Our HC frontlines are running on fumes and we can't afford to lose 1% of our workforce But an AMA poll shows 55% of docs would leave, and another 8% would retire if Alberta voted to separate from Canada This would decimate our ability to provide any semblance of safe care 1/2

It should be obvious now - if it wasn’t before - that developing a high-end Europe+ alternative to Starlink must be pursued with wartime-level urgency.

I’ve just voted, and I’m happy to report that the line reached out the door. If you can vote in advance, Albertans, it will probably save you time to do. Every referendum question is an embarrassment. No, worse: they’re disgusting. Alberta can, should, and — I hope — *will* be better than this.

The U.S. is actually accusing Canada of "election meddling" because our retaliatory tariffs target swing states. Industry Minister Joly shut that down fast: you don't get to threaten our economy and then cry foul when Canada hits back with PRECISION. That’s called deterrence. 🇨🇦

COVID-19 hasn’t gone since 2020 and has always been airborne. We need a respirator mask mandate for everyone in healthcare settings. Not having one is causing it to spread more, and sicken and disable more. In room air filtration can also help. #abpoli #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/covid-p...

You all remember the last time these two got into it. Musk basically called out Trump’s pedophilia on Twitter. Then Trump must have threatened Musk because Musk ended up deleting the accusatory tweet. Let’s hope history repeats. This can get good.

When I moved to Alberta in 2004, you couldn't find a warm body to work in town. Every shop in Calgary had a help wanted sign out. Nobody could compete with the cash O&G was throwing at people. O&G nlw produces 3 x more oil with 1/3 the workers. Albertans are angry that those days are over.

The UCP correctly recognized those days are over and built the Ottawa boogeyman to blame instead of their own stupidity. We could have had a THRIVING green energy industry or quantum computing or anything else, but the UCP doesn't actually want to govern. They want to hold on to power by whining.

The White House is hiding a report about your taxes until after you vote. Each year the IRS publishes data on what people at every income level deducted and owed. This version is the first look at the GOP tax law from 2025. It was expected in July. It’s October. Full story at link in comments ⬇️
