Someone owes Albertans $130M for this theatrical waste of taxpayers money

Dear Canadian pundit class, You DO NOT under any circumstances have to give Jason Kenney any credit for his work on the remain side of the referendum. He created this mess by legitimizing the separatists after inviting them into his party and trying to use them to leverage the federal government.

These were never serious people and it's a goddamned shame we wasted so much time and money having to pretend otherwise. Ultimately, it's up to Albertans to make the person responsible for this fiasco pay an electoral price. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Alberta goes to the polls today, to decide whether the province should separate from Canada. The fact that it's even happening is nothing less than psychological warfare, waged by damn liars. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Vote NO to the nine, vote OPTION 1 on question 10. #cdnpoli #abpoli #notothenine #alberta #referendum

The separatists are going to lose today’s vote. But if Alberta’s political class doesn’t stop feeding and inflaming their bottomless sense of grievance and victimhood, we’ll all end up losing in the end. #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/10/19/o...

Go to your camera roll and search “boat” and post one that you like. Oslo, 2018

A Democrat visiting Canada and making his first appointment with Danielle Smith is a really odd choice, which reveals either a startling naivety about Canadian politics or motives for the trip that are not first and foremost about understanding the Canadian perspective.

There has never been an "open borders" policy in this country, and she knows it. She was demanding more immigrants until it became convenient to scapegoat those immigrants for the very failures of her government in housing and healthcare. She's just bald-faced lying for her own political benefit.

That's the sound of goalposts being moved. #abpoli

A-fucking-hem

This Sept. 4 story by @rorywhite deserves reposting. Keith Wilson and Tanya Clemens need to explain their connection to disinfo websites run by a Florida Trump supporter. A US-linked network of fake websites is promoting Alberta separatism to AI chatbots www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/04/i...

Local woman wakes up, awards herself a billion dollar contract to establish multiple recovery facilities in Alberta that turn conservatives into socialists, makes oatmeal.

The PM will be attending @lukaszukab.bsky.social's rallies in Edmonton and Calgary this week, per PMO.

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations... It’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from."

The Forever Canadian Pale Ale wins bronze medal at the Alberta Beer awards!!! Congratulations to the @RedHartBrewing company. Amazing place. Amazing guys. Amazing beer. #ForeverCanadian

Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation is calling out Smith’s claims she had no idea separatists were meeting with the US State Department… While pointing out they raised the alarm on this months ago. With receipts. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Awww, what a shame. globalnews.ca/news/1209127...

Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients. This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act. 1/3

1 Minister + 2 CEOs out of the province on a trip to Sweden on the taxpayer dime... Who's running our HC system while those on the frontlines are drowning? They couldn't have sent ONE of them... to maybe come back with a PowerPoint presentation to update the teams back home?

Danielle Smith knows nothing about those separatist ‘negotiations’ in D.C.? So what good is her ‘Top Secret’ security clearance? albertapolitics.ca/2026/10/dani...

Because he’s calling her bluff and she knows it.

From the DM’s… Allegedly these illegal door hangers are now showing up across Alberta… Without identifying who is distributing them. Sure would be a shame if someone had some doorbell footage… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
