Looks like it might be time for another chat about The Dorchester Review…

You know, the “magazine” run by the same guy who by some accounts wrote Jason Kenney’s Social studies curriculum?

Thread…

The Dorchester Review has decided to again double down on “not all First Nations kids who went to residential schools were forced”.

Which is true, but like saying “Not everyone who ever stayed in a concentration camp at any point in history died”.

It is, at best a pedantic & semantic argument.

The number of sources used in a article doesn’t speak to the quality of the info or how it’s used.

Don’t believe us?

Google “Hydroxychloroquine” or “Ivermectin”. You’ll find lots of source notes…

Really, if we want to know whether or not kids were forced out of their homes at gunpoint to go to schools against their and their parents will, we should ask the people facilitating it…

Cause even they are pretty clear.

Trying to find a good thing about a crime against a humanity is denial of those crimes.

Full stop.

Continuing to push that agenda?

Allowing that agenda to influence “new” curriculum?

That just perpetuates the original crime.

Live Tweeting the UCP SGM?

Yup!

Meeting is starting with Cynthia Moore explaining the rules and opening ceremonies, explaining the agenda. Moore is making it clear that no other motions or resolutions are allowed.
Moore introducing Ashley Stevenson to sing the national anthem.

Which she does.

“In all thy sons command” btw…

Budget address time!

Mostly so far a bragging list of companies that have come to Alberta and projects that have started.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Toews invokes Ukraine and pivots to ethical oil.

We’re staying classy is seems.
From the health budget, everything stays the same or gets a bump except for Support services and Physician Compensation and development.

That should attract and retain docs to Alberta…

Live tweeting todays EMS presser?

Sounds good!

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #EMS
Copping - EMS is busy yo. No people, no trucks, call volume is up.

References the 4 Airdrie calls that saw CFD transport a child because there were no ambulances available…

Copping - We increased paramedics and the EMS budget, but that wasn’t enough.

So we’re running an EMS advisory committee that’s run by MLA’s Allard and Sigurdson.

There’s been a lot of debate surrounding these two tweets, one from Copping & one from his Comms advisor…

So we tried to make some sense of it.

And fell down an extremely confusing rabbit hole.

A thread you’re going to want to read…

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #COVID19AB
The first question was why, as per the ministers own tweet, he was only isolating after he rapid tested positive despite symptoms.

His Comms advisor corrected that by saying Copping was isolating immediately, implication being Coppings tweet was just poorly written.

/2
To be clear, the current restrictions on ONE of the government websites is that anyone with symptoms must isolate.

As you can clearly see here…
