Medicine is advancing toward a future that might see tiny robots sent into the human body to rewire damaged nerves, deliver medicines to precise areas, and determine the health of a patient’s cells without surgery.

Health care must be patient-centered — not profit-centered. Bill 11 puts corporate interests ahead of care — and Albertans pay the price. We deserve better. 🧡 #ABHealth #ABLeg #ABPoli

The bug going around right now is gnarly. Started with a cough, lost voice and body aches. I’ve had a 40-degree fever, chills, and now my nose is running like a faucet. And I’ve been zapped of all energy. Some people I know are two weeks into the sickness now. #ABleg www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Dear Fellow #Albertans Listen to #CorbLund on mining in Rockies. He's not left or right. Forget he sometimes sings, he lives & works in rural #Alberta & is super well informed at the impact on our headwaters on agriculture & drinking water of 200,000+ Albertans Fill out his petition #ableg

“… the “campaign” is, at best, a ridiculously disorganized, amateurish, even bumbling attempt at what should be a deadly serious undertaking.” I’m hoping that the Lethbridge Herald can keep dedicating some of its scarce resources to this ongoing story that it originally broke.

fat bear week is good, but don't forget about borb season

400 immigrant children were kept in custody beyond the 20 day limit. Five children were held for more than 168 days. Advocates say these kids are suffering illness and injuries and not receiving proper medical care. They’re being sent to immigration court alone The cruelty is the point

CBC is doing an excellent series on Northern Ontario's jails. You need only climb the front stairs of Thunder Bay's District Jail to know how little the state cares for the people inside.Windows are boarded, paint is peeling, plants outside are dead. What I've seen and heard of the inside is worse.

‘Canada is the only #G7 country without a national strategy. We rank 64th in the world on women’s #health. This is an unacceptable failure for a country that claims to lead. The solutions are neither abstract nor novel. A 10-year #women’s-health investment is needed now..’ #CdnPoli

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.

⚠️ Premier Danielle Smith announced the end of universal health care in Alberta this week. On this week's episode of 'Whatever This Is', @zainvelji.bsky.social breaks down what it means — and why things will get much worse if she succeeds. Follow us for more. #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

“The decision to override Charter rights fails this test.” The Anglican, Lutheran and United Churches in Alberta have written to Danielle Smith condemning her use of the notwithstanding clause to punch down on the vulnerable Albertans. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

"'Less than one per cent of Albertans aged 15 or over are trans or non-binary. To override their rights knowing that they are too few to hold the government accountable at the ballot box would be fundamentally anti-democratic.'" #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Tomorrow, the Auditor General will release his report into the UCP's Dynalife fiasco. They're hoping to flood the zone this week with citizenship markers and anti-trans legislation. Keep your focus on the targets. And the broader pattern. The UCP is shifting Alberta away from liberal democracy.
