If @cantaskforce guidelines were based on research and not a faulty study, my #breastcancer might have been caught before it spread. Asking @JasonCoppingAB to please give screening access to anyone age 40+ and help save lives (and health care costs)! #CancerScreening #abhealth

Hey Calgary... Looks like the plan to improve EMS response times is to create formal HALLWAY MEDICINE in your newest built hospital! 🧵

No plan to improve ED flow and admissions... just expand its Waiting Areas!

I went home recently to write about Alberta’s separatists. What I found was a movement dangerously, wildly disconnected from what is real.

[Gil McGowan @gilmcgowan]

More evidence that we Albertans are being targeted by foreign disinformation campaigns, especially in the context of the separatist movement. A study done for the AFL by EKOS Research shows that nearly a third of Albertans are “highly disinformed,” double the national average.

[Brandi Morin @Songstress28]

Russia. The U.S. The Alberta government. And First Nations taking on all of them at once. The separatist movement threatening their treaties is being amplified by Moscow and Washington.
I’ve been covering this story for months. This week it got bigger. Way bigger. It’s wild and it’s real. Share/Read/Comment here: https://t.co/KVWwhtccdW

Grocery chains: record profits, price gouging Canadians for years.

Also grocery chains:
“Why is theft increasing?” 🤔

[Don Davies @DonDavies]

The Liberals wants to sell off Canada's ports & airports— strategic assets that will end up in the hands of foreign buyers.

When the UK privatized Heathrow, Saudi Arabia, Qatar & China took major stakes.

Will PM Carney protect our sovereignty — or sell it to the highest bidder?

No Tax Dollars for a New Pipeline

The oil industry should keep its grubby mitts off the public treasuries.

My response to @MHallFindlay's op-ed arguing for ending oil sands CCUS, re-directing $$ to other infrastructure, like pipelines.

A special investigator RCMP veteran of 30 years states that Smith & this govt have strangled the RCMP to the point that they don’t have the resources for this investigation.
The federal government must step in. @MarkCarney @SeanFraserMP @rcmpgrcpolice

🇨🇦 Arlene Dickinson laying out the Danielle Smith UCP problem. 👇

"Sorry but this isn’t western alienation. This isn’t a protest vote. This sure appears to be a deliberate step-by-step attempt to dismantle Canadian democracy and Albertans deserve SO much better."

[Charles Prepolec 🇨🇦 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 @sherlockeditor]

Smith's position that the NDP should have reported UCP government corruption to the corrupt UCP government is idiotic. The data breach is a crime, reporting it to law enforcement was the only sensible way forward. Smith is up to her neck in this corruption mess.

[Don Davies @DonDavies]

Privatizing Canada’s airports and ports is a terrible idea. It will increase prices and compromise service. Most important, these are national security assets - selling them to foreign investors/states makes Canada weak, not strong.

[Sean Amato @JSJamato]

It’s actually pretty crazy nearly 3million Albertans (allegedly) had their electoral data posted on the web for all to see…

And not one gov’t minister, police force, investigative body, or public service agency has called a press conference to speak to Albertans. #ableg

[Barbara Larochelle 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 @BarbLarochelle]

UCP: We don’t know anything about it. And if we do know anything about it, we won’t comment while there is an investigation. And if the investigation shows we were involved, it’s no big deal. And if it was a big deal, it’s NDP’s fault because they didn’t catch us sooner.

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

By the way, this is now public confirmation that people collecting signatures simultaneously has access to the voters list.

That should be the end of the separatist petition right there.

Danielle Smith announced lower age requirements for breast cancer screening like it was a big win.

What she didn't say was this service is only available if you pay for it.

She is trying to create customers for private Healthcare, nothing more.

[Kathryn Andrusky @kandrusky]

This is presented as an access story.

But the real questions – funding, capacity, and downstream impact – aren’t meaningfully examined.

That’s not a small omission. That’s the substance of the policy.

If we are going to start offering referendums to reverse government policy, can we please start with eliminating two-tier healthcare?

[Captain Canadian @furmsies]

Danielle Smith’s ‘no more clock changes’ announcement was just a distraction while she quietly from defunded the Alberta Water Council.

The AWC protected our drinking water for 20+ years by uniting stakeholders for source water protection of rivers, lakes & aquifers.

[Adam ⚾️ @GradyTripp00]

Other services like the Canadian Armed Forces, the RCMP, and every Police, Firefighting, & Paramedic service in the country didn’t make a profit either.

So why does @canadapostcorp always get this treatment from legacy media?
