Important thread

This is astounding. It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS. And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

“We can’t wait or hope for America to get its act together. The resistance must start now. I am hoping that a coalition from around the world will join Canada. But if not, we will stand on our own.”

LeGrange needs the be booted and Smith needs to resign. That’s only a tiny fix but it’s a good place to start.

Full disclosure…I don’t love hockey and I don’t really like jumping on a bandwagon, but all the same….HELL YEAH!

Canadians attempting the same cognitive dissonance about our own growing fascism problem will lead us to suffer the same fate as the Americans.

The sad part is, they either think that they’re being clever or that they’re being funny. This is neither. #canpoli #NeverPP

I watched the UCP press conference several times this afternoon (so you wouldn't have to). Here are my takeaways (but you should watch it for yourself).🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bjZ...

The guy who says he’ll “put Canada first” still doesn’t have his security clearance. Party before country (or how to gaslight an entire nation)

So the guy the UCP govt tried to get fired from his govt job because of his podcast criticizing the Premier had his podcast shut down by the guy who gave the Premier's staff sky box tickets to a Stanley Cup game last year? Nothing incredibly fishy illegal about that, I'm sure, right?

That favourable is still too high #NeverPollievre

JFC…we’re just one step away from big golden Trump statues in every public square

~The Globe & Mail reports top-level allegations that Marshall Smith, former chief of staff to AB Premier interfered in AHS procurement. A forensic investigation must extend to the Ministry of Mental Health & Addiction, which Smith oversaw from 2019 to 2022. drugdatadecoded.ca/marshall-smi...

Thank you @charlieangus104.bsky.social “"So don't let anyone in this room ever accuse Canadians of not being there when it's time to defend freedom from fascism…. In a world of growing darkness, I know we can be the light.”

Imagine one of your employees accused another of funneling half a billion of your dollars to their friends. Imagine the accused told you not to worry. They're looking into it for you. That's where we are in Alberta. The premier and her staff are telling taxpayers to let them handle it.

An American ally looking to purchase 🇨🇦 flags from 🇨🇦 stores suggested I repost this for anyone else looking so: Try big national stores (Home Hardware, Canadian Tire) or small flag shops: Canadiana Flag (canadianaflag.ca), the Flag Emporium (canadaflagshop.com), or the Flag Shop (flagshop.com)

Even my little cookies get it #OhCanada 🇨🇦

Maybe Poilievre should put “Canada first” and get security clearance

Since the convoy-types co-opted the flag for their own purposes, I’ll admit I’ve been reluctant to fly it or flaunt it. They changed its meaning to me. But we’re taking it back. Happy 🇨🇦 Flag Day everyone! #FlagDay

~Nenshi is calling for LaGrange to be fired! “After DS fires her, she should step aside while the RCMP, the auditor general&the ethics commiss investigate. She can’t pretend she didn’t know for nearly a yr what was happening until she read it in the paper.” edmonton.citynews.ca/2025/02/13/n...

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

“New evidence from a govt directive shows Health Minister Adriana LaGrange removed AHS’s power to negotiate contracts for private surgical facilities after the agency’s then-CEO pointed out internal concerns over high-priced contracts.” Minister LaGrange must step aside until we get full answers.

A labyrinth of corruption. This is a long read (or listen), but worth your time.

Premier Smith finally emerges from her silence to do damage control over alleged corruption in the AHS procurement processes. She says she wasn't personally involved. Perhaps true for criminality but her Office seems to have a hand in abuses of power. A Public Inquiry will get at the whole truth.

I hope that’s true, but I also don’t want to get my hopes up, ya know?

There must be a full RCMP investigation, an Auditor-General investigation, and a public inquiry into these extremely troubling allegations. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...
