Fellow Albertans, pharmacists and AHS staff are trying their best to find reasons to not charge you for the covid shot. Anxiety, depression and high bp all count as reasons to not charge you.

What's at the root of the UCP's use of the notwithstanding clause?
Our @partyloyalty.bsky.social research suggests hyperpartisanship is playing a huge role.
The locker room mentality in the UCP caucus is encouraging MLAs to cede even more power to the premier's office.
That's bad for democracy.
