@ChrisLaBossiere @Kore19529Sheila I mean, I don't think this is great either. I don't live on the east side of the city for exactly this reason...

[Braden Manns @BradenMannsYYC]

Feds. Time to step in on Dual practice which will create 2 tiered health care. Minister Michel @marjorieplc - it’s time to enforce the Canada Health Act https://t.co/QxG8q2p4HT

@JSJamato Congrats, this is great! I really hope you are able to help them strike the right tone so they connect with people going forward.

Oh boy….

A new ID card sounds “common sense”…but let’s look at what was ALSO announced this month

1. A new ID card that encodes your citizenship status
2. 5 referendum questions d to ration public services by citizenship status

This is potentially VERY bad…🧵

[Jon Meddings @JMeddings]

Another extremely perceptive analysis here.

AB, the richest province, is also the only large province to have *decreased* hospital funding over the last decade.

The result? Dramatic increases in ER wait times and ER deaths.

Does GoA think this cost-effective?

[Keith Gerein @keithgerein]

More disturbibg autocracy from the province and from this minister in particular.

If the voices of local voters do not have priority say in the design of our own communities, what's the point of having local councils and local elections? #yeg

It's time for Prime Minister Carney and Health Minister Michel to show some guts and stand up for the Canada Health Act. Butting ahead in line and jumping the queue because you're wealthy isn't the Canadian way. Thank you MP Don Davies. @DonDavies @MarjoriePLC @MarkJCarney

Put extremist separatism and UCP disregard for regulators together and what do you get? A massive data breach that affects millions. Column.

Every word of this.

The corruption of Alberta’s democracy by a small group of rogue separatist actors must end. They gained control of the UCP and thereby the fate of the Premier. Now they seem to have access to the entire voters list.

Funding for early intervention was at $323m before the pandemic, it's now at $248m, with more kids.

Every Canadian and American needs to watch this and be reminded how many millions of decent Americans there are and that our nations can be friends. Total 100% class by the American fans.

[Allison @amehnes]

@ChrisLaBossiere What about DOSC?

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Alberta's 17th Premier @RachelNotley published an excellent op-ed in the Globe and Mail about how the UCP is putting democracy at risk with their attempt to rig the election:

"I can say, with utter certainty, that at no time did I even casually consider abusing my power as Premier or our legislative majority. It has to stop here.

"If we allow politicians to rig elections, then we will be giving them carte blanche to do anything they want. No politician should ever hold that power."

Well worth the read: https://t.co/SZxxcA8GJ6

Each time Alberta has established an Electoral Boundaries Commission to redraw election maps the government has accepted the commission’s majority report, so I was surprised and disappointed to learn that a committee of MLAs has instead been tasked with creating a new map. /1

[ABResistance @AB_Resistance]

Calgarians, be aware of the possibility of changes to your constituency. If you know someone in Calgary, share the maps with them, make sure they know the differences between the majority and minority reports. Make sure you let your MLA know your thoughts!

[Derek @OilBeak]

Just so we are all clear, the Premier and Education Minister have consulted with said groups about education and library policy more than they have with teachers or librarians.

[Alison Palmer @alijanepalmer]

WE ALREADY DO THIS.

[Michael Solberg 🇨🇦 @MichaelSolberg]

Every budget day, the same thing happens.

The government tables hundreds of pages.

Lobbyists and public affairs teams scramble to find what matters to their clients.

By the time the briefing note is written, the news cycle has already moved on.

We built https://t.co/XMsI1U9YOm to solve that.

Each stakeholder note includes:

-the top budget measures relevant to that client type
-risks
-opportunities
-suggested message frames
-a 48-hour action checklist

All of it sourced from the actual budget documents.

We generated it in minutes with Flashbulb - a media intelligence tool offered exclusively by @ShiftMediaX.

We’re making this available because it demonstrates something important about where public affairs is headed.

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

Maclean's approached me about writing a personal essay as an Albertan about secession and my opposition to it.
It was published today 👇
