Super pumped about the Southern Alberta Medical Program at the University of Lethbridge (affiliated with the UofC Medical School)... Training 20 new medical doctors in rural and regional centers! We need WAYYYYYYY more of this... We need to train more of our own HCWs in AB! 1/2

After reading @carrietait.bsky.social ‘s piece about the ties between separatists and the Trump administration, I thought I’d re-up my foray into speculative fiction for a couple of months ago. lisayoung.substack.com/p/a-day-in-t...

658,000 special ballots ordered - but they only count if you return 'em! Make your plan to vote to remain. 🍁

Just saying….Not only are the questions a problem that will keep people in the polling station but the reading level on the questions is well into advanced University levels of reading.

Pick up signs. But also check reading level of the Referendum Petition. It is well over Gr 12 reading level. This sends insensitive messaging to the people of Alberta.

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

Remembering the days when vaccines were just administered — while not vitamin K as that is for infants—school kids just held out their arms for the ‘age appropriate’ shot for their grade level.

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Two Canadian Scientists Develop an Inhaled Vaccine Mist That Delivers Immunity Directly to the Lungs, Right Where Viruses Enter Two scientists, Fiona Smaill and Zhou Xing, developed AeroVax, an inhaled vaccine mist designed to reach the lungs in just 2 minutes.

📣 Dear Alberta Separatists, You are being manipulated. 👇 Russian, U.S. interests are targeting Alberta’s separatist debate, Canadian research shows www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... "...Russian content farms have been pushing pro-separatist content..."

A powerful and wonderful gift and message. Thanks to both of you

"Democracy demands more than periodic voting. It requires ongoing cooperation with people we've failed to persuade." ☕📖 Weekend read: "losers' consent" meets "winners' restraint" - what each side owes the other in a democracy.

Huge congratulations to Professor Jacob Tsimerman of the University of Toronto on receiving the Fields Medal — one of the highest honours in mathematics. Nearly a century after Canadian mathematician J.C. Fields established this award in Toronto, it comes home.

Alberta is moving ahead with dual practice, allowing physicians to work in both public and private settings. Safeguards must be in place to protect the public health system and ensure Albertans continue to have access to responsive, quality health care. www.albertadoctors.org/practice/dua...

Always proud to be on Team Canada! 🍁 Less than 100 days until the separation referendum. This summer, have a conversation with the people you care about because Alberta's future is worth talking about. foralbertaforcanada.ca

On the road again. Today’s stop - Robert Ostberg Gallery in Calgary. Thank you for organizing a #ForeverCanadian Stampede breakfast! More than 1,700 Calgarians showed up, grabbed their lawn sign and enjoyed amazing artwork curated with the “Oh Canada” theme. #Yyc #ableg #cdnpoli

CALGARY, tomorrow, on Sunday, from 9 am to 12, our Unity Bus will be at 3909 University Avenue NW. From 2 pm till 4 pm, join us at our Calgary Campaign Office at 417 Riverfront Avenue SE. Pick up your #ForeverCanadian lawn sign! #Yyc #ableg #cdnpoli

Got my sign this morning. Thanks for all you do Thomas Lukaszuk

The first job of government is to keep Canadians safe.

Today's essential read for those who care about patient and HCW safety "During an outbreak due to a pathogen with high case fatality and no drugs or vaccines are available, the driving principle for PPE use should be the precautionary principle" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A loss of great people. They gave their best, every day. albertandp.ca/news/alberta...

In light of today's news out of BC, reposting this from Monday. Here's hoping BC is using the right airborne-transmission mitigations. healthydebate.ca/2026/05/topi...

It does seem that way doesn’t it…

On Wednesday, I was honoured to announce over $3.3M for Indigenous-led public safety and crime prevention in Calgary, including AFCC’s Ahmahtoo’siim-ahkoohmsi (Smudge Vow) Project and USAY’s youth programming. These investments support healing, culture, Elders, community and safer pathways forward.

Let's talk about Alberta separatism open.substack.com/pub/coreyhog...

OUR NEW BMJ editorial: Andes virus should reset WHO’s default approach to airborne risk. 🧵 1/ For severe pathogens with person-to-person transmission, the starting point should be precautionary airborne protections — not waiting for definitive proof after spread occurs. www.bmj.com/content/393/...

Former Supreme Court justice & Elections Alberta confirm: ”No referendum required: Pro-Canada petition can be voted on by Alberta MLAs, committee hears” Why are MLAs so scared to publicly declare whether they’re proud Canadians, or separatists? #ableg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

The Premier needs to start treating the election data breach like the extreme violation of public trust and safety that it is.

today's essential read for all humans. trishgreenhalgh.substack.com/p/respirator...

And now we need to know how many of those 568 persons are card carrying members of the UCP. But I don't suppose that we'll get that information without a public inquiry. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Momentum Toward a Public Inquiry is Growing open.substack.com/pub/drjaredw...

From the DM’s… The University of Alberta has sent out a mass email to address the separatist data breech. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

This is so exciting to see Carrie Tait won the award for her coverage in AB. Congrats to Carrie. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Happy Earth Day! Today is a chance to celebrate the natural spaces that connect and sustain us — and to reflect on the work being done across Canada to protect nature, strengthen climate resilience, and safeguard our freshwater for the future.

Do check out Brian Goldman’s book, The Casino Shift. Stories from an ER on the Edge. A very compelling examination of an evening shift but also some of the incredible technological and systems advances that are happening in Canada. Congratulations Dr Goldman.

The U.S. accounts for 71% of our exports and their trade actions have made 2025 a difficult year. But we're diversifying markets, we're investing billions in infrastructure, we have the most foreign investment in 18 years, and employment is growing. We'll win this trade war.

Let's grow our economy. Let's also make sure we keep making sure the benefit of a strong economy is felt by all Canadians.

Wishing Danielle Martin well in her pursuit of Krystia Freeland’s old riding. May she be as insightful in politics as she was in health and medicine.

So interesting. My father (born 1914) talked about skiing at Norquay in the 30’s—yes climbing up the hill and skiing down.

💯 Loads of excellent advice in this post #AcademicWriting #AcademicChatter

Alberta’s flu vaccination rates are dangerously low, and our healthcare system is feeling the impact. Getting vaccinated helps protect lives and helps keep the pressure off emergency rooms. It’s not too late: book your flu shot today. youtube.com/shorts/_2rD4...

From the FB… Remember when the UCP cut popsicles for kids battling cancer? Now they’re apparently making it harder to get the bloodwork of kids battling cancer to the lab. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

From the DM’s… Physicians at Grey Nuns are calling out the practice of limiting admissions (capping) as being a primary driver of the emergency room being overwhelmed to the point where “standards for quality and safety… are not being met.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abmed

open.substack.com/pub/budgette... My copy of book just arrived.

What an amazing book. Wonderful characters who are interconnected in interesting ways. Great read. Hoping for more books in the future.

Six of the top 10 are either in a kinetic conflict or threatening one, with each other or a neighbour. Or they’re under blanket sanctions. Or both. Yet oil is at ~$60 a barrel.

Congratulations. Glad you are representing my area of Calgary.

Seems a bit ironic to state that floor crossers are not legitimate. How legitimate is it to lose a seat and then take one that was legitimately won in Alberta because that area voted 80% Conservative???
