RE: https://mstdn.ca/@Paulatics/116444287287689324This story just gets darker and weirder. AI slopaganda combined with foreign interference and good old fashioned greed. Are Dutch YouTube influencers sabotaging Alberta politics and Canadian unity just for lols and cash? Or are they themselves being manipulated by someone with a malicious political agenda? #cdnpoli #Canada #Alberta #separatism #abpoli

A delegation of First Nations leaders from British Columbia have come to Calgary to relay a message to pipeline executives face-to-face — steer clear of investing in a new bitumen pipeline to the northwest coast or risk a prolonged legal fight.https://www.timescolonist.com/the-mix/coastal-bc-first-nation-leaders-go-to-calgary-to-dissuade-pipeline-investors-12180320#Canada #CDNPoli #BCPoli #ABPoli #FirstNations #BritishColumbia #Calgary #Alberta #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #NoPipelines

Can trees cool #Calgary ? Summer 2025 data from 193 neighborhoods reveals a tipping point: 0.34 NDVI. Below 0.34: Isolated trees in "concrete jungles" provide ~0 cooling ROI. Above 0.34: Cooling "clicks in" & efficiency jumps.Stats: Vegetation explains 40% of heat; 60% is locked in asphalt & design. Where we can't plant, we must use high-albedo materials.Validated by Davies test.

@crispius It will just take a year more, so they will live in 1951!

Finally some local news that isn't #UCP madness. https://wheelfront.com/this-alberta-startup-sells-no-tech-tractors-for-half-price/#alberta

@virtuous_sloth Then I wonder what the UCP will pull out of their ass next, their contempt for democracy has been on full display for a while now and I doubt they'll stop if they're told "no."

the best expert is the one who has just left their field.That way, they are informed and up to date, without pressure at work or politically to present in a particular light. You may have noticed this pattern: a soft spoken internal person becomes much more incisively vocal after moving on!Patrick Lennox, a former criminal intelligence manager for the RCMP’s federal policing program in Alberta ... said that while academic researchers are not going to draw a straight line to U.S. financiers or MAGA influencers, “any common-sense reading of that report would understand it to be for an influence job.” ...”there is very clearly an American-led attempt to normalize and amplify the idea of Alberta becoming the 51st state of the U.S. annexation. And the co-ordination effort is so obvious.”https://thetyee.ca/News/2026/04/21/Dishonest-Online-Campaign-Support-Alberta-Separatism/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=grassroots#CDNPoli #ABPoli #Alberta #Canada

@ChigazeThose of us who suffer from seasonal affective disorder (winter blues) are going to have a hard go of winter when morning sunlight comes so late in the day.I'm going to make noise. Make noise with me and tell your MLA why this sucks (decreased safety for kids going to school in dark mornings is a real measurable reality for example).#ABPoli

"Recognizing that we maintain agency fuels hope, and maintaining hope reminds us that we have agency.Resilience comes down to a few core factors: leaning into community, being kind to yourself, finding small routines to support your mental health, allowing yourself to feel sadness and loss and yet maintain hope at the same time. It requires a commitment to taking productive action."https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/opinion/tragic-optimism.htmlBehind a paywall?

@datum Carherine had the oilmen attack her with a "Climate Barbie" disinformation campaign that the conservatives operated. The petro fascist campaign included ample threats and blatant sexism against the minister. Conservative values are fascist values.

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@JEmphatically/116426991448848981Would YOU be comfortable drinking just one teaspoon of pipeline fluid? How about four?That's how much was in this SINGLE SPILL, per Canadian.That's 2/3 cup of pipeline fluid per Albertan. Imagine slugging that back!#CDNPoli #Canada #fossilFuels #Alberta #ABPoli
