Political agendas override evidence, this is the UCP over and over. Ideology over science and facts. In health care, and addictions care, make no mistake, this is costing some Albertans their lives.

This led to a $4.8 billion contract signed with DynaLIFE Dx (DynaLIFE) in May 2022, with service delivery scheduled to begin in December 2022. Eight months later, in August 2023, AHS terminated the agreement at the request of DynaLIFE’s owners. Given the significance … Continued

Govt promises “guardrails” to come and that lifesaving care will be unaffected, but if they can’t manage outsourcing labs, how will they manage a two-tier system for emergencies, surgeries, and cancer care?

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

I’m the parent of an autistic kid. What CDC is doing here is offensive.
It’s offensive to me. It says his autism is the result of my ignoring evidence.
It’s offensive to my kid. It says there’s something wrong with him (there’s not) and it would be better to risk literal death than be autistic.

Initially, some moms of autistic kids eagerly accepted vaccine lies, because that way they could reject the "refrigerator mother" hypothesis, which blamed autism on "cold" mothering.
Now, those same tired vaccine lies will likely be used to blame moms who choose to vaccinate their kids.
