Obviously, kidding and the blah, blah was well written and convincing.

How many union members did it take to write that?

But what do the naturopaths, chiropractors, and reiki healers think about it?

That is the wrong answer. A supervisor was watching, two middle managers giving lousy advice, three guys leaning on shovels in your office, two summer students looking for snipes and changing the headlight fluid and one dip#### doing all the work.

That is the correct answer.

Sow distrust in authority so that they only believe Smith?

An expert listed as a contributor to a pandemic review commissioned by the Alberta government has demanded his name be removed from the task force’s report recommending a stop to#COVID-19#vaccines, while doctors across the country rejected the document as dangerous bunk.

John Conly, a physician and former head of the University of Calgary’s medical department, on Monday told The Globe and Mail he was not on Alberta’s COVID review panel and never consented to his name being associated with its 269-page report. Further, the Canadian Medical Association and the Alberta Medical Association issued separate statements dismissing the $2-million project as “misinformation.”

Canadian Medical Assoc also alarmed by the report

Looks like lots of coal lobbyists used to be in government.

https://www.stalbertgazette.com/loca...write-10119621

This made me laugh, as if its slightly plausible
'The office of the Minister of Energy and Minerals said in an email this lobbying has had no impact on the government's coal policy.'

The Breakdown

Meanwhile in #yeg…

The Minister of Education has exempted Edmonton schools from in person learning, not because of illness…

But to try to union bust?

The way I read it, they are removing the right to an in-person education from special needs children. I doubt this will end when the union is busted.

A report by 5 former Fish&Wildlife biologists found that no part of the Eastern Slopes can safely, effectively and environmentally accommodate coal mining.

The report was made for the Coal Policy Committee in 2021 but was largely inaccessible.

Don't know why we are trusting scientists when we have people that have stayed at a holiday inn express.

This whole coal mining thing is infuriating.

-UCP rescind the 1976 coal policy, telling coal companies 'come on in, chop up our mountains, coal mining is welcome on the Eastern Slopes!'
-People rightfully get outraged. Eventually the UCP backtrack - minus leaving the door open for the projects that were already in development.
-Coal companies sue for billions because we told them they could come mine the Eastern Slopes and then yanked the rug out under them.
-UCP backpedal and re-rescind the 1976 coal policy because they're scared of the lawsuit (nice backbone there UCP)
-Now people are again rightfully outraged that they're once again allowing coal mining on the Eastern Slopes.


So we either get a lawsuit (and we're only strengthening their claim with this flip flopping) or coal mining on the Eastern slopes and a poisoned watershed. Complete and utter incompetence. What a ####ing disaster.

Kenny's gift of wicked awesome fiscal management comes back to bite us again. We either go scorched earth or pay out billions. Brilliant stuff. Maybe another Conservative government can untangle this stupidity, we should definitely try again next election.

Can we sue the AB government on this, just as a statement? I know we'd suing ourselves essentially, with that kind of move, but man this is such utter infuriating nonsense.

Looks like Trump isn't the only one on a firing spree today.
