Private healthcare is only profitable when the public system doesn’t work . So politicians who get donations from private healthcare providers lobby to not fix the public system. It doesn’t relieve pressure on the private system. #abpoli #ableg

Is Alberta referen-DUH the appropriate pluralization of referendumb ? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli albertareferendumb2026.ca

The rejection of the majority report of the electoral boundaries commission and having a committee of mla’s decide new boundaries is deeply disturbing, obviously & flagrantly unethical, totally undemocratic and probably unconstitutional.

Oh gee , I thought they were banning books and gerrymandering to distract us from the coal mines they want to pollute our rivers with

From report “The use of the term ‘Commission’ in the minority report is inapplicable…. Further, to claim to use the underlying principles, philosophy, and jurisprudence from the interim report and the majority report is clearly not warranted, considering what they propose. abebc.ca/wp-content/u...

Spot on ! Joining the “oil will be forever & we’ll just lie to ourselves about how ethical our oil industry is” crowd is just saying we hope that the UCP self destructs in someway .

These machines fight tax increases too. These machines fight increasing gas prices. These machines fight smog and respiratory illnesses. These machines fight sedentary lifestyles. But mostly these machines increase joy !

These machines fight traffic. Our @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social billboard is live.

But there was this guy once who became a self made billionaire and he had nothing to start with (except he was white , male, got a good education, had health care, stable upbringing ) , so if you can’t afford an EV then you just need to pull up your boot straps and get to work. (Sarcasm)

This is one of the biggest peeves I have with urban sprawl. If developers and homeowners in the neighbourhoods outside the Henday were forced to pay (either in home price or taxes) fair value for what costs the city absorbs downtown living would be much more attractive financially.

Wow.

Very informative and insightful interview.

When asked if she’d write a book, former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos said the challenge is that a book has to be believable—"and there's just so much that has happened that is unbelievable." 🏥📉 #abpoli #Ableg #CdnPoli www.youtube.com/live/ffUHHoc...

She makes it sound so reasonable. Go back to those pastoral days when grassroots organizations based on faith would take care of the vulnerable like the sick, the old, the disabled and orphans. Why wouldn’t that work? 1/4 #abpoli

Canadians are not idiots.

Faith & charity based social services are piecemeal and exclusionary. Leads to greater overall public expense and more bankruptcies. There is very little oversight of them and a great deal is diverted/stolen . TM. Johnson, GA Zurlo & AW Hickman (2015) EMBEZZLEMENT INTHE GLOBAL CHRISTIAN Community

Happy Caturday , Happy Holidays from Walnut & Coleslaw

Private healthcare is more expensive especially to those needing it 1/3 #abpoli #ableg

The one thing the UCP and Danielle Smith do well (& diabolically) is flood the zone. They always throw red meat to their base weekly. Eg. abolishing speed cameras, punching down on trans kids or otherly abled people, approving coal mines or increasing hunting of wildlife, privatizing healthcare etc

Even through I'm not connected to the recalls in a capacity, they have become my focus Because recalling these MLAs can stop this nightmare So bit by bit I'll be posting websites and links for places to sign Making a plan to sign the referendums & recalls is better than whining #ableg #abpoli

If you're a resident of Calgary Bow Make a plan to sign the Recall Nicolaides petition #ableg #abpoli #Alberta recallnicolaides.ca

How do you stand up and speak with tears in your eyes about the difficulties of transsexual people and then a decade later take away the charter rights of those same people to feed raw meat to her base #abpoli #cdnpoli www.facebook.com/share/v/1G4Z...

Happy Caturday from Coal . Who doesn’t love a back scratch on the couch in the sun

“Premier Danielle Smith …have publicly warned that recall legislation should be used only in cases of serious misconduct or ethical breaches, not general political grievances.” It’s your legislation. If that’s what you intended , you should have written it that way. Incompetent or sour grapes much?

Necessary but also good economics. The energy transition is in full swing. Look at investment capital in clean energy, rapidly rising and now double fossil fuel investments. It’s like hanging on to your landline or driving a horse & buggy

So the UCP believes in direct democracy if the there are guarantees of the required number of signatures? What kind of guarantee? #ableg #abpoli

“Nolan Dyck, the United Conservative legislature member who put forward the reduced funding amount, said he didn’t think the government should provide more money to help McClure’s office handle the recalls, as there are no guarantees that either will get enough signatures.” Wtf ?

Look , NDP were in power from 2015 to 2019. Inflation was low, interest rates were low. Inflation really picked up post COVID . This guy’s just an idiot obfuscator . Teachers and our students deserve limits to classroom size and complexity in our public system. #ableg #abpoli

Anyone with any clue as to how expensive hospitalization costs , how expensive an ICU stay costs or how expensive a chronic illness like long Covid costs knows that a vaccination program is cost saving. And if the government had doubts wouldn’t it be better to commission a study ?

Introducing legislation to force an agreement with teachers would mean invoking the not withstanding clause to suspend constitutionally protected rights of workers to free assembly. The clause has never been used this way before and would set a dangerous precedent. #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli

Smith / #UCP: We can't afford another $2B over 4yrs. Public - that's $500M / yr. Smith / #UCP - So? Public - You put $500M / yr into PRIVATE schools. Smith/ #UCP - were hoping you wouldn't notice that. We noticed. Put tax dollars into PUBLIC schools. #ableg #abed #abpoli #cndpoli

Meanwhile …this weeks’ Covid stats (Actually surprised the unbelievably corrupt politicians haven’t ordered this dashboard taken down )

Yeah give a Nobel peace prize to a convicted rapist who’s never served time in jail .
