Imagine if the NDP, the Liberals, Green Party , or even a real conservative party did this. The UCP would be screaming louder than Parker at a pride parade. Let's remember that there is no more "Albertans" money. Just one giant UCP slush fund. We want to get your money back!

The seemingly inevitable has happened. I am losing my family doctor of 20 years.
I am a family doctor looking after a panel of 1600 patients.
Cannot find a family doctor for myself.
Primary care needs urgent stabilization and support!

Seems to me it was the job of the press to figure out George Santos was a phony BEFORE the election.

Here's something I've been thinking about lately:
Does society need psychopaths? Do they exist for an Evolutionary purpose?

I've started investing in stocks: beef, chicken, vegetable...
One day I hope to become a bouillonaire.

In Canada, we wisely have built big box stores farms that you drive frozen cars from store to store, while shuttering the malls that allowed people to walk between in warmth….they say its progress, but they lie all the time.

And the FAA again bends to Elon's will destroying wildlife and natural resources along the way.
Contact your rep and tell them to investigate Musk and why the FAA is letting him get away with, literally, murder.
#FunFact: clumping cat litter was invented in Pissberg, Pennsylvania, and simultaneously in the city of Fart Sausage, Saskatchewan.

X has taken its stance. Nazis on the platform are allowed. Pro-Hitler posts are allowed. Holocaust denial is allowed.
If you stay on a platform like that, you can't escape this creeping normalization. Even if you think you can.
"Oh, there goes another Holocaust denier. Just part of being online, I guess."
"Oh, another transphobe calling people dehumanizing slurs. Well that's the Internet for you."
Creeping normalization is like advertising. Even if you think it won't influence you, it will.
