Lethbridge-East residents frustrated in attempts to help with Nathan Neudorf recall petition Lethbridge-East residents say they've had a frustrating time trying to sign up to help with the recall petition for MLA Nathan Neudorf.

No surprise. Well known in #Lethbridge that Mr Neudorf is an ineffective MLA and doesn't address concerns of constituents.

Canada’s women’s health strategy ended in 1999. It shows. Misdiagnoses. Blind spots. Worse outcomes for things we know how to treat.

‘Canada is the only #G7 country without a national strategy. We rank 64th in the world on women’s #health. This is an unacceptable failure for a country that claims to lead.

The solutions are neither abstract nor novel.

A 10-year #women’s-health investment is needed now..’

The worrying rise of US anti-abortion rhetoric is in full force - how deep is Reform UK's involvement? Money is pouring into anti-abortion campaigns in Britain, and it seems Nigel Farage’s party isn’t pushing back…

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.

Shane Getson openly lied in the Legislature this week.

He said on multiple occasions that the Supreme Court of Canada had said that possession of Child Sexual Abuse Materials is "OK".

The Supreme Court said no such thing.

Tomorrow, the Auditor General will release his report into the UCP's Dynalife fiasco.

They're hoping to flood the zone this week with citizenship markers and anti-trans legislation.

Keep your focus on the targets.
And the broader pattern.

The UCP is shifting Alberta away from liberal democracy.

This should concern #Albertans & legal professionals.
