My latest in @edmontonjournal.com . The Journal of the American Medical Association recently advised Long COVID in kids may have now surpassed asthma as the leading paediatric chronic illness.
Danielle Smith's response: start charging for and limiting vaccines.

Opinion: UCP's COVID vaccine cuts put children at serious risk
A policy of ending pediatric COVID vaccination will disable, hospitalize and even kill Albertan children, leaving blood on Smith’s hands.

This is a very interesting article proposing that we revitalize a Canadian Civilian Defence Corps, akin to volunteer, community-driven programs for emergency / disaster preparedness during WWII and the Cold War. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Opinion: Canadians want to be able to defend Canada. Our government should provide a way
The rise of patriotism in this country should be channeled into a volunteer response program, similar to the one Canada had during the Cold War

I'm often asked: What motivates Danielle Smith to do the radical things she does?
After all, many of her actions fly in the face of public opinion, the constitution, conservative ideology, and her own public commitments.
I used to equivocate.
I'm about ready to call it.🧵

I invite you to consider donating to sustain Alberta's first crowd-funded pro-choice billboard ad on Highway 2 and send the message that statistically, the majority of Albertans support reproductive freedom and choice: abforabortion.ca
It costs $35 per day to keep the ad running. #abpoli #firstpost

The politics of threat have become part of the playbook of the right in North America. The Conservatives call it "free speech."
Democracy cannot survive if we allow troll mobs to threaten violence against those who step up to serve the public.

David Staples: Did all Danielle Smith's good work in 2024 go up in a puff of chemtrails?
As noted, Smith's year has been marked by pushback in numerous areas of trans, drug, and law-and-order policies.
