“Look, I have no credibility or expertise on any of these issues, but what if I subtly imply any kind of public health reporting is a result of a conspiracy involving big pharma…”

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

#Canada has lost its #measles elimination status.

This was wholly preventable.

If the #Alberta government had been more vocal on the importance of #immunization, & had proactively targeted geographic & ideological groups with low rates of #MMR we would not be here.

A #abucp candidate in #Alberta is suing an independent journalist for reporting on her racist messages.

My question is what wealthy donors are backing her lawsuit? Can any other journalists look into this?

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Caller - Healthcare is collapsing and privatization doesn't solve anything, what are you going to do?

Smith - Well, healthcare was struggling when there were experts involved, so we've gotten rid of them and feel pretty confident.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.

A father called in to ask why his disabled son was getting the $200 clawed back.

Smith's response?

The reason for that subsidy is we lobbied the feds to cost share! Sides, we don't want disabled people moving to Alberta to take advantage of us!

Today is National Indigenous Veterans Day.
This day honours the contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Metis who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.
They fought for Canada despite being denied rights by the country.
This is the story of some of those veterans.
