It’s been a real pleasure to represent the constituents of Edmonton-Whitemud over the last 4 years. I’m looking forward to working hard over the next 6 months. #ableg #yyc #yeg #abvote

@Stockwell_Day I cannot imagine a worse life than being governed by a coalition of evangelical reverends and plutocratic blowhards for their maximum personal gain. I can see why you think you think that’s Heaven.

Manitoba aims to recruit U.S. doctors with campaign touting health care system with "zero political interference between you and your patient." Smart. Too bad Alberta can't say the same. #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

$240,000 to solve an orthopedic surgery disruption, but UCP Minister Adriana LaGrange (@AdrianaLaGrange) said no instead pointed to Alberta's support of private for-profit surgeries. They are starving the public health care system to privatize. #ableg cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

If the Alberta government capitulates to big business lobbyists and prematurely forces more urban sprawl, that would be one of the most financially ruinous decisions in Alberta history. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

@CraigBaird There used to be a cairn west of Headingly marking the middle of Canada. In Rugby ND there is a cairn declaring it to be the center of North America.

The longitudinal centre of Canada is located just east of Winnipeg. The latitudinal centre is at 62 degrees 24 minutes north. The geographical centre of Canada is south of Yathkyed Lake, Nunavut. But what about the provincial geographical centres? Let's learn more! 🧵1/15

It's a matter of quantity. Oxygen is toxic at a high enough level. Anything is. The obvious question is....how much selenium is healthy. Much less than coal mines will put in our water.
Bruce Shelly@ShellyBruces

@CorbLund Selenium is not an issue. In fact I get it from my Costco multivitamin.

May I suggest, instead of lining the pockets of multi-billionaires and buy items at full retail for our @yegfoodbank (thus retail make profits off of our most vulnerable), you give a cash donation directly to the foodbanks. They have real purchasing power to buy items much cheaper. Please go to this link. edmontonsfoodbank.com/donate-now/

Submitting an application for a public Art call is not for the faint of heart. Luckily it was successfully submitted and now we wait months to hear. #abarts #yegarts

Hey Alberta. U like being on the hook for billion$ for orphan wells? You're gonna LOVE selenium contaminated rivers and ground water from coal mines. Same AB regulator oversees both. 100% taxpayers'll be paying 4 massive cleanup when the foreign mining cos go home. Old playbook.

@JasonNixonAB So, if I understand correctly, your plan is to law-enforce your way out of a homelessness epidemic, and have identified the homeless as the enemy that Edmontonians need to be protected from? And this was the sound bite you decided to lead with? Seems on brand.

We have surpassed our initial goal of $8500! I'm blown away by the support -- my family and I are so grateful. With a week of pre-trial upcoming my legal bill is set to balloon again. I'm going to set the goal to $20K. gofund.me/a9d637ad

Alberta company being investigated for supplying Canadian Tire with low-wage foreign workers. The 'supply' of workers isn't the issue, it's the fact that this bloodsucker of a company charged workers more than $10k each, in addition to charging Canadian Tire. #ableg

#Ableg FACT Yesterday, Premier Smith dropped a BOMBSHELL: 3,400,000 Albertans will be SLAMMED with at least a 15% hike in car insurance rates between 2025 and 2026. For families this means an EXTRA $600 per year! The UCP: Making life unaffordable for Albertans since 2019!

Nate Horner@NateHornerAB

Yesterday, along with Premier @ABDanielleSmith and @neudorf_ab, I announced that we will be changing our auto insurance system to provide better, faster, and cheaper policies to Albertans. Starting in 2027, 3.4 million drivers will save on average $400 a year!
