Just a 🇨🇦 gal who has the gall to believe in empathy, kindness, and resisting intolerance. Also, I really love books 📚❤️
I don’t love this timeline but here we are….preorder your flu & COVID vaccines if you live in Alberta 💉
Cost 💰
Flu - Not clear if there will be a cost for folks considered low risk. May still be covered by AHC.
COVID - Most folks will have to pay. How much? We aren’t sure yet.

Alberta Health (or Primary Care?) has opened their vaccine pre-order window for covid19 and flu shots. You have until the end of September (6 weeks) to do this.

Most Albertans, including healthcare workers, will now have to pay to get a COVID vaccine.
Danielle Smith promised Albertans would never have to pay out of pocket for the medical treatment they need. She lied.
Such a cruel, dangerous, anti-science, anti-public health decision.
Make it make sense.

Incredibly powerful.
So many First Nations from all across Alberta gathered today at the legislature with one clear message for the UCP: respect our treaties.
No one here wants your separatist agenda, Premier.
Kill Bill 54.
And as one chief said today, if you don't like it here, you can leave.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

I’m Canadian so maybe I’m not supposed to comment. But this is impressive and instills in me great hope that we can Redeem the Dream all over the world.
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
