If you want to read about what's happening at the Alberta separatists' meeting tonight, check out this thread. 🧵 Note how they just speak in generalities and promise specifics later (in 2 weeks?) #abpoli #cdnpoli

Separatist claims Alberta has no debt. #abpoli

Now is the time to fight for our values.

Alberta ERs are described as "death zones" in a shocking report leaked to #RealTalkRJ. Dr. @pfparks.bsky.social calls out the province following six deaths and 30+ "near-misses" over two weeks. 👀 FULL: rtrj.info/012226Parksy 🎧 FULL: rtrj.info/012226 #abhealth #abpoli #ableg #yeg #yyc

Reposting because it's an important point IMO #cdnpoli #USpoli #USA

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

Fucking incredible.

💯 Every. Fucking. Word.

💯 The only factors that have multiplied with the UCP are the number of patients that require but can’t access care, and the number of health ministers (4!) that preside over the system they blew up for *reasons*. Your provincial government has absolutely no idea what it’s doing AB.

calgaryherald.com/ne... I've said this again and again... it's not the machines or the beds... it's the skilled people and staff. Most big EDs have bedside ultrasounds the emerg docs can use... but formal ultrasounds are becoming more and more scarce 1/2

*Five-year-old* detained by ICE and sent to a detention centre in Texas, more than 1,000 miles away. This is full-on Nazi behaviour. share.google/1MFhMhYFwnuI...

Would you like to read something about Greenland that isn't about geopolitics, but is instead about love, and grief, and gyrfalcon nests? Here's a story I wrote once for @thelonelycrowd.bsky.social. richarddsmyth.com/2021/10/01/s...

Today’s moment of calm is my pair of Wren icons resting on a shelf. The branch they perch on reads across both triptychs One wren is singing the other gathers lichen for his nest. Male Wrens build up to 5 nests allowing the female to choose her favourite. A gentleman of the bird world

Take a moment to reset your mind. Contemplate this portrait of a mouse. Each little creature has its own unique and special place in this world. We should care for every living thing and take great pleasure in its creation and individual beauty

“Tender age” ICE shelters are sterile warehouses of terror—toddlers torn from parents, locked behind doors and cameras, soothed by none, monitored by uniforms. Childhood reduced to numbers and schedules, trauma repackaged as “care” by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The hall applauded standing up when Zelenskyy finished his speech.

Here's an idea: how about properly funding Alberta hospitals as a "province-wide response" Alberta was the only large province where real per capita hospital spending declined – by 4% over the last decade #ABpoli #ABleg

Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6

A secret police force. Alberta could be at this point a year from now if Smith gets her way.

Are you between the ages of 16 and 25 and a constituent of Edmonton-Whitemud? Then I would love to see you at my first YOUTH coffee chat where we will talk about what matters to you. Can't wait to see where the conversation takes us.

Alberta: Here is an opportunity to share your experiences in our health care system. See form at bottom of story by @jantafrench.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/jant...

A good time to relay the patient concern info: Contact Patient Relations: Phone: 1-855-550-2555 (Toll-Free) Online: Use the Patient Feedback Form. www.albertahealthservices.ca/about/patien... Email: [email protected] (if having trouble with the form).

“Both Parks & Dr. Warren Thirsk… urge people who have bad or even tragic experiences to speak out publicly.” “This is how the system continues to ignore the real problems that exist. The privacy laws muzzle physicians.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

“The union representing firefighters in Lethbridge, Alta., is calling on the president of the Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL) to resign as it formally withdraws its membership from the coalition.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Crockett: "You only love enforcement when they're going after Black, brown, immigrants, that kind of folk. But on January 6, you didn't care about law enforcement."

People are kidnapping preschoolers and macing fully restrained protesters because they like the power to make others suffer, and I need us all to burn into our memories what they’re doing now because they’re definitely going to be asking for grace and forgiveness in the not too distant future.

CARNEY: “.. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” 🔥

Sports has always been political - from the Nazi Olympics to ping pong diplomacy w China. and miracle on ice. Boycott the World Cup. Deprive US tourism of billions. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

#Cdnpoli #USpoli #EUpol #Boycott #FIFA For many reasons right now least of which the United States will use the event to target visitors, people need to make the decision to stay away from the #WorldCup2026. Attending this event gives it legitimacy on the world stage, something that #Trump craves.

For those having difficulty distinguishing Iceland from Greenland, remember: Iceland is greener and Greenland is icier.

Key traits of Hitler’s private police - Violence used to intimidate and control - Hidden identities, secret operations - Ideological enforcers targeting opponents - Loyal to party leadership, not to law - Arrests and punishment without legal process - Sent into cities to crush dissent

“We do not want an authoritarian government” “I think all you have to do is look a little ways south to see what happens when you get an authoritarian government that does not think it is bound by the normal rules that a democracy operates by.” #abpoli #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/alb...

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

January is off to a good start with something new for everyone. Literary fiction, cozy fantasy and some fascinating non-fiction. Come by and have a browse... #booksky #newfiction #yeg

As Edmontonians, we must commit to civility, accountability and respectful dialogue. This takes all of us. Honouring these principles daily will only enrich the City for the better. Let's work to make this happen. To read more about my statement here: bit.ly/4sPjrx6

Harassment and abuse is never acceptable. This past week there have been incidents of City workers having shovels thrown at their vehicles and reports of toxic verbal harassment towards them and 311 operators.

🚨 Alberta nurses need stability and capacity to provide safe patient care. Capacity means having enough staff, space, and resources so Albertans can get care when and where they need it, without long waits, long drives, and return trips to the Emergency Room. m.youtube.com/watch?v=UUl_...

bsky.app/profile/andi... Ucp must go, we’ll never be 51st. Time to bring in a new era in Alberta, CANADA. Science matters, get your vaccines.

So multiple deaths in Alberta ERs is just part of doing business?!? Apparently no province has being paying enough attention for years and the Alberta government, being in Alberta, just have to push the disfunction and lack of actually giving a shit that much further.

Former Progressive Conservative justice ministers. UCP has abandoned rule of law and democratic principles. "Olson, in an interview, says one of his biggest concerns was the government's recent move to shield past and future justice ministers from being sanctioned by the provincial law society."

Japanese printmaker Koichi Sakamoto (b. 1932) is known for his detailed intaglio prints, specifically using the mezzotint etching technique. His work often focuses on serene, snow-covered landscapes and traditional Japanese winter village scenes, characterized by a muted, monochromatic palette.

How many more deaths and how much more suffering will it take? #abpoli #ableg edmonton.citynews.ca/2026/01/21/a...
