How desperate are they in their search to go 'door to door'? Do they not have any intel? Is it not possible to have some sort of idea where those "criminal illegal aliens" are? Going door-to-door through the country seems like an uninformed search for a needle in a haystack.

On this day in 1992, George Klein died in Ottawa. Born in Toronto in 1904, he was one of the most prolific inventors in Canadian history. He contributed to the creation of electric wheelchairs, the ZEEP nuclear reactor, the Canadarm, aircraft skis, and the STEM antenna.

Nope. You can't unring that bell. Sometimes you say something you didn't mean or was misunderstood, and sometimes what you say shines a light on who you really are. This is the latter, and an apology doesn't cut it. Not for someone in his position (nor should the Premier accept the apology).

Today is British Home Child Day. This is the annual day that Canada acknowledges and honours the over 100,000 children who were sent from the UK to Canada to work on farms and in homes. They were separated from siblings and many were abused. This is their story. 🧵 1/12
The black-and-white photo shows a large group of children and a few adults posing for a group photograph in front of a large industrial building with a "No Smoking" sign. The children, mostly girls, are dressed in coats, scarves, and hats, typical of early 20th-century attire, and are arranged in several rows, with some standing on the building's steps. The setting appears to be outdoors, possibly at a school or institution, with a utilitarian structure in the background.

Misinformation reduced uptake of vaccines so lack of demand now used as justification for defunding. Huh? The reality is that COVID vaccines: - save lives & reduce hospitalization - reduce healthcare costs - improve pregnancy outcomes - reduce risk of long COVID - etc etc etc

Random question re: #covid19vaccine in #Alberta - #HealthCareWorkers are eligible for #Vaccine. What if a person has their #HCA degree (and is working in a private home as a #caregiver for a person with #disability)? Do they qualify for the vaccine? Define #HCW? #abpoli #abhealth

it's good for our health to work at home - if kids are sick, is it better for them to stay home or go to school & infect others? And if they're home, I bet mom/dad can work while their little one rests, instead of missing work or sending their kid to school.

KimBearley @bearleykim.bsky.social · 22/08/2025
although the list of people at higher risk might be more extensive than some people think; so there should be lots of Albertans still eligible for Phase One (but obviously EVERYONE should be able to get the vaccine free of charge...)

KimBearley @bearleykim.bsky.social · 22/08/2025
So wrong. It's basic health literacy to understand that vaccines are a Public Health measure. We take them to protect each other. The higher the uptake the better the protection. For EVERYONE.

Weirdly I actually remember the moment the power went out, not realizing the impact of what had just happened. We were among the last homes to have power restored. It was blessedly quiet! 😉 Now we keep gas tank at least 1/2 full at all times, keep cash on hand, and have a small generator.

I have heard that the song "un canadien errant" is connected to this story. I don't think it was written about the acadians but in reading the lyrics it is certainly a heartbreaking account of what they must have felt

From 1755 to 1764, over 11,000 Acadians were pushed off their land by the British and forcefully relocated elsewhere. Over 5,000 died of disease, starvation and shipwrecks. It was a dark time in our history. This is the story of the Acadian Expulsion. 🧵 1/15
The illustration depicts a scene from the Acadian Expulsion: a British soldier in a red coat, holding a musket with bayonet, advances on a group of distressed civilians in 18th-century attire. A child is pulled by the ear, a bearded man is restrained while raising an arm, a woman in a yellow-and-green striped skirt kneels in anguish, and others gesture in protest or despair amid a crowd in a grassy outdoor setting under a cloudy sky. The artwork is signed "Daley" in the bottom left.

I'm not sure how we can eliminate the cost. Parking lots and parkades cost a lot of money to build and maintain. We could probably lower the cost though, as well as helping people who can't afford the cost or who have high costs because of frequent visits.

KimBearley @bearleykim.bsky.social · 17/06/2025
Agreed. It's always cheaper to prevent illness than to treat it. Contrary to what Smith appears to believe, vaccinations do indeed prevent illness, or prevent serious illness/complications - which reduces the burden ($) on our healthcare system. (Plus, who likes being sick?!)

KimBearley @bearleykim.bsky.social · 14/06/2025
This makes me so angry😡 They should be encouraging immunizations which in turn will keep people out of hospital; instead we'll have more people who will be more sick, and more burden on the healthcare system.
