My daughter visited me this summer. Watching her, I kept thinking: her generation didn’t break this country,but they’re the ones paying for it. My newest article on SubStack open.substack.com/pub/joadt/p/...

Expect longer MRI wait times, Albertans. Barely 2 months after Bill 29 passed, for-profit health care corporations like TELUS Health are wasting no time charging thousands of dollars out-of-pocket for diagnostic testing—regardless of actual medical need. www.friendsofmedicare.org/3000_dollar_...

Corb Lund: “I requested to have editorial control over the framing of my question and she looked me in the eye and said well, we have a particular outcome we want for these questions so we frame them a certain way.” WOW there it is

CANMORE and BANFF residents and Mayors, thank you for hosting #ForeverCanadian in the Bow Valley!

www.youtube.com/watc... This is insanity... listen to the Minister's answers - she doesn't answer any of the questions. Yes these docs will be able to give the SALES PITCH - "you can wait 18 months, or get your surgery done in a week if you pay 20k". 1/2

Books are seeds. Shelves are soil. The reader is rain.

That’s why I have written to CSIS asking for transparency, regular updates, and a clear assessment of the dangers we face. Danielle Smith doesn’t care about protecting you. Alberta’s New Democrats do.

Update on roof damage in UAH ED now permanent "temporary" EMS offload area: 12 pt's jammed down other non-private undignified hallways... HCWs keep using the words "inhumane". Fire Chief should go take a visit to the ED - many fire codes likely violated. Not a peep from govt.

LEDUC, WETASKIWIN, INNISFAIL, PONOKA, LACOMBE and ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE, come and claim your #ForeverCanadian lawn signs. Show your pride in Canada! #ableg

Albertans want to show their love of Canada, so we make it happen. It’s Canada Day everyday at the #ForeverCanadian factory.

You’re doing the best you can right now. Guess what? That’s okay!!

'Purple Rain' Earth's atmosphere revealed by a Himawari satellite study of water vapor in the infrared, an extended look at the turmoil in the water-filled skies of planet Earth. Each minute covers one day. Each shot covers one month. The 7h15m40s 4K video is not looped. youtu.be/bjvmUL_A20A

When EMI pulled funding on LIFE OF BRIAN days before shooting, the Pythons turned to a fan. George Harrison put up around £3 million of his own money to make the film, simply because he wanted to see it. Eric Idle called it "the world's most expensive cinema ticket."

A quick warning to my fellow authors. An online book club asked me to do a zoom presentation about.Calling Bullshit. I agreed because outreach is critical to what I do. As things proceeded, they asked me for a contribution of several hundred dollars to cover their expenses! Don’t fall for this.

Publishers: “Short stories don’t sell and are impossible to market so we are not going to take the risk of publishing them.” Also publishers: “What can we publish to fit this era of reduced attention spans when people are reading fewer novels?”

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Local small businesses supporting #ForeverCanadian Thank you!!!

Love this video from @powells.bsky.social featuring @nan69.bsky.social, who has hand-sold so many books over the years for so many authors.

RED DEER and area, join the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus and pick up your lawn sign a Sunday, May 31, from 12 to 4 pm, at the Pines Community Hall. See you there! #ableg #cdnpoli

Wab Kinew on fact-checking Danielle Smith: "Somebody's got to stick up for Canada. And I love this country so much ... if there is going to be a referendum, I don't want fake news to be framing it up."

Forever Canadians, we asked you to show up and pick up a lawn sign. You did! So great to see supporters from all walks of life and political leanings with one message in common: DON’T SCREW WITH CANADA!!!🇨🇦 #ForeverCanadian #ableg #cdnpoli

I am a nurse and a paramedic. I’ve been in healthcare for 40 years. I retired 3 years ago but I keep up on the research. Thankful I have good friends at Stanford and Mayo and a few others. Science doesn’t care about what you think. It only cares about what you can prove. Science

Today at the UofA ED: The first patient one of my colleagues saw on their shift had waited 20 HOURS to be seen! This was at the same time the AHS posted website stated <5hr wait times. 1/4

Someone just sent me a photo of this gentleman in Westlock. Apparently, he’s been in front of his residence all day, holding this sign. Seeing such spontaneous show of love for Canada fills me with joy, but he shouldn’t have to do this. He should be able to rest, not worrying. #ableg #cdnpoli

Class Mr. Karloff, class.

Join us on Saturday and pick up your free lawn sign!!! Show your commitment to a united Canada. Starting tomorrow, it’s Canada Day every day! #ableg #cdnpoli #Yeg

“Enough with new logos and endless restructuring! We need our government to focus on the real issue in our emergency health care system: the workforce,” said FOM's Chris Gallaway. www.discoverairdrie.com/articles/hsa...

Now we know. Smith committed to give separatists a referendum. She pre-recorded her tomorrow’s TV address, before the Legislature committee had a chance to vote on the #ForeverCanadian petition. UCP sent out a press release on a vote that didn’t happen, while they supposedly listened to me #ableg
