The Skip Is Chris Bluesky pictures-I-took thread starts now.

Alberta skies cannot be beat. Go wide or go home.
Good evening. I'll get right to it.

You all need to be fucking mad as hell right now.

Because what Danielle Smith’s government is threatening to do in Alberta isn’t a negotiation tactic. It’s a constitutional crisis in the making.

I’m angry. And I’m disappointed. As a parent. As an Albertan. This government has made it crystal clear that our kids’ education is not a priority.

Someone should gently remind her this isn’t a Corus call-in show anymore. She’s the Premier now. You can’t just say things and hope no one checks the math. #ableg
“I think it’s because it doesn’t work particularly well, if you want the truth,” Smith said.”

In addition to being Metis, Cherokee, public health expert, oncologist and more, Danielle Smith also moonlights as a virologist and immunologist.

Can someone just check that Minister LaGrange understands her mandate is “Preventative” not “Preventing” Health Services?

In all seriousness, these are backwards decisions all but guaranteed to not only hurt people, but cost us far more than they “save” in healthcare. #ableg

So…

Remember how the Globe & Mail reported that the man in charge of the $80 million children’s medication procurement had an MhCare email address while working for AHS?

His name was Jitendra Prasad btw.

There’s potentially a LOT more to it.

Airdrie Mayor Peter Brown, without council's knowledge, and without the knowledge or consent of Airdrie citizens, pursued a private hospital using city resources in concert with a big developer, Qualico, and with the premier's advisor Rob Anderson, who is unelected. There should be a public inquiry.

"To accommodate these students, administration said the school’s library, music room and wellness centre will all be converted into classroom space."

This is why teachers voted to strike.

And why we should all support them.
