It's the last weekend before Christmas, and I'll be darned if I'm going to spend it on this bird site raging about politics. One thread and I'm moving on to gingerbread and butter tarts and Christmas tunes. +
Alberta: your government made some very undemocratic moves this week to cater to their base.
They rammed through their Sovereignty legislation, limiting debate on it. They refused to consider bills put forward by the NDP that proposed improvements in health and affordability. +

They passed a 'rebate' on winter utility rates that is actually a deferral that will unfairly burden certain customers. +
"Dangerous" Danielle Smith. A history of her bad takes, and how her bad judgement will hurt Alberta.

Thread: A bad budget from a bad government.
Alberta’s 22-23 budget is a master class of deception & gaslighting. It pretends to have a lot of good news, but page after page signals hardship for the province.

A blanket of smoke is covering #Alberta today.
Climate change events like this are becoming more frequent. So here is a short thread on air quality.

Right now there are air quality advisories across the province.
Health Canada uses a 1-10 scale where 1 is nice clean air and 10 is a like a #Conservative government in your lungs.
Alberta uses the same scale.

A 1-10 scale is beautiful in it’s simplicity, but it also fails to communicate what’s really going ok with air pollution.

Now I want to see a sort of buddy-cop show with @aaronpaquette and @AndrewKnack going around #yeg helping people, & generally making the world a better place.
Every episode some Dark Money “Dr. Claw” type figure tries some evil scheme that gets thwarted…
Maybe call it #yegcc?

In one scene @aaronpaquette needs to look “tough” for some weird reason. He pulls it off, but prefers smiling.
In another, @AndrewKnack’s blue tie is missing, so he ends up wearing a pink one. Everyone he meets loves the pink tie!
@RyanParkers photographs them both.📸

This evening at 4:45pm we got a call from a social worker that works with seniors. She called us in a frenzy asking us for immediate help.
She told us of an emergency so extreme that her voice shook with concern over one of her clients.

This is what she said:
"Hello Jen, I was hoping I would be able to contact you before I left my work for the day in regards to a rather important situation that came across my desk this afternoon. I hope you have the time to chat?"
I said "Yes of course, how can we help?" #care

She said "We have a senior lady that is struggling so much that she has been going door to door asking for food from others in her complex."
I was quiet and honestly speechless.

This is very hard for us to write. But we feel we have no other choice due to us seeing the massive amount of requests that we are getting daily for both Humans and Pets.
Here is what has happened as of late:

Here is what has happened as of late:
This past weekend alone, we had over 30 emergency requests from individuals & families fleeing domestic violence. Many leaving with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
We were able to help about 17 of these individuals find shelter and lodging via referrals to other groups.

The other 13 individuals are being helped by our awesome volunteers. We are tracking down emergency funding and helping them apply for help through various organizations here in #Calgary.
We will be assisting them and their families in hopes of helping them feel safe once again.

Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update. On behalf of AHS I want to acknowledge Albertans & our contact tracing team for notifying 43K+ close contacts from Nov.6-9. Thank you to cases & contacts who worked w/contact tracers. We have to keep this effort up. (1/16)
Together w/limiting social bubbles, maintaining distance, masking & staying home if sick, the efficiency & completeness of contact tracing efforts is critical to stemming new cases in AB. Today, AHS is launching an online portal for automated texting of close contacts. (2/16)
Confirmed cases can use the site to enter info of known close contacts. Once info is reviewed by the contact tracing team w/the case, the tool delivers a text to close contacts & informs them of exposure & to isolate. The name of the positive case is not disclosed. (3/16)
**Evening Update**
We were able to fill an additional 2 hampers on our list. We only have 4 hampers left to fill!
If we can raise funds to deliver the hampers tonight or first thing in the morning, we will be able to give everyone currently on our list a #thanksgivingCanada

I was out shopping for our food hampers, when my phone rang.
Before I go on....I want to make it clear that Harvest Hills Cares Calgary's Phone will always be answered. The only time it won't be is if we are in a meeting or driving.

I answered the phone...It was a mom of 4 that was told by her worker to come down to the AB Works office to turn in her 90 days of bank statements...& that if she didn't bring them down by the end of the day she would not get her check until Tuesday of next week.
Does the #UCP show signs of facism? Let's discuss
Posted in ww2 and holocaust museums, are warnings from the past. Warnings about what brave soldiers and citizens fought against and how those governments were able to get into power. Long thread, sorry!

Where do the UCP sit in regards to these warnings signs?
1. Rampant Nationalism : in this case its more 'provincialism'. This idea that alberta only. And the fear mongering to supporters the UCP have duped about everyone is against us (against alberta). Not true.

Without federal funds during covid, the UCP wouldn't have been able to pay their own staff (they used wage subsidy), not to mention ed funding, covid funding, CERB for 25% of albertans (highest in the country btw)
Media, there is no “Canadian Patriots” *group*
The event in #RedDeer was attended by yellow vests, Soldiers of Odin, Canadian Combat Coalition, World Coalition Against Islam, Urban Infidels, Woke Onez Rebellion - all anti-Muslim.

The supposed “patriot” movement is made up of numerous groups and associations, as well as individuals.
It’s characterized by an intense hatred of Trudeau, fear of communism, anti-Muslim rhetoric, pro-Trump sentiments.
At any given event there can be multiple groups present.

In recent months, the patriot scene has erupted with QAnon, pandemic, and other conspiracies, such as 5G.
It’s always included UN/NWO conspiracies, and wild claims about “globalists.”

It was members of the Calgary-based far-right, Islamophobic street gang known as Urban Infidels Canada. It was formed by Steven "Heathen Steven" Lane after he left the Soldiers of Odin in mid-2019. He has been working on spreading the gang in Ontario and Sweden. (2/10)
Members of UIC attended a hate rally in Edmonton in March 2019. It was being put on by the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam and the Canadian Combat Coalition and it was planned to be 72-hours at the #ableg. (3/10)
Someone messaged us and asked us what the total would be to help everyone that is currently on our list.
To help everyone on our list we would need a total amount of $2435.00
That amount would let us fill all 23 hamper requests.

If anyone could help us reach that total, we could then put the minds of 23 families at ease because then they would not have to worry about having to feed their families. Having to feed their children. Having to go without eating just so they can make the food they do have last

Well gee whiz, another white nationalist group claiming to have had a presence in Red Deer. I'm just shocked. But they were just citizens standing up to actual racists or something something.

This comes just after a Ponoka RCMP officer made a 'good people on both sides' type statement. He said that even though Pat King threatened anti-racist protestors before the rally.

Speaking of threatening protestors, here's Joey Deluca of the barely existent World Coalition Against Islam saying protestors should be run over. According to @RCMPAlberta his speech is just as equal though.

Late last night we had someone phone us at 11:45pm. It was from a mom of 4 who herself had not eaten nothing 3 days just so she could make the food she did have last for her children.
Late last night we had someone phone us at 11:45pm. It was from a mom of 4 who herself had not eaten nothing 3 days just so she could make the food she did have last for her children.
This mom had gone to the food bank and gone to the brown bagging for kids as well has utilized the free meals that are handed out throughout the city.
This is a mom who has tried EVERYTHING to find a job and get help from different organizations and the government.
This is a mom who has tried EVERYTHING to find a job and get help from different organizations and the government.
She went to Alberta Works and was told she had to go after the dad for child support before they could help her. They gave her papers on how to contact maintenance enforcement and how to go to court for child support. That’s great but that doesn’t help her now....
#ICYMI: Here's my story about the anti-racism rally being cancelled in Red Deer Sunday after hate groups assaulted the people in attendance. Alberta Justice Minister @KayceeMaduYEG will be speaking to media at noon. #reddeer #yyc #yeg
Alberta Justice Minister @KayceeMaduYEG says he is deeply disturbed. "I won't tolerate this as Justice minister. This is completely unacceptable. RCMP is responsible for policing in Red Deer. We need to get to the bottom of this.. "
Madu says a criminal investigation has been opened. **When I spoke @RCMPAlberta yesterday there were no ongoing investigations & no charges. #reddeer

But when someone makes a request and demands to be put to the top of the list ahead of others..
But when someone makes a request and demands to be put to the top of the list ahead of others..
...and when they are politely told that it was not possible because there were other requests ahead of them...they accused The Harvest Hills Cares Calgary Team of not wanting to help!
They even threatened to go ahead and tell everyone about the “experience” they had.
