Today was a first for me, but not the one I had planned. This morning instead of running the Quarantine Backyard Ultra, I logged my first DNS. Man, does it sting! I am disappointed. But it was the right choice.… https://t.co/AM3lxoS5ck
It’s been a very long three weeks of self isolation so far, but I am pumped for tomorrow’s Quarantine Backyard Ultra. Little Miss V has had a tough couple of weeks, so as often happens… https://t.co/bqfVkLmIry
This is the demonstrably false comment made by government to @Jantafrench (in https://t.co/xRAj3xgIee). 👇
Was false then, but today’s KXL decision shows it plainly. (Not to say today’s decision bad, just that govt shouldn’t deliberately mislead to justify its other decisions.)
Regarding the KXL injection, two things:
1) If TC is teetering, then ok.
2) It shows AB’s massive borrowing capacity and strong balance sheet. Any prior statement by govt that they face such constraints (which was one motivation to lay-off education staff) was completely false.
Today we learned @yourAlberta will proceed with its framework on March 31. Adding further disruption & uncertainty to a health care system under unprecedented pressure from COVID-19 is irresponsible & not in the best interests of the system or patients.

Jason Kenney encourages Alberta employers to keep people on the payroll & support recovery efforts but doesn’t follow suit. The hypocrisy is stunning. He doesn’t have our backs. #Alberta#covid

Truly extraordinary times indeed. Question Time has just allowed on a person who knew what they were talking about. Kudos to Richard Horton here, the editor of the world’s leading medical journal, The Lancet, speaking facts to power.

⚠️ As of Friday, March 27 at 1 p.m., vehicle access to Alberta’s provincial parks and recreation areas is temporarily suspended at access points. We know this news is disappointing. #COVID19 is serious. Albertans should stay home. Thank you for your cooperation.
