Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

Update regarding @theannamurphy.bsky.social. I am sharing this on behalf of Anna. Anna is awake and has seen the outpouring of support. She is deeply touched by the kindness shown by the community during this incredibly difficult time. Anna is not accepting visitors or calls at this time. 1/

No big deal, but the Alberta government just increased the fee to submit a citizen initiated petition from $500 to $25, 000. After the separatism initiative was approved, but before Corb Lund's coal mining petition gets re-approved. No political shenanigans going on here.

As someone who immigrated to Canada this is personally terrifying Under such a system I would have been “lucky” that I got cancer after I had been here for long enough to become a citizen.

The UCP government's apparent lack of any plan at all for what happens after it closes supervised consumption sites is very worrisome and dangerous for everyone who is impacted by this issue.

As Alberta completes its first full year without coal in its power supply mix, renewables (wind, solar, and hydro) have reached 22% of total generation and natural gas makes up 78%.

We are so lucky to have @amandachapman.bsky.social. She listens, she stands up for her constituents, and she fights for a better Alberta every day. She is the best.

My thoughts are with the Jewish community here in Alberta and around the world more than ever this year as we mark the start of Hanukkah. 1/3

In their year end recap, they said out loud what they want kept quiet. Hear it here ⬇️

Literally what I asked the minister right after the introduction of Bill 14 that will nullify the “no to coal” petition. More UCP scheming and more power grabbing through legislation. How many things do Albertans need to be outraged by every day? #ableg Watch here: bsky.app/profile/nahe...

Elections Alberta has issued a press release confirming that with the entry into force of Bill 14, Corb Lund's "no coal" legislative initiative is now dead and must be re-filed. More rule changes designed to derail the efforts of those who oppose coal mining on the eastern slopes. #ableg #abpoli

Alberta country music star Corb Lund says the citizens petition initiative he had filed against coal mining in the Rocky Mountains has been retroactively killed by Alberta’s new legislation:

Can we trust government numbers on health wait times? Not entirely. Fascinating info in auditor general's latest report. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #abhealth #abpoli #abgov #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg

I just. thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

As someone who has experienced both Peterson Academy (one week) and an accredited Alberta university (5 years, oops) it is striking to me that Albertan officials were discussing "transferability." The most rigorous testing PA did is an AI-generated multiple choice quiz. thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

On #HumanRightsDay, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is once again showing no respect for the Canadian Charter of Human Rights. I am confident that next election, the UCP Government will be held accountable for blatantly disregarding human rights of Albertans. #abpoli #ableg

Happy Human Rights Day.

Via @jaredwesley.ca Danielle Smith's Dangerous Attack on the Courts via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Danielle Smith's comments about the judiciary are among the most worrying things she's said about Alberta democracy. Conservatives need to stand up to her. Now. open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

The things judges tend to like are the ones that are constitutional. Perhaps the problem for the premier is is less about judges' opinions and more that she thinks being elected should give her carte blanche and that's (at least currently) not how this works. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said. She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people." We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.

Health Minister Adriana LaGrange suppressed information about measles cases that health officials told her the public should have. Another must read from the Globe.

The completely horrible bill was introduced fewer than 24 hours prior to his decision. Maybe if they didn’t introduce bills past the scheduled ending of session there wouldn’t be an issue. This statement is satire, right? Surely

The distressing thing about this is that anyone who's read deeper than school or TV documentary level knows that, in its multitudinous, multifaceted way, the Holocaust was so much worse than I think the majority of people understand

The Alberta Legislature this morning.

I see he’s moved on from the couch

STORY: Alberta ends negotiations with two firms tied to Sam Mraiche, the businessman at centre of health care controversy www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... with @tomcardoso.bsky.social

Health care is supposed to help people, not insiders. From Turkish Tylenol to private surgical deals, the CorruptCare scandal just keeps growing. Albertans deserve answers. Sign the petition for a public inquiry: albertandp.ca/corruptcare

Wow: government confirms what Globe and Mail reported: Danielle Smith met privately with the guy at the center of the corrupt care scandal before she was even premier in summer 2022. This scandal stinks www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

At a time when Albertans are struggling to afford groceries, utilities, and rent, the UCP voted against raising the minimum wage and gave themselves a raise instead. This government does not care about the priorities that matter most to you. youtube.com/shorts/lRkCc...

Danielle Smith: "I hope people today feel a lot more confident that Canada works than they did a couple of days ago." UCP convention crowd: LOUD BOOS

Pretty cool that tonight's fundraiser is the biggest in Alberta's New Democrat history.

Sixty children have died in the care of this government over the last year. We cannot ignore the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our community, and the UCP must do everything in their power to ensure these kids have the support they need. youtube.com/shorts/L2Mmy...

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

We caught the UCP red-handed. We asked Public Safety & Emergency Services for any correspondence between Min. Ellis & the Edmonton Police Commission. They told us - twice - there was none. We asked the Commission & got 130 pages including 5 letters signed by Ellis. #abpoli

Using the voters list as a political weapon against a constituent feels like perfectly reasonable grounds for a recall to me.

Two-tier American-style healthcare is not the solution. Wait times, understaffing, and access issues won't be fixed by forcing people to pay to see a doctor. youtube.com/shorts/G5u74...

"This is not what Albertans asked for, and it’s certainly not what Danielle Smith promised when she was running for Premier." NDP leader Naheed Nenshi calls out Bill 11, arguing it's steering Alberta towards for-profit American-style health care to the province.

Fascinating given the editorial board says Yahoo to private care.

Fantastic protest against Bill 9 at the Legislature.
