I literally watched this video last night and now today there was the crash of Air India 171 killing over 200 people, which was a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. There needs to be an *impartial* and serious investigation into this crash. It’s a great video and I recommend everyone to watch it.

And the Albertan Government with the separatists are betting this on the bigotry and ignorance most Albertans to ignore all this. We cannot do this. Wake up Albertans, you are being fooled. If you have eyes and ears, you know indigenous people are not treated fairly, let alone equally here.

First chuckle of the night šŸ˜‚

After the Election, What's Next in Fighting The Far Right? The Liberals win, but we are still facing down the consequences of the far-right taking the United States, and threatening us. With their supporters here. The next government needs to act. www.antihate.ca/liberals_win... 1/

#ElectionsCanada needs to do better. What does ā€œin several cases, it was not possible to recruit local teamsā€ mean? It is your legal responsibility to provide voting available for *all* communities, especially indigenous and rural communities in Canada. There is no excuse. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is the point. The UCP *want* to destroy it so they can say things like ā€œsee see wait times!ā€ I even met an American once who was convinced our healthcare is garbage compared to theirs. But it’s all fun and games until you lose your insurance. And then what? Pay out of pocket? No thanks.

A brutally honest and heartbreaking answer from former Alberta CMOH Dr Mark Joffe when asked on measles… ā€œIf the govt of Alberta actually wanted your opinion, what would you tell them to do today?ā€ #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

ā€œRCMP now formally investigating allegations against Alberta RCMPĀ Alberta Health Servicesā€ While I’m not a fan on how the RCMP has done investigations in the past, at least this adds more fuel to the UCP dumpster fire. More: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #CorruptCare

Sickening and pathetic - unfortunately not a shocking action by the UCP. Albertans, remember this when friends/family talk about how ā€œineffectiveā€ our healthcare is. ***There is a reason***

I feel like ā€œCovenant Healthā€ is an oxymoron. How in the world does religious *beliefs* align with the healthcare? The UCP/AHS are fully capable of making their own centre *if* they spent the money right. This will harm women that need essential/life-saving care that goes against these *beliefs*.

So they literally could have set up 400 people in a $1500 a month apartment for 29 YEARS for what they spent to abuse people. Or housed almost 1000 people for a year at the same rate.

~ā€œThis isn’t just mismanagement it’s a scandal" These disturbing allegations confirm the AB surgical Initiative is a costly failure that puts profits before patients Private surgical contracts are draining resources from our H/C system, reducing capacity&driving up costs. hsaa.ca/post/hsaa-ca...

*Wakeup Alberta* and please read about this incredibly concerning revelation by the Globe. The UCP are censoring public servants *again* by firing them (like when Kennedy fired the Alberta Election Commissioner while being investigated). Why do we keep allowing this to happen?

A powerful and heartfelt speech from Manitoba’s Premier Wab Kinew after they welcomed a Palestinian child from Gaza to provide life-saving medical care. Now this is how you lead šŸ‘ You can watch the entire speech and more here: news.gov.mb.ca/news/?archiv...

Danielle Smith and the UCP spent $2 million of your public money to prop up anti-science conspiracy theorists. They were paid millions to peddle misinformation and advocate for regressive dangerous policies. 🧵 www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

"The province has withheld survey results on an Alberta pension plan and renewable energy while appearing to ignore the results of engagements on municipal political parties and expanding alcohol sales to grocery and convenience stores" edmontonjournal.com/news/politic... #ableg #abpoli

Interesting 🧵 with an attached study (about why there has been a shift right politically in Europe).

If you want more details (& are concerned about the environment) what’s going on with the UCP & coal mining in Alberta, please read the thread below šŸ§µšŸ‘‡

Couldn’t agree more. Basically like putting a bandaid on an infected and oozing wound.

The billionaires want you all to be divided to keep the heat off of them. This nightmare will all be over on the day that working people unite and realize that’s it’s YOU vs. THEM.

Hmmm I wonder why🧐 Jk the answer is always *capitalism* Unsurprising with the upswing in unfettered (more like encouraged) corny capitalism mixed with a hyper-focus on consumption, class, and apathy. How can we be happy if we can’t take care of each other?

Damning article. This is why it is so important to share factual info with loved ones who may only get their ā€œnewsā€ from social media. The manipulation & influence of billionaires/corporations harms all of society. Their objectives are ALWAYS to make more money; they don’t care about you.

Recommendation from UCP committee would exempt political staffers from conflict of interest rules in Alberta. Changes would make it so staffers would not have to disclose gifts like hockey box tickets, among other impacts. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Governments and businesses are looking to lead on climate change, but too many of their commitments are built on flawed ā€œNet Zeroā€ frameworks and ā€œcarbon offsetsā€. Authentic climate leadership requires more — a transparent and meaningful ā€œEmissions 360ā€ approach. globalecoguy.org/the-world-ne...

Alberta Legislature Wraps Up Fall Session With Anti-Trans Bills Three right wing culture war bills to become law next year. pressprogress.ca/alberta-legi...

Stay vigilant in who you interact with & stay LOUD in protection of our trans friends. Let transphobes & others who want to invade and cause harm know that their opinions are not welcome. It is *not* a discussion.

ā€œJust so we’re clear, @jk_rowling: you come for her, you come for all of us. Me first. Let’s go.ā€ - Meghann Burke, NWSL Players Association šŸ‘ This is why trans rights are human rights. Bigotry harms everyone. Congrats to Barbra Banda/Orlando Pride for their wins! šŸ’ŖšŸ„‡ sports.yahoo.com/nwslpa-chief...

ā€œThe requirement for Ministerial approval amounts to unprecedented political control over education that will have significant harmful impacts on youth.ā€ Bill 27 will give govt absolute control over what schools can do in public health emergencies AND the lives of children. What is ā€œless govtā€?

I know zero things about gaming but I love me a @shaunvids.bsky.social video šŸ’…

Sad to think about how many JUICY ASS stories Canada is missing out on by not having Venmo in our country
