So they are continuing to use taxpayer dollars to pay over double/procedure. Instead of funding surgical capacity in our hospitals. And are forcing private pay down our throats destroying Medicare?! The bad governance and fiscal management is astounding.

With enthusiastic approval from separatists, Alberta’s government makes it even easier to put referendums forward — questions don’t even need to be factually accurate before people can start getting signatures. From @reportrix.bsky.social and me today: www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/alb...

This seems especially dangerous, given that a number of Alberta’s conservative justice ministers have been involved in some shady stuff. Tyler Shandro Kaycee Madu Jonathan Denis

They did the teachers dirty. We knew it in our hearts, but now the proof, and it's gross. Damn. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The MOU with Alberta is deeply disappointing. It sacrifices climate policies, places too many eggs in the industrial pricing basket, proposes a pipeline deal that would increase emissions, and would have Canada double-down on fossil fuels at a time the world is moving towards clean energy.

This resignation is worth noting. @simondonner.bsky.social is a man of impeccable integrity. If he is saying the process, and the politics, is compromised and broken, that does not bode well for climate action in Carney's Canada. www.theenergymix.com/breaking-don...

Carbon Carney. 💔 "climate researcher scorched the PM for defying basic science after he declared his government’s definition of “nation-building” projects might include “decarbonized” oil. There is no such thing as decarbonized oil and gas,[..] Oil contains carbon. It is high school chemistry."

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

If the UCP proposed to change the rules for industry as frequently & precipitously as it does for elections and direct democracy, industry wd scream & the UCP wd back down. Evidently the UCP cares more about industrial certainty than certainty about the rules for democratic process. #abpoli #ableg

The UCP undermines the rule of law EverySingleDay.

Recently revealed documents show UCP staff toured a potential Recovery Centre site, just before the man at the centre of the CorruptCare allegations bought the building. None of this was reviewed in the Wyant Report. 1/2 🧶 #ABLEG #ABPOLI #CorruptCare

Nenshi - Didn't you learn anything from that time you were found to have broken the law trying to interfere in the legal process? Dani - I control the police now! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Private practices won’t fix Alberta’s wait times healthydebate.ca/2025/12/topi...

My MLA 9/10 never responds to me. No matter how well written or well cited my emails. He did today, over two weeks after I emailed him about two tier healthcare. He(or his staff)didn’t even bother to change the colour of my name name that was copy pasted onto the script sent.

Alberta government awarded PR firm sole-source $200K contract to run education campaign to sway public opinion during teachers' battle www.townandcountrytoday.com/beyond-local...

I concluded this weeks ago. They didn't hide it. The UCP didn't have to use the notwithstanding clause. They wanted to, in order to avoid an arbitration process they knew they'd lose. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

👀 These allegations are damning, and suggest corrupt government dealings in mental health and addiction. It is long past time for a public inquiry to sort this all out. #ableg

🚨BREAKING!🚨 The NDP revealed yet another real estate deal involving Sam Mraiche and seemed to raise concerns he was might have been given the heads up to buy the building by someone in government! If you watch 2 minutes today, make this it! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

What is going on in Canmore?! Seems like wealthy second home owners not from the area are mad about taxes…

Every right-wing movement is mirroring the others, and it will be Canada's turn soon enough

This. Is their solution just firing people when their agenda fails the system while people suffer as a result of their decisions?!

Just egregious incompetence on the part of the UCP at this point.

www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/03/n... I don’t know what the Liberals were thinking. Appeasing Smith and backing down on climate action is not a positive path forward.

Finally, someone mentions Alberta's devastating environmental record. Of course Coastal First Nations can't trust Alberta. Albertans can't trust Alberta! Why didn't Carney make cleanup a condition along w/ lifting the renewables ban? Or should we leave that up to the next generation to solve too?

Hi. icymi ->

Please read this. And forward these concerns to our health ministers.

Overhead today, “My son’s entire hockey team is sick after tournament on the weekend. All the coaches too, and most of the parents.” While not nice to contemplate, covid is still infecting people, damaging our immune systems and triggering disability. #maskup www.ajpmfocus.org/article/S277...

Or they are privileged. In my experience it’s a certain demographic in favour. White, Gen-x &millennials and reliably employed. And yes, the people who would profit.

Almost everyone who touts the benefit of private healthcare is hoping to profit from private healthcare.

Late to this, but this is just fantastic reporting and context. There are so many alarm bells and blinking red lights in here, and if you read carefully you can see what sure seems like the potential litigiousness of the subjects being handled with care, duty, and facts.

A few companies have made a great deal of money under the Alberta Recovery Model and there's little to show that they have actually delivered on the outcomes Albertans expect. Are people's health outcomes better off with a two-tier, American-style healthcare? The answer is almost always NO.

How can Danielle Smith claim to barely know the man at the center of the CorruptCare scandal when she's had dinner at his house, met with him multiple times, and her closest advisors include five members of his family? youtube.com/shorts/pvkgA...

In the last few weeks we've talked to nearly a thousand concerned Albertans—And we're just getting started. We have big plans for the new year! Don't miss your chance to take part in this Urgent Conversation about YOUR public health care. ➕ Stay tuned for an event in your community TBA!

Glad it was defeated… but wow. This is just beyond comprehension. So much cruelty. For what?!

I own a warm home and a car and will benefit from this budget. Calgary’s most vulnerable will be challenged by this change, and it will be used as an excuse to round up our houseless population. Was a plan to get them into warm homes discussed? Shameful.

“We’re cutting away at access points for the poorest Calgarians when we start making these moves.” “We just decreased taxes for Calgarians but with this move, we’re going to eliminate any benefit of that increase for the ones who need it the most." calgaryherald.com/news/council... #yyccc

I have no patience for misinformation. It’s incompetence. Obviously new pipelines set us backwards and increase emissions thus, increasing our negative impact on climate change.

Doesn't make sense. All they had to do is actually negotiate. Sounds like an attempt at justification for taking away Charter Rights from Albertans for 5 years.

Well he sure said the quiet part out loud. So responsible governments should violated Charter rights to… save money?! Speechless.

The UCP education town hall is more disgusting than I even imagined it could be. Scapegoating children and immigrants. For their failures. Saying children should “earn their way into a classroom.” Implying peace officers should be used to deal with behaviour struggles. Not adequate funding.

🤦🏻‍♀️you can’t run a growing complex city on 0% increase in taxes that is hell bent on building roads and communities everywhere

Good golly we need better municipal public finance knowledge on #yyccc than cut taxes

Hi Folks.. Still alive.. Some how.. World's throwing a lot at me right now, so I haven't been on here much.. But here's the latest weekend roundup of UCP Hellcare.. errr healthcare.. @frazzleheadlc.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh...

🙄🙄🙄 My councillor’s “team” has been just delightful to deal with on this… not. So incredibly short sighted in a housing crisis. If we lose HAF money, anyone know if these new conversions would lose that money or are they already funded federally?
