Dear lord. I’m learning that when the aggrieved wife keeps her mouth shut publicly it’s because political aspirations prevail. Which office is Vance’s wife going to land in?

Interesting… Premier’s Office requesting that AHS employee, Mr. Pike of @thebreakdownab.bsky.social be fired for his podcasts gives us an insight into Danielle Smith’s and UCP’s authoritarian tendencies. Danielle and Health Minister should step dow till all this is investigated. #ableg

This long weekend I ignored calls for resignation and a transparent investigation into the AHS procurement scandal. Instead, I hid from reporters and used Calgary's Central African communities to try to make myself look like someone who cares about minorities. #UCPCorruption #abpoli

Female physicians concerned about anti-science, anti-vax, suppressed reproductive rights in US are eyeing to move to Canada. Sadly none in the interview mentioned Alberta. This is not a coincidence. We have to do more to attract new docs. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models. Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

I spent some time reading Elon’s tweets this morning (one of my least favorite activities) and it’s hard to overstate how much he and his allies have constructed an alternate reality for their audience to believe in. In their world, Elon is a superhero fighting government fraud, like fanfiction

On top of firing the AHS CEO my UCP hired after firing the previous board, we're also trying to fire @natepike.bsky.social and @thebreakdownab.bsky.social because they keep saying things we don't like. But we're not authoritarians and I pledged 'freedom of speech.' Read: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“I worry that you have doctors who graduate medical school and are looking across the country at where they might do their residency — who would come to Alberta at this point?” Indeed. Not only have the UCP worsened healthcare, they have actively put a big ❌ on Alberta as a place for HCWs to work.

Trump is making another 911 more likely. His Gaza scheme is inflaming the Middle East. He’s gutting intelligence agencies, prioritizing loyalty over merit. FBI & CIA comms are in chaos. Weak intel means they may not see the threats coming. And w/political retribution as the focus—we’re wide open.
