Trump has decided to hold me—rather than Putin—responsible for all the problems. He claims to his supporters that diesel prices in America are rising because of us, — Zelenskyy. I find it wrong and unacceptable that Trump blames me for Russian aggression and the crimes committed by Russia. He is distorting the context, and that is unfair. In my view, this is merely an attempt to divert attention from the situation in Iran and events in the Middle East. The Strait of Hormuz is blocked—that is the true core of the problem. Yet, all of this is being pinned on us, and I, as head of state, am being made a target.

To Albertans who made their voices heard, and to every volunteer who showed up to help build a stronger, more united Canada: thank you.    This is what Canada strong looks like.

Bill Clinton: “I’m tired of the way we treat our allies like dirt. And just last week, President Trump finally did what he threatened to do when he first ran, which is to abandon Ukraine and embrace Vladimir Putin all over again.” I hope the American people are also tired of it

Nine FBI agents investigated the classified documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago. Kash Patel fired all nine. He told Congress it followed "internal investigations." Their lawsuit says there weren't any. Someone's lying to Congress, and I’d bet it’s not the agents.

Albert Premier Danielle Smith said Ontario is sending 19 burn unit nurses and 5 OR nurses to Alberta to help care for injured soldiers from CFB Wainwright. Some victims have burns on 30% to 80% of their bodies and changing the dressings can take up to 2 hours, she said.

Smith insisting the law forced her to put this separation q on the ballot. No. The law required govt to consider the proposed question. And Smith lowered the signature threshold to 177k from 600k. The secessionist option garnered 496,890 votes w 94% of polls reporting.

thanks! it’s been many years since my first-year physiology course, but it’s unclear to me how a drug with good plasma concentrations can achieve high bladder concentrations without also transiting the kidney…

It's not step down. It's transition. There's nothing lesser about it. For review/meta-analysis of 5 RCTs of oral fosfo for pyelo, see our recent letter in CID. 1 of 5 RCTs started oral fosfo up front. No IV. The other had 2-3 days of IV before oral fosfo. academic.oup.com/cid/article…

Had another discussion with an MD concerned re fosfomycin for pyelo because "it doesn't get into the kidney". The damage guidelines have done medicine is incalculable. Perpetetuators of myth & legend. Forcing patients to get IV when they don't need it. It is time for a reckoning.

That referendum sure wasn't worth the money, the division, the political goal of holding the UCP together. It was a political hoax. Column. calgaryherald.com/news/braid… #abreferendum #ableg #yyc #yeg #cdnpoli #abpoli

Danielle is a chameleon who has no moral centre. She will play to whatever side she thinks will re-elect her.
Now, I can’t decide whether I like the last week’s tearful Danielle Smith that coddled separatists and MAGA, or today’s Danielle who appears to have bought a federal Liberal membership and became Captain Canada. Would the real Danielle please stand up! cpac.ca/headline-politics/ep…

We could all use a Mark Carney right now. Just listen to the man. While Musk interferes in Canadian politics and Starlink raises serious questions about technological sovereignty, Carney is investing in Canadian alternatives. This is what leadership looks like. No grovelling, no desperate attempts to flatter billionaires, and no surrendering national security to the whims of one man. Europe, take notes.
PM Mark Carney has confirmed he’s cutting ties with Musk and Starlink and heavily backing a $2.3 billion contract with Telesat Lightspeed. Musk and his mood swings has shown us who he is and we believe him.

#ableg Danielle Smith FORCED Albertans to have the most EXPENSIVE and UNNECESSARY referendum in Canadian history. The only thing Danielle accomplished was MORE division, MORE economic chaos and MORE uncertainty. She has ZERO political capital left She NEEDS to resign.

Bill Clinton on Mark Carney: I'm tired of treating our allies like they're dirt. The prime minister of Canada has been a friend of mine for a long time. We got to know each other having virtually nothing to do with politics. He's about the most well-qualified leader in the world. He's been head of the banks of both the UK and Canada. And we have the gall to suggest that they should become the 51st state.
