The results are striking. Denmark now has the lowest bullying rates in Europe and is consistently ranked among the happiest countries in the world. Empathy education clearly proves that emotional intelligence is not a soft extra, but a core pillar of a healthy and well-functioning society.

France followed 28 million adults for four years.

The verdict is in: no increased death risk for the vaccinated—in fact, mortality dropped.

Just two days after our petition's release over 10,000 Canadians have already called on Prime Minister Carney to enforce the Canada Health Act and stop Danielle Smith's disastrous two-tier healthcare plan.

The UCP government have been in power for SIX years.

Now, ask yourself:

⬇️ Is your healthcare better?
⬇️ Is your cost of living lower?
⬇️ Is your rent or mortgage more affordable?
⬇️ Is our education system stronger?

What, honestly, is better now than it was six years ago?

This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.

She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."

We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.
Smith doubled down on her anti court rhetoric today...

She even seemed to suggest that federally appointed judges couldn't render impartial rulings and that she believed her interpretation should always be above theirs.

That’s it? I thought it was a lot more. Guess Mickey Amery needs to step up his game. Can’t have Albertans thinking they can challenge us for any little government intervention.

I tallied the number of court cases or legal challenges Alberta’s government has recently stepped in to block or pre-empt. Was surprised how long the exercise took - they’re at like a one-per-week clip:

BREAKING!!!

The day after the UCP attempted to stop the courts from issuing a ruling...

The courts have ruled.

And they not only rule the question is unconstitutional, but that separation requires the consent of First Nations period!

Nothing indicates future corruption like passing a law to give yourself immunity from your actions under the guise of "official duties"
#ableg #abpoli
Another change proposed in the bill is to give Alberta’s justice minister immunity from sanctions from the Law Society of Alberta, which regulates lawyers, for any actions they perform as part of their “official duties” — a term not defined in the legislature.

So Alberta's latest proposed law would:

👉 Take power over citizen-led referendums from the chief electoral officer & give it to cabinet.

👉 Ban new political parties from using certain words in their names, including: 'conservative,' 'democratic,' 'liberal,' 'Republican,' and 'wild rose.'

Alberta's UCP Convention is a depressingly stupid spectacle; it is equally pathetic how RW media has gleefully pumped their hillbilly stupidity across the nation, and is astounding just how many illiterate, history denying/revising nitwits there are in the fold. Mud dumb stupid and SO PROUD OF IT.

National public health “leadership” (hi RFK Jr 🙄) keeps poisoning public health with lies.

Vaccines prevent needless childhood deaths.

No baby in America should be dying of whooping cough — not when we have safe, effective vaccines literally ready to go.
