Bad policy equals bad outcomes. Alberta is frankly anti public health. It reflects in our death rates.

[Henry Madison @RageSheen]

Even for our ‘sterilising’ vaccines, other public health measures are employed to control spread. To prevent infections. Our Covid strategy is an economic strategy, not a scientific or medical one. /end

…COVID, an airborne virus, will likely dog us as long as we tolerate dirty air in poorly ventilated homes, hospitals, workplaces, schools and public transport.”

MD-NP primary care clinics where NPs can work within their scope is possible.

It takes an open mind from the doctors

It takes realistic NP leaders respecting the boundaries of Family Medicine

Neither of those elements are happening right now

Turns out smart people like my colleagues @ClimateInstit have done actual research about heat pump use in Canada (and I even talked to actual heat pump users on their behalf!) and it's gathered in this 🧵 so you no longer have to speculate on what happens when it's really cold

Why do the UCP want to make it quicker/easier to become a teacher? Alberta has consistently been ranked as having one of the best education systems in the world! 30% of new teachers quit within the first 5 years. We don’t need an easier route to become a teacher we need a

The solution to addressing shortages of teachers to work in increasingly under-resourced and more complex classrooms is not to require less training for teachers.

It’s to fund & resource classrooms properly and value & respect teachers.

Sure I’m biased but this is solid advice

[emma deady @emmadeady]

Every activist/organizer/concerned citizen etc. should be enraged & worried sick about what is happening to Adora Nwofor & Taylor McNallie in Alberta right now.

From the extraneous charges and convenient “clerical error” to the massive right-wing platforms demonizing two powerful Black women. This is deliberate. This is white supremacy in action. This is the beginning of dangerous tactics and legal precedents against all social justice activists in Alberta. #Abpoli #Ableg

Danielle Smith claims that Adriana Lagrange is the right choice for health because she’s a very qualified minister. Really?

What if we all stepped back from whatever colour of political flag we thought we knew and became blank slates for candidates to earn our votes again. Not through political mud slinging, but through actually policies, solutions and values.

4/4 As a city that strives to be inclusive & welcoming, we have to provide safe spaces for the public to enjoy all that we have to offer - without a small group of people creating safety issues by spreading mistruths & hate. We cannot tolerate hate masked as protest.

[dana corkey @danacorkey]

@TheJenRollins So hard.

[Chris Turner @theturner]

Excellent piece from @maxfawcett on the shrieking just transition hysteria and the UCP’s tireless efforts to determine “just how much bullshit Albertans can be fed before their gag reflex finally kicks in”
