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...

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.

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

Alberta government creating standards for releasing oil tailings into environment | CBC News
The Alberta government says it will begin creating standards for releasing treated oil tailings into the environment.
Human health will undoubtedly continue to be sacrified for the industry. I canβt 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/...

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.
Letβs get this straight, the big oil CEO gouging Canadians for the bungled Trans Mountain pipeline is the best person to lead projects of βnational interestβ? When will the Liberals wake up and stop dumping money into the black hole of resource extraction during a climate crisis?
