AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

And let's be clear who is responsible for this shit show. It's Premier Smith and @albertaucp.bsky.social #abpoli

I’m so mad. Our voting line is over 2.5 hours long. People are leaving. Parents don’t have childcare during the strike. Kids can’t wait that long. Check on your neighbours. Offer childcare. Bring an extra camping chair and toque and water for someone in line. #yyc #electionyyc

Get out and vote, Calgary! And dress warmly. Slow line at our polling station. Why does a form need to be completed for each voter?? Takes a lonnnggg time to get your ballots. #yyc

Every public health expert - “We need to reduce barriers to entry for vaccines and increase availability!” UCP - “So you’re saying we should open up a month and a half window to rebook vaccines for a year from now?” Experts - *Sob uncontrollably* #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

ICYMI: A privately owned, sole-sourced app that collects personal health information of people entering recovery programs was launched as ‘voluntary’ in 2024 to comply with Alberta privacy laws. Eight months later, it wasn’t voluntary anymore. drugdatadecoded.ca/coercion-at-...

In the last month, Edmonton had its highest, third-highest and fifth-highest EMS dispatches for opioid poisonings on record. EMS dispatches correlate closely with deaths. Saskatoon is going through the same, despite SK adopting the "Alberta model." You can't fix a poisoned supply w/ treatment. 1/

I’m excited to vote for a woman 💪. And one with such incredible credentials and experiences no less.

Christopher Holcroft: This is a moment for courage and candour, responsibility and resolve, for rallying behind that which makes us stronger and calling out those who would make us weaker. 🏒

~How sweet would it be if Poilievre lost his riding? That's through the hard work of @brucefanjoy.bsky.social pounding the pavement in Poilievre's riding through heat, cold, snow and rain and being an overall great guy! archive.ph/96j1z

Why force involuntary care when we don’t have enough beds for voluntary care? Please sign the refusal campaign if you work in health care: s56.ca #InvoluntaryCare #ForcedCare #DrugPolicy 3 minutes of your time please. Watch, share and sign. youtu.be/j18fLv8HWgQ?...

Tl;dr: AHS CEO did her job to ensure that AHS was awarding contracts appropriately, discovered that the AB govt was likely giving contracts to their hockey box friends with the fake Tylenol and they fired her to keep it quiet.

"While the allegations around Alberta Health Services implicate hundreds of millions of dollars in procurement spending, Mental Health and Addiction expenditures should be similarly examined in light of the new allegations."

Still pretty new here, and don't really know how ⬇️this works, but hoping ❤️‍🔥Harm redux folks will add to/share this "starter pack" go.bsky.app/LbHM54P

Vaccine misinformation has been SO normalized. Need scientific community to speak up (now & often) about what the body of evidence actually says! We can't let sanewashing & the middle ground fallacy win! My take (with evidence): healthydebate.ca/2024/09/topi...

This is so shameful for us as a society and for public health.

Calgary Council put evidence first—why won’t Recovery Alberta? SCS save lives, connect people to care, and reduce public harm. Deflecting responsibility onto cities won’t solve the toxic drug crisis. It’s time for leadership. By me and @katecolizza.bsky.social calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...
