Frostbite amputations in Edmonton have skyrocketed over 500% since the UCP took office. Over half were performed on people experiencing homelessness. We need a provincial government that works with municipalities to invest in social & supportive housing. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

This tragic situation in Ontario is a stark reminder of the importance of getting your influenza vaccination. 37 Canadians died since August from flu. Like all of medicine, no vaccine is perfect but this vaccine has important value. By @HannahAlberga thestar.com/life/three-chi…

Babies are now dying every day in Gaza as Israel blocks any building materials from entering. On the other side of their wall Israeli children eat McDonalds, swim in pools and go to bed in warm homes. They destroyed 92% of Gaza's homes, this is what total evil looks like.

Realistically, since the election, Pierre Poilievre has been and continues to be little more than a distraction for PM Carney. The problem Canada, and PM Carney, faces are these three. Poilievre has no real political power at this point, they do. They are the immediate threat. 🇨🇦

Dr. Biswas is Canadian. He's specialized in geriatrics and public health. In Canada he's worked as receptionist. He's passed our medical exams. But he's not done 2 years of Ontario high school. For Ontario - he's not good enough. Textbook discrimination. thestar.com/news/gta/inter…

The so-called “Alberta independence” movement is really an effort to turn Alberta into the 51st state in Donald Trump’s America. The mask isn’t just slipping, they’ve pulled it off entirely.

Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 70,373 Palestinians, with near-daily attacks continuing during a so-called ‘ceasefire,’ amid widespread destruction and worsening weather conditions.

In today’s Legislative Assembly ⬇️ @nenshi asked the Premier to explain her relationship with Sam Mraiche. Her response was nothing but lies and deflection. She dragged out a story about “racism against Muslims” to dodge the real issue: why was a major government contractor sitting in that election-night suite with her senior advisers? Instead of answering a straightforward question, she pivoted into excuses and distractions. Classic Smith — when the facts get uncomfortable, change the story. #ableg

Thanks, @ChristinaNDP, this is an extremely important question. Hundreds of thousands of Alberta workers and pensioners suffered losses to their retirement savings because of AIMCo’s reckless VOLTs strategy. Now the UCP is passing a law to shield AIMCo of accountability. Shame!
Christina Gray@ChristinaNDP

A few years ago the UCP took control of several major pension funds & forced them to let AIMCo control their investments. AIMCo then lost billions on what became known as the VOLTS scandal. 1/2🧶 #ABPoli #ABLeg #Bill12

Wow. Today on @PnPCBC, Algoma Steel president Michael Garcia delivered a pretty catastrophic blow to the head of Poilievre and his Cons, stating that the industrial carbon tax not only isn’t destructive; it oppositely ends up being *beneficial* for his industry.
