Danielle Smith shared pro-Russian propaganda, written by a French 9/11 conspiracy theorist, published on a Holocaust denial blog. The Alberta premier's unbalance media diet is worth talking about. bugeyedandshameless.com/p/danielle-smi…

Recently, I committed that under an Alberta NDP Government, we would launch the largest healthcare worker recruitment campaign this province has ever seen. We will get started on that from Day 1. We know how critical public healthcare is. 🧵 #ableg #abhealth

The amazing Samira Jeimy and I collaborated on a post because we are both tired of seeing the term ‘immunity debt’ being thrown around. We also get into why we are seeing a record number of pediatric hospitalizations, so stick with us. 🧵(1/8)

It’s incredible how much resistance there is to masking despite the crisis at our children’s hospitals nationwide. It really shows how much “the mask” has become a symbol of what people lost during the pandemic - a scapegoat for their grief and anger.
