Just like recall legislation, most conservative supporters do not realize that this crap is going to make their lives much worse than before. All they want to do is accept whatever story comes from the mouths of the elite, without considering the consequences.

Opinion: Private-pay medical testing is no solution to wait times We urge Albertaโ€™s policymakers to resist the false temptation of paying for private access as a โ€œsolutionโ€ to wait lists.

The UCPโ€™s plan to tackle wait times by introducing private pay in our health-care system is a step backward.
โœ… It worsens access
โœ… It widens inequity
โœ… It jeopardizes quality & health outcomes

This has been tried before, & makes wait-times worse.

Despite AB history, it seems we find ourselves in a place where neither her voters nor her MLAs have the motivation or interest to call her out on anything. Trump-lite.

I don't think I've been more upset hearing news about a person I have never met before. I now realize he had a bigger impact me than I'd thought. He was a guiding light in many issues that I hold important. @drdagly.bsky.social you will be missed. My condolences to his family!

The government has the option to respond to this but they actively chose to ignore it. They are risking lives for $$. I would say thatโ€™s a risk not worth taking.

Just like Smith blocking green energy investment in Ab, itโ€™s the prime time to invest in this nascent technology and bs like RFKs will only lead to irreparable damage to the domestic industry that will be happily taken up by competitors in other countries.
