BIG SCOOP—@TheTyee reveals that Alberta is looking to adopt a US billing system for Alberta doctors
This would align AB with US, lock-in AB taxpayers & create the conditions for US private health (insurance) corporations to enter Canada

125 pages.
This govt spent $1.2M of our tax dollars on a report to try to nail Naheed Nenshi. OUR MONEY.
They’re counting on Albertans not getting to page 54 which absolves Nenshi.
Meanwhile we pay…for their lies. @ABDanielleSmith @UCPCaucus

Michigan, I cannot wait to serve you with the same big heartedness, open mindedness, grit, and earnestness that you've shown me.
You welcomed me into your homes, your churches, your synagogues, your VFW and union halls. You shared moments of frustration and sadness and vulnerability with me. You gave me grace and strength at my lowest moments and the hope and inspiration that powered my best.
I will bring it all with me to Washington in your service.

Do you hate driving at night? Are you a woman?
If you answer yes to both questions, you might be interested in a new report which found female drivers are significantly more likely to be dazzled by headlights - & to adjust their behaviour by driving less or not at all.
But why?

An absolute international embarrassment. End these MAGA policies. They have no place in our province or country.

There are three basic rules in our democracy.
1️⃣ Everyone plays by the same rules.
2️⃣ Governments make themselves accountable.
3️⃣ Governments govern for everyone.
The UCP is breaking all of them.

A Black woman, an Indigenous woman, and a Latina walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What can I get you, Governors?”

Ever wondered what a newborn baby elephant looks like? Meet Mwezi!
She was born under the light of a near-full moon in the middle of our Umani Unit. Baggy-kneed and covered in soft fuzz, she’s also covered in dust from head to toe with earth. Our Keepers rushed to help Murera cover her, which helps to mask her scent and protect her from predators while she is at her most vulnerable.

Bizarre defense.
After her chief of staff said the map was redrawn to "level the playing field," the premier is saying the map favours the NDP?
You don't have to be good at gerrymandering to gerrymander. Just ask Texas Republicans.
Know the facts:

The Alberta NDP continues to spread misinformation and undermine the credibility of the Independent Advisory Panel who released the new electoral boundaries.
Using the last election’s popular vote results, the new boundaries would give the NDP +3 more seats and the UCP +1.
If someone tried to gerrymander, they did a terrible job…
Dr. Lisa Everitt retweeted
Does UCP’s new boundary map make an NDP win impossible? No.
But it clearly skews southern Alberta seats toward Danielle Smith’s party.

With the UCP set to enact its preferred electoral boundaries map, is there any recourse for critics?
Chatted with @orlaghokelly about legal options, which could reach the Supreme Court- as she contends this is about voters' rights, not a UCP- NDP fight

Now that @AbdulElSayed has been elected to the U.S. Senate, let's flash back to 2007, when Bill Clinton praised Abdul El-Sayed for his University of Michigan speech.
"I don't want to embarrass your senior speaker. But I wish every person in the world who believes that we are fated to have a clash of civilizations and cannot reach across the religious divides could've heard you speak today. I just wish every person in the world could've heard you speak today."

There is much to celebrate this week, but I want to call specific attention to historic gains Democratic women made in representation:
- For the first time in history, over 100 Democratic women will serve in the U.S. House.
- At least 16 Democratic women will serve in the Senate.
- At least 14 Democratic women will serve as governors, a record high.
- A record of 2,600 Democratic women running for seats in state legislatures helped flip 12 majorities and break 11 supermajorities.
- Four states elected their first woman governor: Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio, and Tennessee.
- @KeishaBottoms will be the first Black woman to serve as a governor.
- @DebHaalandNM will be the first Native American woman to serve as a governor.
- @GinaHinojosaTX will be the first Latina to serve as governor of Texas.
- @peggyflanagan will be the first Native American woman to serve in the Senate.
I am beyond excited to see these extraordinary people and public servants tackle accountability, affordability, and our other challenges to make life better for everyone in this country.
Congratulations to everyone who ran: win or lose, fighting for what's right is always worth it.

Governments don't generally impose time limits on motions they are confident in defending. So for the UCP to have just 1 hour of debate on their new electoral map, it's an indication this whole thing is exactly what we think it is — cheating. #ableg

To be fair, the UCP uses closure more often than any other government in Canadian history.
They don't just do it when removing Charter rights.
It's kind of their thing: total disdain for accountability.

For over a year, Donald Trump has made Minnesota his personal obsession. He waged a campaign of retribution and weaponized the entirety of the federal government to punish our people. That ends now.
We delivered a resounding rejection of his brutality. I’m proud we protected the Governor’s Office, every statewide office, and our state legislature from Trump. Brighter days ahead.

A lot of Albertans are tuning out of politics or treating the UCP's approach as normal. As I wrote earlier this year (edmontonjournal.com/opinion/…) and spoke about today, we need to explain in plain language what's at stake and why it's not politics as usual.
