What a concept

When AHS was overseeing health for the province, clinical ethics was centralized and provided ethics support for patients and frontline workers. Now with care divided across 4 ministries, I am wondering how ethics support will look.

Feds bought & built TMX. Complain about the cost but it’s operating. They delivered. This was supposed to be a bargain. Tidewater in exchange for meaningful reductions in GHGs. Has the oil industry delivered there? That’s the starting point for discussions about further pipelines. #ableg #cdnpoli

Hey Alberta Thank the federal government and the rest of Canada for that PP byelection. It's costing us 2 million dollars. You are welcome.

Since PP is a private citizen, can I also call a press conference just to discuss my views on the cabinet?

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Wow, young Elizabeth on history hit channel is worth the watch.

So Alberta separatists: you leave Canada and lose your singular pipeline to tidewater (built by federal Liberals). And then what? You pout to get access back? You beg the Americans to give you a fairer shake? Someone help me understand the strategy here… #ableg #cdnpoli

Make it make sense. Why choose involuntary care over maximizing voluntary care and social supports. It's not like voluntary care failed. You just never invested in it. You decided to put money into coercive care without an evidence base to support it.

I truly wish that #MSM would consider reporting Danielle Smith’s comments differently. Instead of saying she expressed her province’s anger and frustration it would be much more accurate to report she expressed her base’s anger and frustration that Liberals won the election. #Abpoli #ableg #canpoli

Hey, Dani vm.tiktok.com/ZMBEgF7jo/

No riding should be considered so safe that a party feels guaranteed of a win. Every candidate should have to work hard to get to know constituents and their concerns. Photo ops shouldn't be enough. Candidates need to knock on doors, have townhalls, and debate other candidates. Normalize this.

Well, despite our attempts to discourage the behavior... we have a clutch of mallard eggs in a corner of our yard. Determined mom. Now we have to protect but also figure out how to safely get the babies to water when they hatch. Do wildlife officers help with this?

Great comment, Andrew, and thanks for acknowledging that some Albertans definitely do not support the messaging from Danielle Smith.

Alberta First Nations have issued a "cease and desist" order to Danielle Smith's attempt to break up our country. "If you or any Canadians are not happy living on treaty lands, they are free to seek citizenship elsewhere." Let Danielle Smith know what you think about breaking up the country.

"If you or any other Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere." Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation issues a scathing rebuke of Danielle Smith's talks on a national unity crisis.

So, the election is over with sobering results. We can celebrate this win, but continue to be woke Canada.... we have a lot of work to do.
