“This is absolute garbage. The reason this is garbage is because the very central tenet of ethics in medicine is patient autonomy, the ability of a patient to choose what happens to them.”

The whole stupid anti COVID vax thing was based on patient autonomy.

Rats! I just realized my BC box wine is "international blends". That almost certainly means American wine (also Chile). I guess it's Canadian secondary industry. That's something. 🫤 #cdnpoli

While #oilandgas revenue continues to be unaffected by the trade war, Alberta's running dog lacky premier will always counsel a passive response. She advocates doubling down on USA export dependence. Free Trade was negotiated for American energy security. Do more effective adds south of the border.

Because the *provinces* refuse to fund their justice systems properly, and the absolutely nobody will hold them to account for it.

Arshy Mann @arshy.bsky.social · 1d

Great piece from Dale. In my opinion, we're going to jail enormous numbers of innocent people because the feds and the provinces refuse to fix the delays in the justice system.

For the late/west coast crowd, my latest for @cba-nationalmag.bsky.social on why the legal community is panning the bail reform bill, pointing to the loss of the presumption of innocence amidst the rhetoric #cdnlaw #cdnpoli

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

I know people have already said this

But this UCP crap blocking us from getting the covid vax is just another way for Smith & the UCP to crash healthcare

Because that would benefit their donors
With the UCP you always have to follow the money

The UCP are the worst provincial government in the history of Canada

Anyway, if you want a covid vax in fall 2026 or winter 2027 you have to order it now 🤦🏼‍♂️

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..
