Are We Starting to Treat Plane Crashes The Way We Treat Car Crashes? “As aviation disasters pile up, is America in the midst of a culture shift in transportation safety — and what would that mean for advocates on the ground?” Via @usa.streetsblog.org

~The St. Albert Gazette has been knocking it out of the park in exposing #UCPCorruption Timeline of how lobbyists with ties to UCP pushed coal policy rewrite The coal industry hired at least 14 UCP insiders to lobby for favourable policy changes www.stalbertgazette.com/local-news/t...

Albertans are slowly waking up to the depths of the scandal enveloping the UCP government. A lot of folks are wondering how to explain what's going on to people who haven't been tuning in. Here's the what, so what now what, and what's next of the situation. 🧵

SCOOP: Sam Mraiche, owner of the firm that imported meds from Turkey, is a part owner in two private surgical facilities that last year were negotiating deals with inflated rates compared to competitor, according to documents www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w/ @alannasmith.bsky.social

Hi. DM or email me for my cell. I'm on WhatsApp and Signal at that number. Find me on LinkedIn. We protect our sources. #abpoli #ableg

SCOOP - A big payout for Sam Mraiche and major embarrassment for Infrastructure Minister Peter Guthrie, who called for the health minister to step down last week. Mraiche Profited from Quick Sale of Property to UCP Government via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

Media needs to quit using the word "annex". He wants to invade our country. INVADE.

“Trump is wrong; the world must say so. He’s taking US down a disastrous path…favouring Putin’s gangster state over democracies of free Europe.He’s standing alongside murder & tyranny against democracy & liberty. His is a historic inversion of America’s destiny” www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

The minister who called for LaGrange's removal may now be implicated in a separate swindle involving the same players, government documents show. @charlesrusnell.bsky.social broke the latest story in this evolving scandal. thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

BOSTON (AP) — The anthem singer who performed the Canadian anthem prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game on Thursday night changed a lyric in “O Canada” as a response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated remarks about making the country the 51st state.

Time and time again, @mark-carney.bsky.social has demonstrated he has what it takes to steer a G7 economy through choppy waters. He is the leader our party - and our country - needs. That’s why I’m supporting Mark Carney to be the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.

Tone deaf much?

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

remarkable that the White House cannot just say that Putin is responsible for Putin's war

Alberta will end up having a public inquiry around AHS contracts and allegations of political interference. The question is when. Just like Trudeau tried avoiding a public inquiry into foreign election interference or Biden refused to retire, eventually right decision was made.

Braid: "Why would Mentzelopoulos — longtime deputy minister in both Alberta and B.C., loyal government soldier for her entire career, experienced leader who knew full well that her job was to wind down AHS — why would she suddenly poke the bear in such a job-busting way?" Why indeed.

Smith and LaGrange do a hit-and-run on AHS, blame them for the scandal, promise "legal wall" for new inquiry independence. Column calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #abhealth #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg #AHS

As Premier Smith attempts to obfuscate her, her staff & her MLA’s alleged direct involvement in the procurement scandal by implying it occurred completely within the AHS umbrella, ASK THIS: Then why did she fire everyone in AHS trying to publicly expose & investigate it? #ableg

Why is the Premier so scared of getting to the truth and calling a public inquiry to this CorruptCare scandal? youtube.com/shorts/muYF5...

So what if Dale McFee got playoff tickets from Sam Mraiche / MHCare? My UCP gov’t is changing the rules so we can get away with doing anything we want! So what are you going to do about it? What is anyone going to do? Write letters? Send emails? “Protest”? 🤣 thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

Zelensky fires back at Trump for saying Ukraine “started” war with Russia: “Unfortunately, President Trump, with all due respect for him as the leader of a nation that we respect greatly…  is living in this disinformation bubble.”

..Lethbridge[has a] $14-billion-a-year worldwide food industry built up over 70 years. It provides thousands of jobs. McCain recently expanded its potato plant, providing 250 new, permanent jobs. Even minor selenium exceedances cause food shipments to be rejected. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Glad this is picking up steam in the traditional media. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Also on Trump's list of "degenerate art" no longer acceptable in America: The Gay Men's Chorus. If you're queer and think the MAGA-GOP aren't coming for your ability to live openly in every way, you're deluding yourself.

This is Sam Mraiche, CEO of MHCare. Sam benefitted from over $614M UCP gov't contracts for defective face masks, Turkish pain meds, CSFs, & more. Sam gave NHL playoff Skybox tix to UCP MLAs & staffers. Sam is suing @thebreakdownab.bsky.social to silence them for reporting his connections.

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.

Let's be clear » Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 after issuing demands that it should never join the NATO alliance. Russia started a war that has caused hundreds of thousands of military and civilian casualties. Ukraine did not start this war. youtu.be/LWDx0HorbzM?...

This is obscene. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Everyone looking to strengthen democracy should be extremely worried when deep pockets can shut down the conversation. bsky.app/profile/duan...

A simple way out for the gov't: come clean. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Anyone who thinks Trump isn’t coming for 🇨🇦Canada’s natural resources should take a look at what he’s doing to 🇺🇦Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

I get that the players live in la la land but this is about real shit. Your feelings are hurt? Maybe take a moment to find out why Canadians are so mad. theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

America is so fucked man yikes 🤧

Those who know nothing about the 1938 Sudetenland crisis and the preceding Munich Agreement have no idea how dangerous Trump's demented fixation on Canada really is.

Nice Americans, a plea: There are many of you here. Hello. Please stop imagining the benefits of Canada being consumed by America. Instead advocate against this horrific notion. Wasting time imagining it happen is time you can better spend fighting against it. Best, Paul, a Canadian

60% of exported US Ketchup is sold in Canada. This photo tells the story. Not anymore. It's being left on the shelf. Heinz ketchup is made at two plants, one in Ohio and the other in Iowa. Two Red states. #BuyCanadian #Tariffs

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

today's essential read for, well, everybody.

This is extraordinary. There is a principle of Cabinet solidarity; every Cabinet minister MUST stand together. To see one minister criticize or suggest a colleague should be shuffled is incredible.

"You Europeans are over-sensitive to the threat of fascism" says a US vice president who has called for disregarding court orders restricting the unlawful actions of his boss.
