I have a personal policy against reblogging go fund me's or things like that unless I know the person posting.

Please do not ask me to reblog your pinned post or donate. Please do not ask me to post your go fund me.

My ask box has become overrun with e-begging (mostly from accounts with 1 post, accounts not following me, etc).

There's often multiple asks from the same account. I will not post these asks; they will be reported as spam (when appropriate), deleted, and repeat offenders blocked.

The committee is considering ways to update the Clean Water Act and Martin says now is the time to legislate “enforceable rights to clean wa

An environmental lawyer called on Tuesday for New Brunswick to be the first Canadian province to enshrine into law the right to clean water, while a forestry executive warned against regulations that would hurt the economy. Richelle Martin, one of three lawyers at East Coast Environmental Law, told nearly a dozen legislators Tuesday the lack of such a law can result in unequal access to the precious resource. “This protection of the right to clean water will recognize the importance of water for human health and well-being,” Martin told a legislature committee in Fredericton that is considering ways to update the Clean Water Act.

Who is behind YouTube videos with millions of views saying parts of Canada should join the U.S.? CBC News’ visual investigations team finds the truth about YouTube channels with names like The Canadian Politician pushing Alberta separatism that a recent report says are full of misleading and false information. We go down the rabbit hole and uncover the web of hired actors and ‘faceless’ creators who live overseas that are publishing this content to make a profit.

idk if i've talked about this before but i just wanna say i love immigrants i was raised by my immigrant grandparents and grew up in an area heavily populated by immigrants. diversity is an integral part of the modern canadian identity. your 'singh horton' jokes are stupid and racist and you're just as much of an immigrant as they are.

The argument lawyers are making: since treaties are between Indigenous people and Canada, a province trying to leave would be ripping up tre

The argument First Nations groups made this week in an Edmonton courthouse wasn’t only aiming to block Alberta separatists’ petition drive toward a referendum, even if that was the specific, narrow goal of an injunction and a related hearing. Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation and other litigants are challenging the very idea that a province can split from Canada, and in doing so sever their constitutionally protected First Nations treaties. Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) is centred in northeast Alberta, but its ancestors followed caribou throughout what’s now Saskatchewan and Northwest Territories — and members today freely cross those boundaries to hunt, fish and trap, lawyer Kevin Hille told the court this week. “Any constraint on those activities by an international border would violate those [rights],” Hille said.

The federal fuel tax pause will apply nationwide for the summer months, providing immediate relief at the pump — but Alberta continues to in

Alberta won’t consider following the federal government in pausing fuel taxes for the summer until after the province’s next scheduled review period begins. Ottawa is set to suspend the federal fuel excise tax next week, as part of a summer affordability measure. “This will remove up to $0.10 per liter on gasoline and $0.04 per liter on diesel fuel,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said, adding Ottawa is also pausing the fuel excise tax on aviation fuels. The suspension is largely due to the ongoing U.S.-Iran war, with movement of shipments along the Strait of Hormuz have mostly been stalled. It will start on April 20 and last until Sept. 7.

Alberta Finance Minister Nate Horner says he supports Ottawa's move but says the province is sticking with its existing fuel tax — at least until July — in part because oil prices are inherently volatile.

He told reporters in the legislature the province is doing what it can.

"If we're going to give [the federal government] their flowers over this, you should also give us some on the fact we don't have a [provincial] sales tax," Horner said.

"They still have GST on fuel. There's more they can do."

If Bill 23 passes, it would be the third time the United Conservative government has substantively amended the Citizen Initiative Act, and t

Newly tabled legislation would create a 12-month blackout period before and after provincial elections for starting or continuing a citizen initiative petition.

If passed, Bill 23, the Justice Statutes Amendment Act, would also repeal deadlines for the government to call a referendum for any future successful policy or constitutional petition.

“Our democracy is better when all Albertans from all walks of life and with diverse voices participate, and as the government, we’ll always ensure that our democracy is one of trust and openness,” Justice Minister Mickey Amery said at a news conference Monday.

White-nose syndrome, a deadly disease that has decimated bat populations across North America in recent years, has been detected in the Rock

A deadly fungus that has decimated bat populations across North America continues to proliferate in Alberta. White-nose syndrome has been detected in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta for the first time, indicating a significant spread of the devastating disease since it was first confirmed to be in the province in 2024. In North America, more than 6.7 million bats have died after being infected since 2006, according to the Center for Biological Diversity. The disease is caused by a fungus that infects the mammals' skin during hibernation. Rather than killing bats directly, the disease forces bats to awaken from hibernation, leading to starvation, dehydration and ultimately death.

Alberta's government is calling on Ottawa to change the Constitution to give provinces more of a say in how federal superior court judges are appointed at the provincial level. Premier Danielle Smith and the premiers of Ontario, Saskatchewan and Quebec wrote a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney last week saying they would like to see only judges who are approved and recommended by their governments be appointed. That request was quickly brushed aside by federal Justice Minister Sean Fraser, and Alberta's government says it now needs to up the ante.

The Alberta government says new legislation would require teachers and school boards to be “neutral” and “impartial” when delivering lessons and crafting a school environment. Bill 25, An Act to Remove Politics and Ideology from Classrooms and Amend the Education Act, will also bar the display of any flags inside or outside schools, other than the flags of Alberta and Canada, with some exemptions to be revealed later. Education and Childcare Minister Demetrios Nicolaides tabled the omnibus education bill in the legislature on Tuesday.

When politicians say "we gotta appeal to the working class" you have to keep in mind that in their imaginations, the working-class person is basically a form of ogre-like creature whose existence consists of backbreaking manual labor and seething with Every Single Bigotry.
