Dear @shoppersdrugmart.bsky.social see this…

Every time I am in my local SDM the staff encourage me to use the self-check. I will never use self checkout.
Yet they continue to try. When will retailers recognize their most valuable assets are their human employees.

Liberals didn't block anything; in fact this nastyass clown Danielle Smith wouldn't have TMX if it weren't for Justin Trudeau Liberals purchasing it from Kinder Morgan in 2018 and which has been in operation since 2024.. providing thousands of jobs and opening the province's energy to new markets..

And so Pierre Poilievre's nitwit Conservatives want their Bill C-237 to amend the Fisheries Act..
Yes, the Fisheries Act that the Harper/Poilievre Conservatives (grab a coffee..) *cough* 'streamlined' to;
- gut environmental regulations
- reduce statutory protection of fish habitats

How Alberta’s separatists threaten to derail billions of dollars in investments Threats of separation in 1980 and 1995 led to capital flight from Quebec.

Todd Hirsch, ATB: "I've already been hearing privately, companies saying we are holding off on expansion in Alberta until this is kind of settled one way or the other"

Business hates uncertainty.

Alberta Does Not Have Grievances. It Has Issues Alberta doesn’t need a new constitutional deal or separation. It needs competent politicians.

Alberta Does Not Have Grievances. It Has Issues

AB doesn’t need a new constitutional deal or separation.

It needs better politicians than Danielle Smith and Jason Kenney.

I checked. This appears to be a breach of the provincial Elections Act. Municipalities are not allowed to provide a venue for the signing.

It's February, where is the report on class-size that you promised?

Another opportunity to do the right thing for Alberta's teachers and their students, but you respond in typical Smith fashion.

While I agree with the sentiment this doesn’t address the root cause.

We are using taxpayer dollars to indirectly support & continue incredibly high profits by grocery chains, wholesalers & massive meat packers.

Producers & Consumers are being eaten by the greed of the corporate Middlemen

Smith is trying to rhetorically appeal to both separatists and federalists. But her actions have been much more supportive of the separatist cause. When there is the referendum she will have to pick a side and "Sovereign Alberta in a United Canada" won't do it.

Polling Canada results for Alberta (28%) and Quebec (32%) support for independence.

And yet this will consume time, energy, money and attention for months to come.

What a waste of resources.

This is great, but y'all need to do something legislatively to break up the near monopoly large Canadian grocers rely on to exploit Canadians.

They're driving inflation as much as the tariffs.

Corporate greed has been wildly out of control & unchecked for far too long.

Do something about that.

Number of COVID-19 Shots Delivered in Alberta Drops By Half, Following $100 Fee and Other Restrictions “What we've heard over the last few months is extreme frustration from Albertans who were trying to use the booking system to get the vaccine.”

“We have a government that’s anti-science and that is pandering to a very niche right-wing base that the Premier thinks she needs to keep happy, rather than looking at what’s best for Albertans or our health care system,” Gallaway said.

All part of UCP's 'War on Public Health".

War on the health of the public.

How can they think this is the right thing? Some kind of weird freedom so that more of us can get sick, and some will die. And the UCP knows it. How can they think this is the right thing?

Americans say they're tired of outsiders telling them to do more. We are tired of your president threatening us. Oh, he's threatening you too? We know. The difference is *YOU'RE THE ONES WITH THE POWER TO STOP HIM* - we will *all* face the consequences if you don't.

The people who are mad at Mark Carney for doing a deal with China on EVs are the *same* ones who think Canada should build a bunch of new pipelines to sell oil and gas to...China.

Set aside the hypocrisy for a moment and ask: can they not see where the puck is going here?

What did you think all those trips earlier this year to to the US and Mar a Largo were about? Better education/ Healthcare / Albertans kitchen table issues ? Maintaining Alberta as a part of Canada?
or auditioning for governorship for the newest US state
