The probability of another pandemic in our children's lives (likely a flu pandemic, this time) is 100%.
📽️ WATCH: After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, which led to 18 million hens being killed and a spike in egg prices, the Department of Agriculture didn’t investigate whether the virus was airborne.

But ProPublica did.

Clean water should be our children's birthright.
Corb Lund's "no coal on the eastern slopes" initiative petition has gone live with a web page to register your interest.
He's going to have to re-file now that Bill 14 has entered into force and quashed his original filing but he'll be looking for canvassers once it is re-accepted.

Got something to say to Premier Smith & the #UCP (MAGA) crew?

Here's the link to email Smith: takes but a moment.

Smith is a separatist. There's no doubt about that now. She is, therefore, unfit to lead. #ableg #abpoli #ableg #cndpoli

I've been in this waiting room twice this last year. There is not seating for even 50 people waiting. It is a miserable place to wait. Purgatory would be better.
CONDOLANCES to my colleagues and the patients in the Edmonton Area.

They seem to be breaking overcrowding records everyday in Edmonton.

Last night the RAH ED had over 100 (ONE HUNDRED!) pts waiting in its waiting room.

Just try to imagine that...

A lady(35) is being released from custody into treatment next week. She has nothing, and I'm trying to find size 7 shoes and clothes for 5'2" and of medium build. She has no family, no friends. She ran away at 13 to flee sexual abuse, and well, you can just piece together what happened after that.

Canada has a stake calling out Pete Hegseth's murder on the seas.
In June 1918 the hospital ship Llandovery Castle was sunk. The U boat murdered survivors in the water including 14 Canadian nurses.
Canada never forgot or forgave.
We have prosecuted war crimes ever since. Sucks to be you Pete.

Freezing hands and feets after a Dolly led winter walk around Borden park and the old race track/ back of Edmonton expo centre, but probably still warmer than some of the cold, cold hearts at the UCP convention inside.

So wild to me that monumental advances in fundamental biomedical research are happening at the same time as a farcical, lethal hatred of science is taking over our public health systems
GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

We need to close the skies over Ukraine!
🇺🇳🇺🇦 The number of civilians killed by Russia in Ukraine in the first 10 months of this year is four times higher than in the whole of last year, - UN.

548 people have died in Ukraine since the beginning of the year. Another 3.5 thousand were injured.

There are multiple examples in this world where becoming a small isolated economy leads to economic misfortune. Fair warning to all those thinking an independent Alberta will enrich the populace. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The pro-Smith Twitter bots are in lock step. They are promoting the message that two-tier doesn't mean people will pay to see a doctor.

The truth is that it will be the start of a drastic degradation of the public system that will virtually guarantee that most Albertans will be forced to pay.
‼️ Danielle Smith's two-tier health care plan will be the end of universal public health care in Alberta, and the beginning of the end in Canada.

Today I’m introducing Motion 504: a cap on auto insurance rate increases, tying them to the consumer price index instead of letting it skyrocket out of control. We call on the UCP government to come to their senses and support this motion. #abpoli #ableg @albertandp.ca @naheednenshi.bsky.social

All citizens are created equal... until they're not.
Glad to see UCP MLA and Minister of Red Tape Reduction, Dale Nally, checking voter records and making unsubstantiated claims about the people behind these petitions to discredit the democratic recall process our UCP created.

That's the UCP way!

One of the best and most straightforward political answers, I have ever seen!
Tough question from Vassy Kapelos to Ebba Busch (Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden) and she comes back with a phenomenal answer.

She did not mince words when she said “Threat from a so called friend”
