Looks like we know who is going to be running for the Liberal Party in Lethbridge. Chris Spearman brings a wealth of experience and proven dedication to #yql.

Has anyone out there worked out what Brian Jean's pre-Christmas announcement and ministerial order rescinding ministerial orders and his X declaration actually mean? Is this where two wrongs make a right or is this filed under he doesn't know WTH he's doing?

Despite Premier Smith's confidence earlier today, Trump says tariffs on Canadian imports are coming on Feb 1.
#ableg #cdnpoli
Alberta Premier Smith's meme "Alberta welcomes US tariff reprieve and calls for strategic action". Screen shot from a Canadian Press article. Headline "Canada's a very bad abuser: Tariffs on Canadian imports coming on Feb 1, Trump says". Included is a photo of Trump signing Executive Orders.

On selenium. From the AB govt.
myhealth.alberta.ca/alberta/page...

#yql #abpoli #coal #grassymtn
How does selenium get into my drinking water? There is a very small amount of selenium in water from natural rock weathering and soil erosion. Mining operations often contaminate surface and groundwater with selenium. How does selenium affect my health? Selenium is a nutrient that people need at low levels. But being exposed to high levels can cause health problems. Eating food with high levels of selenium (like grains or vegetables grown in soil with high levels of selenium) for a short time can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Being exposed to high levels of selenium for a long time can cause hair loss, brittle nails, and problems with your brain and nerves. ​

Not sure of the questions, but these were the answers from Middleton-Hope.
"I do not support any disruption by the Provincial Government to impact wages, pensions or benefits."
He also states getting vaxed does not infringe on basic rights.

Seen over on reddit. Seems like the Lethbridge West UCP candidate is busy "promoting democracy".
