Dire and frankly terrifying words from Edmonton emergency physician Dr. Warren Thirsk. The scenarios he describes are no doubt playing out in emergency departments all across Canada. Health care is in shambles, but we can still afford to subsidize oil and gas! 😠

Our govt refuses to declare the ED crisis or to act!

Dan Levy Calls Out Shane Gillis’ ‘SNL’ Monologue and Says ‘More Men Need to Be Standing Up’: ‘Speechless That Something Like That Can Exist on Live National Television’
"Schitt's Creek" star Dan Levy is calling out Shane Gillis' "Saturday Night Live" monologue, saying that "more men need to be standing up."

The whole Shane Gillis SNL thing is just another reminder that it's so easy to be a shitty, lazy comedian if you're just willing to expose the fact that you a) hate women and b) haven't had an original joke idea since the Reagan administration
Bank of Canada security officers have been on strike for 100+ days. The Bank has been caught twice violating federal anti-scab law and even hired Pinkertons, a contractor notorious for violent strikebreaking. PM Carney says he stands with workers. Why won't he condemn this corporate lawbreaking?
DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

No we didn't vote for this - and Carney didn't campaign on it. 😡 Are NDPers who voted Liberal feeling any buyer's remorse yet?
Don Davies@donvdavies.bsky.social · last mo.BREAKING: Liberals plan to sell off airport operations in major cities. Result? Higher costs for travellers, poorer service and foreign ownership of infrastructure critical to our national security. That’s what happened in places like Heathrow. Canadians did not vote for this.
“We need an Ozempic for cars. They are growing at a phenomenal rate, wreaking havoc on roads, squeezing out smaller vehicles and endangering pedestrians. Like ever-hungry teenagers, cars in Europe are growing on average a centimetre wider every year.” Don’t repeat North America’s mistake, Europe.

A US-linked network of fake websites is promoting Alberta separatism to AI chatbots
The websites present crude, AI-generated slop disguised as the voice of real Albertans. But they're made in Florida — and they're not even targeting Albertans directly.

Dying of cancer in your mid-40s leaving behind 3 young kids because u smoked your whole adult life, like my older brother did. Feels like yet another manipulative “big tobacco” marketing campaign to me.
