Sometimes I flip to the end of a book, not to spoil it, but to *feel* what kind of emotional damage I'm signing up for. It's like checking the weather before going outside, just emotionally.

LGBTQ+ rights are eroding in Texas under a pressure campaign
Conservative activists argue they’re protecting women and rebalancing the law that Democrats tilted in favor of LGBTQ+ people.

🎯 Yup. Ask Carney if AB's intent to allow MDs to bill the public & private system for health care violates the Canada Health Act &, if he believes it does, what he intends to do about it.
Lastly, if he thinks this is FINE, ask why he thinks that!

Asbestos is a Zero exposure substance, it’s in many communities water pipes.
If your community has AC pipes consider getting an appropriate filter for drinking water (check data sheets).

Spoke to a room of lawyers and judges tonight. Told them: when many Albertans picture the UCP base, they picture you.
They were shocked — most of them oppose the democratic backsliding.
I reminded them: as long as they stay silent, that perception will stick.
All pluralists need to speak out.

"For cardiac testing, Alberta has spent more than $694 million more than expected since the changes in 1998. That’s more than seven times what the DynaLife fiasco cost us."
That $694 billion is why corporations are so desperate to get in on privatized health care. It's lucrative. #AbLeg

Wear a mask in public indoor spaces and get vaccinated. More clean air in schools would also help, as would insisting healthcare workers wear masks - especially in hospitals.
Those 6 out of 10 could possibly turn Covid into an endemic and maybe a pandemic. Nobody wants anyone to die from covid and nobody wants another lockdown.

The province calls the change an economic opportunity for rural communities, but the move is drawing fire from wildlife advocates who argue the practice isn’t hunting at all.
