obligatory luna photo:
tuxedo cat asleep with her paws all together in the foreground. several pink toe beans are visible. there's a bright pillow and a fuzzy blanket, but the toe beans are really the highlight of this photo.

I'm still concerned about the 12 hour time limit for vote counting, and don't understand its purpose, but I guess if they hire enough counters it's possible
Screenshot from page 66 of Bill 54, Election Statutes Ammendment Act, 2025: (c) by adding the following after subsection (11): (12) The unofficial count of ballots for an election must be completed no later than 12 hours after the close of voting on election day.

Edmonton Paramedics Earlier today it was quietly announced that several members of senior EMS management for both the province and the city of Edmonton were fired. This is the second round of mass senior management terminations with the previous one being in November 2024. Let's be clear, the EMS system in Alberta is currently a disaster. Very little has improved since Danielle Smith promised to fix healthcare in 90 days. Every week, more paramedics are injured or quit the profession. Departments continue to overflow with patients while hospitals burst at the seams with sick and injured Albertans. Ambulances struggle to keep up with an ever increasing volume of 911 calls while our dispatchers triage those calls to decide which emergency gets one of the few remaining ambulances on the road. Healthcare workers, including paramedics, have been pleading for increased funding and resources to expand capacity. We are also asking for a fair contract to attract and retain skilled healthcare workers in this province. Meanwhile, our healthcare system has been shattered like glass under the guise of "reorganizing". Decisions appear to be getting made on the fly and no one understands what direction we are headed. Paramedics don't even know what organization they work for anymore. When we ask our "leaders" (and we use that term loosely, bordering on slander) what is happening, they tell us that they don't know. What we have seen today is yet another contributor to the chaos and instability in our EMS system. Paramedics are suffering everyday trying to provide emergency care to our patients while our requests for assistance are ignored. The government will tell you that everything is fine and things are getting better. This is a lie. The only change that is happening is change to destroy the integrity of a system that is meant to provide care to Albertans during their most vulnerable moments of need. Albertans deserve better. continued on next image... Edmonton paramedics want the public to know that we are angry and frustrated with the current state of affairs. We have no leadership, no organization, no plan, no ambulances, no manpower and no contract. Yet according to the government, our biggest issue is that we have no logo. Our message to the government is to stop this senseless and destructive reorganization of healthcare and actually listen to healthcare workers to properly invest in expanding the heathcare capacity in this province to properly serve Albertans.

this doesn't look good at all
Henry VIII clause Though not referred to in the Bill's summary, and a marked departure from the government's talking points about not diminishing environmental protections, the combined effect of sections 21, 22 and 23 give Cabinet an unconstrained ability to make regulations that not only alter the application of other federal regulations to NIPS, either by amending them or excluding their application altogether, but also to alter the operation of virtually all laws duly passed by Parliament, including outright exemption.

this reply by the same poster (further down the thread) isn't sarcastic at all though, and credits musk more than is deserved, since he is neither particularly intelligent nor an engineer:
I mean he clearly is genuinely intelligent. But he is also hilariously and consistently naive about anything involving how other humans think, and any time he gets outside of engineering problems, suddenly he's out of his depth

there's a little disclaimer that they don't update the national results, but if you search the riding specifically, the new result is there (no idea why they do it this way)
Please note that the results displayed nationally, by province/territory, or by major centre will not be updated with validated results.

it's corruption all the way down with the ucp #SmithScams
The Tyee has confirmed Yager has received at least four sole-sourced contracts totalling nearly $500,000, two from the executive or cabinet, which the premier heads, including a current contract that runs until February. The third contract is from Alberta Energy for "professional services." (Screenshot from article linked in quoted post)
