40 years ago today, Ferris Bueller took the day off school What was your favourite scene from the movie?

Alberta physicians standing up for patients’ rights to care and physicians’ ethical duty to care 👇 The UCP have gone too far with their government overreach into your healthcare.

An historic legal challenge from Canada’s physicians’ association to the Alberta government. Bill 26 is harmful to gender diverse patients and sets a dangerous precedent of putting politicians in the exam room, overruling patient’s decisions that they have made with their doctors.

Working on a talk gives enough time to bake some bread on the side… the house smells amazing!!!

Premier talked about paying higher rates so they can pay for the cost of building the CSF Debate exists if taxpayers should pay for any/all of the infrastructure costs BUT, consider this: does it make sense to pay for CSFs if Hospital ORs sitting empty? https://buff.ly/3XcssSG

Hey, Canadians, you know what to do.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 www.cbc.ca/news/world/e...

Worth your time to read if you live in Alberta (and to those outside of Alberta - watch what is happening here as it could easily happen to your healthcare system) 👇

Anyone else remember these?

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Until we can start reframing our approach to health as preventative rather than reactive, we are never going to solve our health system failures. @picardonhealth.bsky.social @fionamattatall.bsky.social @naheedd.bsky.social @caulfieldtim.bsky.social

This is critical to remember👇 Skilled HCWs are doing their best in an environment where govt constantly makes the job more difficult. The Premier has 100,000 Albertans working in AHS, and all she can do is vilify and handcuff it…

I don’t want to hear about your regrets. Take heed Canada - let’s not repeat the error of Americans. #conservativesdontcareaboutyou #neverpoilievre #vote Full video link ⬆️

With all going on in Alberta politics regarding the healthcare system right now… … your reminder that the care you receive is directly thanks to the amazing humans who work on the frontlines: the nurses, the doctors, the clerical staff, allied health, support workers 💖🧑‍⚕️

Honestly, this guy. He’s so upbeat, so genuine, so optimistic. A bridge-builder. And this video shot in the snow is visually stunning.

I seem to recall back in the day Rick Mercer did a bit with a chalkboard to explain complicated political "situations"... wonder if we could get someone to do this for us now? (personally think @lisab0923.bsky.social would do an amazing job laying it all out!)

Today's story --> Alberta Premier Danielle Smith calls for expedited review of ‘troubling allegations’ at Alberta Health Services: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w/ @alannasmith.bsky.social

The Health Sciences Association of Alberta is calling for an investigation following The Globe's story on allegations of political interference and private surgical contracts at Alberta Health Services. “This isn’t just mismanagement—it’s a scandal," Mike Parker, HSAA's president, said.

Science is based on facts, not ideology. We asked *real scientists* and they agreed! 🥼 🔬🧪

Watching a gifted artist discuss how she had no health coverage in America. How is even the most basic health care not a human right in the USA? This Canadian looking south just shakes her head. #GRAMMYs

As of this moment, Canadians are united as one in defiance of tyranny. Americans? Most Americans have no idea that the idiot monster they elected because they forgot to vote has started a massive trade war that will upend their lives.
