I hope absolutely nothing shocking or sad happens tomorrow. We all need a break. Nite all Love you guys 🥰🥰😴😴

Hey AB… if you want an excellent unique take on what’s going on in our HC system take a read: chaneldabell123.medi... Bang on, and witty to boot!

"The data, which has been converted from US to Canadian dollars, shows that between 2021 and 2024: TD invested $5.5 billion; RBC invested $3.1 billion; Scotiabank invested $2.3 billion; CIBC invested $1.3 billion." I wonder how much Canadian pension plans and Canadians have invested?

To the Premier: 1 - Declare the crisis is real. 2- Declare who will publicly lead and manage the coordinated provincial response 3 - Empower them to act on a provincial scale immediately. 👇

Huge props to this enormously brave woman, and to @ryanjespersen.bsky.social for creating a space where she felt safe to open up and share her important story. Come for the truth, stay for the charming Star Trek reference. #abpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffUH...

Just to clarify: Renee Good: in her vehicle, fleeing in fear—she deserved it and had it coming. Ashli Babbitt: forcefully gaining entry to the Speaker’s Lobby through a broken window during an insurrection—martyred hero. Just so we understand where doublethink has brought the rage badgers. JFC.

When asked if healthcare can be healed... Former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos seemed to have hope, but underscored that it can only be done if we start to address the actual problems & their actual causes. And it's more complicated than some present. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

When asked for her observations on the state of AHS when she was brought on board... The former AHS CEO seemed to call out Danielle Smith's leadership style of threats and intimidation and instead sung the praises of Alberta's healthcare workers. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Athana Mentzelopoulos faced targeted harassment by 2 podcasters allegedly hired by a lawyer who has represented Sam Mraiche... Asked today if she feared for her safety, she highlighted some of their efforts. (And no, Nate never considered the bribe & yes, he’s still being sued) #abpoli #cdnpoli

Former AHS CEO speaks out! Today on an Alberta podcast, former AHS CEO Athena Mentzelopoulos went right to the heart of the Wyant report, clearly spelling out how it doesn't exonerate Smith and the government. At all. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

More Mraiche. The scandal that keeps on giving.

From the DM’s… As ER docs are calling for a state of emergency to be declared… The dis-integration of Alberta’s healthcare to multiple “pillars” means there’s noone to steer the healthcare system as a whole to initiate that state of emergency. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It is at this point the USA fixes itself or falls.

I just can’t imagine what the news is gonna look like after 3 more years of this

Canadians have been known to follow the U.S. lead, but @caulfieldtim.bsky.social warns American health policy shouldn't be imported. He says s new childhood vaccine policy ignores evidence, twists facts, fearmongers about risks, and elevates potential harms. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

Take a listen…. Frank honest conversation about the state of HC in AB these days. The system has collapsed…

“In his affidavit, Mr. Edmonstone said he started being targeted days after media reported in June, 2025, that Ms. Mentzelopoulos intended to ask former AHS directors to testify in her lawsuit.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

A fantastic piece by Senator Simons! (I grinned widely at the mention of Robert Kroetsch.)

Take a listen. 👇 Our emerg system is in absolute crisis and all our govt can say is: “1000 new beds” promised to be thought about being built at some point to be determined as long as political whims don’t change before they are completed in 2035 or so… www.cbc.ca/listen/li...

WTF…. Are we next Canada?

“Trump is a gangster & this is gangster politics. He doesn’t care about international law.”—Former MP Charlie Angus warns Canada could be next, pointing to Venezuela as a warning sign. He adds Canada is showing the world how to stand up to “this guy podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/v...

You know, it’s crazy. All this insane shit rolling out now was planned long ago. When people were both-siding things and pretending it wasn’t that bad, all that nonsensical cope, this is exactly what was coming.

I saw this on another site..Not my words, but those of a Canadian. Asking as a Canadian: is Congress an actual governing body or just a very expensive group chat for people who refuse to stop the president?

I spoke with María Corina Machado today. I affirmed Canada’s support for a peaceful, Venezuelan-led transition of power — one that respects the democratic will of the Venezuelan people.

I am very nervous about Greenland. The escalation of threats is so concerning. And I haven’t seen one credible thing to quell my fears.

I really hope 2026 is just a series of slow news days.

"We will hold out hope that the current crisis will end less badly than we expect. We fear that the result of DT's adventurism is increased suffering for Venezuelans, rising regional instability and lasting damage for US interests around the world. We know that DT’s warmongering violates the law."

I’m in Oklahoma. My youngest daughter lives here. I have only been treated with kindness and respect everywhere I have been. Through airports, restaurants, car rental, grocery stores. I believe people are inherently good and kind. No matter where we are. 🕊️💕

BREAKING!!!! In response to the separatist petition… Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation is suing the Alberta, The Chief Electoral Officer & Canada for failing to implement Treaty 8 & breaching it! They are also seeking an injunction to halt the petition! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Hello. Swimming in Sylvan lake and got caught in weeds…total panic and felt like I was drowning 😞

Favourite scene…LOTR lighting of the beacons.

Breton is a Canadian company but their multi grain crackers were produced at their US plant for Canada. "Buy Canadian" and #ElbowsUp have an effect. These crackers are now made at their Kitchener plant, as you can see from the best before coding Keep buying Canadian and companies will respond

The story of the complete exploitation of the Dionne Quintuplets by everyone around them, and their push for compensation decades later. youtube.com/shorts/6FZT1...

People keep asking "why didn't the triage nurse put a pt with chest pain in a care space immediately?" Let me simplify our current ED triage state in the face of SEVERE SYTEM OVERCROWDING threadreaderapp.com/... 1 open bed and 30-50 w serious complaints = an impossible choice

Annette Dionne, the last of the Dionne Quintuplets, has passed away. For a time, they were Ontario’s biggest tourist attraction and heavily exploited. Learn their story in my Deep Dive 👇 canadaehx.com/2023/10/24/t...

I’m beyond tired of watching people hurt and kill each other over which imagined god they think is the “true” one. It’s absurd. Put that energy into making the world better for the living, breathing humans who need help now, not into defending ancient stories.

Anybody who reads about this tragic case and thinks this has to do with a HCW not recognizing the severity at triage has simply NOT been paying attention. threadreaderapp.com/... 1/14

Canada's critical role in creating the polio vaccine and proving that it was safe
