This is an incredible list of talented people in our healthcare who have been sacked by our premier.

A quick list of HC leaders the Premier has terminated (recall she personally said she'd ensure the firings occurred):
This isn't complete...
But keep in mind that many of these positions have not been filled! Many have un/poorly qualified acting leads (if filled at all)...

This must rank as one of the more hilarious headlines I have seen in a long time.
Nothing like the political media in Ottawa for continually missing the moment as we watch democracy and the rule of law disintegrate on our unguarded border.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Seems a little hypocritical for Steve Bannon to be saying there shouldn’t be a foreign air base in the U.S. when they have military bases EVERYWHERE! Not that I’m a fan of the scheme anyway; living next door and all.
Just saying….
