#abgov — Public Fediverse posts

Hearing the UCP is going to introduce anti-bikelane legislation on Monday.

You just know they've been holding on to that one for when they really needed to rally the troops and distract from a truly egregious scandal.

I guess their connections to the Centurion Project and the voter registration leak must actually be pretty serious for them.

Something that I've noticed at hospital Emergency Departments in #Alberta recently... they no longer display the anticipated wait time to see a doctor.

Yeah, those nine hour wait times aren't exactly encouraging.
#abhealth #abgov

I have not given my name or contact information to the #Alberta #UCP so imagine my confusion when I receive phone calls, text messages, emails and letter mail from them.. Most being BS propaganda, but many asking for my support.
Where did they get my info? 🤔

sudden urge to email-blast all UCP MLA's, calling every last one of them a "mother****r"

(I'm not usually like that. Context for those lucky enough to not be in AB: https://www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/article/calgary-mla-tanya-fir-apologizes-for-swearing-on-leaked-voicemail/ )

it's OK you guys, I'll just issue a half-assed "sorry I got caught" apology tomorrow. for disrespecting the people. Which I am supposed to REPRESENT.

Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta publishes report to provincial government on how to develop a framework governing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in Alberta https://oipc.ab.ca/office-of-the-information-and-privacy-commissioner-publishes-report-to-provincial-government-on-how-to-develop-a-framework-governing-use-of-artificial-intelligence-ai-in-alberta/

I read this and it seems well-reasoned. I hope the #ABGov takes it to heart.

Ouch. Unintended consequences here - I agree the #ABGov should at *least* waive those storage fees!

Dear Government of Alberta,
Today, we twenty-five students' associations of Alberta urge you to restore operating grant funding for the province's public and nonprofit post-secondary institutions (PSIs). Since cuts began in 2019, Alberta has dropped from being Canada's third-most educated province to its sixth.....

Why is Alberta Minister Jason Nixon lying about the Province's offer of support for Jasperites who need immediate, interim (~ 5 yrs) housing post wildfire? The reality: the Provence is trying to exploit the disaster in order to carve land from the park --belonging to all Canadians-- for provincial holding. It is complicated but I'll try to explain:
#Abgov offered $112M. They say it's enough for 250 interim homes. #abpoli (1)

Continued #abgov disappointment aside, I wouldn't be too concerned, except that I'm catching a plane in in a few weeks, and then spending a week on a cruise ship before flying home. 😬

A career oil and gas insider will soon be shaping climate policy in Alberta’s department of Environment and Protected Areas.

What could possibly go wrong? 🤔 😬

All Canadian women and girls (and trans men) deserve access to free contraception. You are not truly free unless you control when and whether to become pregnant. So I applaud the Canadian govt for including birth control in the 1st phase of pharmacare. If only Albertans were included! https://youtu.be/av-nIwDcYGg?si=Nz4NbHB03xU-gaG9 #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #Canada #pharmacare #contraception #Alberta #ableg #abgov #diabetes

Most people who support the job the #UCP government is doing are doing so from a position of privilege or ignorance. 😕

Thank you to Tim Caulfield for speaking up against this toxic tomfoolery. What have we come to, that the governing party and its MLAs are sponsoring such an event with faux naive “just both sides ism” as their nonsensical excuse. https://calgary.citynews.ca/2024/05/14/calgary-ucp-vaccine-misinformation-town-hall/ #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #abgov #vaccines #Covid #antivax #UCP

This kind of dangerous disinformation and fear mongering leaves me breathless with fury. Lies and anti science propaganda being spread with the imprimatur of the governing party. This isn’t just a festival of cranks. This is giving a platform to people who are truly putting children at risk while engaging in a neo-medieval witch hunt against mainstream medicine. https://www.unitedconservative.ca/events/an-injection-of-truth-town-hall/ #ableg #abgov #abpoli #UCP #vaccines #Covid #antivax #Alberta

“What I find completely outrageous is that taxpayers were funding a greenwashing tour. We’re essentially funding folks who are there to lobby for private interests, but with public money.”  #Abpoli #abgov #ucp

I flew to Washington DC Thursday afternoon for a series of meeting related to my work as deputy chair of the Senate agriculture committee. Since it’s my first visit to DC, I squeezed in a little sightseeing too. #SenateofCanada #AGFO #Canada #WashingtonDC #Alberta #abgov #cdnpoli #SouthDakota

"To give an idea of the scale of infeasibility: if production continued at normal levels and we simply sucked up the emissions with CCUS, by 2050 it would require more electricity than the entire world consumed in 2022, as well as USD $3.5 trillion in investments every year between now and then."

Once more I have to fill a form only with Adobe Reader. Guess I will pull it down for a few hours and then scrub it again. Someday, my OS will see it as too toxic to let it run and then what will services do who still use it as a crutch for forms.

Gads is #ABGov pushing pulling AB out of the CPP so hard on YouTube. They paid good money to advertise this on media. We pay for this action. I see it as a political action of the UCP for reasons to trying to snipe on the Feds to get control. Pushing a single report as if definitive.

@thebreakdown
Seems Alberta Health and the #ABgov never saw this coming and could not see the risk it would. Certainly sat on information a while so more got the E. coli infection too. Children in hospital is a problem for the child and the parents and the impact on the government reputation is beside the point. #ABhealth #ABpoli
