@FionaMattatall We’re actually watching the new version now. I’m impressed with how they’ve added historical complexity into the story so the context of where they were living comes into play. Check it out!

@_blue_Raspberry @uOttawa I’m sure they’ll review and fix things

@CraigBaird Well said! I grew up in BC but have lived in AB since 1999. Albertans have been sold a bill of lies about how they “suffer” in Confederation. There are forces that are bent on destroying this place and I hope that the sane, silent majority get out and vote in the next election

@FionaMattatall Guess that’s where the $900 million marketing budget for O&G is coming from…

@andrewtanyongyi @jakescottMD That’s exactly what I was thinking. I’m born in 1970 and many kids got chickenpox, myself included. Highly unpleasant for the majority and not nearly as dangerous as measles

@FionaMattatall I met her in Tanzania. She was so inspiring, especially because the audience was a small number of people from conservation nonprofits. Will never forget that evening!

@FionaMattatall I was so sad to hear the news. He was one of the few reasons I kept my Twitter account

@MAGAcornPopcorn @SwingAway1995 @StephenKing Albertan here. A poll just released today shows 90% of us don’t want to join the US. No way in hell would anyone vote Republican if we were coerced. And we are only 11% of the population of Canada anyways. Canada would forever see the Democrats in power (thank god)

@drdagly On the plus side, you get to have new skis!!!

[Heather Hastie @hhastie]

@drdagly Omg glad you are still walking!

@vettergreenart Banning renewables but starting tire fires? How do you say I live in ‘Berta without saying I live in Alberta… 🙄

@huntin4you @CalgaryPolice It often means suicide and they are respecting the privacy of the deceased and their loved ones

@rodmickleburgh @raging_grannie Or think they can a women how to deal with her health issues

@megalindd @MimiProbably @WhoseBacon That absolutely doesn’t make sense if you understand hospital scheduling

[Heather Hastie @hhastie]

@shrbear1968 @WhoseBacon @MimiProbably I doubt choosing a c-section is happening without a medical reason. I don’t know any woman who has chosen this for a non medical reason. Women choose c-sections over vbac, yes, but that’s because they are ultimately safer. It’s why my doctor and chose an elective C-section for #2

[Heather Hastie @hhastie]

@MimiProbably After 69 hours of labour with my 1st I had a c-section. My doctor said failure to progress would likely happen again so I wasn’t going to chance that with #2. Elective c-section was the right choice. No way should a govt have the right to force vbac on any woman

@AshleaSimonBF @erdocmom Why are you rage farming with a story from 2016? The Danish have had all kinds of conversations on whether pepper spray should be legalized since then.

[Heather Hastie @hhastie]

@ClearsightTv Oh please. My 6’3” husband does not feel the need to sit that way. Grow some manners!
