The RCMP are now investigating, though I’m not particularly optimistic that there will be any real accountability. What stands out is that Elections Alberta’s press release—at least from what I can tell—doesn’t mention the source of the complaint at all. By contrast, the RCMP have been quite direct in identifying the ANDP as the complainant. What it means, I don’t know. Possibly nothing—I just found it interesting 🤔 #ABPoli #CDNPoli https://thecanadian.social/@Luchador/116495655597639413

The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts. History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization. It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price. #cdnpoli #airports #NDP

RE: https://flipboard.com/@cbcnews/british-columbia-i8sdok9nz/-/a-QSWoo3ZoTz6Vo59T7Sfq5g%3Aa%3A107108217-%2F0 "Should BC require every internet user's privacy to be invaded?" would be a more accurate headline here, CBC. And if they implement it, the next article will be "In an attempt to regulate social media and AI for youth, the BC Government broke the internet for many citizens, but not youth, who easily worked around the ban with VMs and VPNs." @OpenMediaOrg@mastodon.social this is a stinker here @cbcnews@flipboard.com #BCPoli #BC #CDNPoli #Canada #AgeVerification

The next headline, then: "Government continues to fail to regulate companies that profit by harming youth." due to @pinhman@humanwords.party #CDNPoli #Canada #BillC22 #privacy #SocialMedia

Imagine if it were a jailable offense to smoke as a minor, instead of being illegal to sell a minor a pack of cigarettes! @pinhman@humanwords.party #CDNPoli #privacy #regulation #BCPoli

"Today, Prime Minister Carney outlined this new $6 billion nationwide effort to recruit, train, and hire 80,000 to 100,000 new Red Seal trades workers in the next five years." Not necessarily a bad thing, but was funding ever really the problem? It's just subsidizing the continued exploitation of precariously employed apprentices. Who's going to take on these apprentices? Is it going to be in safe ratios when employer want free hands that are covered by the government? https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2026/04/29/prime-minister-carney-announces-team-canada-strong-nationwide-plan #cdnpoli

A great interview with @sundogplanets@mastodon.social here: https://thenarwhal.ca/space-junk-falling-50th-parallel/ - very good reporting! everything that’s in low Earth orbit, which is most of the satellites — including all of the 10,000-plus Starlink satellites — at the end of their life, they get burned up in Earth’s atmosphere, because it’s convenient. And so far, it looks like Starlink is actually doing a pretty good job of burning up. Funny, but painfully so. And, for scale: There was a period of time, about six months, where Starlink burned up 500 satellites. That’s around three per day. In that time period, they exceeded the natural infall rate from meteorites by at least twice as much — so, adding at least twice as much aluminium as what naturally comes into the atmosphere every day for six months And it mentions Fedi's favourite Senator @Paulatics@mstdn.ca and the inquiry she launched https://sencanada.ca/en/senators/simons-paula/interventions/689271/37 Thanks for this great reporting, @thenarwhal@mstdn.ca ! #space #spaceJunk #spaceX #satellites #CDNPoli

"Kevin O’Leary’s massive data centre and gas plant planned in northwestern Alberta .. gas-fired power plant will generate roughly the amount of energy used by eight million households in a year, or 15 cities the size of Calgary, setting the province back about 20 years in its emissions reduction efforts.. Alberta regulator dismissed the nearby Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation’s (SLCN) appeal of a water licence for a six-million-cubic-metre annual withdrawal .. Municipality of Greenview, which so far has spent $70 million on making the area attractive for data centre developers, submitted the water license application.. Alberta’s system is “deliberately bifurcated such that First Nations need to go to court to challenge.. In 2025, Greenview’s council, along with three other nearby counties, declared an agricultural disaster due to drought #abpoli #cdnpoli https://www.theenergymix.com/earths-largest-ai-data-centre-in-alberta-just-got-bigger/

Today is Earth Day, but each year it can feel a little more like Groundhog Day. While we replay the same pipeline debates in Canada, the rest of the world is racing ahead on renewable energy — which is growing so fast that it met all new electricity demand in 2025. It’s time for Canada to catch up. Let's make Canada a renewable energy superpower. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/solar-wind-ember-renewables-electricity-9.7170953 #cdnpoli #EarthDay

Unfortunately we ARE going back to this, in Alberta. The whole point of book banning is to reduce exposure to diversity, especially to the most easily influenced. Who do you think benefits from that? Exposure to diverse views and experiences allows children to develop empathy, shielding them from control through reactionary hate speech, divisive politics, and disinformation. #abpoli #cdnpoli #books #censorship #Hate #HateSpeech #diversity #dei #inclusion

go tell Mark Carney, CBC.

The future of electricity is wind and solar, new report says. Canada is lagging behind
