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.

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.

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*

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/

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.

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):
