Poilievre has his slogans. And Carney always opens with "Here are my three points."

I kind of want to go

Reposting a link to an article by Pete McMartin of the Vancouver Sun "Farewell My American Friends, It's Over" vancouversun.com/news/opinion... Sums up what a lot of us feel right now.

Again Danielle Smith and her party think she and only she knows what's best for everyone. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“The [AER] is completely broken and should be dismantled,” said Chief Adam, who broke down in tears describing what it was like telling his people their water may be contaminated. “AB’s reaction throughout is to say this is a communications issue simply…The AER is a complete joke.”

Everyday I wait to see what Danielle and the UCP will be trying to sneak past Albertans.

What does the dawn of Dark Age 2.0 look like...? Trump administration’s abrupt cancellation of scientific meetings prompts confusion, concern www.statnews.com/2025/01/22/t... "...will likely lead to interruptions in grant funding, which is bad for U.S. biomedical research."

News from me today; Government cuts $500K in funding to Alberta disability organization — this makes it four orgs (serving the same sector) to have their funding be cut since the start of 2025. DM me if you have tips on others. #abpoli www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/gov...

“Not a single line in any one of the studies raises anything but warnings for agriculture about the prospect of re-starting open-pit coal mining at Grassy Mountain, in the municipal district of Ranchland.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli waterforfood.substack.com/p/government...

Worth the read! “[Smith] and her husband … bought into, a retirement package in Panama” whose govt “offers a number of incentives for retirees.” “The “libertarian” crowing over a list of “free” government goodies they would get by relocating still makes me smirk.”

She blocked out the maple leaf. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is stunning! Like a child having a temper tantrum, Danielle Smith has released a new statement where she demands that a "Team Canada" approach has to start by giving her everything that she wants! Smith is doing all the dividing for Trump! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

For all the separatists who are salivating at the idea of Alberta becoming the 51st state… Just a reminder. There’s some folks who have the final say in that. And you would have to convince them that THIS time the powers have their best interests in mind. #abpoli #cdnpoli

Check out what Ben Meiselas of the MeidasTouch Network thinks of Danielle Smith's pilgrimage to Donald Trumps Home in Florida. youtube.com/watch?v=wA2a...

#VaccinesWork 6 Childhood Scourges We’ve Forgotten About, Thanks to Vaccines www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h... Measles Diphtheria Tetanus Mumps Rubella Polio: "In the U.S, vaccines drove paralytic polio cases down from more than 21,000 in 1952 to just one in 1993."

EAs & support staff are the backbone of schools, yet many haven’t seen a wage increase in yrs. The UCP’s underfunding of schools has left them no choice but to strike. It’s time to stand up for fair wages and proper funding for students in our schools. #AbEd #AbEducation #AbLabour #AbLeg #AbPoli

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.

I just reposted Timothy Caulfield's post regarding misinformation being spread by Donald Trumps picks. He has been fighting misinformation for years. Check him out if you have not yet.

RFK Jr running U.S. healthcare. What could go wrong? www.cbc.ca/player/play/... SO MUCH! Normalization of anti-science ethos. Erosion of good research. Elevation of bad science. And > deaths. Need that candle in the dark! Can't let it get extinguished. Great chat with Andrea Love on The National
