4°C/7.2°F of warming by 2084. Whether or not you understand what that means, understand that we CAN AND MUST rapidly phase out fossil fuels, because failing to do so is a death sentence for most people and life on Earth. This is not a drill.

By 10am we're on the cusp between medium & high risk wildfire smoke AGAIN. 2025 will irrefutably be yet another year where Calgarians breathe literally 100s of hours of smokey air where the norm since time immemorial was just 12 hours per year.

While wait times rise and surgeries are delayed, the UCP’s friends and insiders keep getting paid through suspicious contracts. Danielle Smith says healthcare is 'fine.' Albertans know it’s not. We need public health care that puts people before politics. #VoteforBetter youtu.be/M6kB4V9HDcA
