This is how the UCP would swing PR with their mismanagement of Alberta's health system. @drdagly @JasonPYYC

As govt digs in, ABs should remember govt has chosen NOT to prioritize investing in education (and HC)…
INSTEAD:
100s Millions tax dollars wasted on:
- arenas
- private school builds
- coal mine settlements
- unusable Tylenol
- sole source inflated contracts…
And more…

Hi @LukaszukAB I just wrote a Substack essay on what Alberta separating from Canada would really mean — not just politics, but everyday life. Since you’re a strong pro-Canada voice, I thought it might resonate. If you think it’s worthwhile, please share:

Monarez: "On the morning of August 25, Secretary Kennedy demanded two things of me that were were inconsistent with my oath of office and the ethics required of a public official. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause. He said if I was unwilling to do both, I should resign."

Sure is a good thing the province removed deterrents like photo radar!
People are being responsible and following the rules of the road!

Your reminder that Moderna’s newly updated COVID vaccine, targeting the LP.8.1 variant, has been approved by Health Canada and, for the first time, will be manufactured in Canada. So I fully expect those of us who want it to be able to get it. When? I would think late October.

Last image for a bit. The Lion Nebula over the last few (gorgeous) nights. Lots of oxygen here (blue) and a rich star region. High in the sky over northern latitudes at the moment.

We did a study on why so few people in Alberta are getting the COVID-19 vaccine and found a lot of it had to do with the UCP government, actually.
I’ll link the full thread below.
Albertans deserve a health system that protects them - and respects their investment in it.
Read my latest Op-Ed in the Edmonton Journal on why Alberta is taking a smarter, more targeted approach to COVID-19 vaccinations.

Oh Alberta… I’ve only been gone 14 years and I hardly recognize you anymore. 🤷♀️. Part of my chat with @ryanjespersen on @RealTalkRJ today
