I work in progressive politics. I live in rural AB. I occasionally surprise people with one or both of the above.

I received a message from an Alberta ED colleague that stopped me cold. He treated a very elderly pt - a retired Charge Nurse who began her career as WWII ended. She waited 8 hours in the WR for care. Her assessment of our current reality is devastating....

Anyone who doubts an Alberta Police Force would be closer to ICE than the RCMP needs to pay closer attention to detail. And motive.

When Did Volunteers Become the Problem? A Brief Exploration of Deliberative Democracy in Lethbridge

My Last Blog for 2025: When Did Volunteers Become the Problem?
"In gameshow parlance, Council would be pulling off a double whammy: disregarding the service of dedicated volunteers while simultaneously dismantling the deliberative governance spaces that underpin local democracy."

Imagine having only a bell and your weakened voice when you have heart issues and cancer and have been put in a closet to heal.

Imagine having to be the staff that sourced the bell!

This is horrid to everyone and is injurious to staff and patients.

The UCP is trying its damnedest to gut Alberta health careβ€”underpaying staff and blocking unions, severely cutting budgets for the system, and authorizing private health care to enrich insurance companies. All so that she can funnel money towards oil companies and boondoggles.

My dad, 85 years old, suffering from the effects of a 2 year struggle with cancer, and chief of surgery at the Chinook Regional Hospital for decades, was moved from an already overcrowded space to an β€œovercapacity room” while he recovers from a stomach bleed and pneumonia. This is the room. 🧡🧡🧡

The Jasper Wildfire review is damningly clear about one thing: the UCP government exploited a life-and-death moment to play political games.

And in their response to this report, rather than accepting responsibility and promising to do better, they lash out, insult others, and refuse any blame.

A salutary reminder of what happens when a government puts bashing the feds above protecting and supporting the most vulnerable members of our communities.

I sure do love living in the midst of a persistent exposure zone thanks to the failure of my neighbours to do the right thing and get vaccinated. But freedom, amirite?

As a protest against politicians being in charge of election rules, the Longest Ballot folks are organizing to run 200 candidates in the by-election in which Poilievre will be running.

They recently ran 91 candidates in Poilievre's previous riding.

The Premier is addressing Albertans live at 3pm on Monday to discuss the future of Alberta in Confederation.

Nothing that I saw or heard today suggests a groundswell of angst among Albertans. Neither do polls.

If she speaks of a crisis on Monday, it's likely imagined or manufactured.

Who among us has not shared classified information about forthcoming military strikes with journalists, spouses, and siblings. And likely on a private cel phone. If it was anybody else within the Defense Department they would be fired (and perhaps charged), but not the Secretary.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prisonβ€”accused of no crime, with no trialβ€”they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
