In Nov 2024, BlueSky became my primary platform. Still have my @ziadfazel on Xitter because of my history of threads there.

Thanks for following me (back) here again.

Photo summer 2024 at Stamps game with my friend @booshmeister. Life is good.
#Movember broom starting to come along, making me look 10 different ethnicities*, depending on day, angle and lighting.

Since Darren's death, I've been self-medicating heavily with Simple Minds + New Order music videos, especially live or extended remixes.

Darren was the Voice Between the Signal and the Noise.

Things Divorced Dads can do that Married Dads cannot #443:

Retrieve your daughter’s dusty outgrown bike from condo underground parking (where seat was stolen 😡) and wash it in the bathtub.

P.S. I’ll be replacing tub & tile with new tub surround enclosure soon, as I am renovating room-by-room.

That citation to the inherent sexism in mask & respirator supply was in tweet 25 on 30 Dec 2022, in one of my monster (late-night) threads that keep me on twitter, partly for reference, partly because that's where some informed debate still happens.

Two of sweetest, most nourishing Canadian peas in a pod, we are. Hopefully flourishing soon at a stadium near you.

I want to see @cfl.ca 🇨🇦 football game in every stadium before I punt my dented aluminium bucket into the cable cam.

To do that with my shutdown goalie client Boosh would be a joy.

And during Sat game, I thought often of my dear friend @booshmeister.bsky.social who joined me for game at McMahon last season in highlight of difficult 2024 for me, where that N Ontario boy and this Calgary boy joined in our love for U of C Dino grads Tyson + Jalen Philpot igniting our 😍 @cfl.ca

They're not as veritas as my globally-anticipated Truth Social posts, but these tweets between @stadnek.bsky.social and me about my client @booshmeister.bsky.social are still 100% accurate.

In fact, I may have violated the commercial secrecy from the Exclusive Agency Contract.

Read the ALT text.

It is possible my friend, and fluently bilingual elite goaltender @booshmeister.bsky.social would have some interest in this Team Canada Xitter announcement. I don't believe they have an account here.

After all, he did secretly teach MAF everything he knows.*

* No he didn't. I am a lying agent.

For my dear friend, and favourite shutdown goaltender client @booshmeister.bsky.social, a snippet from my snark in the chirpy place he left.

Professor Fluker is currently with Richard Harrison at Wilson Laycraft on @natepike.bsky.social @thebreakdownab.bsky.social defence from $6m defamation suit by MHCare Medical & Sam Mraiche. Per 14 Feb transcript, he was one of 3 lawyers who spent nearly 16 hours each overnight on one affidavit.
March 13, 2025 at 12:20 AM
Hi. I think the author disclosure for Professor Fluker needs an update. There is no mention in this article critical of the UCP, or in his author bio on @ablawg.bsky.social, that he is now with Wilson Laycraft Barristers & Solicitors... where Tyler Shandro returned.

I also contemptuously addressed Health Min LaGrange's clumsily veiled threat that people (eg. repeating AHS's own admission the MHCare customized Atabay meds clogged neonatal ICU gastric feeding tubes) would be sued for slander.

"Who is going to sue me for slander, Minister?"
March 10, 2025 at 12:17 AM
🧵 On Saturday night at 6.10pm, the formerly apolitical AHS twitter began a coordinated propaganda campaign on the $80m MHCare Medical/Atabay boondoggle. Quoted by:
• 6.35 pm Min LaGrange (of AHS)
• 6.55pm Rob Anderson (of LaG)*
• 7.43 pm Premier Smith (of LaG)

* to which I contemptuously responded.

Also here 4 days ago, I disagreed with Don Braid's insinuation the Auditor General is partisan because he "owed his contract to the UCP majority."

2 days ago, the _non-partisan_ Auditor General's FAQ was updated to show he was appointed in 2018, before UCP.

Some people are mistakenly saying Auditor General of Alberta cannot compel documents or testimony.

See www.oag.ab.ca/about/faqs/

A person cannot even refuse to provide testimony or records because it might incriminate them or lead to penalties.

Every iteration I've seen of the Alberta Health "refocus" has org chart has the Procurement Secretariat under AB Health, supplying all the "pillars".

Used to be able to easily find this org chart all over Alberta.ca, but now have to refocus onto Reddit captures.

Timeline:
• Oct 2022: Danielle Smith becomes Premier; Jitendra Prasad returns as Chief Program Officer, CPSM
• Dec 2022: Smith announces $80m purchase of Atabay meds through secret middleman MHCare Medical
• Feb 2023: Prasad changes to "Special Advisor"

In March 2023, I downloaded a PDF of his LinkedIn profile. It shows he retired in April 2022, then un-retired in Oct 2022.

Coincidentally, Danielle Smith became Premier in Oct 2022.

I disagree with Don Braid's insinuation about the Auditor General. To me, he is trying to chill people from reporting.

The OAG is not one guy - it is an organization governed by tight laws, and proven checks & balances.

Keep records of what you send/tell the OAG.

Current scope of OAG's examination is only AB Health & AHS: chartered (for-profit) surgical facilities, acetaminophen and ibuprofen meds (MHCare Medical) and PPE.

I want audits of all rapid test purchases, and the purchases of masks by Education, and those laundered 😉through Municipal Affairs.

On that note, the Senate of Canada tweeted today a congratulatory photo of the undergraduate pages sworn in today.

All of the men got prime positions in the centre of the photo, while most of the women were pushed out to the sides, or largely hidden in back rows.

Thanks. I wasn't familiar with the name, but then figured out who you are referring to. Wishing the best for them and all the families of the children represented by this lawsuit.

Thanks Charles. I noticed the Lifeworks report was signed, but GoA redacted it "to protect privacy" without citing any relevant FOIP section. I agree the authors were not named, and AFAIK not in any press conference or technical briefing.
