My 87 year old mother called me to tell me she had an off phone call today from
Save-On-Foods pharmacy. They told her they were offering a $300 vaxx to her age group for FREE. WOOHOO free stuff. I am glad she called me because firstly, she had no idea what they would be vaccinating her for (she is currently sick with some sort of respiratory illness) and secondly wasn’t sure if she already had a shot. I called Save On to see what they were offering (haven’t heard back yet) so I checked online and it’s the RSV shot, something she doesn’t need because she has probably had it and has antibodies and secondly she’s sick so NO. She says “but it’s a good deal, FREE. After all we have been through, after all the illness and deaths she was still thinking about it, unbelievable. I told her if she’s currently sick with RSV and gets a shot it could kill, her a lie I know but what the hell. you never know. She’s not getting the free shot but I’m thinking it’s going to expire soon and they have to get it into arms to have it covered by Heath Canada.

That is not a pipeline victory.
It is the oldest trick in Canadian politics: permission dressed up as partnership.”

🎯 “Most importantly, she needs to remember that Alberta did not ask her to improve the management of our economic decline.
It asked for a premier who would fight back.
She was elected to push back. She was not elected to manage Alberta’s decline more efficiently.
That is why the political shift now underway is dangerous for her. The issue is not simply that some Albertans disagree with her. That is normal.
The problem is that many of the people who once saw her as Alberta’s strongest defender now see a Premier drifting back toward the same old Canadian compromise machine.
The language has changed.
The early message was defiance. The current message is “a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada.”
That may sound clever at the speaker’s podium, but to many of us it now sounds like a slogan designed to contain anger rather than act on it.
A sovereign Alberta within a united Canada may be a constitutional ...
