Let's do a little PRIMER on how our govt wants AB's to pay MORE AND MORE out of pocket for HC. Access is deteriorating, and all they can offer is you paying more... 1/4

The AB government and the Premier wants Albertans to have to pay out of pocket for necessary HC. Bill 11 - Dual-billing - example: pay 20 thousand for an ortho surgery Bill 29 - DI/Lab for-profit unlimited access - pay out of pocket for tests you may or may not need. 1/3

1/ Today’s spring economic statement fails to meet the moment at a time when Canadians are getting crushed by the rising cost of everything.

I gave a talk this weekend about the stakes of not simplifying our defense of democracy. Bonus 1990s movie reference in the title. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/3-simple-r...

Today,April 25,2026,working at full capacity on the weekend to dig infrastructure for new #AIBellDataCentre Bypass + Fleet St on the outskirts of #yqr These excavators were delivered to the AI data centre site last weekend(April 18-19),before the #RMofSherwood council vote on April 20. #SKPoli

calgaryherald.com/op... This is an excellent op-ed 👇, give it a read. If I might add: the numbers quoted here are if done under the PUBLIC PAY billing schedule (govt's costs) They all INCREASE when for-profit companies can charge whatever they want.... 1/3

Why should Alberta stay in Canada? The reasons aren’t just economic or legal. I hope you will read and share my robust rebuttal to those trying to break up our country. And I hope you’ll respond. #cdnpoli #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #Canada #SenateofCanada

I haven't yet heard of a data centre integrating sustainably into any area. For example, recently a Nevada energy company said it'll stop supplying power to Tahoe because of the energy required by a data centres. Ireland had to put a moratorium on data centres because of energy and water usage.

I encourage anyone interested in the future of archives, history, research, and accountability across Canada to join this meeting and help identify strategies for advocacy/awareness raising for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums.

For decades, government has chipped away at the public service. Now you wait on hold for hours hoping to speak to someone who can help only to get disconnected. Instead of fixing this problem, this government is making it worse. 1/x

www.cbc.ca/news/politic... Dress it up however you want—this isn’t transformation. It’s managed decline. And it’s squandering CanadaPost’s key competitive advantage that private couriers are using as a selling point. Shortsighted, wrongheaded and completely devoid of imagination.

(1/) Grocery giants and other corporations have teamed up with big tech to raise profits through surveillance pricing. They're using personalized data to set individualized higher prices based on where you live, what you search online and how often you shop.

Im sorry this took me a minute to respond to, the topic has been really emotionally and mentally exhausting for me. Correctional Service Canada (CSC) has not hired MLIS/MLS Librarians in a very very long time. 1/4

This is what our government is promising us in Saskatchewan. It feels like more of a threat. #Sask #SkPoli #YQR

It's been almost 4 months since the tragic WR death at the GNH, and over a week since a stabbing in the RAH WR... and nothing is improving. There has been a lot of talk, but no action. A thread🧵: 1/10

@aircanada.bsky.social How do I get compensated for a flight delay as ruled by CTA OTV?

Carney is literally killing it. A life-long banker meets an outdated postal service with infrastructure spanning the world's second largest nation- and *instead of introducing profit through postal banking* among other modernizations, it's flushed. A 98.9% cut isn't reform. It's murder.

Jonathan Pie on NDP-style socialism:

Important l essons for 🇨🇦 from the US & UK in this Guardian story. Private care homes in 🇨🇦had $2.4B in profit in 2024, in Saskatchewan $45M. In Saskatchewan in 2024, one in every seven dollars of fees paid by residents in care homes went to profit.

Deer My Friends Everybuddy is talking about and my sell phone rekerds but I think we should be talkeen about what the childrens are saying at there graduayshun saramonies because if they talk about current events that would be duhvyesiff and I am pertecting Ontario by bringing wisper jets. Premair

Men need to women up and know when to help. This is the domestic violence hand signal.

Has Canada sent the aid it promised to Cuba yet? Canadians do not want a humanitarian crisis on this mighty little island that we love. @mark-carney.bsky.social @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social

It's Evil for Evil's sake. So when world leaders try to be diplomatic about it, they're finding excuses for that evil to exist. They're giving it permission.

Why was the insurance industry given a seat at the table to draft Alberta's two-tier health care legislation while doctors and patients were ignored? Watch as Canadian Health Coalition Chairperson Jason MacLean exposes the influence industry lobbyists hold behind the scenes 👇 #Cdnpoli

WATCH: This is my favourite thing on the internet right now. Well done Norway! youtube.com/watch?v=T4Up...

We can’t let this anti-worker authoritarianism slide, which is why I tabled my Bill C-247 to repeal Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code and uphold the right to strike. We need your solidarity and support to pass this bill. Call or email your MP and tell them to vote YES to Bill C-247.

The Liberals’ budget bill hides a major threat to Canada’s democratic checks and balances. It gives ministers sweeping power to override Parliament by waiving laws for select individuals and corporations. Such extraordinary measures shouldn't be buried in a 600‑page omnibus bill.

Historian of Canadian immigration here, absolutely DYING at the idea of some large "Judeo-Christian" (wtf) solidarity animating the colonization and settlement of Canadian. And then the idea that the process "worked so well...!"

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper is in the Epstein files and it is incumbent on Canadians to demand an investigation into Canadians that did ‘business’ with Epstein. It is awful, it is uncomfortable, and it requires our courage to root out corruption. #cdnpoli #Canadasky

stateofemergency.ca/... Take a read through these stories. The Section of Emergency Medicine sent examples of real deaths and near misses to Minister Jones and the Premier 6 weeks ago, and so far they have not acknowledged the cases or even set up a time to meet with us.

Hey Camrose Area, let's have an Urgent Conversation about Health Care. This isn't about politics or ideology... its about objective facts... Is HC going in the right direction? What can we all do about it? Please help spread the word: www.friendsofmedicar...

Signed. No potential or actual Prime Minister should be without a security clearance.

thetyee.ca/News/2026... The Premier has ordered the termination and payout of over 15M in HC leadership alone since taking over. This is obscene. Think of the frontline care this could have bought. 1/5

A new report from Ontario's largest healthcare union shows Doug Ford is planning cuts that will eliminate over 10,000 healthcare workers from hospitals. 10,000 nurses, PSWs, and frontline staff – gone.

Federal petition forces the govt to respond to why they're not fighting to protect the federal Canada Health Act. The left must continue to chip away at the boulder. We have no choice but to be as aggressively annoying as possible until we get to the next election.

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?" A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen. 1/??

As we await tomorrow’s bi-weekly Saskatchewan respiratory disease (CRISP) update, Saskatoon hospitals continue to be hammered. COVID in 💩 has not been updated in report since first full week of January, when it was at High levels in many communities. 1/

This week in things Carney fans have to rationalize... 🧵

We’ve all seen all this already, but I found this particular compilation very compelling. And very sad.
