3 of the four constitutional questions Danielle Smith put forward are currently being rejected by Albertans. And a lot of the votes remaining to be counted are urban, not rural. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Also, money aside, can anyone estimate the countless thousands of hours of emotional and psychological stress and campaigning people went through to deal with this ignorant, racist nonsense?

Dear Albertans: The next time that you can't get decent medical care due to provincial underfunding, remember that Danielle Smith blew more than $125 million on that stupid fucking referendum.

By mid-March 2020 there was enough evidence of possible asymptomatic transmission to justify a precautionary approach. The Inquiry says all hospital admissions to care homes should have been isolated. Scotland introduced this advice earlier. 7/10

Governments already knew care-home residents were exceptionally vulnerable to respiratory viruses. Yet protective measures were introduced long after Covid had taken hold. The Inquiry’s verdict is blunt: action came too late. 4/10

The Covid Inquiry’s Module 6 report is devastating. Its central conclusion: adult social care was treated as β€œsomething of an afterthought”, while β€œprotecting the NHS” sometimes came at the expense of people receiving and providing care. 1/10

The Inquiry’s overarching judgement is that fragmented responsibility, ignored warnings, poor data and inadequate planning created conditions in which Covid could spread β€œlike wildfire”. Social care’s neglect was longstanding. During the pandemic, its consequences became catastrophic.

Reyes, before she wraps up golf course hearing, says her family has been texting her, "freaking out" over CNN report about death threats bc of this case. "A federal judge is getting death threats over a golf course. I really don’t think that’s what the founders envisioned."

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

It's a fast-moving case. Last night Reyes denied a govt request to recuse herself. Trump said yesterday that he was closing the existing course Nov 15 (or earlier) to replace it. 2 days earlier govt attys called such plans were "conceptual," "nascent," & "preliminary." /2 bsky.app/profile/rpar...

Quoting Trump's social media post of today, Judge Reyes orders govt to explain by 8pm whether it still takes the positions it took 2 days ago. Also orders Associate AG Stan Woodward to attend hearing tomorrow.

It’s funny that separatists of all people are trying to push this narrative, because if anyone would be suspected of terrorism on a military base in Alberta the weekend before the referendum it would easily be them.
