Pride Tape: A game-changer for LGBTQ+ visibility in hockey - Surrey Now-Leader Pride tape was created in 2016 by Dr. Kristopher Wells and Jeff McLean

Celebrating 10 years with a wonderful story about the power and purpose of Pride Tape. 🌈🏒

Enforce the Canada Health Act! Canadian tax dollars are being deliberately misappropriated through underfunding of public healthcare and redirecting money to create a second-tier private for-profit health care system. The thieves are hiding in plain sight.

so true

Carlin misses the bait-and-switch. We don’t vote for "garbage"; we vote for the promise. The issue is that power changes the actor. Once they're in, the mask comes off and they become someone else entirely. You can’t blame the public for being conned by a professional liar.

There is nothing funny about this performance. She lies and contorts her face, thinking she’s fooling us. 🎭

We see the lying and the lack of soul. We see a woman who only cares for herself and her power. This isn’t leadership; it’s cruelty. 🙄

The Prairie Pity Puppy Scale

A key identifier for the psychopath is her play for pity. When in danger she will play the pity-card, painting herself as the one who did everything possible, who now needs your compassion and understanding. Look at her face.

The #UCP truly have no idea what they are doing. They just hope the multiple healthcare crises will just solve themselves and go away.

The UCP is dismantling our social safety net, forcing seniors to rely on the "Charity Pool" instead of legal entitlements. Cutting these benefits leads to skipped meds and ER visits, worsening the healthcare crisis. We need public support, not "benevolence". #ABleg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Thousands of Alberta seniors to lose income supplement as province faces rising provincial deficit | CBC News Alberta is making cuts to seniors' benefits and tax credits for caregivers as it faces a $9.4-billion budget deficit.

Cutting seniors' benefits and caregiver credits is penny-wise and pound-foolish. When seniors skip meds or food to survive, they end up in our already-overwhelmed ERs. This isn't a "saving"—it's a direct cost-shift to a healthcare system already in crisis. #ABleg #ABpoli

UCP’s $10B deficit plagues Albertans despite record crude production The UCP story is that Ottawa is blocking production, but that story is false, data shows.

Never has an Alberta government spent so much to give you so little.

A $9.4B deficit & the UCP still aren’t doing a thing to lower your costs. In fact, they’re charging you more.

You deserve better than being forced to pay for Danielle Smith’s pet projects.

Better is possible. #abpoli

“DO NO HARM”. The UCP will never understand. How many Albertans have died the past two years because of their incompetence/ungoverning?

Danielle Smith and Mickey Amery have spent a lot of time attacking Judges and claiming the appointment of federal judges "is not non-partisan".

But it turns out, not only are their complaints not based in reality, but "their" track record is actually worse.

Disabled Albertans Deserve Better Than a Dual-Track Assistance Program | The Tyee People deemed fit to work will begin receiving fewer benefits this summer. We are already living in poverty.

“I want to be clear: I am deeply grateful for Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped, or AISH.

“But gratitude does not mean I am living well. Feeling grateful and experiencing well-being are not the same thing.”

Donald L. Slater writes. #abpoli

First they came for the disabled (AISH de-indexing), then trans youth (Bills 26/27), then immigrant workers (health cuts). Now they’ve come for low-income seniors and caregivers. When they finally come for you, who will be left to speak? #ABleg #ABpoli #CdnPoli

LOL , OMG you are still around. I missed you 😀

Nice sign-fixed it, Matt. Shame about the actual healthcare.

If you aren’t following protocols and you aren’t meeting until late March, you aren’t "strengthening" anything. You’re just using a legacy as a backdrop while you dismantle the system. #AlbertaHealth #ABleg #ABpoli #Cdnpoli #MattJones

Stop the "poor Alberta" whining. We built plenty. Just not always the right things at the right times. Also maybe elect governments that don't spend wealth so poorly.

🧵 4/5

But here's the thing: I wish we'd concentrated on hospitals as much as hockey arenas. That's the real conversation we should be having. Edmonton's last hospital in the 1988.

The Servus Place and Morinville leisure centres—I dare you to find two facilities like this within 27 km anywhere in Ontario. You can't. Even small things like building and maintaining sidewalks are better here than in Ontario.

🧵 2/5

Here's what people who never left don't get: Alberta built incredible infrastructure during boom times. I saw it everywhere driving back. We have nothing to complain about. But maybe we missed building hospitals.

Side-by-side comparison of two Alberta recreation centres located just 27 km apart. LEFT IMAGE: Morinville Leisure Centre. Opened 2019. Cost: $30.5 million. Size: 76,000 square feet. Serves population of 10,000. Amenities under one roof: 1 NHL-sized arena (Landrex Arena with 437 seats), field house with 3 basketball courts, fitness centre, 200-metre indoor track, kids' play area, and meeting rooms. RIGHT IMAGE: Servus Credit Union Place, St. Albert. Opened 2006. Cost: $43 million. Size: 320,000 square feet. Serves population of 70,000. Amenities under one roof: 3 NHL-sized arenas (Performance Arena with 2,023 seats, Mark Messier Arena, Troy Murray Arena) plus seasonal leisure ice, aquatic centre with lazy river and waterslide, two field houses with multiple courts, fitness centre with 60-plus stations, 270-metre indoor track, kids' play areas, childcare, teaching kitchen, meeting rooms, Starbucks, and Booster Juice. THE NUMBERS: Combined cost under $75 million. Combined total: 4 NHL-sized arenas serving approximately 80,000 people. Distance between them: 27 kilometres, about 20 minutes drive. THE CHALLENGE: Find two facilities like this within 27 kilometres of each other anywhere in Ontario. I'll wait. This is what Alberta built during boom times. Sidewalks. Recreation centres. Community infrastructure that lasts. When we fight to keep it during busts, we are not whining. We are protecting what the rest of Canada wishes they had. Appreciate what you have.

I was born in Alberta, lived in Ontario for 10 years, and moved back in 2020 because the cost of living was cheaper here. What I heard a lot that was new was this "freedom" talk and more grievances. #ABleg #ABpoli

They are all incompetent. #ABleg #ABpoli #Cdnpoli

I hear you! Every single day is a fire-hose of crap. Its exhausting. So against humanity and decency.
