This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Do all opinions need to be given a fair hearing by the Premier?

The fine folks @pembina.org have done the math on the toll of Alberta's UCP government's open war on clean power. Essentially an entire provincial grid's worth of emissions-free energy projects have been cancelled. Spectacular own goal, well done, Danielle Smith and team!

You will eat a lot less gluten. That’s how you support. You can’t really do anything else. Depending on the level of seriousness, but most celiac disease gets worse in the reax as the intestine heals.

You will have to have a completely difft set of everything, but honestly the easiest thing is to just not have bread, wraps, etc and baking in a sealed container if it is necessary. We are so careful that I don’t even breathe on him if I eat a wrap or something, I go brush my teeth, etc.

We don’t live together. So I have a set of cast iron, cutting board etc at my house that is GF. His stuff is all GF and there is no gluten in his house, ever. I don’t allow it in my travel trailer either. I eat a lot less of it, but my kids eat bread etc. when he comes down I put the toaster away.

10. It’s making sure you have road snax always because there are times when there’s nothing you trust. So it reminds me of back in the day with little kids. I travel with way more stuff in my purse or in the car. Partner is bad at remembering this so I do it when I am around

7. Some of the baking/sweets can be ok at the dedicated bakeries. We don’t really seek it out but it’s there
8. There’s almost always a freezer shelf somewhere even in a rural grocery store that has the dedicated gf stuff like pizza dough etc
9. It’s actually pretty easy to eat at home.

5. Most gf bread/wraps are gross. we don’t bother, there’s only a couple of high-end places we bother with baking from, it’s not a priority tho
6. You have to interrogate the resto kitchen setup if you want to eat at a place. Like, to a level of demanding-ness that will make you uncomfortable

New cast iron! Sorry, you have to. And of course new colanders and cooking utensils. And blenders etc etc.
4. We don’t just order the GF thing on the menu. We have to be so much more careful than that. Mostly we only eat out at dedicated GF places now. It sux, but that’s his level of sensitivity

This happened to me! My partner diagnosed at age 56, and he’s not just a little bit celiac. It’s very serious. Was a year ago. We have learned a LOT

1. The reaction to x-contam gets far worse over time
2. You can’t trust buffets and most restos, I’m sorry to report
3. New cutting boards but also

Luttig is communicating vastly more clearly and honestly about Roberts and Scotus than most Democratic officials are. It’s absolutely flabbergasting.

Wow. That's bonafide courage.

The Carney government is offside from the vast majority of Canadians here. It's time to reverse course here and respect the right to strike.

What health experts are saying about Alberta's COVID-19 vaccination program | CBC News Health experts, advocates and unions are sounding the alarm over Alberta's plan for paid COVID-19 shots, calling it concerning and confusing.

"Dr. James Talbot, the province's former chief medical officer of health, said the government appears to be doing everything it can to make this year's immunization campaign a "failure" by making it less available, less accessible and less affordable."

one of the smart things that Newsom is doing here is implicitly calling out the insanity of how much Trump has been normalized by media by forcing them to think about what it looks like when somebody else does it

Great overview of the stakes of the zero-emission vehicle targets set out by Ottawa.

I think the mandate is probably dead man walking. Another related issue is whether the tariffs on Chinese EVs remain in place. A broader question of industrial policy and canola tariffs vs affordable EVs.

Scary.

Employment figures demonstrate the impact that this has had on workers. Where once the level
of employment in the sector was characterised by periods of 'boom' and 'bust', depending on
fluctuations in the global oil price, after 2012 jobs became decoupled from profits and
production levels. Employment in the sector peaked in 2012, at 38 jobs per thousand barrels of
oil per day produced. By 2023, it was at 22 jobs per thousand barrels - a 43% decrease, despite
the fact that oil and gas production grew 47% during the same period.

Important new report from Pembina Institute that gets into the details of how employment trends in the oil industry have fundamentally changed, production growth doesn't mean jobs in the way it did during the previous boom/busts and decarbonization isnt a job driver. www.pembina.org/pub/drilling...

But Bruce, how will we signal to our supporters, or the rest of caucus, who believe internet conspiratorial lies about forest fires, that the CPC leadership also believes those conspiratorial internet lies, unless we add conspiratorial internet lies to our list of β€œserious policy prescriptions?”

The citizens have a right to know that the UCP is gearing up to choose their own voters.

It is the Opposition’s job to make sure citizens know what the government is up to, especially in today’s fractured media environment.

I would never have intervened in the process when our govt did a boundaries review. It would have been as highly inappropriate then as it is now.

The question for @albertandp.ca is whether they are going to allow this to happen. Right now, Lethbridge voters don’t know gerrymandering is likely.
