I’m just a Canadian tourist (who is no longer travelling to the USA), living in Alberta, hoping for an end to the mediocre UCP/Smith wannabe dictatorship.

Every public health expert - “We need to reduce barriers to entry for vaccines and increase availability!”

UCP - “So you’re saying we should open up a month and a half window to rebook vaccines for a year from now?”

Experts - *Sob uncontrollably*

When municipal election results are delayed on Monday, remember that the elimination of electronic tabulators, at the cost of millions of taxpayer dollars to Edmonton and Calgary residents, was done by the UCP - Ric McIver - with no consultation, simply to appease Take Back Alberta.

Mentzelopoulos said Friday afternoon: “It is clear from Judge Wyant’s findings that the procurement and governance concerns I was investigating during my tenure at AHS were serious and needed to be fully investigated.”

Former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopoulos wrongful dismissal suit claims that she was fired for investigating conflict of interest in procurement decisions. Judge Wyant's report confirms much of her statement of claim.

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right

I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

Jeanine Pirro’s office tried three times to indict a woman on bogus felony charges of assaulting an ICE agent. A DC grand jury turned her down each time. So Pirro brought a misdemeanor charge instead. And now a trial jury has acquitted her of that. www.huffpost.com/entry/sidney...
Jeanine Pirro Strikes Out Yet Again In Federal Court
Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro failed to secure a felony indictment against the woman three times, then lost a jury trial on a misdemeanor charge. Ouch.

Remember when this was just “one narco-terrorist boat”? Now it’s multiple strikes, foreign nationals dead, and no oversight. At what point will Congress demand answers from this Administration?

Between 40 and 50 journalists walked out of the Pentagon today rather than accept Pete Hegseth’s new press rules allowing him to expel reporters for publishing unapproved info. Their stand for a free press deserves respect. Saying no to authoritarian control, together, is the way

How did Danielle Smith conclude her govt had the right to arbitrarily change the province's licence plate to Strong and Free, a UCP political slogan, with zero public impetus or input?
Smith has had a change of heart since she was Wildrose Party leader in 2014 when she slammed the PCs plan to remove “Wild Rose Country" from licence plates.
"I also joked that it was great to have advertising for the political party I represented at that time on the back of every licence plate.”
Alberta may no longer be known as "Wild Rose Country" — at least on its licence plates.
