Okay Alberta, another warning. #SpankyMcAllister and #DanielleSmith keep saying the quiet part out loud. They don't like evidence or science - just conspiracy theories. The #UCP is bad for your health. There was a time people would lose their job over abuse or statements like this. #ABleg #ABpoli

No wonder Dani made “Spanky” the executive director of her Southern office.

A buried mention in this article is this affects what will be Bill 9 - which I expect is the UCP invoking S33 to reinforce their attacks on transgender people in Alberta.

The Fraser Institute published a study on the fiscal cost of Canada’s low-carbon economy -- one that (shocker!) found lots of money spent on relatively few jobs.

I fact checked it for them. It didn't go well.

No.

Trump is posting on Truth Social that he's terminating negotiations with Canada over a "fake" ad criticizing tariffs (that was run by Ontario, and which isn't fake.)

It's all theatre. There was never a deal to be gotten. Trump just wants to claim victory. #giftlink www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
But here’s the deal: There’s no deal to be had. Behind the glad-handing and theatrics, Trump doesn’t even know what he wants. He has found his preferred tool in achieving his grandiose goals — ending the drug crisis, eliminating America’s trade deficits, reviving American manufacturing — and it is tariffs. Don’t like those demands? Don’t worry, he has others: A place to send the people he’s deporting, free capital to invest in American manufacturing, or unrivaled access to rare earth minerals. Exactly what Canada is supposed to do to escape tariffs remains murky as ever. We’re not the only ones. Trump’s conspiratorial trade adviser Peter Navarro once promised to sign “90 deals in 90 days.” The administration’s biggest deal has been with China — and it’s a loser. The deal reduces, but doesn’t drop, American tariffs on China in exchange for more critical minerals from Beijing. This is Trump’s version of a win-win: He gets concessions, but gets to keep the tariffs.

In December of 2022, the Govt of Canada offered 96,000 bottles of Australian Tylenol (the real brand) to Alberta.

It wasn’t AHS that refused.

It was the govt, saying that wouldn’t be enough.

How many bottles were actually used in hospitals?

9,000.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

To treat every birth on Canadian soil as a potential fraud is to weaponize paranoia against the innocent.
Conservatives are beginning to frame almost every single social issue as a direct result of mass immigration.

If you haven't read this yet, read it. Understand that this year's municipal elections are an existential fight - figure out who the UCP's allies are and vote against them. Democracy matters.

Just what "problem" are the conservatives purporting to solve here?

If they have a problem with immigration, fine - let's have that conversation. This looks like a solution looking for a problem to solve.
