I might not seem like your average patient for a complex modifier - but I have ADHD & after my car accident it triggered thyroid & gut problems. Because my Dr. spent more than 10 minutes she was able to make a hashimotos diagnosis. What's your story? #morethantenminutes #AbLeg

@LauraDozerpup65 @LPC_Hack Scott was kicked out because he said that if the budget didn't have a couple changes made to it that he would vote against it. - He was knocked out for that Facebook post.

@LPC_Hack I agree, considering all Peter Guthrie did was bring up the topic of the corrupt care scandal and he was kicked out and Scott Sinclair was kicked out because he did not vote on the budget so I think he should also be kicked out

This should be grounds for expulsion and is in direct contradiction of the oath that Jason Stephan would’ve been sworn in on.

MAYBE SHE SPEAKS HER INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE!!!

@paulparrazzilvr @Heatherforsyth8 @SonyaSharpYYC 90,496 people voted for Sonya Sharp, only just over 600 less than our mayor. Do you think that the opinions of all those who voted for her don't matter?

@Heatherforsyth8 @SonyaSharpYYC If Calgarians wanted to hear from her they would have voted for her.

Good for @SonyaSharpYYC for presenting to council on her thoughts on rezoning. It shows a lot of class taking the time to present after not winning the mayor race. Thanks

I’m sorry what

Wow. Just wow. And this is where we are now? And the UCP ministers laughing and encouraging this behaviour? What a disgrace. Truly. He has an eye condition Premier. A medical health issue. Alberta - we deserve better. So much better. @albertaNDP @nenshi

@PfParks, A recently dismissed former AHS Board member says BLG (Borden Ladner Gervais) completed a forensic audit ordered by Athana Mentzelopoulos. Allegedly, the day before the Board was to receive it, the AHS Board was dismissed by the CEO and @AdrianaLaGrange , a Board that had just been appointed by @ABDanielleSmith. So the questions are simple: 1. Where is that forensic audit, and what does it say? 2. Why was the Board dismissed before receiving it? 3. Are there findings Albertans should know about? Albertans deserve answers. @AuditorGenAB @RCMPAlberta @CarrieTait @nenshi @JMeddings @BradenMannsYYC @TheBreakdownAB @Ableg #Abpoli

@TheBreakdownAB @BSwirlsi Which UCP MLA recently said in the Legislature- that Albertans want the NDP to work with the UCP to make things better for Albertans? They could have led by example with this bill. UCP just doesn’t want to be called out for looking after their self interest.

Let’s be precise. Millions of Canadians are not paid 12 million dollars a year to lead a company that is legally bound by the Official Languages Act. That standard exists for a reason. It comes with the job. It is not optional. Framing this as a struggle of “ordinary Canadians versus elites” is simply not grounded in reality. In Ottawa, the vast majority of deputy ministers are Anglophone. In cabinet, francophone ministers have often presented in English. I do not recall many, if any, Anglophone ministers presenting in French. The imbalance you are pointing to is not where you suggest it is. This is not about sidelining anyone. It is about leadership and responsibility. Mr. Rousseau has lived in Quebec for two decades. His spouse is francophone. He leads a national carrier subject to federal law. He publicly committed years ago to learning French. After hundreds of hours of tutoring, in a moment that required dignity and respect, he could not deliver even a few sentences in the language of one of the victims and their family. That is not about control. That is about priority. And let’s be honest about the lived reality of this country. Francophones who move into majority Anglophone environments adapt quickly because they must. They do not have the luxury of opting out. That expectation has never been controversial. Yet when the expectation is reversed at the highest levels of leadership, it suddenly becomes a debate about fairness. It is not. Canada made a foundational choice. Two official languages. Not one and a half. Not when convenient. Not when it is easy. In moments of tragedy, language is not a technicality. It is how you show respect. It is how you honour people. It is how you lead. Reducing this to a question of control or elite pressure misses the point entirely and risks turning a matter of basic respect into an unnecessary division.

Other countries get by without a notwithstanding clause in their charters because they don't have them. Recall, Andrew, that inclusion of the clause was a major compromise in 1982, to pacify western provinces who wanted it. Otherwise, the Constitution would not have been amended in 1982.

The two solitudes of the Air Canada CEO controversy. If you grew up in Quebec, as I did, you probably understand the anger. If you didn't, you might not. You can find it over the top/misplaced, but its genuine, emotions are raw, let's remember the lives lost and try to be kind.

@davek682 @KnightLegg The PM didn't summon him, a committee did.

@KnightLegg Is it just me or is there something fundamentally wrong where a Prime Minister can summon a CEO of a corporation at will?

Imagine you’re the CEO of Air Canada…. ….sleepless and dealing with a brutal tragedy in real time with vast US and Canadian media coverage - and your PM decides to hit you with a cheap shot saying you lack ‘compassion’ because you lack excellent French language skills. But you’re the CEO of a regulated industry so he knows you can’t punch back. Even though his own French is carefully stage-managed. And the Governor General can barely speak it. The PM chose to use a national tragedy to score marginal political points with the Quebec language police. Tone deaf and gross. Je veux dire, c'est grotesque et d'une insensibilité totale.

@coffeeinhand77 @BenMulroney Who says that's the case? There's a difference between politicians responding to comments & questions from Québécois(e) & journalists about something and saying that it matters more than dead people & those grieving. Speaking in a family's first language is part of showing value

@BenMulroney I am from Quebec. I grew up bilingual and I still think it's disrespectful to the pilots that this country cares more about language laws than what actually happened. The MSM is running with it while Carney is using it to his advantage (by-election in Terrebonne)

I speak French, Marc. And I criticized the timing of the government position, but I also didn’t shrug it off. Of course this is an issue. But out of respect for the fallen pilots, this could’ve waited until after the funerals.

@paulvieira @WSJ Still not speaking to the family of a deceased employee who I expect would like to be validated and feel seen.

“I am deeply saddened that my inability to speak French has diverted attention from the profound grief of the families and the great resilience of Air Canada’s employees,” Air Canada CEO Rousseau said in a statement. wsj.com/world/americas… via @WSJ

@TristinHopper The current CEO didn't make that 43 years happen. He's responsible for the current presentation of the company.

Air Canada has gone 43 (!) years without a fatal incident. My entire life up to this point has been lived in a country where the flag carrier never got a single person killed in a crash. The record is a totem to what serious people can accomplish. So naturally, Mark Carney is screaming at them to instead focus on nonsense.

Two weeks after Smith appointed Sam Mraiche’s accountant to the board of Invest Alberta… She apparently used taxpayer dollars to fly him to the UAE. But sure, nothing to see here. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

@_northwords The results of the Investigation will tell. I heard reports that there were only 2 air traffic controllers on duty at the time.

@Ashantz6 This is absolutely the worst partisan garbage I have read today, and there's no end to the garbage. People that re-post filth from an even filthier degenerate like Blundell need to get their head checked. I'd absolutely fire anyone if they posted this shit and if that was something that could be done. Because you just demonstrated how much of a liability you are. Do better!

@boehmerB How do we know that that's the original?

Did NDP staffers step in to try to stop Nenshi from embarrassing himself? He looks absolutely foolish now given his statements. calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

@jkenney You do realize that the flight was from Montreal, many of the passengers were francophone, and the deceased pilot was francophone. It is basic decency for Air Canada's CEO to address those affected in their language. As for the crash, we don't control the investigation or US ATC

@AlexRMcColl Oh gosh! No...

Not sure why I was getting blamed for Craig’s website. I think Dan would be a fine MLA.
