Yesterday, it was announced that Alberta hospitals are at 102% capacity.

Doctors, patients, and families are sounding the alarm, but the government won't admit there is a crisis or say who is in charge.

That is not a safe health care system. Albertans deserve so much better.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

archive.is/ur35j
First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her. Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine, Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles, What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns. Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way. We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.

No big deal, but the Alberta government just increased the fee to submit a citizen initiated petition from $500 to $25, 000. After the separatism initiative was approved, but before Corb Lund's coal mining petition gets re-approved. No political shenanigans going on here.

As someone who immigrated to Canada this is personally terrifying

Under such a system I would have been “lucky” that I got cancer after I had been here for long enough to become a citizen.
"Maybe you don't get health care covered until you have been a taxpayer for a number of years. "Maybe you don't bring your kids over to be educated in our publicly-funded education system or use our taxpayer-supported child-care system until you have a certain number of years as a taxpayer. You have to pay into the system." Smith says those who want to become permanent residents would then know "the number of years they've got to work in order to be able to receive all the entitlements of those who have been taxpayers all their lives." Smith says being a citizen or being on the path to citizenship as a permanent resident has privileges. "Until somebody becomes a permanent resident and citizen we'll treat them like tourists," she says. "As a tourist you don't ren to camahady else's country and e. calgaryherald.com d education

The UCP government's apparent lack of any plan at all for what happens after it closes supervised consumption sites is very worrisome and dangerous for everyone who is impacted by this issue.

As Alberta completes its first full year without coal in its power supply mix, renewables (wind, solar, and hydro) have reached 22% of total generation and natural gas makes up 78%.

Literally what I asked the minister right after the introduction of Bill 14 that will nullify the “no to coal” petition.

More UCP scheming and more power grabbing through legislation.

How many things do Albertans need to be outraged by every day? #ableg

Elections Alberta has issued a press release confirming that with the entry into force of Bill 14, Corb Lund's "no coal" legislative initiative is now dead and must be re-filed.

More rule changes designed to derail the efforts of those who oppose coal mining on the eastern slopes.

As someone who has experienced both Peterson Academy (one week) and an accredited Alberta university (5 years, oops) it is striking to me that Albertan officials were discussing "transferability." The most rigorous testing PA did is an AI-generated multiple choice quiz. thetyee.ca/News/2025/12...

On #HumanRightsDay, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is once again showing no respect for the Canadian Charter of Human Rights.

I am confident that next election, the UCP Government will be held accountable for blatantly disregarding human rights of Albertans.
