A few companies have made a great deal of money under the Alberta Recovery Model and there's little to show that they have actually delivered on the outcomes Albertans expect. Are people's health outcomes better off with a two-tier, American-style healthcare? The answer is almost always NO.

Well, it turns out I have #COVID not a cold. After five years of not having ever had COVID, this is a bit of a surprise. My kid brought it home from school.

We took precautions just in case and I still got it so it’s highly contagious.

So just a heads up #Ottawa #Ontario, it’s making the rounds

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

PP will put in life sentences for trafficking and put people in jail until they die. Which of course will target Indigenous people, making PP's response to the question pretty bleak.

I can’t remember when I first started supporting the CCPA as a monthly donor, but it’s been a while — maybe a decade? I’m going to boost my donation because the work they do has never been more important. I’ll be in touch, @policyalternatives.ca.

If you've never donated to the CCPA and you think it's important to know about Canada, please considering sending a few dollars to the Centre. Their work is crucial. It's why we know what we know about childcare, healthare, housing, trade, the economy, etc.

Oh, you aren't organizing? Well, there's your problem. Start there.

Start where?

Literally anywhere. Look at your community and find people doing work and ask to get involved. Or start something yourself. Save a big old local tree or something -- it doesn't matter. Just start somewhere.
