@fstenson I’ll never understand why none of them smile. Not even for a picture.

[TRexMD @TRexMD780]

The number of Family Doctors accepting new patients overall in AB has dropped from 887 to 209, with the South Zone taking a near obliteration.

(I actually think this is an overestimation for all zones because many of these are walk in or niche docs only)

We are down to the last few days of the election and I will end my series on Family Medicine with these graphics from @Albertadoctors

How bad is the state of Family Medicine in #Alberta compared to the early days of the UCP?

Well, read on:

I wonder about differentiating on "location-based" platforms and "web-based freelancing" - useful, but obscures probably the core issue for a subset of these workers which is the loss of autonomy via algorithmically mediated work.

On Monday, we'll find out how much lying, conspiracy theorizing, anti-LGBTQ bigotry and anti-science nonsense Albertans are willing to look past in the name of tax cuts for the rich.

Spoiler alert: it's going to be a lot.

A simple phrase, “Lend your vote to @RachelNotley “, has started a wave. Former PC ministers, MLAs, candidates and voters are joining in and doing what’s right for Alberta.

Thank you, fellow PCs!!! Proud of you!

So…why doesn’t #UCP simply campaign on their economic record? 🤔🧐#ableg #cdnpoli

[United Nurses of Alberta @UnitedNurses]

With long waits in ER every day, more than 30 hospitals with service disruptions, over 70 relying on high-cost travel nurses brought in by agencies, and staff nurses being routinely denied vacation and time off, the government is clearly not recruiting enough. #ableg #abvote

Yikes! This is scary. Massive upper ridge over western North America. This will bring hot weather ( record breaking in many places) and if we get some wind the wildfires will wake up. Stay tuned and stay safe.

Anyone? The last time a politician's 90-second remarks drew ire of both B'nai Brith and the Legion?

Maybe you couldn’t make it to Toronto. Or maybe you were turned away from our SOLD OUT shows 😎… lucky for you The Lebanese Burger Mafia is streaming for 5 days via @HotDocs. It’s like renting a movie (‘memba that?) and only in Canada (unless you VPN 👀) https://t.co/JpRnHGI5RO

[Mike Flannigan @mikeflannigan]

Incredibly active wildfire day in Alberta. Lots of communities threatened. Estimating 100,000 ha burned today and some of these fires will burn through the night. Check out the loop https://t.co/UyJqgYQwbk . Smoke is gray and some pyrocu/pyrocb - white.

@jeffmadams Where is this information from? Tks

The Kingii is a wristband designed to function as a flotation device, it holds the title of being the smallest inflatable device globally. While it cannot serve as a substitute for a life vest, it can provide extra buoyancy support.

LETTERS | "Sure, they've thrown away billions on a dead pipeline, handouts to NHL owners, and off-brand Turkish tylenol.

But I'd rather them throw our tax dollars at foreign billionnaires than have the NDP share our prosperity with Albertans who really don't deserve it."
