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

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