Wondering if Alberta Sheriffs might need a wee bit more training before stepping up into Minister Mike's new provincial police service ASPS ... #ABpoli #ABleg #ABPublicSafety globalnews.ca/news/1170543...

🤍 This is an unimaginable tragedy tearing through so many lives ... family, friends, community. Please know many are thinking of you and sending love. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Parksy 🧵 "1 - the Premier does not CARE enough to be informed on this important HC issue 2 - or she is out and out lying and intentionally misleading the public which do you think it is?" I know which one I would bet on.

Real near-miss from an AB ED: Pt was examined standing up in a hallway - no stretchers available for a pt w chest pain EMS on offload delay, dropping all patients to the ED WR Only place to see the patient was a non-private hallway with no monitors or staff. 1/2

Immigrants are not Alberta’s problem. They’re here legally. They’re the ones serving you coffee at Timmies. Populist governments need a scapegoat, an “out-group”. For Hitler it was Jews, for Trump it’s Latinos. It’s an un-Canadian and deplorable political strategy. #ableg

Opinion: Did Albertans actually vote for any of this? edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

👏👏👏

"This isn't about team jerseys... it’s about competence." So very true ... #UCP team is truly incompetent ... across the board. #ableg #abpoli

Olympic men's curling kicks off in a few minutes. Here's my attempt at a profile of Team Brad Jacobs, Canada's "Golden generation," and how good the international field has become in recent years (h/t @cullenoncurling.bsky.social) nationalpost.com/sports/olymp...

🤍 My heart is with the people of Tumbler Ridge. In a small, close-knit mountain community, this unimaginable tragedy touches everyone deeply. To the families, students, staff, and first responders — you are not alone. Canada grieves with you and stands beside you in sorrow and support.

Nice 🧵. The math enumerates how deep the AB substandard healthcare hole has become ... "Calgary and Edmonton (1.4 beds/1000) sit near India and Bolivia" ... doesn't fix anything but maybe the numbers can help the #ABgov acknowledge something must finally be done. #ahs #abhealth # ableg

Since the CIA focus is the international community (incl. us) and since many of us (business and govt included) use cloud services for data and software run by U.S companies giving the U.S. govt access (2018 CLOUD Act) ... don't think they'll never be looking at you.

Delaying action has only increased needless deadly outcomes in our health care system. FTA: "Physician experts have not been able to find a willing partner in government to repair our failing health care system." FTA: "Failing to act is not neutrality. It is a decision." #HealthCare #CHA

Some examples of near misses in AB EDs, from severe overcrowding. Shared with govt but not acknowledged. A male in his 20’s presented with shortness of breath. Waited amongst those in the waiting room for over 7 hours before being seen. 1/3

I don't care how he smiles or combs his hair ... I'm tired of his vacuous alliterative triplets signifying some secret plan ... Until he actually talks meat and potatoes on issues with constructive intelligent plans forward, #PP is stuck and #CPC is probably sunk. calgaryherald.com/news/pierre-...

Great article ... "So, the next time government officials promise to “improve access,” we should all ask: access to what? Because without quality, greater access doesn’t fix the system — it just opens the door to more risk." #abhealth #ahs #abgov #abpoli

medicinehatnews.com/... Consider this excellent summary, exposing a lack of operational control, when you think of pts with Mental Health Concerns spending days to weeks stranded in EDs in the large hospitals. Who's responsible to ensure they receive safe and timely care? 1/2

What a game at the #Scotties! Last draw in the pool round robin. NS facing ON. Winner goes on. Loser goes home. Careful strategy, excellent shot making in crowded houses and its tied 2-2 after 6 ends. Then it goes nuclear! www.sportsnet.ca/curling/arti...

Not that I wanted my heart attack ... stent insertion ... triple CABG ... but glad it happened in 2015 ... 23 days from attack to surgery completion (rehab much longer of course) ... not happening today ... 😕

Maybe everything is on the course she engineered ... and she has nothing more to add ...

The risk to North American auto manufacturing is North America's auto manufacturers not keeping up with what global consumers want. You've had tens of billions of dollars in subsidies and supports shovelled at you. Compete or die.

Still "NOT fixed..." #ABgov needs to act ... they're letting us suffer ... #ABleg #ABahs #ABpoli

Two weeks old but things are a couple of powers more horrible today ... Given #UCP wooing separatism ... their unabashed courting of the American dream(?) ... the escalated deterioration of civilization south of the border ... can any Albertan honestly say that is where they want go? #abpoli

While many of us are doing this at a personal level, we need to encourage higher levels having greater impact. I believe our PM will play this card in partnership with the other "middle powers" against the American despotism ... but never hurts to remind all of them ... and more than once.

Huh? Alberta 2024-2025 fiscal reports: "The province ended the year with taxpayer-supported debt of $85.2 billion. Total debt-servicing costs were $3.2 billion in 2024-25" Separation comes with share of the current federal debt too...

Yup ... #CPC gotta find a leader that can operate at Mark Carney's level ... and sooner is better than later. #Poilievre is way out of his depth. #cdnpoli #cdngov

“You can build all the buildings in the world,” Jones said. “They don't mean anything if you don't have health-care professionals to staff them.” BINGO! Minister Jones! Get those professionals HERE! #ABHealth #ABgov #ABleg #AHS Sharing link www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I guess he only wants autocratic despots and subservient minions (not unlike the U.S. Cabinet he assembled) ... the times they are a-changin' ... #ForeverCanadian #cdnpoli #cdngov Trump withdraws Canada’s invitation to Board of Peace www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

👏👏👏 #cdngov #cdnpoli #AlwaysCanadian Still can't see #Poilievre able to fill PM's shoes on world stage at this level. #CPC needs a replacement ... better sooner than later. youtube.com/shorts/sWLCC...

BEYOND LOCAL: Fawn Wood sings national anthem in Cree at Edmonton Oilers game

#ABHealth care failing ... Minister Jones forced to face it in front of the cameras ... their leader? Hibernating? #AHS #ABleg #ABgov

And those numbers are from before PM Carney knocked it out of the park with his speech in Davos! Can't even imagine what kind of bumbling oratory Poilievre would've given if he were there. I think their party needs to dig deep to find someone who can compete at Carney's level. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Comparing American hegemony to warsaw pact life under Soviet rule is an amazing step. Carney really is punching (rhetorically) as hard as one can. The China move was a real policy change that follows from this attitude. What's next? CAF in Greenland? That he did this before Trump speaks? Wow.

Courage à elle pour son traitement, et qu'elle soit bien entourée médicalement.🙏🏾

"Parks sent the report a week ago to Premier Danielle Smith and two of her health ministers. He says they have not responded." #abhealth #abgov #abpoli #ableg #ahs

Before Alberta “takes the leap,” let's read the fine print www.linkedin.com/pulse/before...

Good. Get the circumstances out in the open ... analyze all the factors ... and maybe recommend changes to help stabilize our ERs. #ABHealth #ABgov #AHS edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

#ABhealth is BROKEN! #ABgov KNOWS IT because THEY did it! Total silence and lack of leadership by #UCP government .... Remember and vote them OUT in 2027 ... before they turn us into american worms. 🧵

People stepping up to help when needed! Heroes all! ❤️❤️👏👏 Seems like a good case for making Defribs mandatory in #ABSchools ... paying attention #ABgov ? School staff save Edmonton student’s life during recess: ‘Real-life heroes’ | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/1160983...

😪 Not a pretty picture...

Commendations on your quest to shine light on domestic violence. I support orgs in that vein. Please use the same vigour on calming and supporting Alberta Education for our future leaders! So far, you're allowing it to erode. www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

😪

Are you proud yet? #abgov #ahs #ableh www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Congratulations! Get another gold! All Canada will be cheering for you #EmeranceMaschmeyer ! www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

I am a libertarian ... I will fight for gun ownership rights ... but ... responsible ownership only ... no contributing to harm to others ... rendering significant responsibility on gun owners ... and when they're this STUPID ... that penalty is NOT ENOUGH. edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/p...

Always admirable to go down fighting... ...as long as he goes down of course.
