A dirty deal's being cooked up between the Alberta government & #BigOil so they can stick their MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR cleanup tab on YOU the taxpayer while a grotesquely complicit #AER watches & shrugs.

Poison specialist here! Vegetable oils are not poisonous. The Health Secretary - who has no background in health or science - is either lying, or stupid, or both. You can take this as seriously as you would your creepy uncle who talks about chemtrails.

Some guy on Twitter made a point of announcing that thousands upon thousands of men are descended from rapists, and we women "aren't going to like it when [they] stop asking nicely." Which, you know, surprise surprise brother, but you're also not going to like it when we stop refusing nicely.
