Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients. This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act. 1/3

I keep meeting smart informed Albertans who tell me they do not intend to vote, because they don’t want to legitimize the process, or because they know the premier is not bound by the results. But what if making us give up on voting is the whole point? My argument to vote - no matter the absurdity.

If you need a selfish (vs altruistic) reason to never support a politician who's willing to sell out trans rights for votes, it's this: If they'll abandon trans people (who are fucking PEOPLE) to get votes, they'll happily abandon you too if it's in their interests. They simply have no integrity.

There are 1.6 million households in Alberta. If this report is correct, the Meta project could add up to $736 million each year in extra power costs for Alberta families. Danielle Smith and the UCP have a lot to explain about why they think this is a good deal amid an affordability crisis.

New report says Alberta power prices could spike because of Meta’s data centre. The company disputes the claim
Meta will draw power for years before its gas plant is built prices rise until it does.
