Candida auris, a drug resistant fungus with a mortality rate up to 60 percent, has infected 3,130 people across 23 states this year. More than 95 percent of tested strains resist the first line antifungal treatment. The agency tracking it has lost a quarter of its workforce.

Danielle Smith is actually defending this racist banner? That won’t repair relationships with First Nations or help get major projects built. No wonder Chiefs unanimously voted non-confidence in Smith and the UCP.

You should expect the pipeline to get fast-tracked. That's the whole point here -- it removes excuses about federal approvals and reveals the real, and longstanding, impediment to Danielle Smith's dreams of doubling oil production: economics. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/08/04/n...

Disinformation alert: While "mail-in ballots" are prohibited this fall, voting by "Special Ballot" is allowed. The OC states that the process "does not prevent advance voting... or voting by a Special Ballot..." "Special Ballot" is simply another term for voting by mail.

Tiffany Forster@eclectif.bsky.social · 13h ago

Jared, have you seen this?

You guys… This ain’t that. All this OIC means is that the referendum cannot be conducted by mail only. Special ballots are mail in. They are allowed, just not as the only method. And available. And you should sign up. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Since Gaza the coverage by Canadian Press has gone from one-sided pro Israel to outright propaganda to actively fanning disinformation and fear. These headlines have dangerous geopolitical implications with Trump's open threat against Canada. But the @thestar.com helps spread the BS.

Here's another nose-stretcher from the Canadian Press. Some dude claims Canada is as anti-semitic as Nazi Germany and national media give him an unquestioned platform. Isn't there someone in an editorial newsroom somewhere who asks the obvious question "Why would we repost such bullshit?"

UCP's plan to put citizenship markers on driver's licenses is an absolute disaster: 1) many seniors don't have a passport/birth certificate easily accessible 2) people are unable to renew their driver's license, risking their employment 3) ID changes put healthcare at risk too #ableg #abpoli

The UCP does not condone hate speech, but foments it by attacking First Nations and their Chiefs regularly.
