Ok. Let’s address the elephant in the room. It’s fairly common for any Bill to pass first reading. Even with a UCP majority in the Legislature, all NDP bills have passed first readings Now is the time to let all MLA’s know you’re watching their 2nd vote very, very closely.

Write your MLA’s and let them know that their second vote will inform just how aggressively you work to see them recalled or unelected. Put the fear of god into them. There’s procedure to hide behind on a first vote. Make sure there is only accountability after the next.

I’m done being polite about this. My kid is transgender. MY CHILD. A real human being with a heart, a future, and a right to exist safely in this province. And Alberta just invoked the notwithstanding clause AGAIN — this time to force through laws that directly harm kids like
I knew that this day was coming. The UCP had been warning for months that they were going to take away the rights of transgender people (not just children but adults too). I thought I was prepared. But I am still very angry that it has happened.

4…the consequences of public inaction on your part is rapidly approaching. If you can’t afford $5000/yr memberships to a clinic, you better take to the streets now.

3…many of us have struggled paying debts established pre-2019 with incomes slashed post-2019. You can’t expect many of us to stay public especially as the govt continues to victimize those in the public system. Once these proposals are law, the leap will happen quickly…4

2…get back to being remunerated closer to what they are worth. The first to leap will be the ones most successful. And when they get paid better, they will be able to pay staff better and have shorter wait times as their patient population curates themselves…3

To all my patients, and to all Albertans: with the coming amendments to the AHCIA, family physicians in this province will be given the option of transitioning from a public system (where many have suffered OVER 50% cuts since 2019) to a private system where they can…2
The UCP has updated the section of their website that previously had their public health guarantee… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Right on cue, it seems polio might be circulating again in Europe. One unvaxxed kid can bring that on a direct flight to Calgary. To a population that is 70% vaxxed? Below herd immunity requirements. Who makes iron lungs these days? Maybe it’s time to invest? Capitalism!

Wow…these stories in isolation would trigger most human govts into action. Certainly a string of these stories. But @ABDanielleSmith doesn’t care about you. You’re not a corporate donor. Silly tax-payer. Get back to work. These cronies don’t pay themselves.
RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #4 A male in his 20s with severe asthma, very short of breath and having trouble breathing. Presents in distress to his local ED - but it is closed, and he didn't know. He calls 911 for help, and there are no ambulances available to respond.. 1/5

With the recent announcements that openAI needs govt handouts to cover the expense of training ChatGPT…the irony might be that it’s cheaper to train humans. Will the govt protect AI jobs from being stolen by humans?

You must fact-check every sentence that @JeffreyRWRath says. He is a pathological liar, with no concern for the truth.
@JeffreyRWRath @That_Bebbzy_Guy Its called responsible farming! Over 60 birds died....tests were + for H5N1. Notice how there weren't farmers there "protecting" the birds Jeff?? That's because they knew it had to happen! You grifters are alike!

Dear Alberta-political-parties-other-than-the-UCP: stop with whatever BS strategy you think you are using. Despite most Albertans being sick of the UCP sh!t, whatever you are doing is still enabling their persistence. Start kicking balls or resign.

Interesting. A have counted dozens (so far) of accounts that are a) new (started in 2025), b) I have never interacted with c) have all blocked me, d) are all pro-RW, anti-union, anti-public services, e) they are commenting aggressively against democratic/grassroots processes

@rebeccakschulz Why is an alleged environment minister at all concerned about doubling oil and gas production? That's some other minister's job. Or is @BrianJeanAB incompetent?

Martin Luther King Jr: "Riot is the language of the unheard." JFK: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." I'm not advocating anything. I am just suggesting people know their history.

5...If you attempt this, the larger group will eliminate the smaller instigator group. At that moment provincial law likely won't exist. You better understand the game you are forcing us to play. Some of us might be practicing their response for when the time is right...6
