Harper, Chairman of the IDU, Now Runs Alberta’s $170-Billion Pension Fund. What Could Go Wrong?
👀" Premier Smith wants to ‘use the retirement savings of 500,000 Albertans to create a political slush fund,’ says AFL’s McGowan.
You have to wonder if that’s the fate of the $170-billion Crown corporation Alberta Investment Management Corp., after the provincial government announced Wednesday that former prime minister Stephen Harper has been named AIMCo’s new chairman."

🤦♀️ Could we PLEASE ELECT some ADULT politicians!!! (I know that's an oxymoron)
"Government spending in limbo as Conservatives, Liberals continue game of chicken in House"
"OTTAWA -
"The federal government is asking Parliament for approval to spend billions of dollars, but the ongoing stalemate in the House of Commons could prevent the Liberals from getting the green light."
I LOVE this so much. Maori MPs in the New Zealand parliament protest attempts by the centre-right government and far-right "ACT" coalition partners to pass legislation that water down treaty rights of Maori.
New Zealand is one of the only places (the only?) in the British Empire where the Crown signed a treaty with all Indigenous peoples at the time of contact. It has shaped NZ Law and Society ever since!
Thank you to @b9AcE for the video.

The recent provincial election in BC confirmed that being an awful human being is no longer disqualifying in modern politics. For evidence, see: #BrentChapman
@pluralistic lays out a solid tactical plan which, while ostensibly written about countering #Project2025, could be adapted with few alterations into a battle-plan for countering the rise of right-wing politics in Canada:
Hey, folks from what was once called Twitter! My fedi tip is: follow hashtags. You can search for hashtags of interest and then follow them just like you can follow any account. Your timeline will fill up quickly if you do that, and then you can start to follow interesting people in the timeline.
For example, some of the hashtags I follow include #blackmastodon, #mutualaid, and #canpoli, among others.
I've found that I can get news just as fast here as folks on #X.

In Spain, the Valencian regional government, a coalition of the right-wing People’s Party and "ultras” Vox took power in the regional and many municipal governments last year.
Soon after, like the #Project2025 proposal to defund/privatize the NOAA and FEMA, the Valencian government eliminated the UVAE - an emergency response unit to deal with fire and flooding disasters in the region. (mundiario.com/articulo/politic…)
This weekend, after the catastrophic flooding killed over 200 and counting with billions in damage to infrastructure and business and people's lives, there are massive protests in #Valencia demanding the resignation of the government.
What will you do to prevent Trump and MAGA Republicans from endangering you? And Canadians? You can bet this is in Poillievre, Smith, Rustad, Moe, and Ford’s playbook as well.
Will you orgainize and respond before, or after, disaster strikes?
These rightwing neo-liberal and fascist forces, and the centrists who coddle them, don't care about you. They only care about redirecting the public purse from public service to their own personal and commercial interests.
What will you do to prevent that from happening?

¿Por qué el Gobierno de Mazón eliminó la Unidad Valenciana de Emergencias?
El PP y Vox suprimieron el organismo, creado por el expresidente Ximo Puig, poco después de llegar a la Generalitat de la Comunidad Valenciana tras las elecciones autonómicas.Andrés Tudares (MUNDIARIO)
CCLA [Canadian Civil Liberties Association] Condemns Government of Ontario's
Proposal to Imprison the Innocent
"Ontario’s proposal to eliminate bail in all cases for certain offences is a direct attack on due process and a violation of the #Charter.
A charge is not a conviction. This proposal would send innocent people to jail for years for crimes they did not commit.
To be clear: #Ontario is proposing that a person with no criminal record facing a weak case should now be sent directly to jail until a trial takes place – a process that could take up to three years.
As the recent acquittal of Umar Zameer on murder charges made clear, even a serious charge can rest on flimsy evidence and result in an acquittal.
It is also deeply concerning that #Police associations have publicly endorsed the government’s call for the suspension of Charter rights for people in #Canada
Canada has passed the Pharmacare Act.
Provinces and territories need to act quick to secure free contraceptives and diabetes medications before a federal election is called, say advocates. @michelle_gamage reports. #bcpoli #canpoli

Federal government:
"Hi provinces! Our winters can be harsh and we have many homeless living on the streets so here we are giving you financial help to house these people so they won't die out in the cold."
Conservative premiers in Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan:
"What? Can't hear you! Besides, it we can't risk taking money from the feds and making them look good. WE MUST OWN THE LIBS! We will NOT concern ourselves with people dying in the snow! "
Conservative Premiers call local police and RCMP:
"Just make sure the bodies don't clutter up the doorways or sidewalks in front of businesses! Move them out of town!"
