As we reflect on our Canadian Forces, Army, Air Force, Arctic operations, and others, we've installed a poppy on the post composer. This year, I'm thinking about the four lives lost at Wainwright, and the dozens still fighting for their lives in burn units in Edmonton and Calgary. From my time at AHS, I know they are receiving the best care and love. For the four lost, we remember you. Personally, I remember my grandfather, who was an RCMP sergeant. Though he didn't serve with the Forces, he served at home. For that, I'm proud to carry his name as my middle name. Mastodon Canada will carry the poppy until November 12th. #ableg #abpoli #canpoli #cdnpoli #msdnca

Its great that Albertans voted overwhelmingly to remain in Canada. But disturbing how much the anti-immigrant and antidemocratic punching down has held sway. Q1: decrease immigration: yes 599k vs 424k votes Q2: kick unauthorized immigrants off healthcare, school and other social services: yes 517k vs 387k Q4: charge a fee to non-perm resident use of health & education: yes 439k vs 330k votes Q5: Proof of citizenship to vote: yes 436k vs 255k votes https://results.elections.ab.ca/8400 #ABPoli #CanPoli

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@chad/117459922424080600 As we've learned more, it sounds like a grass fire spread in the blink of an eye because of sudden, powerful winds. My heart is with the CAF members in both Edmonton and Calgary's Burn Units, the dozens still getting care, and their families across our country. If these last 24 hours were to prove anything, we are stronger together. Thanks to support from Manitoba and Saskatchewan, we attended to the mass casualty event at CAF Wainwright as quickly as possible. What troubles me is that, as Edmonton and Calgary hospitals went to Code Orange, they displaced others who also needed care. This is why hospitals aren't supposed to run at 100%, but Dani and Adriana can't seem to figure that out. I'm thankful for all the HCWs in both cities who received these patients, and particularly at Peter Lougheed, where they've had two mass casualties in a week. We don't give these folks enough gratitude, and neither does the UCP. #ableg #abpoli #abhealth #cfbwainwright #canpoli #cdnpoli

My heart goes out to everyone involved in the explosion at CFB Wainwright tonight. Hearing as many as 7 dead, 150 injured. STARS has sent 4 helicopters and AHS has sent three King Airs. I saw a Saskatchewan King Air pariticipating too on ADS-B. I’ve heard conflicting stories, and this one hits pretty close to home in a lot of ways. Keeping everyone in my heart tonight. #yeg #canada #cfbwainwright

Well said. "Much of that influence comes via X, formerly #Twitter, the social media platform that Musk bought outright in 2022. Since stripping away many of the old Twitter's content moderation rules - derided as censorship by Musk and others - the network has become a haven for far-right beliefs and conspiracy theories. In turn, X appears to have shaped #Musk." #ElonMusk#USPol#UKpol#Canpoli

So Elon Musk just let it out of the bag that there are people in the USA including him… which implies, a not-zero number of others in positions of influence… who believe Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Quebec should all separate from Canada. I mean… we’re beyond just one now… he’s essentially saying we should not exist as a country. If every second province “separates” then you quickly become unable to function as a contiguous nation. This is not sovereignty or individiualism. This is a foreign power trying to break its neighbour into swallowable pieces. This shit needs to stop. Oh… and aren’t any Canadians still on Twitter traitors at this point? Or are we still talking about “where the people are”. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/life/sci-tech/2026/10/08/carney-says-canadas-future-up-to-canadians-after-musk-voices-support-for-separatism #Canada #Alberta #Quebec #Saskatchewan #CanPoli #CdnPoli #USA #TheAmericanFascist

This is what we get when we trade with the USA: Their worst, chemically loaded unhealthy shit. We should be investing in growing our own fruit in our own country. This is what you get when food safety laws aren’t strict enough and why increasing food safety and joining the EU would be the best thing Canada could ever do. #canpoli

some pretty bleak numbers here: Canada's wealthiest demographic receives the largest proportion of government assistance.

"It’s not just that they typically have no dependents, live in paid-off homes and carry little debt, though all of that helps. Their well-being is also untethered from Canada’s anemic wage growth. People 55 and older make up less than one-third of the population but, as of 2023, they owned 49 per cent of the country’s real estate by value, 62 per cent of bank deposits, 72 per cent of mutual funds and other investments and 75 per cent of stocks. The value of all those assets has soared."

"Many do not feel rich. They consider themselves middle class, because they own the things middle-class Canadians once took for granted: a home, a car, perhaps a cottage or a boat. But those once-ordinary markers of stability are now available only to a privileged minority."

Here we go! BC Election on October 24! Eby is speaking on #TheAmericanFascist being the main reason. For stability, etc etc. #TradeWar But this is also a cynical and opportunistic power grab timed to take advantage of chaos in the BC Conservative and generally the centre-right and right-wing of BC politics. My main ask for the future government will be to stabilize our democracy with proportional representation. #BCPoli #CanPoli #CdnPoli #Democracy
