Good day @elonmusk it was a joy being on Twitter before you bought it, now it is a joy to be leaving it. Peace out.

Is Alberta solving its doctor shortage?

It's true that the province is adding doctors (2.2% increase year-over-year), but that addition doesn't come close to meeting the population growth (4.5% increase year-over-year).

So, the problem is actually getting worse.

Here's who Premier Danielle Smith is speaking with on Jan. 24 at the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary.

I’d like to make a couple of comments on a particular part of the Manning report. This is about using ‘non-scientific’ evidence or in his own words work that had not been arrived at or proved in some laboratory. /1

Saskatchewan introduces bill on withholding carbon tax on natural gas /via @globeandmail https://t.co/F6uwi74fFm They know they are breaking the law, so crafting provincial legislation to protect SaskEnergy and its directors.

Alberta, and for that matter Canada, needs a full lessons learned Inquiry into the covid response. Something analogous to the Rouleau Commission on the imposition of the Emergencies Act. The Manning Report is not that.

[Duane Bratt🇨🇦 @DuaneBratt]

This was also predicted at the time based on the mandate, appointment of Manning/other panelists, and Smith's UCP leadership race/initial months as Premier. It was also demonstrated by the show of force by Take Back Alberta and resolutions that were passed at the UCP convention.

[Jason Markusoff @markusoff]

After I wrote about the massive real-life consequences of a new human right for medical procedures (link below), Smith walked it back to say maybe it's only for MRNA vaccines, and then walked it back entirely.
And Presto! the idea is back again.

A panel reviewing Alberta’s COVID-19 response is calling for rule changes to ensure the premier and cabinet have the last word in future crises, with help from a new senior science officer. https://t.co/nMb2NdkXsr

I personally hate how science keeps getting in the way of things like health.

Exciting! Bill 8 has passed first reading!

By suspending ethics investigations during elections and making it easier for cabinet to set our own limits on political gifts, the UCP is proudly announcing that we are FOR SALE!

Let the gift$ roll in!

Shout-out to @BernieSanders for stopping a *𝑠𝑖𝑔ℎ* potential fistfight today in the Capitol:

Should add that Toews commissioned the Lifeworks report. In addition, Lifeworks report contradicts internal Alberta Finance analysis that was presented to Toews when he was Minister.

I promise you, you can call for a ceasefire and be horrified that a Jewish school in Montreal was shot at two times in a week! These are not incompatible.
