Worth noting, if Smith does invoke the notwithstanding clause at this point it becomes an admission that this legislation violates Charter Rights. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Holy cow! Danielle Smith’s anti trans legislation has been dealt a major blow with an injunction preventing it from coming into force until the court challenge by Skipping Stone is adjudicated! Best Friday news in a long time! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
The only thing I’m going to say about the NHL verdict is this. Spend some time reading all the tweets of women’s reactions to it. That should tell you everything you need to know if you don’t already.
The Jasper report has 9 key themes and 23 recommendations. But Danielle Smith has taken issue with one of those themes, claiming the town of Jasper owes her an apology. But again, the Streisand effect strikes and Dani has trouble truthing! Let’s take a look! /1
I mean… If we’re doing things that might deserve apologies… Allegedly the premiers chief of staff tried to fire me from my role as a paramedic for the work I do with @TheBreakdownAB. An apology for that would be nice. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
We’re out in the River Valley searching for 14-year-old Samuel Bird. If you have any information please contact the police immediately. I’m on the ground with my colleague @DShepYEG doing everything we can to help. Share this post to help spread the word.
Fentanyl exposure. It’s not a thing. Stop trying to make it a thing.
What’s a widely held medical belief that’s actually a myth?

As a matter of fact. My name is Nate Pike and on some days I am an independent journalist. And I’m damn proud of the work that @TheBreakdownAB does. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The fact that the UCP is more concerned with protecting religious texts than protecting kids from abuse and isolation is absolutely breathtaking. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Danielle Smith claimed on June 24th, 2025 that she hadn’t seen Sam Mraiche of MHCare in “over a year”. Strap in for a special Stampede Sneak a peak of “Danielle Smith can’t truth on demand!” /1
A question I get is, what is my day job? I am the VP of Operations for SOLE & ReCORK, which is headquartered in Calgary. SOLE creates footwear and insoles using sustainable materials like recycled wine corks we collect through ReCORK. #YuleLoveWard3 #YuleLoveFlashbackFriday #yyc
I’ve posted this post and this poem every year for the last few years. Being able to post it from The Breakdown? Joy. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Happy Canada Day everyone. Let's make sure the next chapter is the right one. And a special thank you to poet Rebecca Thomas for coming on our newest episode to share this! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #CanadaDay
I’ve done almost 500 shows with The Breakdown. This episode was an absolute gift for me, and for me it is a love letter to what Canada can be. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Today, as shovels hit the ground in the South, for a #GreenLineYYC my Ward 3 will never see in our lifetime, I ask you to read my op ed again. Currently we have no plan for the overloaded buses in the North, and we need to take action! #yyc #YuleLoveWard3 livewirecalgary.com/2025/03/09/op-…
I am horrified daily how Alberta’s premier will constantly weigh into “culture war” issues that are absolutely divisive and incendiary… And just lie. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Today Smith continued the gross mischaraterization of her book ban. She claims that books recommended for 18+ were included in the governments examples. None of the books cited were rated 18+. Most were 14+. /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed
Anytime @MattJonesYYC wants to sit down for a good faith chat, I’m game. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Survived the week that was.. AHS report will be out this evening, before @TheBreakdownAB breaks twitter with their updates... Oh and if @MattJonesYYC thinks that his PR tours of AB Hospitals will change anything.. Stop talking to the folks who hide in their offices, and talk with…
This was an absolute blast. I really appreciated the invite as a non-NDP member and for the record I would be happy to moderate a UCP panel as well. Just not in Lougheed. Good faith conversations only with this guy. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Thank you everyone who attended the Health Care Town Hall in Airdrie last night!! It was a wonderful event and even had conservatives tell me after that it was great and they enjoyed it!! Special thank you to our speakers MLA’s @luanne_metz & @shoffmanAB, Michelle Bates from…
As the world waits to see what the US is going to do with the escalating crisis in the Middle East. Has anyone checked Signal?
From the sworn affidavit by the former AHS CEO… One of the peculiar inclusions in the affidavit is the inclusion of corporate records for two companies… Melewka Homes Ltd and Melewka Construction Management Services Ltd. /1 #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
