I cannot *BELIEVE* that the University of Alberta is merrily wandering along, desecrating a war memorial.

Rewatching last night's game. One thing that immediately stands out is how confident Hale's kick game was. Whatever they've been doing with him, please do more! Also, D showed up big time, and Tommy Stevens is an absolute treasure. #CFL

The Edmonton Heritage Festival has long been major source of canned/packaged food donations to the Edmonton Food Bank. But I was speaking with Food Bank bosses last night, and this year they are asking people NOT to bring food items to Hawrelak Park. Cash donations still gratefully accepted. Why?..

“If a surgeon can get paid four times as much in the for-pay system, they’re going to prioritize their time there, and that’s going to mean less of their time is available in the public system," said Dr. Braden Manns, a physician and professor of health economics at the University of Calgary.
Private billing law for doctors threatens universal health care, critics charge
Alberta's Health Statutes Amendment Act could create a "dual-practice" framework allowing physicians to provide publicly insured care and privately paid services.

The disgraceful abandonment of #Indigenous communities in northern Ontario that are threatened by #wildfires. These are the same communities that are being bullied and cajoled into agreeing to destructive mining projects.
