So far, here's where the seppie vote is, and how big of a % raised was donated to the seppie PACs. Explorable dashboard coming. #ableg #abpoli #abreferendum

As we reflect on our Canadian Forces, Army, Air Force, Arctic operations, and others, we've installed a poppy on the post composer. This year, I'm thinking about the four lives lost at Wainwright, and the dozens still fighting for their lives in burn units in Edmonton and Calgary. From my time at AHS, I know they are receiving the best care and love. For the four lost, we remember you. Personally, I remember my grandfather, who was an RCMP sergeant. Though he didn't serve with the Forces, he served at home. For that, I'm proud to carry his name as my middle name. Mastodon Canada will carry the poppy until November 12th. #ableg #abpoli #canpoli #cdnpoli #msdnca

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@avilewis/117203890855538107 Thanks so much for saying this, Avi! I can't believe how many people have their heads so far up in Oil & Gas that they believe the only way to stop the largest multi-billion dollar industry which is creating costly global wars, killing countless millions to raise their profits and capital ownership, is to hand them more of our public money without any strings attached. We could be funding anything but Oil & Gas to make our lives more affordable, but most importantly we should be funding ourselves away from Oil & Gas dependency! I'll also add my response to one of the commenters on FB who claimed that we already tax US oil corporations to extract our resources: While this is technically true, in that this is the purpose of charging royalties; 95% of Canadian oil is in Alberta and owned by Albertans. The Alberta government is supposed to be a responsible steward of this resource owned by us (the people, not the government!), to fairly tax those who profit off of it. However, our Alberta government is fully in the pocket of the profiteers, and is representing their interests to extract our resources for their profit with little to no cost to them. That equates to little to no public revenue for us, the owners of the oil; with full profit margins for the exploiters of our public resources. That is not responsible stewardship. The UCP even makes the public pay for abandoned oil well cleanup, instead of the oil corporations which profited off of them! It's no different than a corporation using all our public infradtructure then getting a break off all the property taxes, except with oil it's a much bigger money grab than any of us plebs can imagine. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #climate #climatechange #climatecrisis #trickledown

Its great that Albertans voted overwhelmingly to remain in Canada. But disturbing how much the anti-immigrant and antidemocratic punching down has held sway. Q1: decrease immigration: yes 599k vs 424k votes Q2: kick unauthorized immigrants off healthcare, school and other social services: yes 517k vs 387k Q4: charge a fee to non-perm resident use of health & education: yes 439k vs 330k votes Q5: Proof of citizenship to vote: yes 436k vs 255k votes https://results.elections.ab.ca/8400 #ABPoli #CanPoli

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@chad/117459922424080600 As we've learned more, it sounds like a grass fire spread in the blink of an eye because of sudden, powerful winds. My heart is with the CAF members in both Edmonton and Calgary's Burn Units, the dozens still getting care, and their families across our country. If these last 24 hours were to prove anything, we are stronger together. Thanks to support from Manitoba and Saskatchewan, we attended to the mass casualty event at CAF Wainwright as quickly as possible. What troubles me is that, as Edmonton and Calgary hospitals went to Code Orange, they displaced others who also needed care. This is why hospitals aren't supposed to run at 100%, but Dani and Adriana can't seem to figure that out. I'm thankful for all the HCWs in both cities who received these patients, and particularly at Peter Lougheed, where they've had two mass casualties in a week. We don't give these folks enough gratitude, and neither does the UCP. #ableg #abpoli #abhealth #cfbwainwright #canpoli #cdnpoli

Strike Alert! WestJet flight attendants are on strike to end unpaid work - and they will not have to stand alone. ✊ These workers can perform up to 35 hours of unpaid work each month. Boarding, delays, safety and security duties all happen before the plane pushes back from the gate — but too much of that work still goes unpaid. They are standing up for fair pay and respect at work. Now it is our turn to show up for them. A strong picket line matters. Every person who joins helps lift workers' spirits, shows the employer that these flight attendants have broad support, and reminds them that they are not alone in this fight. Join the picket line. CUPE 8125 members will be picketing in Calgary and Edmonton. If you are able, please come out, bring your signs, wear union colours if you can, and show WestJet flight attendants that Alberta's labour movement has their backs. Edmonton picket info: YEG Park and Wait Lot Times: 06:00-10:00, 9:30-13:30, 13:00-17:00 Calgary picket info: Location: Outside Delta Hotel Secondary Entrance, Departures Level Times: 5:30-9:30, 9:30-13:30, 13:30-17:30, 17:30-21:30 Can't attend in person? You can still help. Share the message, talk to your family, friends and co-workers, and send a letter at https://endunpaidwork.ca Every person who shows up helps send a clear message: WestJet flight attendants deserve to be paid for all the work they do, and Alberta workers are standing with them until they win a fair deal. ✊ Together, we will stand with WestJet flight attendants and help end unpaid work. In solidarity! #solidarity #union #strike #strikes #workers #workerRights #labour #yeg #yyc #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The Alberta government is moving forward with its plan to merge health-care numbers with government-issued identification and proof-of-citizenship. #abpoli

Even though North American citizens have increasingly rejected or imposed moratoriums on data centres in their communities, the Smith government hasn’t said a word about the liabilities. Enter Brad Stelfox, the province’s most prominent land use ecologist. Andrew Nikiforuk writes. #abpoli

David Suzuki Foundation: "Carney’s taxpayer-funded pipeline will cause climate and economic chaos" "People in Canada are paying the price — struggling with affordability and suffering through extreme heat — as this government treats yesterday’s fossil economy as the only economic strategy on the table. The rest of the world is racing to benefit from the clean-energy economy by swapping dirty fossil fuels for renewables, batteries and technologies powered by electricity." https://davidsuzuki.org/press/carneys-taxpayer-funded-pipeline-will-cause-climate-and-economic-chaos/ #Canada #CDNPoli #ClimateCrisis #CostOfLivingCrisis #ExtremeWeather #Heatwave #BCPoli #ABPoli #NoPipelines
