This morning at the Standing Committee on Legislative Offices...UCP majority introduces a motion starting a search committee for a new auditor general. NDP MLA David Sheppard says Doug Wylie wants to stay on two more years. Wylie is reviewing the allegations of inappropriate health contracting.

4 teachers in my school alone reporting new onset of heart problems. All likely due to COVID infections because cardiologists cannot diagnose the cause. And gov't, school boards, unions continue to look away😓 More people will die due to their negligence.

🇺🇸 economy moving in the wrong directions…

Signing!

The British trade deal wasn't what they said it was, the Vietnamese are still yet to confirm Trump's announcement, and the Japanese say they're not signing a binding agreement. The White House has released the text of ZERO (0) deals, and maybe it's all just social media posts all the way down.

Sobering details on access to emergency care in Edmonton and northern Alberta. This government proves again and again that they can't be trusted to make informed, rational decisions about our healthcare system.

Note to @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social @coreyhogan.ca if you haven’t seen Tara’s Covid dashboard before-please review. Clearly we remain in a pandemic and our health/welfare are in jeopardy w backwards Prov govt anti vax/science policies. We need your help! #covidisnotover

Cmon Alberta- this is beyond acceptable- money for a new police force, that nobody wants. Yet no money for proper health care/education and charging us for meds/vax/eye exams. The united clueless party #firetheucp #resignsmith

Hey Alberta! Heads up! Rising COVID hospitalizations in Alberta. Although gov't is no longer publicly reporting hospital outbreaks (last report April 16, 2025), there are now 4 hospitals on outbreak. Rockyview, Royal Alex, Leduc, and Miseracordia. Haven't this many outbreaks in a long time. 1/

Too many vaccines in the first year?Your child is 44% more likely to survive to one year if they are vaccinated than if they are unvaccinated.

Thank you Edm Zone MSA for this strong 💉support. I suggest a couple of edits- not referring to Covid as endemic-it isn’t, the virus continues to mutate. Covid isn’t similar to the flu- it literally infects every organ in the body and is 10-30X more deadly than flu. Appreciate the support!

@coreyhogan.ca this isn’t public health- this is an ongoing drive to privatized med- it will cost more and not improve the health of AB. We need the Fed Govt to stop this in its tracks

ACOG is deeply disappointed by HHS’s move to drop COVID-19 vaccine recommendations in pregnancy. The science is clear: COVID-19 remains dangerous in pregnancy and vaccination protects both patients and newborns. The vaccine is safe and protects families. Read our full statement: buff.ly/OGue7sO

🇨🇳🇺🇸 China to donate $500 million to World Health Organization. Beijing has said it is ready to replace the United States as the WHO's largest donor, expanding China's global influence after Washington's withdrawal from international cooperation.

Several conferences relocate north of the border as Canadians refuse to travel to the U.S. Conference organizers say they made changes after members expressed concerns over U.S. travel #Canada #USA www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

theconversation.com/alberta-has-... Good read- Alberta whoa is us is myth busted

As David points out, the premier wants to use a sovereignty referendum to prevent the emergence of new right-wing parties. Here's the thing: separatist parties have emerged in the past and failed miserably. Because real conservative parties starved them of oxygen. Not fanned their flames.

Note to Albertans- why do I feel a sense of dread the next CMOH won’t be a practicing and qualified physician?? This kind of stunt is right up the UCP alley.

Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities. Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer. How is this Making America Healthy Again?

Many doctors are under the mistaken impression that COVID is over. One by one, we must learn and understand the science - it's our duty of care to do so. whn.global/why-i-still-...

Canadian land border crossings, split by same-day vs overnight trips. And contrasted with the change in US residents crossing the border. Same-day trips by Canadians are down 36% year over year, Overnight is down by 26% for a total of 680k fewer Canadians crossing the border this March.

Excellent explainer on the danger of never ending covid infections today on @zeteo.com by @juliadoubleday.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/denying-th...

Anyone else noticing the surge of desperate efforts to retroactively manufacture ambiguity from those responsible for basic failures throughout the pandemic? It's simple. Aerosol transmission was known to be a major and serous risk since day 1, requiring N95s etc. Dr. Henry failed to convey that.

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world. Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

An excellent piece from Daniel Dale, demolishing Trump’s lie that Canada has some of the highest tariffs in the world. It demonstrates just how absurd Trump’s latest pretext for his trade war is. www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/p...

5 years ago today the WHO declared a global pandemic for Covid. Checks notes… we are still in a pandemic. Please get a vaccine-mask up indoors-clean the air. 3 simple things. Have a safe day #covidisntover #covidisairborne #covidvaccine

Great crowd at #standupforscience NYC! @standupforscience.bsky.social

The market loves the tariff plan….not!! RW media blaming market crash on Biden- wake up 🇺🇸- the con is on

A lot of people are going to die from this

Appreciate this gesture, and wish governments in Canada would do more commemorate all the lives lost in the pandemic.

Paging Marty Byrd- last seen in the Ozarks- could you please confirm the massive fraud/money laundering that’s underway in AB w Tylenol/ASG. It wreaks of cash that’s flowing-untouched by legal processes- into the wrong hands #RESIGNSMITH

Saw this yesterday- can it go negative?

As Dark Age 2.0 takes hold, more of this... 👇 Measles outbreak expands in West Texas around county with low vaccination rate: www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/h... "All the cases are believed to be among people who are not vaccinated against measles..." #VaccinesWork

I wonder if someday Canadian hospitals will recognize the importance of mitigating #covid aerosol transmission. They seem willing to risk the health of patients rather than take on the burden of wearing respirators and ventilation/filtration. source: health-infobase.canada.ca
