Working on a story about methane pollution and came across this group’s letter campaign. You know what to do.
@DavidM_yeg has an important #PSA for #Albertans:
@mpjgregoire @dandrezner I suppose it makes sense. The US was supposed to be the main superpower that would facilitate a global system of trade rules via the World Trade Organization. Before the Gaza War broke out, the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel were about to enter a new regional agreement for economic trade in the region, and the Palestinians were not given any thought in the arrangement.
After years of Israel’s punishing bombings on Gaza, even Saudi Arabia would find it difficult to return to the negotiating table without raising serious frustration from its own citizens.
Now that the US has run illegal tariffs, throwing the existing WTO system on its head, allies and enemies alike must readjust their market outlooks with the assumption that the US was no longer going to cooperate to a global system of free trade that it helped establish.
For the coup de gras, the US has been outmaneuvered on the global stage by its proxy in Israel. Basically, ensnaring the former superpower into investing billions of dollars, and its limited military resources into the Middle East on a dead end. Perhaps facing back to back embarrassments both domestically and internationally, there’s no where to go from there other than to break down the American republic itself to extend the run on power for as long as possible.
Enter Dictator Trump.

Incredible.
"Out of 196,901 entries, 118,574 duplicates and 932 blank entries were removed, resulting in a total of 77,395 responses."
The survey results about book banning are out and the government discarded 60% of the surveys.
What on earth is going on here?

@snowdolphin #abhealth #ableg I thought the recent announcement was to be enacted in August. Try calling around to pharmacies...they have to have product left FCS...we just heard her tell us all.
Our family is traveling overseas in a few weeks. Just tried to get #covid booster for us all. Was told that because we are not over 65 or immunocompromised that we are not eligible to receive the latest booster. New #UCP slogan - "Keeping the public out of public healthcare." Wow. #ableg #abpoli #abhealth
This is BIG everyone.
The UCP Cabinet quietly moved 288 communications staffers and the budget of $38 million to report directly to the Premier.

The public affairs bureau has always at least tried to appear as though they were not under the political control of whatever government was in power.
That is officially no longer the case. They are openly declaring it to be partisan.

“This is an extremely dangerous policy that will increase health care costs as well as stress on the health care system. This policy is wrong for health care workers and wrong for all Albertans," said Heather Smith, president of the United Nurses of Alberta (UNA), in a statement."
