I love math.
No really. I also love biking and education and theatre and hiking and my kids and canoeing and language and skiing.
But especially math.

sadly, politicians still see bikes as toys and hobbies and not a serious transport mode worthy of massive investment

Happy Sovereignty Act Day!
Today David Parker's UCP government will finally put Rob Anderson's Sovereignty Act to the test by ensuring O&G profit interests are protected!
This is the UCP's first step towards separation & selling out to the USA!

As long as I have known @yipengGe, he has been committed to equity, anti-racism and justice. He has been unjustly suspended from residency, without due process, for supporting Palestinian human rights. Please tell @OttawaU this is not OK. https://t.co/9ohHTVxOss
Poor Alaberta.
Their entire health system balkanized with the silos all at the mercy of an anti-vaxx, pro-tobacco, anti-science, quack remedy promoting nutbar Premier.

A: A longterm brutal military occupation: https://t.co/Okym7c9Z0o
B: A savage attack by Hamas killing many civilians
C: A continuing assault by Israel killing 10x more civilians
If B explains C, then why doesn't A explain B?
And if A doesn't justify B, why would B justify C?

When you consider the polls, town halls, and discussion on this platform and others, it is clear that we want nothing to do with the UCP/TBA pension grab. Time to stop the spend of $7.5M of our money on a pointless propaganda campaign. #HandsoffmyCPP#abpoli#ableg
Dale McFee says we can't wait for infrastructure and I agree. So where is @ABDanielleSmith? Where is @JustinTrudeau? Where is @CityofEdmonton? Why isn't there non partisan solutions happening between all 3 levels?

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
I also have DOZENS of bills that were rejected due to invalid health care numbers. This is common when working with vulnerable patients who are houseless. Over a year ago, the @Alberta_UCP said they would reinstate Good Faith billing. They still haven't

Had the provinces in fact spent all of those federal transfers "for health" on health, prov'l health spending would be 31 per cent higher than it is: $62 billion.
Instead they used it to fund other things: spending on other programs, tax cuts, etc.
Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, says that Israel cannot claim the right of ‘self-defence’ under international law because Gaza is a territory which it occupies ⤵️
#Ableg Fact:
Danielle Smith has BLOWN $430,250,000 on 3 people:
💰 $330,000,000 - Murray Edwards, UK Billionaire. Hockey Arena
💴 $100,000,000 - Dr. Mehmet Oz’s Family Pharmacy. Bogus Kids Meds
💸 $250,000 - Preston Manning. Fake Covid Report
Smith is the face of Cronyism.
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.
The $2 million Manning Report urges consideration of “alternative scientific narratives” (their words), undermining the hard work and knowledge of experts and healthcare professionals.
You can’t make this up.
Albertans deserve so much better than horse paste policy.

One of the recommendations for Public Health reads: “evidence-informed decision-making consider non-scientific evidence as well”
... question to you all - what do you think Manning considers "non-scientific evidence"?
