We can barely produce enough GPs for the healthcare system so you think that'd behoove us to recognize foreign credentials from more countries than whatever we're doing now (along with all the issues that Canadian medical students going abroad face bc we don't have enough seats for them)

Express Entry has shifted so far right over the past several years that to even get into the selection pool for most professions, you need past work experience in Canada and a diploma from a Canadian university. It’s a big bummer because Canada is truly one of the greatest places on the planet.

4/ Sooo... because of an ideologically zealous government...we struggle to get people who WANT treatment through the front door, while spending hundreds of millions in taxpayer funding to build locked doors for those who don’t.

Anthropic was extremely fucking dumb, is what I'm saying.

Elections Alberta is acknowledging a.) a "handful" of referendum voting packages were mailed out with ballots missing b.) that a declaration threatening $50k fines and 2 years in jail if you can't vote in person was essentially a misprint edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Pls support @nationalobserver.com if you can. It's doing really important investigative work. "According to Patrick McCurdy, a researcher at the University of Ottawa, shaping what AI chatbots tell voters is rapidly becoming “the next terrain of influence” in society." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Gosh, I wonder why Danielle Smith did not respond to an interview request from the New York Times?

This week, Danielle Smith launched the her two-tier, American-style healthcare plan. And when an ER doctor shared his concerns about the impacts on patients, Jason Kenney swooped in to mock him. But as I explain, when it came to improving healthcare, Jason, as Premier, fell well short.#abpoli

Don’t be fooled into thinking the UCP cares about the environment. As David Climenhaga points out in his article, the UCP are “trying to ensure an industry that has to potential to cut into oil and gas profits are losers.” #abpoli #cdnpoli #WaterNotCoal

suzannemck.bsky.social@suzannemck.bsky.social · 12h ago

Grant Hunter: “We will not wait until mountains of dead solar panels are piling up […] before acting.” Meanwhile the UCP are actively working with an Auzzie coal mining company to destroy the beautiful Mountains we do have! #WaterNotCoal #abpoli

www.cbc.ca/listen/li... Listening to Minister LaGrange, I'm astounded that she cannot even answer the basic questions put to her. She's leading the attack on publicly funded HC, and yet can't even answer simple questions. Let's break down her answers: 1/11

Announcing non-binding agreements with industry and telling Indigenous & rural communities with concerns about local infrastructure projects "we're the government you can trust us" is probably not a wise approach and is certainly not grounded in strong historical self-awareness

Remember this when people claim changing ownership of energy assets in and of itself is destabilizing and expensive. The private sector facilitates these transactions all the time to rebrand and escape liabilities, exposing their lies and propaganda.

It's so funny to me that I Squared Capital spent two hearings of testimony messaging to City Council they are not Zenith Energy even though they will conduct the same exact operation, announced they will fulfill Zenith's expansion plan, & the ordinance says they are keeping all of Zenith's employees

Reminder that while JF Roberge celebrates pictures of prayer spaces being removed in university spaces, that his legislation exempted christian chapels from his anti-religious spaces law.

Not sure how Warren Kinsella generated these search results If you enter “jews” as a search term into PressProgess’ search bar, none of these stories display If you manually search those 3 stories, the word “jews” does not appear there either (nor is this religious group a focus of these stories)

As someone who advises on funding for policy initiatives, I would never recommend a client fund MLI. It's a reputational risk to be associated with them. It's sad to watch them pickle their brains on grievance MAGA nonsense bsky.app/profile/alex...

Here is my letter to the MacDonald Laurier Institute on the subject of their appalling research. Use as you will. I recommend sending something of your own, though. And if you know anyone associated with MLI - and Board directors, say - send it to them, too.
