Some interesting data here, that needs to be shared widely, especially within the #CON community, to counter their continuing false narrative in #Alberta.

Yeah wouldn't this be some kind of treason? I don't know the laws here (never thought we would need to check on this sort of behaviour)

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.

We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

Braid: Health contract allegations could be worst scandal since Alison Redford Premier Danielle Smith's UCP in trouble over allegation of improper contacts, political meddling in private surgeries. Need public inquiry.

β€œThe basic questions are crucial: is the government rewarding friends in private health companies with lush contracts?

Are government MLAs and ministers getting favours in return?”
