Check out the incredible photo captured by @CPSSgtMartin during an evening shift in #YYC this past November.

From a brief quiet moment under the Aurora to responding to critical calls, this is policing in Calgary: unpredictable, fast-paced and deeply rewarding. Ready to answer the call to serve? Apply today! https://t.co/2QuVv41YbQ

On this day in 1847, Elizabeth McMaster was born in Toronto. You likely don't know her name, but McMaster changed the world.
Insulin, Pablum, a sharp decline in infant mortality, all can be traced back to her.
Let's learn more about this amazing person :)

Great stampede breakfast with Paul Brandt to raise money to stop human trafficking. Do his free course and raise awareness #notinmycity https://t.co/hftJdoIN0k

@nenshi I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon in sept 2022 and still waiting!! I finally paid 30,000to have the worst hip done privately. Wait list only reflects those who have seen. As a health care professional and upset and distraught at state of health care.

No dental care, no diabetes medication, and no CPP.

The UCP are all about cutting off Albertan’s noses to spite Trudeau’s face. #AbLeg

Lab tests found that swabs from pillowcases unwashed for a week harbored 17,000 times more colonies of bacteria than samples taken from a toilet seat. 😮 Here's how often to wash your linens: https://t.co/wVsApwELq9

The UCP are engaged in a war on information.

They cut off federal funding to university research if they don’t like the topic. Instead, they create their own research centre to manufacture the answers they want. I guess if you don’t like what the actual science says, why not make your own?

They give members’ statements on how wildfires are the same as they ever were. No climate change to see here. They hold town halls to spread vaccine misinformation. It’s bad enough that UCP policy seems to range between wilfully incompetent and deliberately cruel; now they want to deprive us of the very concept of truth.

For someone like me, trained in experimental methodology, in logic and analytical reasoning, in arguing for the facts, it feels like an attack on everything I stand for. It’s enough to make me want to scream, to call them every name in the book, but I won’t.

A fight like this calls for courage. The most important lesson I have learned is not from school or from law; it’s from parenting. Courage is not rooted in anger; it is rooted in love, love for our kids’ future and for the ideas and what they can build. Courage isn’t just standing up against something; that isn’t enough. It’s having a vision, an idea, something to fight for. It’s easy to face an onslaught of bad decisions by shouting louder and calling names, but it’s not how we win.

Courage is putting your ideas out there and defending them as they grow.

Even in the face of a war on information from this UCP government, Tommy Douglas’s words still ring true: “Courage, my friends; ’tis not too late to build a better world.”

Senior women make up 54% of Canada's senior population (2019 stat). Help a senior to see the specialists they need!!

People who recovered from COVID-19 showed small loss of cognitive ability equal to a 3-point loss in IQ for up to 1 year after recovering, while more serious cases of COVID were tied to a much higher loss of brain function, a new study found. https://t.co/Mwsxm2ZU63

Lack of healthcare services for pregnant women is certainly a factor in the rise of congenital syphilis in ON. Bet it is happening across Canada. Pregnant women need healthcare for prevention!!

So upsetting to hear this is happening and not being dealt with.
