𝙹𝚘𝚎 𝚅𝚒𝚙𝚘𝚗𝚍 [email protected] My dad contracted nosocomial covid at UAH. His kidney function declined. He was discharged to mem care. A month later admitted to RAH for kidney failure. Discharged back to mem care with decreasing kidney function and died 10 days later. The system doesn't care because he was 81.

Minister Dreeshen says he’s “gobsmacked” Calgary city council hasn’t, of this afternoon, asked him questions about new Green Line alignment. Yesterday I asked Dreeshen’s office about how council wanted an urgent meeting with the province. Was told he’s “aware.” I’m confused?

In Toronto Star Star Business today, I reflect on the economic costs of NOT going on strike: thestar.com/business/opini…. Yes, strikes are inconvenient & frustrating for all. But without them, there would be huge damage to incomes, spending, and fairness. #canlab #cdnecon

Here’s some rare, good journalism. Albertans need to know that HOW metallurgical coal mining is prevented is as important as prevention itself to avoid compensation. What are Alberta’s ‘contractual’ obligations to coal companies? stalbertgazette.com/local-news/wha… via St Albert Gazette

Elder abuse is rising in Alberta’s publicly funded long-term and continuing care homes. Behind this crisis is the “increasing commodification of care,” where failing to address abuse issues is more and more turning into a business choice. stalbertgazette.com/local-news/deg…
