Boyle Street housing program to lose Alberta government funding, province seeks new provider | CBC News The Alberta government is taking away funding from an Edmonton non-profitโ€™s housing program, saying it wants to spend the money on a provider that can deliver better results.

Red flags here. Boyle Street is one of the few secular programs. This is about an amazing agency focused on Indigenous programming. #abpoli

Elad Simchayoff on twitter:

I interviewed two Israeli Air Force pilots who are part of the operation in Iran. When I asked what it felt like to enter Iranian airspace for the first time, one of them said:
โ€œYou find yourself thinking, what do these people, so far away from us, actually want from us? They have a huge and beautiful country. Right now full of snow and lakes. Truly a very, very beautiful place. What do they want from us, this small piece of land? Itโ€™s such a strange feeling.โ€

A surprising number of Israelis seem to have already forgotten that they're the ones who started the war.

Alberta Wonโ€™t Budge on Charging Indigenous People for COVIDย Vaccines Though health advocates argue the province's $100 fee amounts to a treaty violation, the federal government rebuffed a request to step in, pointing out it's still free on reserves

Alberta has refused to exempt Indigenous people from the $100 fee for COVID vaccines.

And though health advocates contend that amounts to a treaty violation, the federal government won't step in.

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

There's no way Smith & the UCP, with their firehose of lies, want teens to read Orwell

Itโ€™s time for a reclamation boom
Itโ€™s time for a reclamation boom YouTube video by Avi Lewis

Workers canโ€™t transition to a promise or an idea โ€” the jobs need to be waiting. Fortunately, across Alberta, tens of thousands of jobs *are* waiting if only we force oil and gas companies to clean up the mess theyโ€™ve made.

It's time for a reclamation boom.

Through the Liberalsโ€™ repeated use of Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, they are violating the Charter-protected right to strike and attacking workersโ€™ ability to fight for a liveable wage.

Whether itโ€™s Carney in Ottawa or Danielle Smith in Alberta, anti-worker politicians are embracing authoritarianism instead of addressing the every day struggles of workers.

Through my #BillC247, weโ€™re going to give power back to workers and uphold the right to strike.

Good news everyone!

According to Dani yesterday, there's no longer a shortage of healthcare workers!

And we don't need to give healthcare any more money for recruitment or retention!

(We still very much have a staffing shortage for the record)

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

Happy #IWD. Women bear the brunt of the climate crisis. But men dominate climate decision-making, and mega-rich ones like Farage, whose party is backed by oil and gas, set the climate back.

Smith says she's cutting access to social support programs because she "heard that people were moving here just to be on social programs."
