A great movie from the 1960s, but one that eliminated the 150 Canadians who played a critical role in the escape. Instead, Americans were made the central characters and heroes.

And why are we losing the war for vaccination? Conservative provincial governments responsible for education & healthcare pandering to anti-vaxxers, underfunding local healthcare, and allowing uninformed, non-medical "personal objections" and religions to overrride public health demands. #cdnpoli

An immediate public inquiry needs to be held Danielle Smith and the UCP were not cleared in the last report by retired judge Wyant. In fact he states there is a need for a full public inquiry in his report!

The resolution book is out for the upcoming UCP convention — and even after it has become abundantly clear that the VAST majority of Albertans oppose the idea, the UCP base is still pushing to pull our province out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP).

What blatant "obfuscation" that is, Premier! Alberta's medical system has suffered primarily from staffing issues (that's operational!) and lack of Gov't acceptance of proposed solutions. Your "mother knows best" attitude is full of hot air, or perhaps something even more - fragrant. #ABpoli #ABleg

They just freaking destroyed healthcare, paramedics, disability, lab services, budgeting (kids Tylenol, coal contracts, private labs, border patrol🤯) and now education.

Like me, many Albertans are caught in the middle between those who defend and oppose the government at all costs.
Fortunately, Peter Lougheed provided us with guidelines for how to approach these issues.

Alberta, watch what America is doing right now - with their refusal to support funding of the Affordable Care Act.
If Danielle Smith has her way with the medical system, we, too, will be facing $1000s in monthly premiums just to visit doctors.
She wants it that way.
