Today, Danielle Smith and the UCP caucus unveiled plans to rig the next election:
A new motion indicates the UCP's plans to manipulate the election maps for the next election in their favour, and without any requirement to consult the public.
This has never been done in Canadian history. /1
The Canada Health Act Services Policy comes into effect today, rightly ensuring that medically necessary services are to be covered under provincial/territorial health insurance plans, whether provided by a physician or a nurse practitioner.

My dad, 85 years old, suffering from the effects of a 2 year struggle with cancer, and chief of surgery at the Chinook Regional Hospital for decades, was moved from an already overcrowded space to an “overcapacity room” while he recovers from a stomach bleed and pneumonia. This is the room. 🧵🧵🧵
The UCP in Alberta have quietly announced a ban on covid vaccination for most kids under 12, please report on this and do anything you can to stop it.
They have revised to a two phase rollout, neither of which make kids without severe medical eligible for vaccination.

as mentioned before, I will inform Albertans of acute care COVID outbreaks, which are no longer being publicly reported.
up 50% from my last report 6 d ago.
Now 6 outbreaks, 2 at the Mis (up 1), ongoing outbreaks at the Rockyview, Royal Alex, and Leduc, and additional unit reported at the Sturgeon.
The government has declined an interview request with preventative health Min. LaGrange. Since this story was published, her office acknowledged receipt of CP's questions, but no responses yet, including about the possibility of health care workers having to pay for their own COVID shot.
"CBC News has submitted a number of requests for interviews with Joffe since Alberta's outbreaks began. On multiple occasions, CBC has been told he's unavailable and, in some cases, we did not receive a response from Alberta Health."

www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti... I read the affidavits on the injunction yesterday. I am no lawyer, but the evidence looks pretty flimsy. I mean I also receive hateful phone calls, emails, and mean tweets, but have not hired security. And no evidence that Nate is urging that type of behaviour.
Political dissension getting suppressed in Alberta.
Getting a little dangerous to be an opponent of this gov't.
Feels wrong, for a liberal democracy.
Que pasa?

Almost 20 years ago, a doctor on TV was asked, "Isn't 12 a little early for a kid to be deciding to transition?" And her response was, "It's old enough for them to decide that it's not worth living anymore if they can't."
That was the only argument I ever needed to hear about gender affirming care.
'Finally fellow Albertans, stand up for Canada. Without it, Alberta does not exist.'
“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

So many healthcare closures in Alberta means suboptimal care for many of us. Healthcare has gone so far off the rails- desperately needs to be steered back in the right direction! #ableg #abhealth
Read the whole thread - and ponder the following:
a) this appears to be our new normal
b) AHS makes no effort to communicate this info
c) how exactly will four health silos make this better?
Thank you to everyone who's been Sharing our AHS Closure/COVID Outbreak Map! We've hit over 146+K Views! www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/v... a HUUUUUUUUGE! Shout out and Thanks to @frazzleheadlc.bsky.social for her amazing help (and putting up with me!) through all this work! /27

Why are kids sick all the time? For many families, this has been a challenging fall, by Lyne Filiatrault, Arijit Chakravarty, T. Ryan Gregory

It can be simple to protect our and others health — by masking in public with K95 or N95 masks, testing before gatherings, increasing ventilation, and staying home if sick.Not only will this help mitigate the spread of COVID, but also all other respiratory illnesses of the season, like flu and RSV.
This resonated with me:
"People aren't defined by their successes, they're defined by how they bounce back from failures"!
Never give up and never stop trying!
BAM
