After 5 years of COVID & flu overloading #yxe hospitals, we enter respiratory illness season with no immmunization plan to keep pts out of hospital & no plan yet in place to increase hospital services & facilitate discharge more quickly. We are already over capacity in #yxe after summer respite. 9/9

Oh nothing to see here folks... an area that is a REFERRAL center for > 200K Albertans doesn't have an obstetrician on call.

Even worse, the system has been carved up into a bunch of little pieces and NO on is working on workforce or future solutions...

Speaking with a friend from Australia, cameras also monitor drivers using cell phones. That would be popular.

Wonderful news. A salutary reminder of the absolute benefits of scientific progress, and the absolute evil of conspiracist bollocks.

It's been over 8 months since govt fired the AHS CEO and the entire AHS Board... ostensibly to make things better, and to give govt more direct control over the HC system.

An acting CEO and no Board, and things are demonstably worse on all acute care fronts.

Wow. Wow. Wow.
This #saskparty government may end up being more corrupt than the Devine government. And the Devine government would be hard to beat. The SPSA has already displayed its wild fire firefighting operational incompetence but this potential fiduciary failure is indefensible. #skpoli

Human health will undoubtedly continue to be sacrified for the industry. I can’t describe how deeply wron this all is. I wonder what people would say if they were going to dump this in the Bow or Elbow rivers?! #environmentalracism www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

IF YOU ARE A WOMAN UNDER 45:

I am 52 this month and it was only after I was BORN that women could get a credit card without a man’s signature.

Do not for a minute think that right can’t be taken away from you.

world's leading association of genocide scholars has declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

A resolution passed by the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) states that Israel's conduct meets the legal definition as laid out in the UN convention on genocide.

I’m trying to get a phone that my elderly parents can actually hear and understand. What a zoo! If the sound is loud enough half of each word cuts out so we have to ask for information repeatedly.

Trans Mountain board chair to lead new federal Major Projects Office based in Calgary | CBC News Dawn Farrell, chair of the Trans Mountain Corporation, has been named the CEO of the Liberal government'sΒ Major Projects Office, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Friday.

Let’s get this straight, the big oil CEO gouging Canadians for the bungled Trans Mountain pipeline is the best person to lead projects of β€˜national interest’? When will the Liberals wake up and stop dumping money into the black hole of resource extraction during a climate crisis?

A broken promise, yet again: Why Canada needs national pharmacare now As an emergency room doctor, I watch seniors decide between groceries and blood pressure pills; I see new immigrants ration insulin. In a country as wealthy and compassionate as Canada claims to be, t...

Told ya. We only got the pharmacare we got because the NDP forced it.

No one stays in a job where they work for free.

Doctors in canada @pattyhajdu.bsky.social aren’t paid for the essential work of patient calls or unessential paperwork.

Paying doctors for essential work and reducing admin burden would help keep our πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦doctors.
