Mickey Amery has responded to Elections Alberta's Friday letter that said it wouldn't be possible to pull off an election with new boundaries in the time allotted... By basically saying "You'll do what we want and you'll like it". #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Cat's out of the bag! The mystery candidate for Cypress-Medicine Hat is none other than ER Doc Dr Paul Parks! (@PfParks) And we've got the first official interview with him since declaring his candidacy tonight at 7 PM! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

On Oct 19 Albertans voted NO on provinces opting out of federal programs. 57% (CBC). NINE DAYS LATER CBC reports the government WILL PRESS AHEAD With its plan to opt out of the federal dental and drug programs anyway. They've done this before. #RESIGNSMITH #DISMANTLETHEUCP 🧵

Oh, look! Is Abigail Schimke, the UCP’s Central Alberta Director, the same Abby Schimke who works in Administration at Lighthouse Christian Academy — the very school that was just awarded $4 million by the Government of Alberta? 🤔

Jesus fed 5,000. Chocyk couldn't find 500. Naomi Chocyk stood in a rainbow parklet in Vancouver holding a sign that said no to Pride. Then she asked voters to send her to Victoria on a OneBC ticket. They answered with 386 votes. Last place by a wide margin. We're still here. 🌈

Photo from Reddit. White nationalists just outside the BC Legislature this morning after a BC Cons supermajority. This group is Loyalist Pioneers, a white nationalist organization virtually identical to Second Sons. They've been active around Victoria for about a year & a half.

Getting some nice nocturnal lightning in Calgary right now at 2am! ⛈️ While it is raining right now, I’d expect a switch over to snow before morning, but I doubt anything will stick around enough to affect tomorrow morning’s commute. #abstorm #yyc

I'm on transit along 52nd Street SE and it looks like all the traffic for Deerfoot has diverted itself to 52nd. What a shit show :( @calgarytransit . If you want to get anywhere fast maybe avoid the 148, 147 and the 23 routes lol

There is a major accident on Deerfoot so I assumed that's why traffic is the way it is on these routes

I'm not sure which is funnier: being called a train-station whore or the bot malfunctioning and posting it in Russian

Is this a result of homeschooling or is this based on the new math that Trump uses? I just can't with these people. Maybe had they checked a non hallucinating AI first they could have figured this out LOL. #ForeverCanadian
