The best thing I ever did for my health and wellness was refusing to participate in “wellness” initiatives at work that added to a busy schedule. Employers concerned with wellness should address heavy workloads and free up employees to address their own wellness as they see fit.

Remember how angry Republicans and their supporters were when Former President Biden once spent a few hours at the beach? Where’s that outrage now?

It’s hard to watch the news these days, and I’m reminded of a line in Sean O’Casey’s Juno and the Paycock, “Th’ whole worl’s in a terrible state o’ chassis (chaos).” But then I think of Seamus Heaney’s poem about hope and history and how “The longed-for tidal wave of justice can rise up.”

Justin Trudeau speaking to Americans - This is how a statesperson behaves. The bully in the White House should take note.

Keep fighting, keep dancing.

If Danielle Smith is so hell-bent on listening to contrarian opinions for covid management, she should be 100% willing to listen to climate activist opinions on oil sands and coal mining, right? Right?

“Yesterday we witnessed the inauguration of a man whose ideology embodies everything the EU was founded to reject” “Standing up to Trump will come at a cost, but it is much less than letting this poison win” “Europe must resist because our history demands it” - My Speech on Trump’s inauguration

"It's important that all Albertans are being served and represented by their local MLA.” Unless, of course, you live in Brookes-Medicine Hat!

With her carefully chosen examples, Bishop Budde highlighted not only the cruelty of the incoming administration’s policies, but their complete lack of humanity, as her own humanity shone through.

You are the company you keep.

Yaaaaassss, Lethbridge!!! Let's gooo!!!

True joy dwells not in the glitter of gold or the allure of achievement, but in our heart's ability to find light in life's darkest moments. Though fortunes may fade & success may slip away, those who embrace life fully—dancing through both its storms & sunshine—discover everlasting joy. Gurdeep.org

As an alumnus of the U of A, I’d be interested in how university admin plan “to create an environment that encourages dialogue, mutual respect, and the pursuit of knowledge” in a province where gov. actively works against such an environment. It’s not the language of EDI that’s polarizing.

I'm very thankful to the author for taking the time to write this experience. Please take a moment to read it 👇 A couple of comments: - this is the NORM in our major EDs, by no way an exception - none of the HCWs working in this environment want it to be like this... 1/4 https://buff.ly/41QFMiH

During 5+ years of a UCP government, our children being denied access to health care has become normal. But it is not normal. And we should not accept it. Health care is a provincial responsibility. It’s long past time to hold the UCP responsible. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Santa has passed judgement on Alberta. We get coal.

Thank you, Lethbridge. To the folks who voted for the first time, to our long-time supporters, and to those who didn’t vote for me: I want you to know that I will work for you, fight for you, and represent every one of you in the legislature.

I have been concerned about our democracy and where our country is going lately, with all the disinformation by Poilievre and the CPC Party, their messaging is full of hate and anger, lies, he is constantly twisting the narrative to match his ‘so called’ route to a progressive fiscal government, /1

NDP holds Lethbridge West; Miyashiro edges Middleton-Hope by 1,150 votes lethbridgeherald.com/news/lethbri...

Tomorrow, Lethbridge can send a message to Danielle Smith. Enough is enough.

#LethbridgeWest, you need to VOTE tomorrow, December 18th, in the By-Election. Be the difference! #NeverVoteConservative #Lethbridge #Ableg #Abpoli

#Ableg There is NO evidence to support the claim that Americans entering Alberta, or vice versa, pose a significant safety risk—let alone justify $29,000,000 on UCP cops Danielle Smith’s UCP isn’t showing Albertan’s leadership when we need it; it’s needless performative nonsense when we don’t.

Just got back from Ireland last night to news that I live in a pretty lawless part of the province - The UCP are sending out Wild West vibes. 🤣

Temporary foreign workers are increasingly the target of RW attacks, but we don’t hear much about their unethical treatment by recruiters and employers, i.e the privileged. apple.news/Aj9dg9ICGSy-...

Dr. Wesley so succinctly describes the populism of Alberta’s UCP government here. Hands down the best explainer of what is at stake here (and perhaps elsewhere too), even if it did make my blood run cold. Essential reading not just for Albertans, but for all Canadians. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Excellent description of the dangers of populism (Smith’s UCP) vs democracy.

Lethbridge deserves better. You deserve a family doctor and health care when and where you need it. You deserve a secure pension, affordable housing, and an affordable life. Let’s work together to make real change in our community. For Lethbridge. For Alberta. For all of us.

Today, we honour the lives of our transgender family members, friends, and neighbours who have been taken from us through acts of violence and hate. We stand in solidarity with trans and gender-diverse people and will continue fighting against the provincial government’s discrimination.

As you can tell by the state of healthcare in our province, and our firing of the entire AIMCo board, Albertans can totally trust my UCP government with your pension money. I just don't know if I trust them with mine. #abpoli #ableg #app
