Dear Albertans, in the next provincial election, vote like you just did in the recent referendum. For all of you that were upset that the UCP party is lead by right wing (American Republican funded) separatists, please remember that they were elected in your Province by Albertans. With a majority!

Let me understand this. It's totally OK for the US to try to covertly and even overtly influence Canadian politics. Even make assertions that the US can take over Canada to make a 51st state. But if we express concerns about the rise is fascism in our nearest neighbouring country, that's not OK?

How does the body balance immune response and tissue damage during a parasite infection? A new #ScienceImmunology study in helminth-infected mice shows dermal gdTcells that migrate to the lung activate immune pathways that protect tissues. https://scim.ag/4hrcdvD

Mrs. Smith, your teary list of Albertan concerns is extremely myopic. Do you think the rest of Canada doesn't have these same struggles? Plus your Province doesn't even require a sales tax. Thanks to one of the dirtiest most planet killing sources of oil on Earth. That's what worries the rest of us.

More than 90% of magnitude 3 or greater earthquakes triggered by fluid injection in western Canada were preceded by detectable foreshocks, researchers report in Science—a finding that could strengthen efforts to forecast and mitigate induced seismic hazards. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4cnCZCg
