In light of the #UCP hitting pause on plans for supervised injection services in Red Deer, Medicine Hat, and Calgary, I asked McCauley Community League president Greg Lane about the existing facility in his neighbourhood. I didn't expect him to say what he did... (1/3)
"I don't think anyone's going to argue the value of saving lives. The data's there in the proof of how many lives they've saved. It's an intervention opportunity. This is a thing that's been stigmatized. There's been an issue with needles in the community for a while..." (2/3)
"Overall, the data I've seen from EPS re: disturbances and unrest, those numbers have not gone up. It's not had a negative impact in that regard." MCL president Greg Lane's comments re: supervised injection sites begin at 8:00 mark: omny.fm/shows/ryan-jes… #yeg #ableg #PWUD (3/3)

After looking at the platforms, additional information and the leaders debate this is what I am let with. ALL parties will be running a deficit. Oil revenue paid for a lot of things which allowed us to have low taxes 1/ 18
#abvote #abpoli #shpk #yeg #yyc #strathco
Oil prices crash, we have been through this often. And every time it happens it is the same. Jobs are lost, people's lives go off the rails and the Alberta economy crashes. This time is no different than the last time or the time before. We have some hard choices to make 2/18
Just looking at the top 2 parties. At the end of the next 4 year term #UCP will have us at 86 bill in debt and #abndp will have us at 95 bill in debt. This is a difference of 9 bill over a 4 year term or 2.25 bill per year. So what does each plan get us? 3/18

#president @KRLS: "Rey o República no era un debate hasta que Felipe VI entro en política. En Europa hay muchas monarquías que entienden su rol, básicamente callar en política porque nadie les ha votado. No es el caso de España".

Entrevista a @WRadioColombia (Hilo 👇)
#president @KRLS: "El català es una lengua hablada por 10 millones de personas pero no se puede hablar en el @Europarl_EN . Soy crítico con las instituciones europeas porque quiero una Europa mucho mas democrática"
#president @KRLS: "Quiero una EU que alce la voz cuando uno de sus estados miembros, como España, viola los derechos fundamentales. Hay muchos ciudadanos europeos que sienten decepción al ver que solo priman los intereses económicos y no los derechos fundamentales"

Hilarious. Also, this morning I read through the entire #UCP platform, and it is full of dogwhistles, pandering to business, and deeply troubling policy "ideas" (a word I'm using rather charitably here).

A thread will be forthcoming in the next little while. #ableg
As promised: deconstructing the #UCP platform.

Kenney continues to be leader of three parties, and we should all remember his astroturfing of social media accounts, like Unite Alberta. It's in this spirit, of course, that the platform isn't actually on the UCP website. #ableg
It's fine to have election-specific pages, but it's interesting to have an entire website dedicated to this campaign that, really, operates as yet another Kenney front, which was registered in 2016, a year and a half before the UCP even existed. #ableg

Albertans have some decisions to make regarding what direction they want our province to go. I am hearing a lot about track records and taxes on all sides of the fence so I wanted to throw my 2 cents out into the internet universe. #ableg #abpoli #abvote 1/
Society pays taxes for a reason. Those dollars collected are designed to go to needed infrastructure, repair & maintenance as well as programs that save us money in the long run and make our society a better place to live. It's literally the governments JOB to spend those $$ 2/
Both sides have a track record. Albertans need to decide which track record they like and which track record they want to see for Alberta's future. I have chosen my view and my side and I would like to tell you why I think we are #BetterOffWithRachel 3/

#president @KRLS "No tinc xofers ni seguretat, però tinc gent que ajuda. És evident que l'Estat em considera "caça major", però no pots viure amb paranoia constant. Qui ha de viure amb por són els criminals, no nosaltres" #QuatreGatsTV3
#president @KRLS "Matí i nit intento parlar amb la dona i les nenes i fer els deures amb elles. Curiosament quan era a Catalunya no podia fer-ho. El dia a dia és a dins de la Casa, si no no surto" #QuatreGatsTV3
#president @KRLS "El Consell és un espai fora l'abast de la repressió espanyola. Això no ho paga fons públics, ni clavegueres de l'Estat ni fons reservat. Es fa igual que l'1oct. Jo ara no tinc sou. Intento gastar el mínim " #QuatreGatsTV3

#President @realDonaldTrump's words, whether you accept his apology and his explanation, do not comport with his actions and his foreign policy toward #Russia. He has been one of the hardest presidents on Russia in recent memory.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion
Where was the outrage when @BarackObama told Medvedev to inform #Putin "After my election I have more flexibility,"? I think much of the outrage being expressed- especially by #Republicans- is politically motivated.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion #Russia
However, what @realDonaldTrump said was not right. It DID undermine our #IntelligenceCommunity, and it was a mistake. He has since corrected it and walked it back.
