1/n: I could be wrong, of course, but my take about this hantavirus outbreak is less about the actual outbreak and more about what it means in the context of the last two decades and moving forward. Let me explain...

Annie Farmer was 16 when she reported being sexually abused by Epstein at Zorro Ranch in 1996. The U.S. Attorney who should have investigated never opened a case.
Newly unearthed federal documents reveal why: he was Epstein’s own Power of Attorney for the ranch purchase.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.
Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.
We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

If I didn’t have Medicaid and SNAP as a child—and a community that gave a shit about four little kids and their struggling mom—I wouldn’t be here today.
This is why elections matter. Virginia, the stakes couldn’t be higher to get out and vote for Democrats tomorrow.

OPERATION TOTAL RECALL #ALBERTA 🚨
operationtotalrecall.ca
Organize recall campaigns for the 44 MLAs who voted to use the Notwithstanding Clause against not just teachers, but all Alberta workers.
Why we're organizing?
"Using the Notwithstanding Clause to override rights and force teachers back to work is a profound step. Constituents can respond through civic processes, including recall where applicable. This project coordinates resources to help each riding take action lawfully and effectively."

Let’s Go Alberta, "Words can bring #HOPE, but it takes #ACTION to drive REAL Change." Time for #Albertans to take action! #TakingAlbertaForward #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #RecallThemAll @AB_Resistance @TheBreakdownAB #FireTheUCP

The Notwithstanding Clause – Meant for Balance, used for Control
The notwithstanding clause was added to Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 as a narrow safeguard, not a political weapon. It was meant for rare, exceptional cases - when a court ruling unintentionally overreached and threatened the democratic will of the people.
With Bill 2, the “Back to Work” legislation, this Wildrose government crossed that line. This isn’t about provincial jurisdiction - it’s about using state power to override individual rights whenever they get in the way of political objectives.
By invoking the clause to force teachers back to work, the government chose control over collaboration.
Teachers deserve respect and dialogue, not coercion. They’ve carried Alberta’s classrooms through overcrowding, complexity, and years of under-resourcing. Forcing compliance isn’t leadership - it’s constitutional abuse.
True conservatives value restraint, accountability, and freedom. The Charter ensures no government can strip away basic rights without scrutiny.
By normalizing the notwithstanding clause as a political tool, this Wildrose government weakens protections that belong to every Albertan - not just today, but for generations.
Strong leaders listen before legislating.
Albertans want solutions - not scapegoats.

More than 900 Albertans will lose their jobs, and Alberta’s Premier is simply “disappointed” with thoughts and prayers for good severance packages?
Premier, that’s 900 families impacted once these workers receive the pink slip. Alberta has one of the worst unemployment rates in the country. How are the 900 Albertans going to find new jobs? Your UCP government chased away $33 billion dollars of investments in 118 renewables projects that would have brought 24,000 jobs. It then continued with an unfathomable witch hunt on the renewables projects that practically stopped the growth of new jobs in that sector over the last two years. What’s the plan here, Premier?
This Imperial layoff is not the exception; it is an increasing pattern. There are more mergers and consolidations in the oil sands sector, and the 2020 merger of Husky and Cenovus was a prime example that resulted in the loss of 2150 office jobs. In 2023, Suncor also cut ~1500 jobs in Alberta, citing the need for better financial performance and more efficiency. Imperial’s own press release says: “Leverages technology and global capability centres to deliver increased value” with “Expected annual expense savings of $150 million.”
The UCP government has failed to act and prepare for the reality that is upon us. The sector is becoming highly automated and more efficient with the implementation of technology, which means less jobs available for Albertans.
The question is, what is this government going to do right now to support the 900 Albertans losing their jobs? What’s the government’s plan to prepare and re-orient this highly skilled labour force for the future?
And most importantly, how is the Premier caught off guard in this way? And will the Premier shut down the separation nonsense to bring back investor certainty in our province?
Albertans deserve an actual plan for Alberta’s economy #ableg
