Tuesday evening, I appeared on CTV’s Alberta Prime Time, to talk about the referendum, separatism, and the ugly immigration questions. Here’s my conversation with host Michael Higgins. #ableg #abpoli #notothenine #cdnpoli #Alberta

Let's talk about what is actually CURRENTLY happening in AB for surgical care: We are sending kids home with painful broken arms, to await surgery because we no longer have the staff to do it same day! Elderly pts are waiting days in hospital, in pain, with a broken hip. 1/2

Very grateful to @thetyee.ca for reprinting my recent Senate speech on Alberta’s racist referendum questions. #senca #cdnpoli #Alberta #abpoli

Let's talk PROFITIZATION of healthcare Dual Billing is Step Three of the 3 step plan by govt 1 - Help pay to build private facilities 2 - Force more care in these private facilities 3 - Allow Dual Billing without any discussion - drives workforce to private facilities

Hey AB, get your vaccines... our HC system is already struggling. The waits in our EDs are astronomical, and only going to get worse. Do your part to protect yourself, your loved ones, and our overburdened HC system. I got Influenza + Covid vaccines same day...

Naomi Klein Is Spot On.......

Four former deans of medicine in Alberta have joined a growing chorus of critics asking Ottawa to intervene in the province’s dual-practice health care model, which allows eligible doctors to toggle between the public and private systems. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Putting a human face on the Smith government's xenophobic referendum questions is important. These are not about the immigration system. They are about immigrants - humans, workers, taxpayers, neighbours, family members. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

My latest on why I'm voting No to the Nine and Lead Not Leave. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/ten-questi...

The Smith government's claim that immigrants are a drain on public coffers? Bullshit. Debunked. Vote No to the Nine to stop the scapegoating. Hold the government to account. thetyee.ca/News/2026/09...

This post is ten years old and still accurate. #climatechange

Wise. This was like getting off the ship right before someone says “is that an iceberg?” ✌️❤️🇨🇦

A Message From The Government of Canada Regarding the US Trade War

Hey Canadians, if you're out looking for a new car, search for those with Vin numbers that start with the No. 2. Those cars are made in Canada!

And so it begins 🤮

Don’t fall for their immigration misinformation.

Bill Nye breaks down the Science of Skin Color and shows why Racism is Ridiculous.

"I have cerebral palsy. I am not on AISH. I am not on ADAP. But I have sat across kitchen tables from people who are, watched what this summer has done to their faces, and I have never in all my years writing this column felt as let down by this province as I do right now." #Alberta #abpoli

Great to see that Michael J. Fox will receive the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the Emmys in September in recognition of his contributions to Parkinson’s disease research and advocacy. His scenes in the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode “Larry vs. Michael J. Fox” is comedy gold.

“The Premier ran last election on a ‘Public Health Guarantee,’ repeatedly promising that her government would not delist any medical procedures from public funding and that no Albertans would have to pay out of pocket to access care. Yet here we are." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

UCP TAKES ANOTHER STEP IN DISMANTLING HEALTH CARE #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

“This could end Canadian medicare as we know it.” “That’s the chilling conclusion of a recent report on Alberta’s push to create a privatized, U.S.-style health care system in the province.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli breachmedia.ca/pandoras-box...

Get you mail in ballot here for the referendum. Seriously. Do it. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.elections.ab.ca/resources/me...

This is a very useful resource for understanding the racist and useless referendum questions on offer to Albertans this fall. knowthenine.ca

Happy Canada Day Eve! I will be leaving maple cookies and Canadian milk out for Bryan Adams. We’re better off together. We’re better hand in hand. #CanadaDay

Danielle Smith - “Well everyone, Stampede was almost toast this year, but I saved it! You’re welcome”. (Stampede was never threatened, music tents completely off of the Stampede Grounds had some slightly more stringent early morning noise restrictions) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Corb Lund: “I requested to have editorial control over the framing of my question and she looked me in the eye and said well, we have a particular outcome we want for these questions so we frame them a certain way.” WOW there it is

Remember: just like the referendum questions on immigration, the UCP's anti-Indigenous rhetoric is calculated to divide and distract through rage baiting. Don't bite. Call it out, but stay focused on what they don't want the public to notice. And check-in on your neighbours who are being targeted.

It's hard to accept Premier Smith's call on chiefs to "check themselves" for asking for an RCMP investigation into treason... ...when her most trusted advisors admit that their plan is "treasonous" and "illegal." Her own team has introduced those words into the discussion.

An Alberta man… appears to have died by suicide after sending a lengthy message to government officials, media and advocates criticizing the transition from AISH to a new disability program.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Danielle Smith appointed Jack Mintz to a panel making the economic case to remain in Canada. The same Jack Mintz who said Alberta has more reason to Albexit than Britain did for Brexit. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It’s time to stand up for the country we love - and the province we love. Time to stand up for authentic Alberta values. Whatever happens today, I’m saying yes to Canada, and no to politics of hate and division. #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli
