Canadian COVID Forecast Dec 20/25-Jan 2/26 ALBERTA VERY HIGH: 12.4 (decreasing) About 1 of every 47 people is infected ~ 75,200 - 98,500 infections this week 😷 #Covid19 #CdnPoli #AbPoli

In 2010, Alberta was in top 10 globally (by PISA comparisons) UCP dumbing down the populace to keep us under their thumb

I don't usually do this but if you love nature & quality journalism please donate to The Narwhal. Their work is more important than ever, and are currently trying to raise $200,000 to keep the lights on. You get a charitable receipt, and a donor is matching funds. Please share 🧪⚒️ @thenarwhal.ca

'“This is autocratic,” he said. “They are playing mean games with us.”' “Our drinking water is so critical for our survival & for our farming community and for everybody. They are just completely disregarding that, and they are only looking at their own financial benefits. This is wrong.”' #AbPoli

I am currently on ID consult service. I saw my first severe case of post influenza staphylococcal pneumonia of the season today - very sick patient admitted to the ICU. Every patient I have seen so far admitted with influenza this week is unvaccinated. The vaccines keep you out of hospital! Get 💉💉💉

Why are our tax dollars subsidizing American propaganda? “The tens of millions of dollars that the National Post and Postmedia receive in funding from the Government of Canada are a ‘key pillar’ of the American-owned corporation’s business strategy.”

Worse outcomes, higher prices but somebody will make bank on it so it is the direction Alberta is going to go. Facts have never mattered to @daniellesmithucp.bsky.social

Normally not a fat shamer, but these are the man's own words. And the world would be so much better if he could just be quiet

UCP Strategy: “Hide a stinking turd beneath a bigger pile of shit.”

In honor of COP30, here's a message for Elon.

Vaccination reduces the chances of long covid and is safe. Please think about their future and vaccinate.

As a Canadian researcher/academic, it's beyond discouraging that the federal gov't is rolling out the welcome mat for foreign assistant professors, doctoral students and postdocs, while *cutting* domestic research funding and doing nothing to support those of us who are already here, doing the work.

Great news Alberta! You’re getting a provincial police force that nobody wanted! Sure, it costs millions more to set up and operate, but we don’t care about fiscal responsibility. The UCP needs a police force we can control and answers to us! #abpoli #ableg calgaryherald.com/news/politic...

Happy Halloween! 🦄 We miss you Jordan. This is from 2019. #Calgary #Halloween

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Blue Jays dedicate 11-4 blowout to Donald Trump 🇨🇦

COVID vaccines save lives, reduce the burden on hospitals and can reduce your risk of Post Covid Condition. AND it saves money. The Alberta government can not justify restricting and charging for the vaccine with facts. They are just catering to their base.

Register for your flu and covid vaccine-.for next year! UCP is really catering to their anti-vax base

Alberta beware #notocoal

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Trump announces he's sending troops to Portland to put an end to city's eco-friendliness, extensive parks and gardens, bridges, and unique cultural scene, including numerous microbreweries and coffeehouses because those are known hideouts of ANTIFA's leaders Derek and Sunshine.

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Jimmy Kimmel should have stuck to acceptable comments, like suggesting that homeless people be executed

Over in the Bad Place, Conservative MPs are faking committee meetings to make people angry. I wish I were making this up.

Aside from the effect on emissions, I thought we were so broke that we have to steal from the disabled?

It was one of the most psychedelic, bizarre and beloved Canadian children's shows ever made. Structured like a sketch comedy show around the comedic genius of Billy Van, it is well remembered even to this day. This is the story of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein! 🧵 1/19

💯 And meeting with an author of Project 2025 is something I would be enraged at Poilievre doing, not to criticize Carney would be ridiculous

I’m beginning to think that Mark Carney is secretly 3 Stephen Harpers in an “Elbows Up” jersey.

This does not have enough likes. Amazing job @jennykwan.bsky.social !

Looks like we are in trouble. Care to share any insight @coreyhogan.ca ? Not what I would call elbows up.

America, 2025

I didn't know it was possible to love Margaret Atwood more than I already did. Boom!

Too many vaccines in the first year?Your child is 44% more likely to survive to one year if they are vaccinated than if they are unvaccinated.

‪@anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social‬ When will we be sanctioning Isreal? I am so tired of our weak reaction to this genocide. Bombing hospitals, killing journalists and deliberately starving civilians are war crimes. Sanctions are called for.

In an unprecedented move, Rob Morgan, the CEO of the Alberta Energy Regulator, has bowed to intense bullying from an Australian-based coal company and cancelled a planned public hearing on a large underground project near the town of Grande Cache. Take action: shorturl.at/PhopK shorturl.at/GgmMp

You’re far closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming a billionaire. They’re not choices or moral failings. They can happen in an instant from an infection, accident, job loss or sudden illness. They’re minority groups you can join at any time.

Israel murdered five al-Jazeera journalists, including Anas Al-Sharif. They did so because they're now liquidating Gaza City, and want to silence the remaining witnesses. To Western journalists silent about the slaughter of your colleagues: Their blood is on your hands, too.

This is an extremely strong argument for requiring respirator use in healthcare. The minor cost and inconvenience will save lives and prevent disability. Support CSA #Z94.4

I believe the Nazis did something similar. Let your disabled friends know you support and stand beside them.

The Premier's own hand-picked special advisor is at the heart of a conflict of interest complaint after multiple sole-sourced contracts. Did we mention he also sits on the board of Alberta's Energy Regulator? Albertans deserve better.

This man is a stain on the medical profession in my province. No longer allowed to practice medicine, he is using his degree to sell false hope to cancer patients. He also scours the obituaries for any young person's death to claim it as a vaccine death, no matter the actual cause. Please report.

Cumulative hospitalizations = 102 (including 15 icu) as of July 5 . From a disease that’s entirely preventable. It’s:• Straining hospital resources• Endangering children and vulnerable adults• Diverting funding from other urgent care needs This isn’t just a health failure. It’s a policy failure.

“We need to be very firm with our messaging there is no such thing as a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, there is no such thing as a SARS-CoV-2 infection that does not have prolonged consequences.”

This is why Israeli soldiers kill reporters on purpose. That isn't BS, they have been caught. The IDF killed Canadian Veteran UN Observer in a targeted attack in Lebanon. defenceobserver.ca/2024/04/maj-...
