@cassko @agirlopinions @daleethompson Giving someone the option of no real care or MAID is coercion. We were already more likely to be denied a vent during COVID. It’s not good when someone else either decides you don’t deserve decent QoL, or that you just could never have a decent QoL because of disability.

@agirlopinions @daleethompson You have to apply. Don’t apply.

People shitting all over MAID here in Canada are fucked up. Y’all got a terminal illness that’s painful to the bitter end and the government offers you a dignified & easy as fuck way to end it all without a gun, pills or noose. What in the name of fuck are you mad about?

@daleethompson Except it’s not "voluntary or dignified" when instead of being offered the supports and treatments people need instead doctors and nurses are suggesting to patients that MAID is either their best or only option—this is called coercion through denial of adequate care.

This👇 Excellent reporter Govt has been in power three yrs and still the ministers have no clue how beds they need or are being built… They just get up there and re-announce beds that aren’t even in the plan to plan stages…

@DBlossius @KathleenGanley I guess an American wouldn’t understand the difference between NPCs and MLAs.

@KathleenGanley "Autocracy" 😂it's almost endearing when NPCs start parroting the Big Words they soak up from the press.

A group of Camrose lawyers, including two former conservative Attorneys General, are speaking out against the UCP’s moves towards autocracy. A government that tramples rights and makes special rules for thier friends is not a partisan issue. #ableg

@FergHodgson @KathleenGanley You’re American. Why do you care?

@KathleenGanley "Autocracy." This is your brain on partisanship.

@KybrdWrrr @JenniferWyness Mayor was posting on Facebook that community leaders were dead when they weren’t.

@JenniferWyness Where is the Mayor? After a damning report, he should’ve held a 9 a.m. press conference.

Last night, with less than 24 hrs of review the Mayor and 6 members of #yyccc tried to pass the first step in privatization of #yyc drinking water utility with zero public consultation. Every one who is concerned about the privatization of drinking water should write their Cllr

@neufeld65466 @JenniferWyness We voted on that. Where were you when the vote happened?

@JenniferWyness I’d like to know how Gondek and the last council took it upon themselves to reintroduce fluoride back into OUR water system. It’s a known neurotoxin. Again - lots of questions but never any answers.

@JenniferWyness I hate that I can’t see this one online yet. I want to know who voted what on it and full details of what was voted on. This is a public service we as taxpayers pay for. I’m not paying to line the pockets of a CEO.

Only in Alberta can DS make you grateful to have cancer (yes I’ll be fine). At least I can get a needed vaccine. Too bad my household can’t.

@FionaMattatall Ooph. Unfortunately we recently had a construction site raid in Calgary. With CPS and Border Services. With the new event centre. NICE wasn’t in attendance.

@gilmcgowan Aren’t they also locked out? Mixed messages from this government.

Looks like the UCP is going to ignore our warning and use the Notwithstanding Clause against teachers. Here’s Smith’s deputy chief of staff claiming that the clause was created to end protracted strikes. It has literally NEVER been used that way. He’s making up history and law.

@TheRealDKGray Whew. Thank you. This hit me today and needed it. But also feeling sorrow for Dr. Marklands family.

My heart is going out to Darren’s family this morning. I know the routine all too well. The visit with the funeral director, making choices that seem both perpetually important and totally meaningless. The lawyers, and bankers, the paper work. The endless details, done through tear brimmed eyes, and that knife through the Adam’s apple that only comes from sorrow. The condolences from family and friends, neighbours and strangers, the familiar and the distant. There’s a good month where that just happens, day after day, keeping you busy, occupied, distracted. But then it stops. People around you go back to their normal lives, while you can never go back to yours. Your life becomes a temporary encampment, tending a fire besides the hole where they used to live. The empty spaces where they used to be. The silences where they used to speak. They say that you need to complete those conversations for yourself, through work in therapy. But, you never really can. Time does not heal all wounds. You just have to hope the scaring isn’t debilitating, and work towards that. I know the Marklands are not alone grieving this week. Many other families lose loved ones every day. This week was no different. We don’t think about all those other families, because we don’t know them. But remember, that person who seems absent minded, the woman stuck at the green light, the man fumbling to pay for groceries, may be enduring a loss that should have them bawling on the ground. That will come, when they get home. So, in honour of our friend, let’s be kind to each other. Treat everyone like they are grieving a loved one. You will be correct more often than not.

@TheBreakdownAB I have a suggestion for the book ban people. Can we send in the Librarians to have just a word with them? youtu.be/vIwPEn4LzL8

From the DM’s… Oh boy. Looks like tomorrow is gonna be a day. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I think we need to send the Night Call team to the #AlbertaGovernment for a chat. Specifically the librarians. #AbPoli #AbLeg youtu.be/vIwPEn4LzL8?si…
