Premier Smith was asked about the 40 clinics charging membership fees today, her response: "We are fine with that" How naive do you have to be, to think these clinics are not finding any excuse they can to drop non-paying patients in favour of paying members? #ableg #abpoli
Here is what it looks like when the government starts working for working people. This week alone the Biden administration has: -Banned noncompetes -Ensured millions more workers get paid overtime -Forced airlines to automatically refund you when they mess up your flights
During the contract fight last year, General Motors CEO Mary Barra said the @UAW was making "unsustainably high" demands that would "put our future at risk." GM just reported $3 billion in quarterly profits—all of it from North America. Do not trust these CEOs.
"In the last 50 years, immunisation has reduced infant mortality by 40%. That means more children now reach their 5th birthday than ever before in human history." – @gavi #WorldImmunizationWeek
“Yet another report shows that medical clinics in Alberta are using membership fees as a barrier to access medically insured services. It’s time for our provincial government to finally stand up for Albertans and act to end this practice.”

The hyperventilating about deficits is really bananas. Canada is struggling because of a lack of investment, our inability to build things (like housing), a lack of competition, and growth through increased labour rather than increased productivity. Deficits a sideshow.

Very low water, windy (due to a chinook), and dry today with massive amounts of soil erosion at the Crowsnest River input into the Oldman Reservoir, Alberta. The high and typical water marks show how abnormally dry it is this spring.

@gilmcgowan they definitely understand it! the system is rigged in their favour, and they'll do anything to keep it that way.
Financial markets left to their own devices do not make economies and those who live in them free, despite what Milton Friedman said. Lots of data over 40 years shows we’re actually worse off. We need a new way to think about markets, economic policy and what we want our society…
And who knows, a global 2% tax on billionaire wealth could be next: There is real movement on global tax reform. A new era, perhaps. Thanks for reading!
This might change, though. A 15% global minimum corporate income tax was recently agreed upon by 141 @OECD countries. It could be higher, and exemptions could be reduced, but it's a good start.
As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. The share of national income going to the richest 10% was lowest (and share to the bottom 90% highest) when union membership was high. This is why the UAW victory in Tennessee is a big deal. We must build back union power.
