If you read anything today, check out what the DOJ released then quickly deleted documenting allegations of Trump’s statutory rape & his presence during the murder & disposal of her newborn baby in Lake Michigan. #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

I hope that the Premier reconsiders her desire to invoke the “notwithstanding clause” in dealing with Teachers.
This very rarely used clause, stripping Canadians of civil rights, has no place in collective bargaining.
General strike would be a commensurate response.

I don't know how you report on voter turnout without mentioning the people who couldn't wait for hours in line & left without voting. I don't get CBC local reporting sometimes. #yegvote cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/…

Ballots are now being moved to the expo centre to continue the counting at 9 o’clock.
How is this making for a more secure election?
The ballots you marked have been sitting in rooms since counting stopped at 1 AM.
Then will be loaded up in trucks. This is democracy in Alberta.
Others hitting up the @chicagomarathon expo— do NOT buy the @MaurtenOfficial “marathon pack”. It’s the same price as the marathon pack online, but with 3 fewer gels & half the hydration. What a ripoff! Now I have to go buy competitor gels to have enough for my race!
fun fact — @porterairlines' economy fare makes you get to the airport early TO PRINT YOUR BOARDING PASS. it's more effort for everyone but more punishment! airlines should just call it "the humiliation fare."

also the old man in front of me hasn't plugged his headphones into his computer, so he's listening to boomer YT political vids for the entire back of the plane. YAY!!! #conspiracytheories #truthsocial #portersucks

Over a year ago, a woman approached me with a story about her five-year relationship with Regina police Sgt. Robert Semenchuck.
Her case has exposed a disturbing misuse of police power and resources targeting dozens of women.
Please read, please share.

Looking forward to how @globeandmail and @CBCNews will spin this one as Albertans being eternally myopic, self-absorbed whiners about Confederation. But what about @LukaszukAB's smarts?

this is a pretty bonkers stance to take considering
I spoke with Canada’s Head of Mission in Ramallah earlier today. I can confirm 4 of our personnel were part of the delegation in West Bank when the IDF fired shots in their vicinity. Relieved to know our team is safe.
I have asked my officials to summon Israel’s Ambassador to convey Canada’s serious concerns. We expect a full investigation and accountability.
Actually, shame on @globeandmail for running this headline. The argument is wrong ("asking for a wild night" ≠ giving consent) and it just makes you look ugly.

This is called extortion and you would go to prison for it, but he gets neutral headlines. Pathetic.
this matters. political leaders should take media questions. #cdnpoli
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Pierre Poilievre team attempts to muzzle journalists at campaign stops
Only 4 questions per event allowed, ZERO follow up, journalist asking question chosen in advance by Pierre Poilievre team. No media allowed to travel with Pierre. No media allowed to speak to attendees at events. Sometimes camera/video people physically touched. The Conservatives Party campaign is successfully undermining freedom of the press and voter awareness unfortunately. It’s an old playbook (former Conservative Opposition Leader Stockwell Day in 2000 attempted similar actions in Parliament Hill Media Scrums)
