it won’t cut costs. More people will be hospitalized with Covid because they can not afford the costs. Not only is her decision penny wise and pound foolish it is cruel.

Braid: UCP's $100 fee for COVID vaccination is wrong and dangerous Alberta is now the only province to charge for a vaccination against an illness that has killed 8,000 in the province. COVID fee is wrong.

Is the UCP trying to save money on COVID vaccination, or end vaccination? In either base the $100 fee is wrong and dangerous. Column.

β€œThe UCP gov’t’s disdain for the vaccine couldn’t be more obvious.

The positive choice, which [the UCP] rejects, is to devise a free-of-charge system that doesn’t waste.

Alberta is now the only province to make people pay for protection against this terrible illness.

It’s plain wrong.” #ableg

If true, this is what will happen: Canada, Europe, and India will immediately dominate the global mRNA COVID vaccine market, worth multiple tens of billions of dollars. Canada will see an influx of American vaccine tourists. Cha-ching for us, if we play it right.

Post Headline: Trump moves to fire top Federal Reserve official Lisa Cook
The president moved to oust Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook over unproven allegations that she committed mortgage fraud, ratcheting up his push to bend the independent central bank to his will.

Trump Says He Is Removing Lisa Cook From Federal Reserve Board

President Trump took the extraordinary step of moving to oust Ms. Cook in a legally dubious maneuver that could undermine the independence of the nation’s central bank.

I called on the πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ govt to guarantee, no-cost access to COVID-19 vaccines, including for every child under 12.

Under the Canada Health Act, every Canadian deserves equal access to care no matter where they live, or how badly their provincial gov’t ignores science, health guidelines & their citizens.

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.

He's turning the homes into a compound.

That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.

I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

During the so-called decade of federal β€˜attacks on oil,’ Alberta oil giants set records for production and profits, writes Jim Stanford. So why is the average Albertan not getting their cut?

~WOW!! Every Single Albertan needs to read this!
It's all we've been saying& MORE in one tidy package

There’s never been more oil wealth generated despite the Libs in Ottawa

There is no province where real incomes&living standards have deteriorated more in the past decade than AB

All kidding aside, the biggest reason to keep Poilievre out of Parliament is to change the tone. We can't operate as a civil nation when one party leader exists only to attack the other. Civil debates and factual discussions, not personal attacks and three-word slogans, please.

Trading the Mountie for a maybe: Alberta’s risky police makeover - The Gateway Alberta’s plan to launch its provincial police service is picking up speed. But the people expected to make it work aren’t convinced.

A solid piece from Breckyn Lagoutte on the UCP's push for a provincial police force:

"...major changes require more than slogans & speed. They need real consultation, clear budgeting, & buy-in from the people doing the work.

The province seems more focused on headlines than handcuffs." #abpoli
