Absolutely vile. There is zero excuse for such disgusting disrespect of one of our young citizens. Alberta, pay attention. This IS the UCP. This is TBA. This is the APP. Kick these foul self-serving pigs to the curb and restore some decency to our province. This is not acceptable!!

“Corporate filings show that the numbered company, 2464052 Alberta Ltd., was established on Oct. 7, 2022, and listed three directors at incorporation: Mr. Prasad, Mr. Iskiw, and Khalil Mraiche, the business’s sole shareholder.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Also, let’s not forget this fun little data point… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

In Canada... 👇 Acetaminophen is a recommended treatment for fever and pain during pregnancy recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-rec...

I can't see with all the smoke that this scandal is giving off. At what point does the Premier, finally, announce a public inquiry? This is not about restructuring health care in Alberta, it is corruption.

I don't like talking about the hate & abuse I received in politics. I don't need sympathy. But we do need change. And I promised to support women & girls who want to go into politics. So here is my story. We need to stop this. Now. 🔗 thewalrus.ca/they-called-...

Celebrating mifepristone, a hero in modern abortion access, on its 25th anniversary in the U.S. www.statnews.com/2025/09/28/m... via @statnews.com "...we have mountains of data that reinforce the findings of early studies documenting its safety." "...under attack by the anti-abortion movement..."

From the DM’s… We’re told that at 9 AM yesterday in #YEG (peak emergency time that that is) there were no ambulances available. But as Smith said on her radio show, if HSAA would just accept an insulting contract offer, everything would be perfect! (It wouldn’t) #EMSCrisis

Well.. Buckle up folks, because this is an UGLY AHS Update V241 tonight.. Hospital units closed for over 2,000 days.. OR's now closed until further notice.. Service downgrades.. ER Closures.. Here.. We... GO! open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh... /1

🚨We must standup to the bunk! We can't let lies win. - Vaccines ≠ autism - Ivermectin ≠ cure for cancer, autism, or COVID - COVID vaccines ≠ "turbo cancer" or "sudden death"! Our statement, signed by over 20 leading health orgs, healthydebate.ca/2025/09/topi...

New! Danielle Smith's former Chief of Staff personally oversaw the hiring of two family members of embattled healthcare MHCare CEO Sam Mraiche to government policy advisor roles while multiple contract scandals were unfolding. Part 1 of 3! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/thebreak...

As we scale up renewables, one thing becomes crystal clear: without storage, the energy transition will stall. Batteries aren’t just for cars. They’re also crucial for grids, industry, and heating. Great short from DW.

If you’re interested in the Calgary election, the @ragyyc.bsky.social & I volunteered to put together #Indigenous questions around #Reconciliation to ask #YYCCC & CBE candidates. I would add the answers you get if you don’t see your ward candidate listed here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

“Trump’s U.N. speech was a textbook example of what’s come to be known in science communication circles as the ‘gish gallop,’ wherein anti-science promoters attempt to overwhelm you with a fire hose of plausible-sounding but fundamentally false claims and talking points.” — @michaelemann.bsky.social

From the DM's... A message from a teacher that all of us should read, but is clearly meant for other teachers as they navigate this weekends vote. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #ABED

The Canadian women went into this World Cup as the underdogs, and came out with a silver medal. Nothing but pride in our team. They played with dignity, fought hard, and won hearts while doing so. No team is as strong & unrelenting as the Roses. Our women were outmatched, but held their own. 🫶🇨🇦

If you live in Calgary, look at what @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social is doing for the upcoming municipal election and consider subscribing. Jeremy and his team are producing amazing original explanatory journalism in the public interest. mailchi.mp/sprawlcalgar...

Today's essential listen for all who care about patient and HCW safety. Dr. Iris Gorfinkel talks about masking policies in health care settings as cases of COVID-19, flu and RSV rise www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

A step in the right direction?

I am really really excited for this game. And I have never watched rugby in my life. Wishing our Canadian women a fantastic game full of the grit, grace, and astounding athleticism they displayed with the Black Ferns. Go 🇨🇦!!

If you voted for him, you've done this.

"...these ‘traditional’ values might seem like a refuge. But in actuality, Christian nationalist and far-right movements recruit white women into supporting the very movements that are challenging and removing their rights." Yup. Internalized misogyny is a helluva drug.

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health, wait until you see what guns do.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

This👇! "What these people do, is that they search, they find one paper or two papers that make an outlandish claim based on bad data that hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands of other papers refute." Claim Covid vaccines persist is ‘absolutely impossible’ www.statnews.com/2025/09/20/d...

To counter Trump’s statement about Tylenol and pregnancy, this from Canada ⬇️ Pregnant women ‘should not feel guilty’ about using Tylenol: Ontario Pharmacists Association - there is no link to autism #Canada Trump is an idiot!! www.ctvnews.ca/video/2025/0...

Very proud of Alberta students today. They stood up against a bigoted, sexist, corrupt government and showed every adult in this province how it's done. This picture and message especially resonated with me. For shame, Danielle Smith. For shame, UCP. Unfit to lead.

From the DM's... Received this from a teacher who wanted to highlight what kind of reforms are actually needed to make sure that Alberta's students and teachers get the funding they so desperately need. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed

Autism isn't a disease It's a developmental difference, part of the natural diversity human brains. Framing it as a disease fuels stigma. (It doesn't need to be "cured" with oversold supplements based on thin scientific evidence 😒)

Well.. The fuckery doesn't stop with the Government.. Major OBGYN units closed, ER's closed.. 10+hr wait times already.. oh and COVID-19 is back with a kick.. maybe a stomp.. not sure yet! open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh... @frazzleheadlc.bsky.social Be safe!

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

Sign. Seems like an uphill struggle, but we need to have rights. Rights that can be taken away by the provinces are not rights. takeaction.ccla.org/help-save-ou...
