The UCP are happy to extend the contract for a private surgical company connected to the CorruptCare scandal…

…but not for the Auditor-General who’s investigating it.

Because the most power-hungry Premier & government in Canada isn’t in this for Albertans - they’re in this for themselves. #abpoli

This thread is absolutely heartbreaking. It highlights the decline of universal healthcare in Alberta.

Real ED Case in AB 🧵 :

Elderly couple 91 and 92yo, living in their own home caring for each other. Slowly declining, as one has worsening dementia, and they can no longer live on their own anymore.
No beds to place them in continuing care from the community

NDP MLA David Shepherd held very little back as the UCP effectively fired the Auditor General in committee today…

Including highlighting that for a government under suspicion of covering up massive scandals, this only makes things look worse.

N95s can prevent more than just Covid!

They stop colds, flus and other airborne illness.

They’re also highly effective against pollen, pollution, wildfire smoke and environmental triggers.

Many maskers haven’t been sick in years.

Respirators are pretty amazing.

#OtD 3 Nov 1956 the Israeli army massacred hundreds of Palestinians in the Khan Yunis refugee camp in Gaza during the Israeli-France-UK invasion of Egypt. They lined up men aged 16-50 and machine-gunned them. Between 275 and 1200 were killed stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1245...

PSA: Before this "dislike" thing gets out of hand, because I've seen some very big accounts misinforming people, here's what it actually is.

It's a private option that lets you see less of topics you're not interested in on certain feeds. That's it.

It's not a downvote, thumbs down, etc.

The NDP found their numbers!

Bill 201 would

- increase minimum wage to $18 over 3 years and then index it to inflation.
- Eliminate the lower "youth" minimum wage (youth don't pay lower prices, after all)
- Ensure tips stay with service staff.

Happy Halloween!
Did you know that the modern phrase of trick-or-treat first emerged in Canada?
Or that children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door in North America was reported in Vancouver?
This is the story of Canada's Halloween history!

And now the UCP have gerrymandered the Lethbridge ridings to split up the non-bonkers voters.

I am so fucking done with this fucking province. My exhales are all laced with that C-word that is verboten in Canada but functions as a comma in Scotland.

Remember that ceasefire everyone praised Trump for securing between Israel & Gaza?

Netanyahu just massacred 104 Palestinian civilians, including 46 children, on the mere accusation that Hamas handed over the 'wrong' corpse

HE MASSACRED 46 CHILDREN & I doubt you've heard one media outlet mention it

Smith is utilizing school boards to send out this letter to parents…

But missing from it in all of the spin is the fact that she REVOKED teachers charter rights.

Almost as if she knows that what she did was an overreach and parents would be appalled.
