Poilievre got caught red handed raising the cost of food prices across Canada with Galen Weston. He also allowed his MPās to dine with Nazi Christine Anderson. And now he wants Trudeau to resign? Heās trying desperately to turn the page on the Loblaws scandal. Donāt let him.

~100 yrs ago Canada's Chief Medical Officer was forced into retirement. He tried to get the fed gov't to stop sending kids to die of TB in residential schools. This year, AB intervened to prevent the Dr hired by the Indigenous Wellness Core from taking the job. Two top leaders

Tonight was one of those right place right times. I was at my desk and my energy was screaming at me to go outside. So I did. I am I getting better at listening to me. I stand out there for a few mins before this woman comes up and asks if we have any clothes. Weāre closed

I know that I am.
I think Canadians are sick of the anti LGBTQ/Trans people. Sick of Fukk Trudeau Flags, sick of hateful protests, sick of the constant Trudeau bashing, sick of no solutions from Cons, sick of Con politicians who foster hate, sick of lies and very sick of Conservatives in general.

The Minister of Health is anti-choice. It is very possible to leave a right intact in law, but erode the exercise of that right to the point it no longer exists, practically. Sisters, now is the time to be vigilant. To have each otherās backs. #AbLeg

As Canadians, we were lulled into apathy by the reality that elections didnāt really matter. No matter which party won, we would end up with some form of a rational, centrist government. Those days are over. Now, there are dangerous political actors on ballots. #ableg #Cdnpoli
@LukaszukAB Itās absolutely not an excuse⦠Iām devastated by their choices; But I understand the stresses of work, kids, life. Itās a reality; many are apathetic because they have enjoyed a fairly sane government system till now.

I saved all those conversations with Leslie and referred back to them like they were a secret recipe for sanity--which they were. People are suffering, grieving. We lost 1.3M to COVID and we never ever talk about it. Loss is everywhere. Just be kinder. You'll need it someday. 4/

Wow, you really did it Alberta. You elected a residential school denialist, found to breech the Conflict of Interest Act, who repeatedly said she will make you pay for health care Premier. A party with blatant transphobia, racism, literal violence, and corruption. Wow. Good luck.

This was a tight race. I estimate (as of 12:30am) that a minimum of ~1.6k votes in the closest races would change who forms govt. That's just 0.1% of votes. The closest in history. #abvote

Can't decide who to vote for? Then think about who you want to vote WITH. Do you want to embolden people who throw temper tantrums honking their truck horns all day and taking guns to border crossings? Or do you like when strangers protect each other and say good morning?

How can I explain why Danielle Smith's "public delivery" through for-profit suppliers is not a good thing? Ok. Let's say a procedure costs $1,000. It's a nice round, easy to work with number. The procedure costs $1,000, which includes wages of doctors, nurses and other 1/15

Remember how coal mining in the Rockies was such a huge deal a year or two ago? After the UCP converted protected natural areas into "open for mining" areas? Well, that story's far from over. They still want more coal mines, but are advancing it even more quietly now š”. #ableg
.ā¦@AbDanielleSmith doesnāt want to talk about this until after the election, but UCP made a promise to Australian billionaire and now, quietly, gave a green light to start the dig. Alberta mountains are for sale. #AbVote #AbLeg #Yyc
