Here it is @Chigaze...
Longtime Edmonton Alberta NDP MLA is resigning his provincial seat | The Albertan
Hey, are you an Alberta NDP member?
You should consider attending NDP Convention on May 2 to 4th in Edmonton at the Convention Centre.
It's a great time, especially if you're a policy nerd like me.
If you want to help shape the direction of the party as we face Danielle Smith, you should be there.
Also, I might need your support for something.
If only Danielle Smith was as committed to working with the rest of Canada as she is to working with the U.S. and Trump.
Ken Boessenkool, former advisor to Stephen Harper, and former economic policy advisor for Ralph Klein on Danielle Smith’s defection.
When a prominent Conservative says this crosses into asking for foreign interference, we need to stop and ask serious questions. This is bigger than partisanship. It’s about trust and who speaks for Alberta. A thread: #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli

From @thebreakdown:
Wherein Alberta premier Danielle Smith says that she attempted to influence the US administration to hold off on tariffs to give Pierre Poilievre the best chance at winning the upcoming election...
Because he'll align Canada with Trump the most.

The Lt. Gov of AB needs to hear this. It's a direct admission of asking a foreign leader to exert pressure onto Canada to change an election.
This is treason.

@ginnoi In a bit of a news roundup:
“Amazing: of all the books in all the world Mr Free Speech Zuckerberg wants to ban, it’s the one about him”, by Marina Hyde, discusses a new book titled “Careless People”, by Sarah Wynn-Williams. Wynn-Williams’ book goes on to detail some of the operations of the infamous American Oligarch Mark Zuckerberg.
Also, TechCrunch’s Natasha Lomas, reminds us all that for Facebook users: You are the product. In “Meta settles UK ‘right to object to ad-tracking’ lawsuit by agreeing not to track plaintiff”, the article discusses Tanya O’Carroll’s success in denying Meta the ability to use her data for targeted advertising.
However, of concern “…she thinks the company will now likely shift to a ‘pay or consent’ model in the U.K. — which is the legal basis it moved to in the EU last year. That requires users to either consent to tracking and profiling or pay Meta to access ad-free versions of its services.”
Netizens are surely well aware of the idea that Meta users are the product. And, these legal challenges are very important to define the culture and significance of user privacy. But, with current events in mind of how Zuckerberg, Musk, and others cater to the extreme right of the US political spectrum, people have to draw the connection that their social media engagement is being twisted into something beyond their original intentions.
Vote with your feet.

Who do you trust more? An economist and expert in intergovernmental relations and global economics who is respected around the world or a washed-up radio host with ties back to Russia (her real name is Marlaina Kolodnicki) who has (allegedly) squandered away hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to her closest friends?
I'm no Liberal, but I know my answer.
In response to the government's Statement of Defense, former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos has filed a response letter.
These are bombshell allegations and, if proven in court, ought to take down this completely corrupt provincial government.
This is an alleged scandal so heinous that there is no precedent in Canada.

In 1995, Quebec voters voted to STAY in Canada...and they fucking HATED the Rest of Canada (ROC).

Every single point raised is about fossil fuels.
Does she not realize there are #farmers in #Alberta? There is #engineering which does not involve petroleum? There is manufacturing of products which are not based on plastic?
Does she realize she is supposed to #lobby for #Albertans, who pay her, and not the #OilIndustry, who are legally not allowed to pay her?
Does she realize she just declared war on #Canada and its trade negotiations with the USA?
