I had actually just read this story this morning:

Worth clicking through, but here's a video from it as well:


Okay...I'm missing something here.

They're talking about major inclement weather and 'Brutal Cold' but I can barely see people's breath and theres almost no snow on the ground.

How cold are we talking about here? Because it looks pretty mild to me.

The header news image shows 0F, which is, uhm, coldish? I dunno, I can't read ancient measurement systems.

0F is -17C, which is a bit chilly but not too bad. My definition of "brutal cold" is slightly different.

Who would like to succeed Notley as NDP leader?

(or maybe should rephrase as who would make the best leader of the AB NDP...as to avoid answers like TBA David Parker...)

-17C is...'kind of cold' but its not anything to write home about.

My definition of 'Brutal Cold' is very different as well.

-17? Thats like...'pedestrian' cold. The only way thats going to bother a Canadian is with wind.

And if their car wont start, which, in a mere -17, it should.

SCOOP: Alberta has paused participation in a national program that matches kidney transplant candidates with living donors because the province lacks surgery capacity #abpoli #abhealth

https://twitter.com/carrietait/statu...455872888?s=21

AHS has since clarified this applies to the northern transplant program. Update coming soon.

####ing unbelievable incompetence. Well done Alberta, you managed to piss away another boom and still have absolutely pathetic health care to show for our vast wealth.


Good job voters, you morons. Maybe the naturopath in chief can donate 2 of hers, I bet she could live a good long while without any. Worth a try, anyway.

Just the Northern program. This can all be fixed by centralizing healthcare province wide.

The south program only does kidneys, as far as I am aware, so the south one will probably be overloaded in short order.


Ot's ok though, I'm sure only a few people will die while on dialysis, because our science inept premier and voters don't understand how the basics of vaccines work and masks work, and maybe you could, you know, promote those things to help reduce load in the medical system. Oh well! At least she'll illegally go to bat for a massive POS human directly responsible for the deaths of Albertans. And STILL find enough ####ing moronic voters to put her in charge.

Shannon Phillips is someone who has impressed me with having the acumen to probably handle just about any portfolio. If she wants to be leader is another matter.

Three names leading the speculation so far - Ganley, Hoffman, Pancholi. Probably safe to put Phillips in the contender category as well, we'll see if she launches a campaign, rumour is she's not interested.

Quote:
Edmonton MLA David Shepherd is said to be preparing his candidacy, building on the image he burnished as health critic during the pandemic, and new MLAs Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse and Samir Kayande may also kick tires and scrounge together deposit money. (Former environment minister Shannon Phillips, perennially whispered as a contender, is said to not be interested.)

As for outsiders, Alberta Federation of Labour's longtime head Gil McGowan's name bounces around the rumour mill, while former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi endorsed the NDP last election and
perennially attracts speculation — though he also tends to detest partisan politics.

When the NDP cancel their leadership race, we will know they no longer believe in democracy.

So if I read this right, David Parker is going to "fix" democracy, but inserting TBA into the NDP leadership race and rig it how they want, to again, somehow fix democracy.

They wouldn't be doing this if they were confident their own policies would win wide support.

It's not democracy unless I control both parties! - Parker, probably.

There should be a site that identifies all David Parker/TBA-endorsed candidates for these positions on the various boards and parties in Alberta. That way, it can be communicated to the masses what that group is trying to get involved in, and who to be aware of that represents their regressive/backwater/fringe conservative policies.

He wouldn’t have to be a member to run someone’s campaign though. Or, he could just buy a membership.
