Do you hear the Premier talking about it? Nope. All about privatizing non-life threatening care.
He has been asked about this multiple times and said he would do it. But this time a black female reporter asks him the question, so it gets answered much differently. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Trump on Dec. 3: โWhatever they have, weโd certainly release. No problem.โ
Not sure what's worse โ that Trump makes threats like this, that he thinks like this, that he spends a lot of time spewing out demented grievances like this. Every day he's president further damages U.S. standing in the world. His own reputation can hardly be damaged any further.

A few years ago they were threatened with a lawsuit by the UCP if they didn't retract an article & issue an apology they stood their ground & the lawsuit never materialized. Truth is truth.

This is an email that is reportedly a complaint letter to Elections Alberta that seems to make some very serious allegations...
Given the degree to which the UCP have alleged ill intent in the recall process, this needs to be addressed quickly.

UCP MLA Nathan Neudorf has friends that are interfering with the recall petition for him in Lethbridge East constituency. They have no intention of collecting signatures, their intentions are to prevent success. UCP is also attempting to gerrymandering constituencies too.

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

If Bill 14 gets the expedited treatment that the UCP accorded Bill 2, then the UCP can kill Corb's initiative and make him restart under new, more complex rules.
