In a late release this afternoon @youralberta.bsky.social says #Albertans who are not on social services or have underlying health conditions will be required to pay out of pocket if they choose to receive a #Covid-19 booster this fall. More below. #ABPoli #yyc #yeg www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...
Hi there! What was this event about?
Albertans have good reason to be angry: their real wages are down 10%, their minimum wage is frozen, their inflation is worst in Canada, their health care's at risk. None of that was caused by the rest of Canada. My take in today's @TorontoStar: www.thestar.com/business/opi.... #cdnecon
Not sure how many #elections I've #voted in now. But my first was federally in 2006, and I've only missed two since then because I was a resident for less than 6 months at the time of the election in the province I was living in. Anyways, do the thing. Got #vote! It's easy!
I wish...
Congratulations to each party leader for winning the debate in the eyes of their party. #Debate2025
