FYI for AB friends looking to get covid vaccinated in BC. Called the booking line this morning. Per their website, out of province was opening up Nov 24th. They told me still only for BC residents and to try calling back in December.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.

But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.

They are still worth getting.

Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

If the UCP is confident on the medical merits of its transgender bill, then we should hear from the CMOH on this ASAP to validate the urgency of using the notwithstanding clause, it's why you have a top doctor after all.

Tomorrow, the Auditor General will release his report into the UCP's Dynalife fiasco.

They're hoping to flood the zone this week with citizenship markers and anti-trans legislation.

Keep your focus on the targets.
And the broader pattern.

The UCP is shifting Alberta away from liberal democracy.
Keeping up with the UCP government's democratic transgressions can be difficult.

But not impossible.

Here’s a running list since Danielle Smith became premier. 🧵👇

I think the hubris of Premier Smith is showing. The general entitlement. She will continue to blame the recall movement on unions (it’s not) and seems surprised Albertans are speaking up against limiting the Rights of multiple groups. She truly thinks her base is the majority. It is not.

Could not agree more.
I knew that this day was coming. The UCP had been warning for months that they were going to take away the rights of transgender people (not just children but adults too). I thought I was prepared. But I am still very angry that it has happened.

To recap…

Demetrios incorrectly told people he would be authenticating signatures & can’t sign book bans properly…

Tanya Fir couldn’t hang up a phone WITH HELP & called a constituent a “motherfucker”

And they think that calling their competence into question is unfair?

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

The UCP caucus are not hapless cronies.

MLAs are not jumping ship because they are ALL enriching themselves, friends, and donors. This is by design. It's on purpose. And they are laughing at Albertans every single day.
