@molszyns @andrew_leach @DrewYewchuk @PolicySchool And the 2015 report from the Auditor General of Alberta, which concluded that the MFSP was an important step but that “improvements are needed” to achieve the intended goals of the program:

ACFN participated in the 2022 MFSP Review. While we have learned to not hold our breath, we also put considerable time and effort into that review to make clear to the AB gov’t the MFSP’s numerous serious deficiencies. Significant reforms are necessary and expected. #ableg

Anyone know why there’s garbage falling from the sky in south east Calgary? #yyc

Taken last night at Bissell Center in Edmonton- they were over capacity and people standing outside. It was nearly -40! Told Kohkum’s out there, crying. They started a fire to keep warm. @ABDanielleSmith @JasonNixonAB there is not enough emergency shelter spaces unlike you’re claiming. Those whose encampments were torn down Weds were in this line up.

Just wait till we all start paying for oil sands tailings clean up…

I’m literally being forced to contribute to the $150B orphan well cleanup.

For media parsing the Alberta government's response to this, make sure you don't miss para 142: "The fact that a project involves activities primarily regulated by the provincial legislatures does not create an enclave of exclusivity."

[Carla Davidson @EndeavourSci]

Talked today to #COSIA mine water workshop on First Nations’ perspectives on end pit lakes. #ableg has mismanaged oil sands tailings, liabilities are staggering, & putting tailings in the bottom of mined out pits & covering with water is not a safe long term solution.

AER deficiencies in @DeloitteCanada report are indictment of regulator

Much worse for @AER_news than today's news stories suggest.

Column coming Friday a.m., so here's @molszyns interview as a teaser.

This is me watching @justinrmeyer’s full professor talk by zoom from the wrong campus. It’s good to know that neither my navigation skills nor enthusiasm for experimental evolution has changed - eh @RELenski @barricklab @zachblount ?

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

From all of us here at The Breakdown...

Kids deserve a quality education. They deserve to be safe.

They deserve to know that there are people out there who are committed to standing behind and beside them.

We stand with the LGBTQ2S+ youth of Alberta.

@molszyns were you with the UofC contingent?! I didn't see you!

Wtaf. This is not how evidence based decision making works. It’s not the way a democracy works.

[Kyra Markov @KmarkovCTV]

Was expecting the last month worth of #covid19 data from #ABHealth on Aug 30. I received a response from AB Health today saying "Alberta’s government is revising how we present data to Albertans in order to more accurately depict the current situation..." #ab #alberta #yyc #yeg

Every story that I tell, every person I meet with are affected by colonialism and the residential school system. When Chief Allan Adam was beaten by RCMP in 2020 he shared with me that he is a survivor of Holy Angels Residential School. When I was in Fort Chip last week @geordieday asked me to tell him about Chief Adam, and I got overwhelmed with emotion. Even though we aren’t supposed to be “political” in this work, you can’t help but be when so many of our people have been impacted by trauma and injustice. @ricochet_en @IndigiNewsMedia @TheRealNews

[Dr. Kristopher Wells @KristopherWells]

Talk of “parental rights” in education is a dog whistle for anti-LGBTQ ideologies.

If parents want to know information about their child, just ask your child. If they feel safe and supported, they will tell you. It’s that simple. #cdnpoli

[Carla Davidson @EndeavourSci]

Oh I needed this article thank you @theturner : “The Alberta government’s seven-month pause on renewable energy project approvals is not the act of a muscular status quo reasserting its dominance. It’s a desperate rearguard defence against global forces of inevitable change …”

I have a piece in this weekend's @globeandmail on something climate hawks need to get much better at -- telling people they're winning. Yes, even during this burning summer https://t.co/Fl8C3rluX1

Awful:

2nd-year cellular, molecular and microbial biology student can't afford housing, so they one meal every two days

We cannot claim to be a city for the next generation if we crush post-secondary students with housing costs #yyccc #yyc #abpse
