Social determinants of health 101. Right at the top of these determinants is…..POVERTY! #ableg #ahs #povertyinAlberta
All of this!
Huh. I wonder if working on improving poverty would drop crime rates? Addiction rates? Domestic violence? Educational outcomes?

This got my attention!
The rumours of some moderate CPC members considering crossing the aisle are true. My sources are reliable. They want to separate their brand from Poilievre.

Watch this space.

Ironically, the people who disagree with this are likely part of online echo chambers.
PM Carney: "Our society today is becoming ever more disconnected. Our public square is fragmented by online echo chambers, where truth and fiction can be hard to tell apart, and where contrasting ideas tend to polarize, not persuade."

Take note, Alberta. It will be the same here.
⚡️ The data centers powering the AI boom suck up so much energy, so fast, it's increasingly jacking up prices for nearby ordinary residents.

This dynamic — surging demand and finite supply — creates a headache for President Trump.

IMO
Smith wants to replace the RCMP for a police force she can control
Not just to have her own jackboot thugs
But also because she sees herself as above the law

It's hard not to draw comparisons between Smith and Trump here

7/7 As the government wraps its #AlbertaNext engagement sessions, the public's message is clear.

Albertans remain satisfied with the RCMP, and the opposition to replacing them is only growing.

Wait, I’m agreeing with Jason Kenney? Never thought that day would come.
Kenney preparing to run for CPC leader by pointing out he doesn’t support what’s happening in the US.
No doubt where he’s getting his orders from
WTF? Poilievre is so desperate he’s copying Trump verbatim now? Raging about DEI, deportations, ending birthright citizenship, jailing political opponents, and now our cities are war zones? Does he think sane Canadians want American insanity? We don’t want MAGA here! Can’t wait for today’s OShow 🤬🇨🇦

In which the Premier's right-hand man blames both immigrants and the federal government for the strains and stresses in the education system his government is supposed to run.

Hey, remember the "Alberta is Calling" campaign? The one that brought many thousands of people to Alberta? I sure do.

Alberta is ground zero in the fight against MAGA tyrants. Standing with the teachers, students and families who are the front line of resistance.

The UCP quietly released the 3rd party report into CorruptCare on Friday afternoon, hoping it would get buried in news around the ATA strike and municipal elections.

Here's a reminder: Judge Wyant was given very narrow scope. The scandal involves wider political interference beyond policies.

Does this mean Smith can't run?

Because I gotta tell you, Smith, who blamed the US for chemtrails in Alberta
& who only works for her donors
& does NOT represent her community -

Is NOT a serious person and should NOT be on the ballot

#ableg #abpoli
"Government house leader Joseph Schow says the changes will ensure only those who, in his words, 'truly care and are serious about representing a community' will be put on the ballot."

Gradually, then suddenly. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

The UCP is introducing legislation to ensure that only "serious" people are allowed to run in elections.

Whatever could go wrong with a government putting up barriers for people who want to run against them?

Wow!

The UCP has just announced they will be introducing legislation to restrict who can run for office!

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Accountability is dying
Looks like the UCP is going ahead with their "Jordan Peterson" law...

Because people shouldn't be reported to their professional colleges for comments made unrelated to their work.

(Peterson's comments were determined to be related but whatevs)
