I’ll add the Conservatives oppose climate change science, want increased private healthcare and now oppose birthright citizenship (being born in Canada makes you a Canadian citizen - they want to end that). There are more policies that are part of the Conservative platform but these are a few.

On this day in 2003, the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and the Canadian Alliance merged to form the Conservative Party of Canada. The party's first leader was Stephen Harper, who served as Prime Minister from 2006 to 2015.

Two men in business suits shake hands and smile broadly in front of a row of Canadian flags. The man on the left has light brown hair, wears a dark suit with a blue patterned tie, and stands slightly taller. The man on the right has graying hair, wears a darker suit with a light striped tie and a lapel pin, and gestures with his left hand while shaking with his right. The background is a neutral gray wall.

The new data show Alberta, not Ontario as previously understood, has the highest case count of any province, despite having a much smaller population. Ontario publicly reports probable cases.

Alberta government rejected expert advice to report probable measles cases, documents show

New data show at least 450 probable cases were identified in the province, bringing the total to nearly 2,500 since the outbreak began last spring

Of babies infected w/Hepatitis B, 90% develop chronic infection.

Of those, 1 in 4 will DIE.

They lose the ability to get rid of toxins & make important proteins. Their skin yellows, their abdomen swells, they’re uncomfortable. A fate no one deserves.

One we can avoid w/ vaccination.

Is the UCP a separatist party?

Former PC cabinet minister Mark Norris admits there are reasons to think that but instead argues they're a party of "half-wits" given how many mistakes they've made, and how often they have to fix their own legislation.

Thoughts?

I was 17. In university. Suddenly realizing there were people (men) who thought I didn’t deserve to be were I was and they could be my peers. They could be evaluating me. It changed me.

The man who killed them didn’t earn it. Felt entitled to it. Killed them because of it.

I was in first year university when these women were killed in an anti-feminist attack at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Most of the victims were engineering students, along with one employee. This is why I care about representation. I earned it so did they.

I was one of those experts that spoke to a Legislative Committee on this matter in 2020. Kenney is right that he set a high threshold (which Smith lowered). But the argument made for recall was to hold MLAs accountable between elections, not just breaches of ethical behaviour.

Dr Lindsay Tedds @lindsaytedds.bsky.social · 1d

Jason Kenney and his government was advised by experts that, as written, the recall legislation would be used as it currently is. He didnt care because he wanted it used as such against the NDP 🤷🏻‍♀️ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Employer provided a letter that was denied because they didn’t fill in box 85. Box 85 is elective. Employer is cranky about having to reissue T4. Me reminding them of EDIA commitments… for a lousy 15% nonrefundable tax credit a couple hundred
