We have learned that over the next few days, Acute Care AB will be cancelling elective surgeries in Edmonton due to unsafe patient volumes. Those who have advocated for safe patient ratios and offered to work with the gov't are being given pink slips. #ableg #abhealth #yeg

This is one riding. Alberta O&G is laughing at us. "Cleanup costs for the more than 40,000 inactive wells in the riding are estimated at $1.5 billion dollars as of 2023, according to research done by TheRockies.Life. However the number could be much higher .. " therockies.life/the-1-5-bill...

We have called an “All Hands” meeting of labour, healthcare, civil service, and advocacy leaders for Friday at 5pm. If you fall into this category and did not receive an invitation email, please DM us. #ableg #abpoli

Residents of Calgary - North West: the recall process for Rajan Sawhney is getting off the ground soon! She voted in favor of Bill 2. Website is coming, but in the meantime here is the group page if you use FB. #FireTheUCP #RecallRajan #ableg

Teachers, you are not alone. We too are horrified by the actions of the Alberta government this week, dismissing your rights and sending you back to the same overcrowded, unsupported classrooms. We see you. We continue to fight with you. #ableg #abpoli #abed

Let's be clear about what happened today. Premier Smith introduced a bill to strip Albertans of Charter rights, denied MLAs the opportunity to debate it and the courts the ability to scrutinize it, and did all of this from her seat on a jet to Saudi Arabia.

Well.. Didn't have ICU Overcapacity beds opening, on my bingo card this week.. Here's your roundup of Closures, Disasters & More! open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh... /1

Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today. In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others. The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.

From the DM's... Multiple senior EMS leadership in #YEG have been suddenly terminated. The group "Edmonton Paramedics" have released a statement condemning the move and highlighting the chaos that exists in healthcare and EMS currently. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Greenhouse gas emissions from Alberta's oilsands have also continued to set new records. They hit 86.5 megatonnes in the latest National Inventory Report. (By comparison: Quebec's *total* emissions were 78.9 megatonnes that year.)

We cannot sit idly while some councillors move us back to the era of exclusionary zoning. Email council now! www.growtogetheryeg.com/action

Hey, Rebecca Schulz, how is it that your department couldn't produce any papers or reports you claim to have been funded or published on ANYTHING over the past year? You weren't lying in the House, were you? That'd certainly be unbecoming of the house? #ableg #abpoli @elmeligisarah.bsky.social

a tale in two parts

It needs to be recognized and internalized - Albertans take their very first and very last breaths in our hospitals. Adriana LaGrange and Danielle Smith have no place politicizing these spaces. The HCWs that staff our hospitals are not pawns. They are life's caretakers. #ableg #abpoli #abhealth

...Danielle Smith wouldn't intentionally mislead Albertans, would she? #ableg #abhealth

Wow... not only are we paying more for these for-profit chartered facilities, they're only taking the low-risk cases. Also, this is the complete opposite of what Danielle Smith stated in that most recent presser. Can she ever tell the truth? #ableg #abhealth

*NEW* AHS Update V.156 - ICU - Updated- 2/18/25- 193 of 224 Beds Occupied (-1) 2 Surge Beds OPEN - Capacity 86%. It's been 850 Days since Danielle Smith said HEALTHCARE FIXED IN 90 DAYS! ... That was a lie.. Buckle up Alberta!... Literally! High ER Waits in Edmonton! /1

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

Four days it took her to say anything. And then she says … she will do nothing.  Not good enough. Her own office is implicated. The investigation can’t be delivered to the people being investigated. How dumb does she think Albertans are? /1

So we can afford to spend $250,000 for Danielle Smith to party it up in Washington but we can’t afford children’s eye exams. What’s that shiny lapel pin say again, Lagrange? #ableg #abhealth

Awe. The alt-right is super upset that folks are leaving Xitter for more democratic and less algorithmic platforms. A reminder: BlueSky is still owned by a billionaire. My home will continue to be on Mastodon and that's where I will participate. mstdn.ca/@chad

Let’s be super clear… Smiths proposed changes to emissions metrics aren’t a step towards transparency. They’re a means by which to try and completely hide the impact on the environment. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

You honestly can't make this stuff up. According to the rules of becoming an intern with the Conservative Party of Canada, you must first pass a security check. You got that right. The interns need a security check, but the leader of the entire political party does not. 🤯
