With headlines that the University of Alberta will "abandon race-based" admissions policies, remember that anti-EDI framing is designed to make it seem like the pre-EDI status quo is somehow 'neutral'. In reality, by abandoning sensible EDI policies, institutions are *doing* race-based admissions.

What women on the left already knew before the files came out is that men can imagine a world of class consciousness (Chomsky), a universe more expansive than ever before known (Hawking), a world where you can live forever (Attia) but not a world where women are fully human.

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

Where are the triage liaison physicians the government announced would help overtaxed ERs starting Feb. 1? The AB govt and health authorities won’t say if any are working. I asked 7 times in two weeks.

Danielle Smith says 'significant' deficits to come, rules out tax hikes and big cuts | CBC News Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says "significant" deficits are in store for the province as her government tries to grapple with low oil prices.

Your regular reminder from someone who shoukd be your favourite public finance economist in Alberta that these deficits are coming despite Alberta raking in record resource royalties even in the face of low oil price AND cruel and targeted spending cuts. Don’t be fooled

There is a reason that building the future must begin with centring the safety and needs of racialized trans and queer people. They are are most vulnerable relatives, and the violence inflicted on them will always expand and swallow us all.

Province broke its own access to information laws in withholding Alberta Next survey results The Alberta government wrongly withheld hundreds of pages of results from its Alberta Next surveys an adjudicator has ruled.

Last week, I learned an adjudicator had sided with me in 5 inquiries re: the province refusing to release results of its Alberta Next surveys

GOA published the multiple choice results in Dec but has been ordered to give me 213 pages of open-answer replies that haven't yet been shared

Alberta government hiding additional drug jail plans Newly obtained documents reveal a hidden plan to build a drug jail in Grande Prairie, raising questions about how many additional facilities are in the works.

SCOOP
A year ago, the Alberta government said it was building 2 drug jails for detainment and forced withdrawal of people who use drugs, in Calgary and Edmonton.

Turns out another was planned for Grande Prairie.

Any others? Seems likely.
