“It is no exaggeration to say that the passing of Bill 11 through the Alberta legislature is the biggest threat to our single-payer, universal Medicare system that we’ve ever seen. Not just for Albertans, but for all Canadians,” said Chris Gallaway executive director of Friends of Medicare.

Unfortunately, after repeatedly using time allocation motions to limit debate, Bill 11 just passed third reading in the legislature.

My understanding is that such abortions are rare to non-existent, because of the ethical problems involved.
This is an age-old strategy by the anti-abortion movement to establish a beach-head, to launch further restrictions on the right to choose.

UCP AGM is off to a great start
Danielle Smith gets booed at UCP convention after mentioning working with Canada

UCP AGM is off to a great start
No conservative Premier of Alberta has successfully completed a 4-year term since Ralph Klein in 2006.
Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.
This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

1/ Mark Carney has betrayed all of us by making a pipeline pact with Danielle Smith. A real nation-building project would expand the renewable energy of the future while creating thousands of jobs - powerlines not pipelines.

The new Canada-Alberta MOU is a positive step for our energy future.
Meaningful investments in Pathways, clear measures to reduce emissions, and a stronger industrial carbon price give Albertans the certainty we need to move forward. /1

Senior economist w/ @policyalternatives.ca, @marclee.bsky.social, said the whole debate over interprovincial trade is simply political posturing so that provinces and the federal government can seem like they are doing something to respond to Trump’s tariffs. #cdnecon theprovince.com/news/will-ne...
Will new deal between provinces on interprovincial trade actually help Canada's economy?
The agreement is designed to provide mutual recognition for products like clothing, toys and vehicles but doesn't address barriers on food.
