My name is Nate Pike. I was born in Edmonton, and raised in rural Alberta. I have lived my entire life in Alberta, and I still do. I will always be both Canadian & Albertan, but I have a tattoo of a maple leaf, not a wild rose. I will never support Alberta separation.

Isn’t it interesting that Premier Danielle Smith has remained SILENT on health care for so long? While ABs are dying and experiencing prolonged suffering and poor outcomes in ED waiting rooms and hallways, she has nothing to say. 1/2

Two triage RNs at Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton say they've had 120 patients IN THE WAITING ROOM because there's no room inside the ER. How do you keep track of ALL of them? This week on @cbcwhitecoat

Kyiv is under heavy attack. Windows and walls are shaking. No water. No electricity. I don’t know how long the world can just watch.

Ghost patients. They go to the ER, look at the chaos, and leave. Not counted. What happens? Do they go home and recover? Do they get worse? Do they die? And the @Alberta_UCP can pretend they don’t exist.

PM Carney has his hands full but I would respectfully request @MarkJCarney some assistance with Alberta Separatist rhetoric I’m a Canadian first and just can’t see how a potential referendum regarding separation on Treaty Land could potentially make it’s way onto a ballot

PLEASE REPOST this important reply to Jason Nixon: Minister @JasonNixonAB, I listened to part of your press conference and I commend your efforts to move long-stay ALC patients out of hospital. Thank you. But there are factual inaccuracies that matter. These numbers were given
Minister of Assisted Living and Social Services Jason Nixon pushes back against claims from @RajSherman that ALCs/"bed blockers" are a major factor in ER crisis. Nixon adds that Sherman's number are no accurate, but that the UPC is working to bring down the numbers around ACLs

How the heck does a little country like Luxembourg hold that much US debt? They should be the first to call it, just to instill the fear of NATO countries influence. #Davos2026

This is the gov that campaigned on "too many h/c managers, not enough front line". Now the front line is saying there is a problem and GoA refuses to listen. Perhaps they need more managers.... https://t.co/GT08EOqREv

Red Deer firefighters have responded to a huge jump in overdoses since the UCP closed the supervised consumption site. How big? Almost 50% more. But the UCP says that there's no proof there's a connection. K. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Sadly I think I’m learning that the promised review of the tragic PUBLIC death at GNH is complete and recommendations have BEEN created but they will NOT be shared publicly without sharing the recommendations there will be NO accountability on action
GoA didn’t release these documents. AHS wasn’t allowed to honor many FOIP requests. Nice strategy @PfParks - copy many people on your email. So many near misses. Preventable deaths, ‘near-misses’ caused by overcrowding in Alberta emergency rooms https://t.co/dprFYsn2Fs

Kyiv. Emergency situation in the energy sector. Since last night, the curfew has been eased so people can reach the Points of Invincibility (public warming and charging shelters) anytime. We hold on. But let’s not forget: we’re made of flesh and blood, just like you.

So you like when courts agree with you but use notwithstanding clause to violate rights of Albertans when you don't? Which is it, Premier?
Premier Danielle Smith and Minister of Justice Mickey Amery released the following statement on the Federal Court of Appeal decision on the Emergencies Act: We are pleased that the Federal Court of Appeal has sided with Alberta that the use of the Emergencies Act by the federal
