👋Some news
I’m running for Mark Carney's Liberals in Calgary-Confederation.
I live here, work here, raise my kids here. I want to offer representation that understands the economy and the public interest and be an Alberta voice standing up for Canada at a challenging time. 🧵(1/X)

American democrats could learn a thing or two from Mark Carney about going out there and telling people what they’re doing to save whatever’s left of their democracy.
That’s what we did in just nine days.
Let’s keep building, together.

And Albertans can do their part.
They can call, as we have, for a full public inquiry, and for an immediate reconvening of the Legislature.

Just occurred to me that Trump wants America to go back to the 1890s, but Benjamin Button-style
He wants territory, but he doesn't get they wanted that to secure the economic dominance the US already has
He wants a big navy, but he doesn't get that was built to protect trade he wants to destroy

The Health Sciences Association of Alberta is calling for an investigation following The Globe's story on allegations of political interference and private surgical contracts at Alberta Health Services.
“This isn’t just mismanagement—it’s a scandal," Mike Parker, HSAA's president, said.

Had a dream last night where it turned out that Canada had spent too much time planning for the US to invade, and not enough time planning for what happened if the US just collapsed.
In case you're wondering how I'm sleeping.

I do not need the Dems to tell us how bad things are. We already read the news. I need them tell us *what they plan to do about it*

You know what today is. Go easy on yourself. There's nothing of value there and you don't have to watch any of it. I'll try too.
🧵 In the face of, well, y'know, EVERYTHING my resolution for 2025 is to carve out a little Beauty for myself each day & I figure why not share them with friends new & old on #Bluesky? Feel free to add your own. Maybe it gets added to this list of personal #MentalHealth adaptations. Be well
I don't really #TouchGrass but I do bike myself over to one of the many sets of outdoor stairs like this one built into the side of #ScotsmansHill, sit at a bench at the top and take in a view of the city. Semi daily. I often befriend a doggo or two. And eat an orange. #MentalHealth #yyc

I guess we'll get to test the idea whether laws are real in any sense now. Trump is going to go after these people anyway, so I doubt the pardons will help.
Breaking News: President Biden issued pre-emptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, Liz Cheney and others, a bid to guard against Trump reprisals hours before leaving office.
Biden Issues Pre-Emptive Pardons to Guard Against Trump’s Reprisals
President Biden, hours before leaving office, used his executive clemency power to protect people targeted for reprisals by his successor, including Mark A. Milley, Anthony S. Fauci and Liz Cheney.
