My primary engagement on Twitter has been around political issues. For now, and perhaps for good, Twitter has sunk below the level where it feels meaningful in any way. At best it's a placebo - the illusion of doing something. Maybe it always has been. #cdnpoli #onpoli 1/5

A friend is in crisis over a very sick dog and started a #gofundme. I do know them personally and money isn't the real issue. I'll cover what's needed. But moral support also helps. So if anyone wanted to kick in just a few dollars it would be welcome.

I won't say I'm done with Twitter. Never say never. But if anyone wonders where I've gone, I'm not looking for the next great thing. I'm going back to the last great things - actual organizations that do good work in my community. I'll be doing more of that. #cdnpoli #onpoli 4/5

For anyone still interested in my advice, there are so many great organizations out there, starved for volunteers and participants at every level. Climb out of the Twitter dumpster and into the light. You'll be happier for it, and more useful to society too. #cdnpoli #onpoli 5/5

Turns out the Government of Canada managed to screw itself with the Phoenix pay system in one more, unexpected way. It's hard to deter striking employees with the cost of being on strike when the government can't actually figure out how to stop paying them. Just saying. #cdnpoli

I paid for Twitter a couple of months so I could record longer videos. I don't care if people believe I am who I say I am. Look me up. Now that Musk has turned the blue checkmark into a referendum on him personally, I can't wait for my billing cycle to end and lose it.

I'm about as pro-union as it gets. But it isn't "union busting" to allow existing employees to continue working and get paid while a strike is ongoing. If a union can't convince people to strike, that's their problem, not the employer's. #cdnpoli

When Smith and the #UCP talk about how people should be "accountable" for their cancer, their heart attacks, etc. it's not a mistake. Their philosophy is that misfortune should be individual, not shared. "Accountability" is code for "you're on your own." #abpoli #cdnpoli 1/3

Meanwhile, liberal philosophy is not only that misfortune is shared rather than individual, but success and affluence are not solely individual but are owed, at least in part, to the society that enables that success. Which is why it comes with obligations. #abpoli #cdnpoli 2/3

Radical individualism is not only mean-spirited and ugly but illogical and willfully blind. No one gets rich without a society to support and protect that wealth. Taxes aren't charity - they simply acknowledge our dependence on one another. And rightfully so. #abpoli #cdnpoli 3/3

It's one thing to lie. It's another to be a serial liar. But the biggest blunder of all, is the lie that insults the voter. Nobody is vacant enough to believe the conversation was booked because she wanted to chat with a party leader-a party led by a pastor without a prayer.

Here's the transcript from Premier Danielle Smith's radio show this morning, where she says her call with Artur Pawlowski was intended as her talking to another political party leader, and that he changed the subject on her. #yeg #Yyc #ableg

I don't care who our Prime Minister is. It's ridiculous and embarrassing we can't provide our PM with a decent residence. Maybe the endless nickle-and-dime stories about the cost of having a government have something to do with this. #cdnpoli

If hygienists expect patients who haven't had dental care in years, or ever, that proves the program is working and desperately needed. I don't care how Singh and Trudeau want to jockey over who gets the most credit. This is a win for Canada. #cdnpoli

So deleting the video deletes the problem? Do you want to be taken seriously as a party worthy of government? You don't care whether a #UCP candidate is a lying bigoted kook - as long as they don't confess all of that in a video? Lesson learned. Thank you Alberta Nutbar Party.

Doing my job, I see victims and families struggling with loss and harms they've suffered. It's unreasonable to hope they'll take a wide view on root causes and social issues. This grieving mother's grace and charity is beyond words. #topoli #cdnpoli

Senator Brazeau is an inspiration, and a great example of what an independent Senate can be. Appointed by Harper almost fifteen years ago but so clearly his own man. No elected politician could have evolved as he has and stayed in office through it. Congratulations. #cdnpoli

Today, I’m proudly celebrating 3 yrs of being sober. That’s 1095 days and over 1.5 million minutes.
After years of health challenges, I am excited to finally say, I’m healthy! Anything is possible in life. #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #FirstNations Bill #S254 #alcohol 🙏🪶
