... and this is why the oil and gas industry needs such huge subsidies and tax breaks and to not be required to clean up their messes, boys and girls.
“Rather than reinvesting those profits in the Canadian economy, the four companies paid out $79.7 billion in dividends and share buybacks, nearly ¾ of which went to foreign shareholders, including 62% to American shareholders.”

Truth served to the conservative party in power in Alberta. Shame on them to see students spilling out of their schools to march to the legislature on behalf of their teachers.
I'm calling it
There will definitely be a teachers strike because the UCP aren't negotiating
They just pushing lies and propaganda
When the UCP would rather spend millions on ads attacking teachers rather than putting that money towards education, they are the problem

NSAIDs (which many pregnant women will now take instead of Tylenol) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack & stroke. Pregnancy-associated SCAD is also a leading cause of heart attacks during pregnancy & postpartum. NSAIDs increase SCAD risk. I am concerned.

To be clear, there are no data that provide a link between short-term use of Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. In fact, one of the best prospective studies w/ sibling controls, if anything, pointed to a protective effect for use less than 7 days

Has anyone else in Alberta or Canada been getting a lot (2-4x/day) of unwanted ?spam calls from the US in past few weeks? I don’t answer & they don’t leave messages. I block them all but they keep coming. It is getting very annoying. I can’t help wonder if it is related to the Alberta 51 campaign.

It amazes me how many people have no idea about the size of their so-called reorganization and what it has cost us with zero dollars going to the front lines.

The Alberta Government is framing their abdication of public health measures as fiscal responsibility.
It is far cheaper to give someone a vaccine than to keep them on a ventilator.
Denying vaccines is one of the most most financially reckless things a government can do.
