Alberta bill would limit MAID to patients facing 'reasonably foreseeable' death | CBC News New legislation would prevent anyone in Alberta from receiving medical assistance in dying (MAID) who is unlikely to die within the next 12 months.

I am so proud that the NDP fought for teachers and spoke loudly for the rest of us. In solidarity, I just signed a few petitions and signed up to help my local NDP association. #solidarity #fireucp #charterrights

I’m trying to deal with auto and home insurance and they are trying to rake me over the coals and charge me $2000 more a year just because.
I want insurance caps back. I want a government who actually works for the people. #voteNDP #fireUCP
