The Rosebud area racetrack decision has a common problem in Canadian environmental law. It pretends monitoring and reporting is a solution for environmental damage. (1/5)

"If the government has the power to just remove somebody, without any kind of public dialogue or sharing why they've been removed from council, it poses a threat against members of council. It poses a threat to democracy as a whole."

Reminder: the UCP's drift into authoritarianism is neither new nor normal. The volume & audacity of their misdeeds shouldn't lull Albertans into thinking that it’s politics as usual. Just because these episodes happen in plain sight doesn't excuse them. theconversation.com/democracy-itse…

To escape the heat, these lizards slowly migrated to higher, cooler elevations (aka sky islands). That worked for a while. But when the sky islands got too hot, they died. Moral of the story: adaptation has limits -- for lizards, and for humans. cbsnews.com/news/lizard-po…
Gaza-based journalist Akram al-Satarri has just returned from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, where Palestinians are still uncovering more bodies, many with evidence of torture or summary execution. "The three different mass graves are containing around 700 bodies," he says.
@DebatingChris @EmmaLGraney A lot of the people who have complications with syphilis in pregnancy are often not engaging medical care and have some high-risk lifestyle issues. We do try, but if people can’t be contacted, we can’t help. I’ve even tried driving to houses & knocking on doors.
@EmmaLGraney I read the article earlier and I was thinking, what role does the family doctor shortage play in this? If most cases of syphilis can be treated with bloodwork catching the disease, what's the likelihood that a family doctor could have caught it and prevented a stillbirth?
These stats are shocking. The rate of stillbirths among Alberta women aged 15-19 QUADRIPLED from 2012 to 2023, are twice as high for age 20-24. It's partly due to a syphilis outbreak, with cases rising from 128 in 2012 to 3,326 in 2022 westernwheel.ca/local-news/ste… #ableg #cdnpoli
Pierre Poilievre haș been cut-and-pasting the pharmaceutical lobby’s talking points attacking a universal social program that would get free medicine to Canadians. Big looking out for ordinary people energy. breachmedia.ca/pierre-poiliev…
@MakisMD @stalbertgazette @ABDanielleSmith Are they? Then why do the many scientific papers find otherwise, showing no increase of stillbirths or other pregnancy complications among vaccinated, and most finding lower risk among vaccinated than unvaccinated? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37604305/ ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P……
@MakisMD @stalbertgazette @ABDanielleSmith But the graph in the article shows the majority of the increase was between 2017-2019. Before COVID mRNA vaccines.

Scoop w/ @CarrieTait: Premier Smith is expecting a report in May on the integrity of AB's COVID-19 data and decision-making from a little-known task force led by a physician who claimed the govt manipulated stats to usher in restrictions. #abpoli #ableg theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…
Rates of stillbirth have risen sharply among young women in Alberta. Health authorities say there are many possible reasons for the increase, as well as a need for further investigation. stalbertgazette.com/local-news/ste…
