I’m officially the only person on this flight wearing a mask. Planes always felt like breeding grounds for disease to me, even prior to
#COVID19
. I’d always catch a cold after a flight of any length. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever get on a plane again without one.

What's next
@Westjet
?
Standing room only?
Pay extra for a seatbelt?
Bathroom fee?
If these things weren't regulated I'm confident you'd be charging extra for them.
Will be cancelling my WJ mastercard today.
BREAKING: More than 150 CEOs and Canadian tech leaders have signed an open letter calling on the federal government to stop capital gains tax hikes announced in this week's budget.
Read the letter and add your name here:
LaGrange is going to be HEALTH MINISTER? The same person who was PRESIDENT of an anti-abortion, pro forced-birth organization?!
Sh*t just got scary for anyone who values their reproductive rights in Alberta. 🥴

sooo Alberta tax payers will be funding religious hospitals that openly refuse to provide healthcare to those same Albertans based on their personal religious beliefs.
But some how this will fix healthcare?!

I bet if there was an imminent volcano 🌋 eruption in Alberta, there would be a loud contingent of freedumbers
1. refusing to evacuate
2. Blaming Trudeau for the volcano
3. Conspiracies that the volcano was part of a “green agenda” to kill the fossil fuel industry
Swaths of land in Alberta will be barred from hosting renewable power projects under sweeping new rules. The changes include buffer zones around “pristine viewscapes,” no builds on good quality ag land and new reclamation bonds

If no one else has pointed it out yet, Nenshi just won the leadership with 62k votes.
Danielle only got 42k when she won, and it took 6 rounds.

I still cannot get over the pivot from,
“I'm not a doctor I can't give medical advice. How dare you ask me if I'm getting a flu shot or covid vaccine. That’s between me and my doctor”.
to
"here's what I think the medical guidelines for trans youth should be".
Despite being corrected that grants are determined by academic panels and not Justin Trudeau, Smith not only doubles down on that…
She then says that with the powers of Bill 18 she will block renewals of grants if they don’t align with UCP views.

Love this for her!
“Smith’s popularity saw the largest net negative change of any provincial political leader, dropping 18 percentage points, over the past six months.”
The comments on the water situation on here and FB have me convinced that if there was a Chernobyl or toxic leak situation, a not insignificant number of ppl would ignore it for the sake of an absurd commitment to conspiracy or to "own the libs". my gosh.

Hey
@RicMcIver
since municipal things are now your job to do, when you gonna fix the water main break in Calgary? I've had no running water since last night.
From earlier today, Premier Jason Kenney had some issues after filling up his truck with gas. Yet another reason why I would never want to be a politician and surrounded by cameras.
Danielle Smith: don’t do any of the things within our control like masking or boosters proven to prevent harmful COVID effects.
Also Danielle Smith: do everything you can in your control to prevent cancer like smelling essential oils & rubbing crystals on ur bod. 🤦🏻♀️
#abpoli
@ABDanielleSmith
@RachelNotley
then why not encourage PREVENTION when it comes to covid? You know, like with masks and getting boosted and proper ventilation?!
Albertans have spent decades paying into and building these hospitals.. she's gonna sell it off for pennies to a faith-based operator.
By our next election there’ll be nothing left here that’s not owned or managed by a UCP donor.
This guy should get a gold medal for the mental gymnastics it must take to be on EI while he supports a party whose mission it is to gut social programs.
Danielle Smith lied in that video. Puberty blockers ARE reversible. There's no reason to withhold them from someone who is 12, 13, 14.
Withholding puberty blockers and hormone therapy is not a neutral option and can result in an increased risk of mental health issues.
#InternationalWomensDay
seems like a good time to remind people that this guy was appointed the Minister of Status of Women by the UCP.
And now we don't have a ministry of women's affairs at all.
I'm not sure what's worse.

Now's the time for the Liberals and NDP to reach out to CPC with a multiparty investigation into hate against politicians and journalists online. Let's see how Poilievre deals with that.

Danielle Smith, yesterday: "I find it distasteful when billionaires brag about how much control they have over political leaders."
Danielle Smith, today: Let's work together to come up with ways to make sure a billionaire has money for an arena!

the nuttiest thing about the manning report to me is that it gives more power and control to the government.
which is exactly what the "freedom, 'muh rights" crowd is against.

We want to thank our listeners for their feedback about the Government of Alberta’s national ad that was heard on our station. We have chosen to cancel this contract effective today and these ads will cease running on JAZZ.FM91 effective midnight tonight.
~Smith is back and the BS returns
AB is opting out of the federal dental plan, the premier told the Canadian government late Tuesday afternoon
In a letter to PM Trudeau, Danielle Smith said the Canadian Dental Care Plan infringes on provincial jurisdiction

Backed into a corner,
Telling another lie;
He thinks we're all dumb,
And Smith's gifts were fun,
And said, "What a good boy am I!"

Vancouver vs Edmonton.
Let’s make a bet: loser has to deliver a statement in the Legislature written by the winner while wearing the other’s jersey. Deal?
They say this as though they haven't been the ones in charge of that system for the last 46/50 years.
"Fundamental change needed as Alberta health system is 'not working', minister says"
Oil again below $70/bbl. Alberta needs ~$75 to balance and was banking on $80 for the budget.
Hopefully we'll see some serious ideas from both parties around how to ease our dependence on this volatile revenue source.

I went on a date with a dude who was anti-sunscreen and he was all, "there's chemicals in there you don't know.. they could cause cancer."
And I was like,
"Uh, you know what's been PROVEN to give you cancer?
THE SUN."
@DGlaucomflecken
If it made penises fall off but there was a 100% survival rate we would have shut down completely and nobody would be allowed to leave their homes until there was a vaccine and a cure.
I’m in London (entirely at personal expense) to pay respects to Her late Majesty the Queen at the lying in state on behalf of Alberta.
Now a 14+ hr queue. There’s a profound sense of shared grief & affection for HM in this huge, diverse gathering of people from around the world
Danielle Smith:
Albertans wanted me to pamper myself with these hockey tickets from lobbyists, government contractors, and taxpayer funded organizations!

So you wanna separate from Canada EXCEPT for when premature babies need life saving healthcare,
then you’re more than happy to count on help from other provinces, do I have that right?!
🤔
WAIT A SEC.
When it comes to advising ppl to get a flu vaccine she's "Not a doctor, I don't know"...
But when it comes to pushing ivermectin, and stage 1-3 cancer being "totally within your control" she's conveniently an expert to be trusted?
Asked whether she thought Alberta's low flu/covid vaccination rate is a problem, Premier Danielle Smith said she doesn't know because she's not a doctor.
Pressed on what Alberta could do about it, she deferred to her health minister.
