#UCP-MAGA showed they can't uphold gov's 1st duty -to uphold citizens' human rights.

A gov that erases human rights for political expediency is unfit to govern.

Not just teachers & unions at risk (as if that was ok). UCP will erase ANY right at any time. #UCP #ableg #abpoli #abed #abhealth

"So here I am. Still masking.
And yes, I still hear it:
"Dude, seriously? Still?"
Yup. Still. Because the pandemic didn't end – it just got rebranded. We're still dealing with an airborne, immune-damaging virus that doesn't care if you're over it....
I'm playing the long game."
Yes, absolutely this. "seeing the bigger picture, understanding cumulative risk, and recognizing that preserving function over time is the real win." This is a really great article by a person still masking as a result of Covid. www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

🇨🇦 CRACKS FORM FOR ALBERTA'S UCP 🇨🇦

In a sharp new column, Don Braid argues that "knobs are starting to fall off" the #UCP government.

He details a series of escalating "incidents and irritants" that suggest, halfway through its second term, the government's lustre is fading.

Yo #Alberta. With all your sun, and parking.
South Korea mandates solar PV for every parking lot for 80 cars or more (from end-November), applying it retroactively to existing facilities - about 3,000 lots in total

That's 2 to 3GW of new solar powering millions of homes, zero land needed

Mandatory Installation of Solar Panels in Public Parking Lots to Apply Retroactively to Existing Facilities
Starting at the end of November this year, public parking lots with more than 80 spaces will be required to install solar power generation facilities. ...

My rep gives crash course on how to respond to disingenuous bullshit.

This is an extremely polite way to say you suck at your job.
The media is currently, mostly without skipping a beat, just following the regime's line that somehow Democrats are the ones with the power here.
How to answer a loaded question.

🚨 ALBERTA'S HEALTHCARE IN DIRE CRISIS ALERT 🚨

ER physician Dr. Paul Parks is sounding the alarm.

He's warning the system will be overwhelmed by the coming #Flu / #COVID season.

"It has never been this chaotic," he tells The Tyee. "It has never been this bad."

You know how many NDP MLAs are facing recall threats? Zero. You know why? Because the Alberta NDP does not believe that the Notwithstanding Clause should be used to trample on anyone's rights.

That's the difference.

Alberta teachers, I pledge my solidarity with you. I will be wearing red every day until you get your justice.

*adjusts laundry schedule accordingly*
My guess is the UCP is hoping this decision will butter up the students towards their side.

Imagine if the Alberta government fully funded public education instead of wasting millions on coal shenanigans and tax breaks for oil billionaires. . .

12 Hours in the Smoke
Across the country, wildfire fighters work for weeks at a time in poisonous smoke. The government says they are protected. We tested the air at one fire to find out why they are still dying.

Heh heh heh, tomorrow I have time so if it’s still at large in the wild, I’ll be hiking through some bush. I love that it’s so vague. I hope it takes a while to find to keep the suspense and mystery alive for a while.
