No one wants these mines except a few 100 that want the jobs, the foreign coal cos and inexplicably, our AB govt. Polls show 75-80% of ABns are against. They're going to contaminate the Oldman river and cost taxpayers billions for clean up. Go home, you're not wanted.

@SolidEvidence Check out Maria Ressa’s work out of the Philippines. It takes a shockingly small number of bot accounts to influence opinion. If I recall correctly the number is 26.

@DBSLarsson @AaronHinman4 @DuaneBratt @varmitage27 A criminal conviction is a high bar for good reasons. I propose that the bar for attorney generals should be like the bar parents set for their kids. Now tell me, if your daughter brought Mr. Gaetz home, would you invite him into your family?

@DBSLarsson @AaronHinman4 @DuaneBratt @varmitage27 Wasn't he investigated by the ethics committee, which would be bipartisan? They didn't exonerate; they just failed to issue a judgment. Not exactly qualifying.

@boehmerB @DuaneBratt It's funny what’s projected when people try normalizing rage farming.

Republican head on CBC's election coverage just said that Musk saved Twitter. Just imagine what he can do for the American Government. How's Twitter working for you lately?

@JasonPYYC My question is: Have any other psychologists ranked people according to perfection? The unsanctioned majority of the profession doesn't seem to have done this.

I’m so tired of the free market paradigm in healthcare @acoyne

Competition doesn’t lower HC costs, integration does

Free markets tend to remain fragmented/unintegrated until a market crash or a monopoly forms

What we need is a better MANAGED MARKET

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

It appears Thomas Lukaszuk has obtained the audio allegedly of former Danielle Smith campaign manager and beneficiary of sole sourced contracts from Smith, Matthew Althiem, bragging about bringing 2000 people to the UCP AGM to do his bidding.

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May just put Pierre Poilievre in a body bag.

The only logical reason PeePee won’t get his NatSec background check at this point?

He knows he won’t pass it.

Vaccine-skeptic former Alberta doctor loses bid to appeal contempt order https://t.co/0Ta1HKxESS Another loss for Viliem Makis. He has been losing since he was initially fired in 2016, followed by losing his medical license in 2019 (all pre-covid).

A story in two parts;

1. The UCP created the @CDNEnergyCentre as a quasi private entity to hide their grift and transparency after laundering over $200M+ through it

2. The UCP had pull it back under public umbrella to avoid being sued for lying and misinformation after PMJT law

Marshall Smith, behind Alberta Premier’s drug strategy & part of an ethics controversy, retires from gvt. But did you know Premier Smith also signed off on granting him a $23k living allowance? Same $ MLAs receive to cover housing expenses? #ableg #cdnpoli https://t.co/tEugdwPOan
