Alberta Premier Danielle Smith contacts. I’m sure she’d like our messages asking her to resign.

I appreciate folks following the breadcrumb trail and not trying to jump to conclusions, but I’m not bound by those rules and I think “a media toady nuking a story about American concentration camps” is pretty self-explanatory

Quite apart from the misinterpreted and poorly presented science that will continue to get some of his readers killed or disabled, I’d like to point out another glaring factual error.

People that wear masks did not and do not refuse to enter society. Society refuses to accept mask wearers.
I spoke to the people who continue to shape their lives around avoiding Covid and only breathing ‘clean’ air

‘Refusing to mask during an ongoing pandemic is absolutely violent and it’s undeniably participating in social murder.’

It’s hard not to be disillusioned and deeply disappointed in some people, who were my business hero’s, who have just accepted that what’s happening down south is ok because it’s supposedly good for the economy.

As AB stops notifying us of covid outbreaks, the hospital system is falling apart.
Rural: good chance of an ER open only 8-5, no OR, no/limited OB.
In town: wait times of 6-10 hours
EVERYWHERE: measles, covid, flu, etc.

Looks like the Financial Times is just as confused as the rest of us about why Mark Carney, a former ambassador for climate action in 2015, is throwing the planet under the bus by fast-tracking new fossil fuel projects across Canada.

The UCP has made 2025 one of the darkest years for Alberta’s democracy.

Albertans can turn on the lights in 2026.

By simply being Albertan.

When someone dies of the flu and you say “what pre existing conditions did they have?”….you’re saying the chronically ill are expendable.

When you say “only the sick & elderly die of the flu”… you’re saying they’re expendable.

We are not expendable.

😰 1 in 3 Canadian teens have known gender-based violence

Teen dating violence has ⬆️30% over the past decade.

It's Canada's National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

The solution is ACTION - not just remembrance

This Alberta pediatrician captures something clinicians everywhere feel but rarely articulate this clearly:

Systems fail in patterned ways.
Families absorb the cost.
Governments sell “choice” while walking away from their duties.

Worth your time:
New CHW Perspective:

an Alberta pediatrician describes how structural gaps in care are shaping families' lives, and argues that the province’s new “dual-practice” model risks making things worse.

Alberta isn’t fixing healthcare. It’s abandoning it.

Danielle Smith is "Ungoverning" Alberta...and trying to break the very idea of Canada

Just like Donald Trump is "ungoverning" the US.

If you've noticed similarities between Smith/UCP and Trump/MAGA, there's a reason.

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

Nenshi's UCP-Lite Energy Policies Not Nearly Good Enough

Opposition Leader isn't a hard job:
1) Criticize the @ABDanielleSmith
2) Propose better policies

Naheed Nenshi failed on both counts last week.

The CDC has carefully monitored the VAERS database of reported vaccine reactions. Medical professionals investigate any deaths for causal links.
There are ZERO child deaths causally linked to covid vaccinations. 183 US children died from covid. #vaccineswork

The entire War on Drugs has never been about drugs. It’s always been a cover for racism and exploitation.

Dismantling drug prohibition has never been more urgent or existential for people who don’t use illegal drugs.
Money…

How much he charged for 🇭🇳 former president pardon?

It’s not about drugs.
