It’s smart of the ATA to shine a light on the issue of private schools. I’ll bet a lot of Albertans think it’s bonkers that we fund them at 70%.

And the UCP just made Albertans cost of living even more expensive!

Vehicle registration just quietly got ratcheted up.

And this is with the UCP’s minimum 7.5% increase to insurance rates as well.

Meanwhile in Killam…

Covenant Health, who Danielle Smith said never closes their ER’s…

Is closing their ER.

You can almost set your watch at this point.

It's been over 8 months since govt fired the AHS CEO and the entire AHS Board... ostensibly to make things better, and to give govt more direct control over the HC system.

An acting CEO and no Board, and things are demonstably worse on all acute care fronts.

Cut "red tape". What could go wrong? Other than people dying needlessly. Seniors and/or disabled? UCP doesn't care.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

This same person also followed me around (and my colleagues) around rural Alberta back in August to jeer and heckle us from the audience during town hall events we were hosting as part of our campaign against the Mature Asset Strategy. #ABLeg #ABPoli

This is…

Something else.

And people need to know that their government is manipulating them.

Alberta’s education minister recutting a news story for the best possible spin?

Straight up propaganda tactics here from the minister of education.

The exchanges between Adam and ChatGPT are devastating. This, in my mind, is the worst one.

One of his last messages was a photo of the noose hung in his bedroom closet, asking if it was "good." ChatGPT offered a technical analysis of the set up and told him it 'could potentially suspend a human."

We need to lay the blame squarely on those who deserve it. The Premiere and her ministers.

Here's a protip when sending in a FOIP request on ab gov : don't FOIP the actual Minister or Premier. FOIP their support/admin staff's expenses. That's how they hide it. They barely claim anything under their own names and especially not things they don't want the peons knowing! #abpoli #cdnpoli
