Hey @AirCanada thanks for the downgrade from business class to economy from YYC to YUL as I’m getting on the connecting flight. Appreciate it. Especially when I chose this flight despite the late arrival *because* it had business class and premium economy as options. #aircanada

Oh my god, I can't believe I support Doug Ford.

Hey Alberta. U like being on the hook for billion$ for orphan wells? You're gonna LOVE selenium contaminated rivers and ground water from coal mines. Same AB regulator oversees both. 100% taxpayers'll be paying 4 massive cleanup when the foreign mining cos go home. Old playbook.

Our province is suffering from a crippling shortage of family doctors, but for whatever reason the government’s priority is demonizing trans people.

New members will be inducted into the @HockeyHallFame in November. Among them will be Russian citizen and former outstanding hockey player Pavel Datsyuk (@NHL). With his excellent performances and everything he has done for hockey, Pavel undoubtedly deserves a place in the HHOF. Induction into the HHOF is public and it is customary for each inductee to be present at the induction into the HHOF. Here it must be said that every public appearance of a Russian citizen who has not officially condemned the Russian imperialist war and other crimes connected with it (including the genocide of Ukrainian children) is automatically a huge advertisement for the Russian war and other Russian crimes, including the genocide of Ukrainian children. I don't know if Pavel plans to condemn the Russian war in the coming months and, above all, if he is able to do it. However, it must be said that if he doesn't, his appearance at the award ceremony (since he is a Russian citizen) will be a huge advertisement for the Russian war and Russian crimes. And it will have the effect of escalating the war, delaying the victory of Ukraine and delaying the achievement of peace. And so it will automatically have an effect on a much larger number of human lives lost and maimed. Both on the Ukrainian side and on the Russian side. Canada and the HHOF must decide what is more important to them. Is it the presence and public appearance of the Russian citizen and new HHOF member Pavel Datsyuk? Or are they human lives that you can save by making the right decision and not allowing a Russian citizen to appear publicly on your territory? Canada and the HHOF, by your decision you will make it clear to the world what is more important to you and how important human life is to you, even if it is on another continent. The decision is yours.

WTF? Ban the COVID vaccine? https://t.co/hqhdtH6ttI by @DonBraid

There is NO evidence to support concerns about things like "sudden deaths", etc. As noted by Dr. Paul Parks: "But this is the literal definition of ignorance."

Facts: the COVID vaccines have...
- Saved millions of lives https://t.co/m4XM2FvYA0
- Is associated with FEWER strokes & heart attacks https://t.co/ErdDuciSTl
- Helps prevent & reduce symptoms of long COVID https://t.co/PgHDvHmIJY
- Improves pregnancy outcomes https://t.co/yB0ulDCP0x
- Helps kids with asthma https://t.co/udvx4NXa81
- Reduced pediatric hospitalization https://t.co/ww4YgNIN9J
