‘A critical issue': First Nations elders say they weren't properly consulted in revisions of provincial education curriculum #Indigenous #ABEd #ABLeg #ABPoli #Education #Treaty #BrokenTreaty #Erasure www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

I have, of course, been blocked. But please, fellow Canadians, don't white wash history, it's just as revolting as anything else happening right now.

~ MEDIA RELEASE: HSAA Calls for Immediate End to ASI and Private Surgical Facilities Amid Massive Overcharging Scandal  "This is an outright betrayal of Albertans," said HSAA President Mike Parker. hsaa.ca/post/hsaa-ca...

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

It would appear that Danielle Smith and the rest of the UCP work for Sam Mraiche as one big criminal operation and they’re robbing the people of Alberta blind.

Danielle Smith went to the Vancouver game with tickets gifted to her by an Invest Alberta board member. Somehow, Sam Mraiche and another executive from MHCare ended up there, too. Not in the photo: AHS executives. #ableg #abpoli

Yessssss, Carrie's bringing CIHI methodology into the discussion, this journalist is doing things RIGHT!! Shout out to Carrie and all the brilliant folks in AB untangling the details of the corruption.

Price comparisons of surgeries done at private facilities vs AHS costs, courtesy of the new documents obtained by the Globe and Mail. Given what has been going on within the public health care system, especially the ongoing closures in rural Alberta, this data is horrifying.

BREAKING NEWS - key Liberal committee has voted to disqualify Ruby Dhalla from the liberal leadership race. The latest on Power & Politics at 5

The UCP loves to blame unions, physicians, people who get cancer - they'll point the finger at anyone else rather than let you see the real game. Which is robbing us blind and blaming the victims of their crimes while ruining healthcare and making people sicker.

Alberta surgical companies with contracts under scrutiny linked to firm that imported children’s pain meds, by @carrietait.bsky.social @alannasmith.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... via @theglobeandmail.com

"Documents obtained by The Globe show some of those prices were more than double what a competitor was charging for the same procedures." Alberta surgical companies with contracts under scrutiny linked to firm that imported children’s pain meds theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

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

Citizens from the small town Chkhorotsku, Georgia, gathered together to protest against oligarchy and show support for Ukraine. (📹 @GvantsaSamkh) #3E #EndOligarchy #GeorgiaProtests

I’m finding that I’m counting on CBC here in Canada more than possibly ever before. The Panel discussion just now on how truly scary the Trump situation is for Canada and the world, was the most blunt and honest I’ve seen. So of course, Pierre Poilievre is attacking the CBC and established media.

There are (at least) two billionaires this could be referring to. Dr Wesley is referring to one in AB. If Canadians look south and think it wouldn't happen here, please understand it already is, courtesy of Smith and the UCP.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

The US Department of Justice said it would drop a case accusing Elon Musk's space technology company SpaceX of refusing to hire certain immigrants reut.rs/3ELmwK5

Man what the fuck did we do lmao look at this shit

As physicians we pay a lot of taxes (more than Elon and Trump and Bezos!), but we don’t mind if the $$ is being spent on education, infrastructure, and healthcare. Because as physicians, we care for the welfare of other humans. #Medsky

Provincial leadership talking about our front line health care workers this way is disgusting. Speak Out! Speak Loud! We got you Health Care Workers! #ahs #abpoli #ableg #health #ucpiscorrupt #savethebreakdown #corruptcare www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Salute to the CTV staffer who's showing a little extra love to the AP tonight 👍
