WHY NAZIS WANT GREENLAND --Sunday Dispatch, 25 May 1941
1941
I received a message from an Alberta ED colleague that stopped me cold. He treated a very elderly pt - a retired Charge Nurse who began her career as WWII ended. She waited 8 hours in the WR for care. Her assessment of our current reality is devastating....

Anyone who doubts an Alberta Police Force would be closer to ICE than the RCMP needs to pay closer attention to detail. And motive.

My Last Blog for 2025: When Did Volunteers Become the Problem?
"In gameshow parlance, Council would be pulling off a double whammy: disregarding the service of dedicated volunteers while simultaneously dismantling the deliberative governance spaces that underpin local democracy."
Imagine having only a bell and your weakened voice when you have heart issues and cancer and have been put in a closet to heal.
Imagine having to be the staff that sourced the bell!
This is horrid to everyone and is injurious to staff and patients.
The UCP is trying its damnedest to gut Alberta health care—underpaying staff and blocking unions, severely cutting budgets for the system, and authorizing private health care to enrich insurance companies. All so that she can funnel money towards oil companies and boondoggles.
My dad, 85 years old, suffering from the effects of a 2 year struggle with cancer, and chief of surgery at the Chinook Regional Hospital for decades, was moved from an already overcrowded space to an “overcapacity room” while he recovers from a stomach bleed and pneumonia. This is the room. 🧵🧵🧵

The Jasper Wildfire review is damningly clear about one thing: the UCP government exploited a life-and-death moment to play political games.
And in their response to this report, rather than accepting responsibility and promising to do better, they lash out, insult others, and refuse any blame.
“How dare they lose their homes and livelihoods in an horrific wildfire without making ME the hero of their story”
~Danielle Smith, probably
A salutary reminder of what happens when a government puts bashing the feds above protecting and supporting the most vulnerable members of our communities.

Historians and political scientists spend decades trying to determine the influence of money in politics and Musk just tweets out "I bought the election"
I sure do love living in the midst of a persistent exposure zone thanks to the failure of my neighbours to do the right thing and get vaccinated. But freedom, amirite?
Another @carrietait.bsky.social scoop.
Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

As a protest against politicians being in charge of election rules, the Longest Ballot folks are organizing to run 200 candidates in the by-election in which Poilievre will be running.
They recently ran 91 candidates in Poilievre's previous riding.
Today there will be

I am the President
The Premier is addressing Albertans live at 3pm on Monday to discuss the future of Alberta in Confederation.
Nothing that I saw or heard today suggests a groundswell of angst among Albertans. Neither do polls.
If she speaks of a crisis on Monday, it's likely imagined or manufactured.
Doug Ford is a stupid person, with stupid ideas.
Who among us has not shared classified information about forthcoming military strikes with journalists, spouses, and siblings. And likely on a private cel phone. If it was anybody else within the Defense Department they would be fired (and perhaps charged), but not the Secretary.
I KNEW this was a quota issue.
The corruption and incompetence is staggering.

Watching Trump throw a full-blown tantrum because Harvard told him no. 🍿
Tweet from @TheMaineWonk calling out a statement by Donald Trump as an “insane lie,” shown above Trump’s tweet claiming record U.S. tariff revenue, falling prices on goods including gas and groceries, and reduced inflation, ending with “Promises Made, Promises Kept!”
The lies are coming faster and more desperately these days. Keep pressing, friends.
Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.
If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
