Canada has lost its measles elimination status today. Undoubtedly, part of this is because of misinformation.
But it does not explain the whole story here, and simply attributing this public heath failure to misinformation absolves those in power of their contributing role.

Today, The New York Times has published a story eviscerating Danielle Smith and her provincial government's response to the measles crisis in Alberta.
Interestingly, Deena Hinshaw is interviewed for what appears to be the first time since she was fired.

There is no evidence to support that federal research funding is being unfairly allocated to "woke" or "leftist" research.
If anything, as @pinglamjoeip.bsky.social and I found, research on structural inequality is underfunded.
I will link our original piece below.

Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.
But not impossible.
Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

🧵The House of Commons Standing Committee on Science and Research passed a motion requiring the Tri-Council to release confidential data.
Some members claim research funding is being unfairly allocated to "DEI" or "woke" research
But last year @pinglamjoeip.bsky.social and I debunked this.

An update for folks on this,
I spent the morning sending this data to the Standing Committee on Science and Research.
Regardless of if you feel the data should or should not be released, it is vitally important these debates are rooted in facts and not myths.

🧵The Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Science and Research has put forward a motion to release ALL data in relation to federal research funding applications.
This motion was put forward by conservative MPs who are skeptical of funding being allocated "fairly."

FYI, this will end up outing by name, many transgender folk who are not Out, and many LGBTQ folk who are not out.
And many other people who have lived experience with mental illness and other disabilities who are not “out” all given to some unknown unnamed non-employee, non MP. #cdnpoli

Pretty clear the UCP strategy here is to keep nurses from going back to school by pricing them out of it. This ensures they don’t leave the workforce.
In reality, this will make the nursing educator shortage worse as well as patient outcomes.

Exceptional tuition increase proposals at the University of Alberta have started to drop.
A potential 80% TUITION INCREASE in nursing for 2026.
Cheers to the UCP for making education accessible and affordable.

Today the Government of Alberta announced the end of remote/hybrid work, ordering all government employees back to the office five days a week beginning in February.
We wrote about why this is a mistake, and how it will disproportionately harm women.

As back-to-school season approaches, Canadian employers are making a mistake by mandating workers back to the office
Remote-work flexibility has supported workplace equity helped limit outbreaks of respiratory infections. Back-to-offices mandates could erase those gains, especially with lowered vaccination rates.
