What is the "Corrupt Care" scandal?

Pete Guthrie, who left the UCP over their refusal to call a public inquiry, summed it up impressively today.

And he called out the UCP MLA's and ministers who remain silent on it.

Chicken thigh s on top of a waffle covered in butter chicken sauce. Served on a plate with cutlery on the side

Side shot of chicken thighs on top of a waffle and then covered in butter chicken sauce. Garnished with green onion.

Tonight's dinner was butter chicken and garlic waffles. Fuck it turned out way better than even I thought. The butter chicken sauce was so good. Definitely make that one again.

Also if you're a grown ass man

The Alberta President of the Canadian Bar Association has entered the chat…

Calling out not only the preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause but also the limited debate as threats to the rule of law.

Painting of a mother ship storm cloud lit from below with swirling clouds above over a butte.

Painting of a nebula that looks like a hand with orange yellow clouds and lots of stars on a blue black field

Painting of a spiral galaxy with swirls of blue white and red orange arms with clusters of stars and a area of stars in the center

I'm an Alberta based artist who has a thing for storms & space.

I do commissions & have originals & 50 different canvas & paper prints available earthskyart.ca/shop

My SIL and BIL in Montana had a $9000k deductible for their Health Insurance. AND they paid $5-6k every month. This is what For-Profit Healthcare gets you.

It would have to be a really great sale to make me fly them again, their seats are so tight, my knees were so close to the seat in front of me that the dude sitting there couldn't recline. He tried, I pushed his seat right back up and the FA made him sit upright after she saw him hit me w/the seat

$3812.

That’s what it cost our family for my wife to be on strike for the past 3 weeks. We’re lucky. We can afford it. But knowing that after all that time and money, the only thing that’s changed is she and 50K of her fellow teachers have fewer rights than they did before? It doesn’t feel great.

Gather round, young 'uns, and Ol' Vic'll spin you a tale...

Remember when the King came to visit? Not this one with the ears like taxi doors, you know, the other one, one of the Georges. Maybe it was an Edward

Anyway, he comes down to little ol' Edmonton and he goes on a merry tour, see?

I've been here for 20 years. They absolutely don't realize shit, they think that Oil and Gas is the be-all-and-end-all and that we have to kowtow to them to keep our "prosperity".

Take Calgary and it's satellite communities - people will commute 1-3hrs/day into downtown to not pay "high city taxes"

*teachers strike*

NOT LIKE THAT!!!

LiBeRtY, eQuAlItY, FUCK TEACHERS!

Striking Alberta teachers forced back to work by fast-tracked legislation, notwithstanding clause | CBC News Bill 2 passed early Tuesday morning after a long night for lawmakers in the provincial legislature. Premier Danielle Smith’s government introduced the legislation the day before.

Anyone living in a free and democratic society should be disgusted by this action. Meanwhile, our Premier,
@ABDanielleSmith , is abroad in Saudi Arabia, perhaps gaining perspective on what life is like in a country with little regard for human rights. #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

She'll promise a tax break and Calgary will forget all about it to elect these spineless gimps.

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦

Alberta is #ForeverCanadian

Same with OT playoff games.

The first baseman had the ball as he was rounding third. He was dead-to-rights.

With the bases loaded? Sure.

The relay, the time the catcher had to put his glove down, then readjust to the runner says that was FAR from a perfect throw. They had time and gunned him down.

*gunned

Teoscar's arm may be shit, but they had time for a relay AND tubes him down by five feet. Bad call.

Buck Martinez is an absolute moron. Never should have sent him on that play. #BlueJays #WorldSeries

It’s been getting harder and harder to shake the feeling that Premier Smith cares more about oil than actual Albertans. It’s one thing to suspect that, but having it confirmed like this is something else entirely.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

Pan with two types of nachos divided by parchment paper.

Made two types of #nachos tonight.

Top: Korean inspired - Korean beef, cheese, edamame, peproncini, sesame seeds, cabbage, Sriracha Mayo, Sriracha.

Bottom: Regular - taco beef, cheese, jalapenos, salsa and sour cream.

So good!!

100%. When someone tells me they're Libertarian, I just start talking to them like I would a 3y.o. Only way to communicate with them.

"Libertarian" just means that they want to abolish the age of consent because mentally they're the same age as the objects of their desire.

That's fair, but I don't agree. We raised our kid without spanking and she's a great kid. Polite, respectful and kind; knows how to behave in public, that kind of stuff. Is she entitled and a bit spoiled? Yes she is. But she's a teenager, and she's also a good person.

I don't think you need spanking to discipline.

But 100% right a/b parents needing to be parents, not besties. If an adult friend came to your place, yelled and screamed at full volume, ran around destroying the place and acted like an asshole, you wouldn't tolerate it, why tolerate it from kids?

Shakshuka, a spicy tomato, pepper and onion stew with Middle Eastern spices and eggs poached in the sauce.

Shakshuka on the stove with toast sticks beside.

Was going to have breakfast for dinner tonight, then Mrs. Gdawg suggested #Shakshuka. It was fucking amazing. One of my favorite breakfasts.

And hand-over-fist. Just bending over anyone who wants to go see anything.
