Reminder that privatization was always the plan:

“Alberta Health Services intends to privatize all community labs across Alberta, despite new figures that suggest outsourcing could save far less money than originally estimated.”

—June, 2020

“Alberta Health Services and Alberta Precision Laboratories (APL) have reached an agreement on terms of a contract for DynaLIFE Medical Labs to deliver community laboratory services across the province.”

—January, 2022. #abhealth

DynaLife is a member of the Alberta Enterprise Group.

Through AEG and Wellington Advocacy, it has been lobbying the #UCP government for quite a while to embed itself further into the delivery of healthcare.
A year ago, the former leader of the Wild Rose party and hydroxychloroquine enthusiast, Danielle Smith was named president of the Alberta Enterprise Group.

What’s most interesting is who she works for.
Two of the biggest names involved in AEG are Murray Edwards and Daryl Katz—the owners of Alberta’s NHL franchises.

If you’re a fan of pro sports in Alberta, you’ve probably been indirectly supporting healthcare privatization to companies like DynaLife. 🧵👇

This poll actually reveals hidden racism.
“A disbelief in human evolution was associated with higher levels of prejudice, racist attitudes and support of discriminatory behaviour. UMass Amherst research findings consistent across countries, cultures, genders & religions.”

White Americans who learn about Covid's racial disparities have:

1) reduced fear about Covid
2) reduced empathy for those vulnerable to Covid
3) reduced support for Covid protections

White supremacy directly increases Covid's harms.

I found some stickers in Calgary that seemed suspicious. They claimed that lies are mutating, and that there are tyrants…

I removed the names and .urls, but i wasn’t able to fully remove the stickers.

TIL about “The White Rose,” a short thread. 🧵
“The stickers are the work of an anti-vaxx group calling themselves the White Rose, named after the WWII-era anti-fascist group led by Hans & Sophie Scholl, who were both executed by the Gestapo after being caught distributing anti-Nazi leaflets.”

Holocaust references have become increasingly common among anti-vaxx agitators, who compare themselves to the persecuted Jews who were forced to wear a yellow star — a comparison Jewish organizations and leaders have condemned as antisemitic.

In Canada, wealthy families can place their children in expensive elite segregated schools to prevent them from getting to know the poor, and to shield them from the knowledge that the rich aren’t actually better than the poor.

Will you demand an end to school segregation?
In Alberta, the government subsidizes these elite segregated schools to the tune of hundreds of millions every year.

This is the cancer that feeds generations of Conservative children that they are better than; and more deserving than the poor.

🧵
👇

In spite of the gross advantage and welfare granted for the wealthy, it isn’t enough for Jason Kenney. He sees secular education as an obstacle to Conservative domination over society.

Understand that Alberta is an oligarchy.

Sure things here might not be quite as bad as Russia or parts of the US, but that doesn’t make the way our petro-state oligarchy runs okay.

#ableg #cdnpoli
#BoycottUCPdonors
Government officials frequently wear hoodies declaring their loyalty to #oilandgas oligarchs.

It’s pathetic how out-in-the-open this is, yet people do nothing. Image
This relationship means hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars are transferred from the public to private hands every year in the name of #oilandgas.

Stick to your principles like Betty White and your legacy will be on the right side of history.
One of Betty White’s projects was a show called “The Golden Palace” where Don Cheadle and Cheech Martin join the Golden Girls to run a hotel.

In one episode, Cheadle’s character confronts Blanche about the racism in her past.

In a second appearance, Cheadle explained further. “The legacy of that flag is alive every time I’m walking down the street with a group of my friends and I see a white person cross over to the other side because they’re afraid,”

Alt-lite commentators and right-wing media outfits downplaying the severity of identified variants of concern is just more fear uncertainty and doubt from Conservative manipulators.

Climate change is real.
The Earth is round.

Kay’s primary outlet for his alt-light opinions is the Post Millennial—the paragraph arm of Jeff Ballingall’s facebook page, “Canada Proud.”

“The Post Millennial, a right-wing website owned by Canada Proud’s Jeff Ballingall and members of Montreal’s wealthy Azrieli family.”
