4/ Here's my other thread, referencing the timeline - it's not been a Liberal govt for decades, it's disingenuous for the fed NDP to keep using that talking point
Alberta Health Services plans to privatize community lab services | CBC News cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
2/ (Abbrev) "AHS intends to privatize all community labs across Alta, despite new figures that suggest outsourcing could save far less money than originally estimated.
It's a move critics say puts timely patient care & a reliable lab system at risk at the worst possible time."
3/ (Abbrev) "Faced w inadequate space & aging equip, the NDP govt planned a $600-mil public lab hub, dubbed the "superlab," in Edm.
When the UCP govt was elected in 2019, it stopped the superlab construction, losing the $23 million that had already been spent on the project."
1/ Thread:
Info on Cdn major religions’ stances on Covid-19 vaccinations, article(s) and a tweet for each major religion, put together to counter the anti-vaxxer’s talking point/excuse of avoiding Covid-19 vaccinations on religious grounds.
2/ Before adding tweets to this thread, per religion, here is a graphic with the distribution of religious affiliations, population aged 15 and older, Canada, 2017 to 2019 Statistics Canada www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/11-627-…
3/ On ingredients:
(Abbrev) “[S]ome religions prohibit the use of certain byproducts like beef, pork or stem cells [but] none of those ingredients are proven to be included in any of the COVID-19 vaccines.” globalnews.ca/news/8251956/c…
1/ Here’s a (short) thread linking tweets and articles with some useful info related to the Calgary municipal election, Oct 18, 2021 – specifically re mayoral candidates:
2/ I'm listening to a presser on @CBCNews right now. Chyron: "Members of big city mayors' caucus speak before meeting PM Trudeau today in Ottawa."
This reminds me of how important it is that we vote for our choice of mayor, as they advocate for Calgary to the feds.
- really don't think I should have to get a booster, simply bec I mixed my doses: AZ & Pfizer, holding off for now. Many of us received the AZ, in a way to protect our communities, & cannot see anything wrong w mixed dosing. Why is the US unsure about this?
ref (abbrev) "The U.S. is also awaiting guidance from the CDC about travellers who received mixed doses of COVID-19 vaccines or the AZ vaccine. The U.S. has not approved the mixing of vaccine doses or the AstraZeneca vaccine for its own residents." cbc.ca/news/canada/us…
3/ that said (see my top tweet), we have no plans to travel to the US anytime soon. They are struggling more with containing Covid-19 - less vaccinated, higher case counts, especially the states we would be driving through to get elsewhere: Montana and/or Idaho
- reminder that the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a member of the Atlas Network. Koch has been known to fund the global "Atlas Network" which includes Canada Strong & Free Network
2/ - and if you plug in the word Koch in the Atlas Network website search box, it returns 27 results, with top reference to a Koch Internship Program in 2019 atlasnetwork.org/partners
