I'm old enough to remember when smoking around others was socially acceptable, in restaurants, bars, workplaces etc. Secondhand smoke was everywhere. We changed norms once we accepted that shared air = shared risk. Airborne viruses are no different

*Someone* wants 24/7 attention to spread vicious ideas by drowning out the rest of the world. There’s so much decency, hard work and suffering that has nothing to do with *him*. In 2026, I’m going to continue focusing on other things because the world is bigger than him. #NewYearsResolution

I left the #AlbertaNext farce in Sherwood Pk sickened. Two panel members were openly anti-migrant, while a retired judge and a university prof accepted the rhetoric by staying on the panel and never speaking out. Their silence is an active promotion of this hate. Truly shameful. #ABleg #ABpoli

Remember that Alberta does not have an Environment Minister. We have two Energy Ministers.

She should be ashamed of herself. She supported this garbage, after speaking out against it before the election... Never forget.

Good riddance, did this thing ever drink the Kool-aid. I guess paying the most for insurance, electricity and dying in an emergency room makes Alberta the best place to live while charging seniors for vaccines. So out of touch with reality it's pathetic. #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead #RESIGNSmith

”Take your life as it exists today. Now imagine no Canadian passport. Imagine border checks to visit family in B.C. or Manitoba. Imagine your pension, healthcare, trade agreements, currency, and mobility all thrown into uncertainty, overnight.” open.substack.com/pub/colenotc... #ableg

In case you had any doubts that “Alberta Update” is nothing more than unabashed propaganda from the Premiers office… Bruce “Spanky” McAllister, Executive Director for her Southern office and Smith’s resident lapdog for 13 years, wants to tee it up… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

#UCP #Alberta #deathcare. We need to be screaming at the top of our lungs. Be relentless

"The national RCMP union is criticizing what it calls a "misleading" report that urges Alberta Premier Smith's government to continue steps to ditch the Mounties." Of course it's misleading - it's the 'Alberta Next' panel. Right, @trevortombe.bsky.social ? #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Thread from Parksy. This one jumped out .. as the situation is very bad, but HCWs are afraid to report as the UCP may target them. UCP "values".

A dire warning for #Alberta and #Canada - one party of misfits could sideline all of Canada and most definitely Alberta’s economic future. All to own the “Libs” 🤬

David is right. When a government magics up new legislation (Bill 14) to sidestep the courts and enable the separatists' (un)constitutional citizen initiative, there is only one conclusion. Smith, the UCP & their fellow travellers are separatists. Govern yourself accordingly. #ableg #aboli #cdnpoli

We all know why this happened but they're going to go through with a sham investigation so they can come up with some lies to blame anything other than their own policies. The UCP is a death cult. Shameful!

Every. Single. Word.👇This is an SOS / 911 call! How many more people have to die before this govt. will actually do something to help? I honestly do not know how there are any HC workers still working in this horribly negligent corrupt province. I have the utmost gratitude and respect for them all.

Our teams need help NOW… We are operating in disaster mode everyday, but cannot activate the disaster plan everyday Only the Premier and govt can make something actually happen at a system wide level… Balls in their court. The blame for further poor outcomes should be too. 9/9

The Liberals sent too many immigrants to Alberta! "In light of Alberta’s unique labour challenges, I am requesting that your government immediately increase Alberta's Provincial Nomination Program allocation to 20,000 annually in 2024, 2025 and 2026." ~Danielle Smith www.alberta.ca/system/files...

Happy Holidays Bluesky

WTH is going on in the #NathanNeudorf#RECALL campaign?? It certainly appears that it has been sabotaged & needs prompt attention from #ElectionsAB. This is totally UNACCEPTABLE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yelw... #Ableg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli #LethbridgeE

Take a read globalnews.ca/news/1... Couple of things: 1 - BRAVO to this paramedic for speaking out. Let’s hope he doesn’t get punished for doing so (a JUST and SAFE culture simply no longer exists in AB) 1/9

@djclimenhaga.bsky.social: We paid $2 million for this? The report of Premier Danielle Smith’s Alberta Next Panel dropped Friday afternoon and, boy, is it ever a pitiful little squib! #abpoli

They are forcing a massive structural change on AB, and not even considering actually asking ABs opinion on a Prov Police Force, because they know you’d vote "No." $2 million totally wasted just so the govt can do what it was going to do anyway… 9/10

The report demands we hold referendums on the Pension Plan and Immigration. But for the Provincial Police Force? Silence. No referendum recommended. This inconsistency isn't accidental. It is a calculated strategy to manipulate ABs: 2/10

Govt just WASTED $2M of taxpayer money on the "Alberta Next" panel. www.cbc.ca/news/cana... While our EDs and Hosps are struggling and Schools are overflowing, they're playing political games. Here is the single most insulting contradiction in that report:. 🧵 1/10

I think you’re exactly right. The UCP’s are determined to move ahead on a provincial police force. And it’s not about better service, it is about a power grab and exerting more control over the people of Alberta.

This👇 is the current state of emergency services in AB Endless Red Alerts = no ambulance available to respond This is on the govt to protect its first responders and ALL Albertans When’s the last time the Premier discussed how her govt will improve this? (Other than 90day fix promise)

Barton is a conservative hack dressed up like a journalist. I used to be a CBC supporter but haven’t watched CBC for the past couple of years because of her and her continued lack of respect for our PMs, both Trudeau and Carney. She’s arrogant and full of herself and falls all over creepy PP.

Rosie was rude. You agree? www.youtube.com/live/apc56_9...

Danielle Smith’s Bill 11 pushes Alberta toward a US-style, two-tier healthcare system. Fast lane for the rich. Slower care for everyone else. New fees where care was free before. Take action now at: NoTwoTier.ca/CanadaHealthAct #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

Rosemary Barton's combative year end interview with Prime Minister Mark Carney was pathetic. Seems Rosie was trying to appear super duper serious. Cos play failure, and a distraction to authentic discussion. Replace her, CBC NEWS!

Danielle Smith’s Alberta Next Panel report has dropped and, boy, is it ever a pitiful little squib! albertapolitics.ca/2025/12/dani...

Alberta Next - what a surprise. youtube.com/watch?v=d-xd...

It would be nice if our newly appointed CMOH, who actually has Public Health Experience, will be allowed to increase transparency of ourtbreak reporting at ALL AB facilities... Time to put the "public" back in Public Health!

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that acceptance of antivax rhetoric has increased as access to family doctors has decreased. When people had a family doctor they’d known for decades - who cared for their parents and their children - they trusted their GP’s advice.

They Ignore the actual facts. Prior to vaccines people did eat healthier and food additives were few. Yet babies and children died in large numbers. It wasn’t food that stopped Polio or Measles , it was Vaccinations.

Just read more antivaxxer garbage about replacing vaccines with healthy food and exercise to boost immune systems while more babies die of measles. Vaccinating widely is how we protect Littles too young for vaccines - no exercise will protect them. WTF with these people #vaccinessavelives

Danielle Smith “no longer has any credibility when she says that she’s not a separatist. She changed every rule in the book, just for separatists. Then…she closes the doors again.” #cdnpoli #Canada #Alberta #abpoli #ableg #yyc #yeg #CanadaSky #ForeverCanadian albertapolitics.ca/2025/12/havi...

"Progressive" - the belief that govt has a moral obligation to build, maintain, and steward public institutions for the common good, rather than burning them down in the name of "freedom" and profit. Please take a read👇, and share widely w ALL ABs

Danielle Smith suggests two tiered Canadians, 10 yrs to qualify for benefits, and it barely makes a blip in #cdnmedia If it were a Liberal, the front pages would be swarmed. We're being played. #cdnpoli
