@gilmcgowan 100% oil and gas threaten job loss indirectly if a ndp or liberal government is voted in. It's an absolute culture in that industry and considering the majority of people are specifically trained in that industry with little real world cross over they get fear mongered into it
It’s troubling to me that while the UCP was tearing up contracts and demanding pay cuts from frontline healthcare workers, they were signing off on massive bonuses for senior officials who handed over their authority to the UCP cabinet. 1/3 #ableg

I generally think focusing on individual habits is a distraction from the big, system-wide fixes we need to make to fight climate change ("oh, you FLEW to a climate change conference? hypocrite!" is so tired) But disincentivizing private air travel seems like an obvious win.

2) Headline message to parents.
BC: Encouragement. "B.C. encourages parents to register children under 5 for COVID-19 vaccine."
AB: optionality. "COVID-19 vaccine appointments are available..." which "provides parents ... a vaccine option to protect younger children"
A comparative study in neighbouring provinces' <5 COVID vaccine press releases.
One (BC) gives a clear, science-based message to support public health. The other (AB, #ableg) chose a craven, ambiguous message to accommodate disinformation and anti-vaxxer sensitivities.
