Another terrorist attack in Ukraine. Unacceptable evil.

Just so everyone is clear: the valve here releases pressure that would otherwise build on her leadership from within her party.

She would rather lose the country than her own job.

“Our findings indicate that climate change could lead to 123 million (projection range 49.5 million to 203 million) additional malaria cases and 532,000 (195,000–912,000) additional deaths in Africa between 2024 and 2050 under current control levels.”

An Instagram post from the Assembly of First Nations reading: Important Travel Advisory The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) has heard reports that some First Nation citizens have been subjected to increased questioning and detainment by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The AFN strongly condemns these actions and reaffirms First Nations’ inherent and Jay Treaty rights to cross-border mobility. The AFN advises any First Nations members traveling to the U.S. to carry valid identification, including a Status Card or a Canadian passport. Anyone requiring assistance with Status Card applications, renewals, replacements, or urgent processing related to travel may contact Indigenous Services Canada’s Secure Certificate of Indian Status (SCIS) Program at 1-800-567-9604 or visit www.canada.ca/indigenous-services-canada. Please note that federal law enforcement may not be familiar with Tribal IDs. If an ICE agent does not accept your Tribal ID as identification, the Native American Rights Fund recommends that you request to speak to their supervisor. In emergency cases, Canadian citizens in the U.S. can contact the Canadian Consulate for assistance through 1-613-996-8885.

I’m not sure how much notice this has received but the Assembly of First Nations in Canada has issued a travel advisory for the United States after reports that Indigenous people are being increasingly questioned and detained by ICE. www.instagram.com/p/DT-_SacDEH...

I hope our ambassador is filing a complaint about this incident. No one is safe.

Two years ago, private companies were lined up to build new renewable energy powerplants in AB, w/ ZERO subsidies from the AB government. We led the country by a wide margin.

Then, oil lobbyist Danielle Smith happened.

First to last in just two years.

Thanks, Dani 😞.

I am hoping all my MLA colleagues will do the same.

Shame on Canada

The fact that the UCP intentionally sabotaged the rapidly growing renewable energy sector in Alberta, potentially costing us billions of dollars and thousands of jobs to throw a bone to their owners in the O&G industry should be a far bigger scandal. #ableg #abpoli

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

And here again is Corb's website where you can sign up to assist. If you've already signed up I expect Corb will contact you soon. The legislation prevented from unleashing the campaign until the petition was approved.

The government should not allow this and should replace the order with one for equipment Ukraine needs.”

Alberta ER waits fuel concerns, hospitals strain in Canada Long waits, staffing shortages and overcrowded emergency rooms are fuelling growing frustration in Alberta, concerns that reflect mounting pressure on hospitals across the country.

Long ER waits fuel public concern in Alberta as hospitals strain across Canada

A social media post by Donald Trump, President of the United States, in response to the murder of an US citizen by ICE agents in Minnesota, which reads: He had a gun. Only criminals carry guns on our streets, we need law and order. Thank you for you attention to this matter. President Donald J. Trump.

From God’s lips to your conservative ears:

“Only criminals carry guns!”

I think it’s time every law officer and gun-owning conservative turn in their assault-style weapons that they claim they need for “hunting”.
