The UCP is dismantling our social safety net, forcing seniors to rely on the "Charity Pool" instead of legal entitlements. Cutting these benefits leads to skipped meds and ER visits, worsening the healthcare crisis. We need public support, not "benevolence". #ABleg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Thousands of Alberta seniors to lose income supplement as province faces rising provincial deficit | CBC News Alberta is making cuts to seniors' benefits and tax credits for caregivers as it faces a $9.4-billion budget deficit.

We have a $9.4B deficit but we aren't going to make any cuts. Until they do. The most vulnerable always lose in the end. Always.

250 Albertans dead. A four-year streak of record-breaking tragedy. And the Chief Medical Officer of Health? "Unavailable."

Has anyone explained to the Alberta separatists that they would effectively be inviting near-permanent Liberal majorities in the country that surrounds them?

The CPC without its 30-plus seats in Alberta is barely a competitive national party.

Racialized Albertans are facing increased levels of hatred & discrimination.

They should be able to trust that their elected leaders are working to make that better, not worse.

Sadly, with Danielle Smith and the UCP, it’s increasingly clear they can’t.

That’s unacceptable. #abpoli

Does Danielle Smith Care About the Alberta Emergency Room Crisis? Dr Parks Is Skeptical

AB ER docs are suffering moral distress as patients die in waiting rooms.

Danielle Smith says ABGov is collaborating on a solution.

This is a lie.

Tommy Douglas was one of the most important politicians in Canadian history.
The premier of Saskatchewan, he later led the federal NDP and was instrumental in bringing in Universal Healthcare.
In 2004, he was named The Greatest Canadian.
This is his story.
