1/ CBC & @antihateca released some excellent reporting on a neo-Nazi gathering in Vancouver on July 26. This thread covers more local context & organizing. To start, here is one very interesting Facebook friendship between Exiles of the Golden Age's Lane Pommer & @AaronGunn.

Albertans are siding with teachers...the notwithstanding clause is not very popular in this case... and there is some support for a general strike, according to new poll from Leger. This could explain why the government is so concerned about recalls. Thoughts? #ableg #cdnpoli

The CFIA's final ostrich count was 314. So solidly within their 300-330 estimate. Not 398/400 like the farm claimed for months. Today's full statement is here: inspection.canada.ca/en/animal-heal…

Matt Jeneroux was one of 2 CPC MPs rumoured to be considering crossing the floor along w/ Chris d'Entremont But instead of leaving Pierre's fascist CPC, he resigned from Parliament altogether. GUARANTEED he did so because the party of "freedom" threatened him Fuckin MAGA thugs!

Breaking: Sounds like the ostrich farm is now being blocked off by police. Anyone who leaves may not get back in.


Not crossing the floor, but this is still a blow to Pierre Poilievre's party and his poor leadership.

Another crack developing in the Conservative. Something is very wrong. Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux resigns, second to leave caucus this week - The Globe and Mail apple.news/APbQOimHCSIuHN…



This will just mean for the time being that the first of three confidence votes won't bring down the government. Hopefully Carney's budget will ultimately pass.

Davies says his caucus can't support the Conservative amendment but is still deciding how to vote on the Bloc amendment and the budget itself #cdnpoli ipolitics.ca/2025/11/06/ndp…

Today, @ndpkyle and I proudly introduced the 'No More Skyboxes' Bill. Bill 202 ensures that the honour and privilege of public office remain focused on serving Albertans rather than serving their friends and insiders. Learn more about it: youtu.be/t8SZFC2pwPM
