My body clearly hates me and I am a bit cranky.
Nothing I have is curable, so don't pester me with "Cures".

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

“When you are waiting for the results to come in, especially in a close race like it was in 2023, you are surrounded only by [your] absolute closest advisers,” Mr. Nenshi said”

And Mraiche was with Smith’s elite.

Prime Minister Mark Carney disagrees with the concept of a premier of one province unilaterally taking over a different province but his hands are tied by his unwillingness to do anything about it.

Everything else aside, the first test for whether anyone is "pro-life" is to see what personal effort they're putting in to protect others from unnecessary infections like COVID.

If they're only "pro life" when it's about what other people should be forced to do, it's just extremist virtue-signals.

Had an interesting debate with a consultant from Montreal, telling me what I see every day on the frontlines in AB isn't really as bad as I think... and if it is then allowing more HCWs to leave hospitals will fix it...

Even the Churches are opposed to Bill 9.

It’s a simple message. Treat everyone with basic dignity and respect, not hate or harm.
“The decision to override Charter rights fails this test.”

The Anglican, Lutheran and United Churches in Alberta have written to Danielle Smith condemning her use of the notwithstanding clause to punch down on the vulnerable Albertans.

Alaberta Smith is claiming:
•Judges aren’t elected, so they don’t have legitimacy.
•Courts “overstep” when they disagree with her.
•The notwithstanding clause is her tool to override “incorrect” court decisions.
•SHE gets to decide what is “correct,” not constitutional law.

Welcome to Alberta where complete wing nuts are now free to spew dangerous harmful lies and pretend it's a sound professional opinion. And why not our Premier Danielle Smith does it on a daily basis and made a career of it on her radio show. We don't need American style free speech!

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

Since we in Alberta are hearing the phrase “elective surgery” bandied about so freely today, it doesn’t mean a nice to have surgery it means a surgery that can be scheduled. So say you have uterine cancer and you are not in the ER dying. Your surgery to remove your uterus is elective, scheduled

During the same week that the UCP is expanding privatization, the auditor general finds that government interference cost taxpayers over $100 million.

How can anyone deny it’s the government that’s the problem?

So Dani’s right hand man just publicly admitted that he doesn’t actually know how puberty blockers work.

But with his full chest he’s braying as if he does.

This is the perfect encapsulation of the problem.

(Braying wasn’t a typo BTW)
