I think #markcarney should run in #edmonton Randy has too much baggage anyway and I doubt many people expect it, and it would flip the victim mentality on its head that the poor poor west is not represented #abpoli #canada #cdnpoli

"Today, we’re building a government that meets the moment. Canadians expect action — and that’s what this team will deliver. A smaller, experienced cabinet that moves faster, secures our economy, and protects Canada’s future."
- Mark Carney, newly sworn-in Prime Minister of Canada
Carney's new cabinet is down to 24 from Trudeau's 30 (a diverse cabinet with 50% women), which was already much smaller than Harper's cabinet of 40, which had included infamous names such as Jason Kenney, Tim Uppal, Candice Bergen, Erin O'Toole, and Pierre Poilievre; their definition of "small government".

As great as I think the Social Web/Fediverse is, it's not addictive by design. Either the timelines are set up with easy to understand algorithms based on time or users can adjust with their own settings.
"A motion put forward by the social media giants to have the lawsuit dismissed was denied by the court, which will allow the case to move to trial.#SocialMedia
“It is arguable that an addictive product that interferes with the mental health and educational aspirations of students is a public nuisance that requires a remedy,” wrote Ontario Superior Court Justice Janet Leiper in her decision released Friday.

@aapis Yeah, I'm nearly 50 years old and I first got my Alberta hunter's license including firearms safety course in middle school, which means that could have been as early as 12 years old (predating PAL for adults, when it was FAC instead).
I did look up the current minor's license in Alberta, and the only difference I see is lifting adult supervision, but that's already lifted for the Federal minor's license, which states that minors can use any class of firearms WITHOUT the license as long as they are supervised at 12 years old, meaning they can be unsupervised with the license (see attached pic).

Also a reminder… when you hear workers demanding raises of 30% (!) you’ll usually find a group that hasn’t had a raise in a decade, and our average annual inflation of 2.5% over that period means 30% is only just *barely* getting their heads back above water.
Public school support workers are *still* on strike…
A reminder to Edmontonians that support workers for EPSB are into their 9th week of strike action, stuck on the pickets instead of in schools because the GoA - which pulls the strings from behind the scenes using secret mandate letters - refuses to let the school board negotiate in good faith. Two school trustees have resigned in protest.

The Maple · The UCP Has Kneecapped Alberta Education Workers’ Strike RightsThere’s little on which the UCP and federal Liberals agree, but when it comes to undermining workers, they’re of the same mind.
"Alberta Health Minister Adriana LaGrange wouldn’t recommend all residents get the measles vaccination, despite being asked point blank by CTV News on Thursday. "
Fuck you LaGrange. Call 811 and ask if you should get a booster.

CTVNews · Health experts recommend measles vaccine as Alberta preaches ‘parental choice’A measles outbreak in northern Alberta has health officials reiterating the importance of immunization.
The traitor UCP are using a rape defence strategy of undermining credibility with ad hominem attacks. No surprise.

“Add Another $5.5 Million to the Cost of Smith’s ‘Tylenot’ Folly”, by David Climenhaga, adds $5.5 Million dollars to the Tylenot Boondoggle in storage fees. Apparently the unwanted and worthless pain medication is held in a private warehouse, along with PPE masks from MHCare Medical.

Magazine deadlines being what they are, I filed this in early January. I will post the link when it goes live on April 1st, so all can see it. I know posting photos of dense text like this violates Mastodon etiquette - but for reasons that will become apparent, I wanted to share it as soon as possible - while it was still relevant. #Trump #Ukraine #Putin #quislings #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli #AlbertaViews #Alberta
I doubt it is the city making this policy, rather it is most likely the fascist MAGA UCP made this neonazi policy and attack.
The city wouldn't accept a complaint about the library because prov funding also. The library doesn't seem prepared for handling complaints.

Get off the O&G train already, or: Why can’t Alberta see the writing on the wall?
2015: Global oil prices cratered
2019: UCP elected, begin doubling down on O&G
2020: Oil prices free fall, hit negative territory
2024: Renewables moratorium
2025: US Trade war threatens Canadian O&G exports
If we can’t learn from reality - even when it repeatedly hits us over the head - we’ll end up like Newfoundland after the cod stocks collapsed.
If anyone has a relationship with MTE Logistix in the NW of Edmonton and knows about the GoA Parol or PPe storage, please DM me. Your info will be protected and anonymized.

Climenhaga's latest (Alberta Politics .ca), which discusses the pallets of Tylenot and defective PPE, is a joy to read.
