The fact that Trump can say “quiet piggy” to a reporter and not have it be talked about on mainstream news is beyond insane. He’s normalized his trash talk so no one bats an eyelash at it. That’s beyond insane.

As Smith and the UCP prepare to use the Notwithstanding clause against vulnerable youth today, I'm thinking of this poem

Eventually she will come for you and me

It's only a matter of time, IMO

Sign the recalls
Sign the referendums
Stand together
Break her power

Good morning.

If you live in Alberta, you should know that today your government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to wage war against transgender Albertans.

Not because transgender persons are harmful, but because the UCP is distracting you from their mountain of failures.

People are not machines. When 30,000+ hours of monthly overtime is the plan, it causes moral injury. Why do we let our essential health workers endure these conditions? This is not sustainable and puts all Albertans at risk. #ABleg #ABpoli

The Alberta government promised 3,000 more teachers. Some say that's misleading | CBC News When the Alberta government legislated a swift end to October’s provincial teachers’ strike, it pledged to pay for 3,000 more teaching positions during the next three school years. But what wasn't mad...

I’ve been saying this from the onset: the 3,000 teachers were only going to cover the cost of growth in the new school builds (if that) and not actually address the current needs. Math is, apparently, hard. #ABleg #Alberta #Education www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Canada loses measles elimination status after three decades, health agency says Canada has lost its measles elimination status after nearly three decades due to its failure to curb a year-long outbreak, the country's public health agency said on Monday.

Ridiculous. So maddening.

Yes, complex. But there is NO doubt that antivaxx misinformation big part of problem.

The UCP is wanting to pause all mRNA vaccines because they feel it’s not proven to be safe yet (🤣) according to resolutions to discuss at their AGM later this month

No words.

I do wish the feds had stricter regulations how provinces handle Punic healthcare funding. This privatization has to stop.

‼️HOLY SHIT‼️

Here’s the full interview. If anyone hasn’t watched it yet, I recommend you do. I doubt PP will resign on his own.

WOW!

#YYC firefighters are calling out Smith over her use of the notwithstanding clause.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi Get vaccinated to protect yourself and those around you.

It shouldn't be this hard to get vaccinated, but we still have to do our part.

Make sure to book an appointment and get your COVID vaccine to protect yourself and those around you.

Premier Danielle Smith says courts should be more 'constrained' in making decisions Alberta premier Danielle Smith commented on the justice systems involvement in deciding matters like the use of the not withstanding clause.

I think folks should be making a bigger fucking deal about how our Premier is saying out loud that the judicial branch shouldn’t be a check and balance against the legislative and executive branches. That notion is one of the pillars of modern democracy itself. calgaryherald.com/news/premier...

Disabled people tried to warn you.

We said that the rising eugenicist sentiment that accelerated during the “back to normal” phase of Covid would eventually hurt everyone

The new healthcare plan for America appears to be:

Don’t get sick

If you do get sick, it’s your fault

If you can’t pay, die

So the people who want to lead Canada resort to threatening and blackmailing one of their own who may have disliked where the party was headed.

Imagine what they would do if they ever managed to obtain power.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

A low vaccination rate will only put more pressure on already overworked and under-resourced hospitals.

Respiratory illness season is now upon us and hospitals in Edmonton and Calgary are already beyond full. The UCP government could have shown leadership in respect of public health workers. Instead they fired some and silenced others, resulting in the largest measles outbreak in North America.

The ruling class has had 20 years to come up with something better than “buy less avocado toast” to explain why you can’t afford a house. And they’ve opted to just play the old hits.

This is horrific.

Danielle Smith is dismantling the public healthcare system, and this is the result.

When is enough enough, Alberta? I mean come on. No amount of devout party loyalty is worth screwing over kids with cancer.

Boy with cancer’s chemo appointment cancelled amid Stollery space shortage | Globalnews.ca An Edmonton mom said the Stollery Children's Hospital urgently needs to grow after a shortage of beds meant her son Ben was turned away from his scheduled chemotherapy treatment.

“We were told that there are no beds in inpatient and that Ben is actually number four on the list waiting for a bed."

I am angry and heartbroken about this, as a parent, as someone who knows the Thomas family, and as an Albertan.

There are real consequences to real families and real children when we don’t treat public healthcare as a priority.

This is unacceptable.

Nazi salute at the Calgary Mall.

I'd say this guy should be made jobless, but you just know he is either jobless, or has his own roofing/house flipping company.
