I should say it didn't look like it was going well for them.

Saw some separatists on the side of Gateway, waving flags and trying to get folks to pull in and sign. It's not going well for them. #ableg

Folks on AISH are barely making ends meet. There's no way people from other provinces are moving here just to access it.

β€œPeople are unsure if they’re going to be able to maintain housing. People are wondering if they’re going to be able to eat. People are really scared, and it’s causing a tremendous amount of anxiety and stress," said Inclusion Alberta CEO Trish Bowman..

I had to fight so hard, but when I was 38, I finally managed to convince a gynecologist to give me a hysterectomy. It took so much fighting and following up to get in. It changed my life. At the follow up, he just said "you don't have cancer" but after prodding, admitted it was adenomyosis.

Thank you so much for sharing this!

I had adenomyosis. The pain would get so bad, I'd have to go to the ER for a Toradol shot.

I was repeatedly told to just take birth control and it would fix it, but I can't because I have bipolar disorder and I react extremely negatively to birth control.

FILM β€” THIS IS ENDOMETRIOSIS

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are medical conditions where you are not believed. Where, in my experience, male doctors don't have the first clue and just keep prescribing you more pain medication. A film worth your time "This is Endometriosis". Award winning.

"This Is Endometriosis" won Best British Short Film at the 2026 BAFTAS.

Lived with endometriosis & adenomyosis until I had a hysterectomy to eliminate risk of endometrial cancer. For decades I was told to take more pain meds, that I just had bad periods, and it would get better with pregnancy. 1/

March 6 is Black Balloon Day, a time to remember and honour the people we’ve lost to substance use related harms and the toxic drug poisoning crisis.

Today we speak their names and hold them close in our hearts.

Say their name.

Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas says the city pays equalization "transfer payments" to Edmonton.

Not even close. He's intentionally twisting words to misinform and manipulate Calgarians.

Calgary's property taxes will contribute 11.7% of the province's education budget this year. Not "equalization".
