Not AHS - the UCP.
They chose the riskiest option on the table as part of a political stunt & left Albertans with the bill. #abpoli
βDanielle Smithβs government signed a $70-million deal to import childrenβs pain relief medication from Turkey in 2022 despite expert advice that the province ask Ottawa to take the lead to avoid the risk of a βsignificant net loss of funds,β

"The briefing notes warned that if Alberta selected this option it could end up with too much medicine, too late, or it could end up with little to no medicine despite paying upfront"
Alberta bypassed two safer suggestion from experts in kids' meds deal

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE.
These are not the actions of a democratic nation.
This is the creep of fascism.
I am calling on Canadians to avoid all travel to the USA.

Can't wait for all the truckers to drive to a mass protest in Alberta. Oh wait, they live there.
