In summary, this course of action has been tried before.
It always fails to make h/c better – it always makes it worse.
Despite the evidence our gov is barreling forward to make a few people and companies rich.
Seems par for the course in AB. /end
What a day! Across Canada, thousands step forward together to fight global poverty — proving that when we unite around a shared purpose, real change happens.

For over 50 years, the Ismaili community has helped shape Canada’s social and cultural fabric.
It was a pleasure to take part in today’s groundbreaking alongside His Highness Aga Khan V for the first dedicated Jamatkhana in Quebec, in Laval. It will create a space for prayer, dialogue, and community life, and continue to strengthen inclusion and belonging for generations to come.
Hat's off to the author of this. In a nutshell this is why our healthcare system is in the mess it is.

“Smith, and her chief of staff, Rob Anderson, directly intervened with Alberta’s Advanced Education Ministry in an attempt to help Peterson’s higher-education business venture.”

President of the American College of Physicians and liaison to the HHS Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices, Dr. Jason Goldman: "I have spent two days dealing with Sec. Kennedy's vaccine committee. They are destroying our public health infrastructure.
Good article and I suspect it is correct.
Dual practice will not entice surgical teams to come and stay.
That means longer waits in the public system are coming.
This change by GoA is very much 'designed by the rich for the benefit of the rich'.
🚨NEW: Kerry Kennedy has announced Late Show Host Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power.
RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!
Huntington’s disease is brutal.
A single DNA error → toxic protein → dead brain cells.
No cure. Always fatal. Always inherited.
But now? Science has flipped the script.
How the new gene therapy works:
1️⃣ Huntington’s mutation makes a toxic protein that kills neurons.
2️⃣ Doctors infuse gene therapy directly into the brain through a catheter.
3️⃣ Neurons absorb the genetic code - and turn into mini drug factories.
4️⃣ The therapy blocks the faulty messenger RNA → less toxic protein.
The result?
A 75% slowdown in disease progression.
Patients still walking when they should be in wheelchairs.
One man back at work after being medically retired.
This is not science fiction.
It’s genetic medicine, delivered in real time.
Advanced science…
To families living with Huntington’s, it feels like magic.
