Alberta can be the leader in ALL forms of energy development.

The UCP moratorium on renewable energy has to end. It's harming our economic potential, our future.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Remember - the wildfires, the droughts, floods, heatwaves happening across the world are within "safe" climate change (1.2°C warming). We are on course to double that.

No time to waste. Break free from fossil fuels. #ActOnClimate

Around 1 million species now face extinction, many within the next few decades. We are facing multiple crises at the same time.

There is no time to waste. Time to protect nature and ourselves.

10 Climate Change Myths Debunked https://t.co/80i47sgQrc

MYTH 1: Scientists do not agree about climate change.

FACT: More than 99% of climate scientists agree that human activity is overheating the planet.

Brilliant! By Dr. Manns
“an excellent example of what happens when contracting decisions are based on political ideology, rather than considering…merits & the impact on access, quality, & cost. Health systems need to be insulated more from govs.”

Entire cities are being wiped off the face of this planet due to climate change related events. Last week it was Lahaina, today it's Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories in Canada's north.

You can't keep ignoring this and pretending it's someone else's problem.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

.@AbDanielleSmith honed her business expertise at the diner.

She transferred all the lab work from government labs to Dynalife. Increased Dynalife value. Now buys them with taxpayers money to revert lab operations back to government.

Christmas in August for Dynalife.

[Gabriel Fabreau MD, MPH, FRCPC @gabefabreau]

Privatizing a previously well-functioning publicly funded Alberta Precision Labs by Dynalife was supposed to save #AB 18M according to #UCP. Instead, it was an unmitigated disaster & now, we the taxpayers, have to buy it back.

How much $$ wasted?

Colleagues, STOP using "poorly controlled #diabetes". It's diminishing & judgmental.

State the A1C, describe duration of elevation & diabetes-related vasculopathy; if you must.

Perhaps express compassion for someone that is dealing with a chronic condition as best they can.

[AB_Fam_Doc (#PhysicianWellnessMatters) @AB_Fam_Doc]

Family Medicine, the foundation of Albertan's care. Over 80,000 visits most days, yet ONLY 8% of Alberta's total healthcare spending!! Imagine what we could do with more!! Fund Family Med, support integrated teams. Improve Healthcare access & the health of Albertans.

Provocative study suggests that pro-longevity effect of dietary restriction is a lab artifact and not feasible in real life. Results show instead that excessive combination of multiple stressors is detrimental for homeostasis. This is how hormesis works. https://t.co/j3RL0TgIK3
