After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.

[Greg Bagwell @gregbagwell]

As we watch the full application of American might being employed against Iran, take a moment to imagine what that might have achieved in the defence of Ukraine…

[Lee Funke @funkelee]

An amazing game. Congrats to the U.S. team!

[The Alberta College of Optometrists @ACO_Eyecare]

ACO welcomes @AdrianaLaGrange's commitment to expand optometry's scope of practice and meet Albertans’ eye health needs. Optometrists will work closely with the GOA to deliver these additional services across the province.

[Adriana LaGrange @AdrianaLaGrange]

Alberta has been a national leader in ensuring allied health professionals can practice to their fullest scope.

We have previously done this with pharmacists, midwives and nurse practitioners.

Next up are optometrists, after ensuring they have the education and training required, they will be able to provide additional services to Albertans.

I look forward to finalizing this work with the Alberta College of Optometrists!
