People are not machines. When 30,000+ hours of monthly overtime is the plan, it causes moral injury. Why do we let our essential health workers endure these conditions? This is not sustainable and puts all Albertans at risk. #ABleg #ABpoli

I've been saying this a lot... but hoping it might land with govt leads at some point: we currently have no cooridinated prov workforce plan.

Overtime costs more, and risks burning out our workforce...

Unfortunately has been my experience in so many different social and subculture circles.

“Oh, that dude was inappropriate to your young friend? But he’s so fun to party with…”

Lots of people show their true colours when allegations emerge about someone they know personally or somehow benefit from.
Aside from whatever is in these files about trump I think we’re going to get a crash course in just how grim men truly are across the board. From the rarified air of academia, through to the muck of politics, at every level dudes were ok with Jeff the predator as long as they were getting theirs.
In 2023, Chomsky told WSJ about his relationship with Epstein: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”

"The Conservative targets of the recall campaigns shouldn’t whine that petitioners and signers are violating some rule of direct democracy that they have now decided to invent after the fact : they should go out and make a defence of the actions of their government. " from article #ABleg #ABpoli
I didn’t want to say it.

But Colby Cosh wants you to know...

I told you so:

Recall is a perversion of Westminster democracy.

When Canada elected JD Vance’s old buddy to Parliament, you had to know he’d get up to some weird shit.

Conservative MP Jamil Jivani hasn’t disappointed.

Most recently, he sent an invitation to the other MPs on the Hill for his event to “end Liberal racism.”

I got my hands on the invite:

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Huge scoop from Ed, who had several years of financial reports leaked to him. OpenAI has been over-reporting their revenue. The company is even less profitable than we knew.
Exclusive: Based on documents viewed by this newsletter, OpenAI spent over $12.4 billion on inference from 2024 to September 2025. As part of its Microsoft revenue share, it sent $493.8m in 2024/$865.8m Jan-Sep 2025, implying lower revenues than previously reported.

But under the surface, one that’s being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually — spoiler — American as hell.

Iconic of the folks at CAHN at they, with far fewer resources, identified 18 people who were at this neo-Nazi event in B.C. -- while CBC, with more staff and far more resources, unmasked two.

CAHN really are the GOATs at this work.
3/ We got photos of all of them and got to work finding their names. CBC verified our identifications and added two. By bringing in the CBC, we were able to reach a much larger audience to talk about the threat of white nationalism in Canada.
