Excellent critique of Alberta’s move to dumb down the provinces students
"Removing these requirements risks leaving students less prepared for the opportunities and responsibilities ahead of them." The ATA's response to the UCP's dumbing down of graduation requirements. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This small strip mall college had $151M in OSAP for its “students”, which is almost as much as a large University like York ($200M) or Western ($197M). And Doug Ford and Nolan Quinn did nothing.
An Ontario career college campus saw its OSAP students jump nearly 6,000% in three years, but it wasn't cut off this spring

Bonkers move. Might help his charter school owner donors. Will undermine young Albertans !
#ableg Fake PhD @demetriosnAB just GUTTED Alberta high school graduation standards for 2028….SLASHING mandatory core credits without even consulting universities or teachers! 🚨 This is a MASSIVE trap for Alberta kids. Here is why this is an absolute DISASTER 🧵👇

“Alberta’s government is considering spending $6 billion to redirect existing natural gas pipelines toward data centres and build a new transmission pipeline to serve them (data centers).” This is the first I’ve heard about taxpayers paying to redirect and build LNG pipelines!!!

Move the ICE money. It turns out the system meltdown had nothing to do with the budget, but still one solution to our aging critical networks is readily available. @CNN

Why are they asking Ukraine to give up their country to Russia instead of demanding Russia give back the Ukrainian territory they stole???

Moral collapse in action. No mention of NK propping up Russia with soldiers. No mention of the cybercrime & extortion that supports this criminal operation masquerading as a government.
Rubio: North Korea is a governed by a guy who is not interested in conquering in Japan. He just wants to survive. I’m not excusing the things that he’s done. I’m just saying. He's not looking to invade Japan or China or whatever

All PM Carney is doing is trying to remove the horrible stifling blocks that prevent investment in Canada Its what we hired him to do
Raj’s analysis is spot on. Climate action is NOT a priority of the federal government. Canada is NOT undertaking policies in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. Climate hushing is the order of the day.

Fred DeLorey on Pierre Poilievre criticizing the PM's international travel: "It's clownish. It's clownish behaviour. The Prime Minister has a job to do. He's got to travel the world and do these things."

Fall guys Air Space Intelligence=start up venture capital backed company Had 165 employees now holds $1 billion in contracts # FAA, Army Air Force! 2023 valued $300 mil. 2026 $$3 bill. Citadel Securities, Spark Capital, Andressen Horowitz Duffy rebuffed all safety concerns
L3Harris has been modernizing the communications infrastructure supporting the National Airspace System in close coordination with the FAA. With safety and reliability as our highest priorities, L3Harris, together with its telco partners and the FAA, has completed more than 70% of the planned airspace communications conversion from legacy copper wires to a fiber optic system. We are supporting the FAA in its investigation to understand the conditions that led to the Nov. 13 ground stop of our nation’s air travel. L3Harris takes the nationwide ground stop and its impact on travelers, airlines and air traffic operations seriously.

You don’t say - Air Space Intelligence, an Al-powered air-traffic software start-up, won a $875 million contract with the Federal Aviation Administration just months after its corporate PAC donated to Alfonso, Sean Duffy’s son in law. share.google/qJ2XURuGCSn05OR…

What’s this? And where is FAA head?
FAA acting CTO Rebecca Guy: "When we started to see the occurrence where our network was having instability, we started to look at what was the cause. We saw two places that were actually pinging our network at a very high rate -- 1,000 connections over every 4 to 5 seconds." (That sure sounds like hacking!)

Russians have no place in civilized sports !
The fact that Sabalenka outright said (not even muttered) "fucking Ukrainian whore" after losing to Svitolina is going largely unnoticed, unlike Svitolina refusing a handshake, as usual. ​It’s always this way with sports fans. Ukrainians are villainized for refusing to shake hands with genocidal aggressors, while those same aggressors get a free pass when they bring their hatred onto the court. WTA doesn't reacts. All is fine and normal in their eyes. 🤷‍♀️

Three calls to 911. No ambulance available. When one part of health care struggles, every part feels it. Watch Dayna's story and see why HSAA wants a permanent seat at the health workforce table. #OurHSAA #LobbyDay2026 #ItTakesATeam vist.ly/5sta6

Duffy is using scare tactics to get money to privatize the system. NOT A COINCIDENCE he did this before Thanksgiving. Page 662 Project 2025 is to privatize the FAA

So let me get this straight. An A.I. startup gave to Sean Duffy’s son in law’s campaign for congress. Then Sean Duffy and the FAA gave that same company a 12 year, $875M contract for their A.I. air traffic control system. That same traffic system went live nationwide Nov. 10. Three days later, the FAA had to ground all flights because the system failed. Ok. Lock em all up.
