So glad Elon got his $56 Billion bonus for creating the DeLorean 2.0 here.

If passed, Bill 6, the Public Health Amendment Act, will amend Section 29 of the Public Health Act, to clarify the roles & accountability of Cabinet & medical officers of health, including CMOH, in future declared states of public health emergency: https://t.co/al2RZcVyX6

Wow. The Los Angeles Dodgers have re-signed Outfielder Andrew Toles who has schizophrenia and hasn’t played since 2018, so he would still have access to the team’s health insurance and mental health services.

Toles is not expected to play for the Dodgers this season and will likely never play again. Signing with the team will allow him to continue to receive treatment, including counseling, therapy, and medication.

The team was first alerted something was wrong when Toles did not report to spring training in 2019.

Later, the team learned Toles was found sleeping behind a FedEx building at Key West International Airport. Sadly, Toles is just a shadow of his former self.

He was taken to a mental health facility after the incident and the Dodgers recognized the tragic loss of his playing abilities and wanted to ensure he would always have access to care.

2023 is the fifth straight year the Dodgers have re-signed him.

This extraordinary story wasn’t learned about for years.

It gives you a glimpse that sometimes, good gestures are done for good reasons and not for publicity.

Today an Alberta lawyer argued that requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course was the same as forcing indigenous children into residential schools and I’ve never heard a more powerful argument for requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course. #ableg

This man with a “all lives matter” sign tried to disrupt the anti-racism rally. RCMP came over and told him to go behind the barricade. The crowd cheers. This is a totally different approach than we saw two-weeks ago.

#RedDeer RCMP are responding to a shooting that happened outside Parkland Mall. Police are looking for a white Jeep Cherokee with black rims. If you see this vehicle, call 9-1-1. Please avoid the area.

Whoa everyone let's give this injection of disinfectant some consideration. I'm not saying his idea was good. I'm just saying let him be the first to try it out. You know, since that's something they are looking into. #TrumpIsALaughingStock

This very conservative government is looking more and more collectivist every day. We are still Canadian in the end.

Governments love to control the narrative. I got to admit these guys are very good at it. 100% support for doctors and nurses is the only acceptable outcome right now in my opinion.

There has been an incredible display of leadership and collaboration in our city - and it’s obvious the roots of this work stems from long before COVID. Very thankful for these two and the work they do.

I just called my MLA about the government's plan to layoff 25,000 education support staff in the midst of a global pandemic - you can too, use the ATA's tool here: https://t.co/K73oiaXcHU

[Patrick McLean @PMclean_82]

Tried to contact my MLA, Jason Stephan #reddeer #reddeersouth to discuss my concerns over the 25K jobs impacted by #UCP reduced funding for education. His mailbox was full. I will call again. And again.

Can we please stop calling this the "post truth" era? Being proudly ignorant does not deserve an "era".
