Albertans are witnessing the deathblow to fair and equitable HC access right here, and all without even a discussion to see if there is a mandate for govt to do this.
This is not hyperbole or fearmongering.

Let's pick 10 quick highlights🧵:

Business as usual = climate breakdown = economic and societal collapse

When asked if she would take any responsibility for the Tylenot™️ scandal she created...

She blamed a former leader, a leadership race & a byelection.

Smith was elected leader in Oct 2022

She won her byelection in Nov 2022

The purchase was in Dec 2022

Today, Danielle Smith will unveil Alberta’s new vehicle license plate that features a slogan: “Strong & Free”.

Smith will surely argue that it is featured on Alberta’s coat of arms however, we all know that’s it’s a dogwhistle for separatists and, is new plate a priority?

That...

Was fast.

The restructuring of Alberta Healthcare continues to go smoothly...

It’s their day today 🎶🕺🏻

If you want a COVID-19 vaccine in Alberta this is what you now need to do:

1. "Pre-order" by Sept. 30: bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr...

2. In the fall, remember to book a public health clinic appointment. (No more pharmacy shots.)

3. Pay. (Prices not yet announced.)

4. Attend appointment.

If your son or brother admitted that he and his teammates had sex with an intoxicated woman, would you think, well as long as it was not illegal in a court of law it is acceptable? That is the difference between right and wrong vs criminal law.

Province allows Alberta nurses to get faster benefit coverage for on-the-job PTSD | CBC News The Alberta government has changed the rules to make it easier for registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses to get benefits when they experience job-related stress disorder

When Alberta nurses apply for Workers' Compensation Board benefits for PTSD, the board must now assume the stress was caused by their work unless proven otherwise. The change means nurses will no longer be forced to wait for — or be denied — benefits after experiencing traumatic events on the job.

It’s more than the Boyle Street Curse.

*crosses 💜*

I swear. It’s more.

Pros: inexpensive, easily found materials locally or online, more effective than HEPA air purifiers

Cons: take up a fair amount of space, kinda ugly (can be made cuter with creative shroud design and coloured tape), box fans can be noisy

Pros definitely outweigh any cons for breathable air

Set ours up again today, cute cat not included.

Windows closed, furnace fan on, CR box fan will run all day.

June is Indigenous History Month in Canada, and I'd like to recommend to anyone I know who hasn't ever taken Indigenous Canada to register today and start the free class today. It's an Indigenous centred history course and frankly, will be world changing for you.

Read that again: for-profit private hospitals ONLY MAKES SENSE economically if govt intends to make Joe Albertan pay out of pocket for the profit margin costs...

ABs should be very concerned. Did you vote for this? Does govt have a mandate for this?

The UCP is facing 8 investigations into corruption, plus no fewer than 3 major public sector union strikes (all of their own making).

The affordability crisis looms, as does a trade war with the US.

Wildfires & measles are raging.

And the premier chose now to clear a path for a separation vote.

Alberta overhauls election laws to allow corporate donations, change referendum thresholds | CBC News The Alberta government wants to bring back corporate and union political donations, eliminate vouching for a voter’s identity at election polling stations, and lower the threshold for recalls and refe...

A government under seven (7) different investigations for corruption just introduced a bill that would bring more corporate money into politics.

This is not normal.

As I've said before - I don't want tax cuts, I want well funded and supportive social programs to help everyone in society.

“We regularly hear stories from Albertans who voluntarily seek out mental health or addictions support, but can’t find it ... The real issue we need to tackle is a lack of access to timely care, not a push to further criminalize those who use drugs,” said Gallaway

SORRY. Sorry.
Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

Community and home care saves $$$ in both preventing people from needing hospital care and getting them home sooner after a hospitalization

Photo of the Alberta Legislature building, with a blue filter. Overlaid text reads: "Albertans Redouble Calls on Government to Improve Home Care Services. Read more from FOM: friendsofmedicare.org/news"

FOM & disability activists are at the Legislature today to renew our calls on the UCP government to improve Alberta's home care — & we're bringing our petition with more than 37,000(!) signatures in support: www.friendsofmedicare.org/redoubled_ca...

📢Take action: friendsofmedicare.org/fundhomecare

Bill 53 will take away rights from Albertans.
What if we funded harm reduction instead?

How embarrassing 😅

Politicians micromanaging HC is actively destroying our HC system…

We will suffer for years to come as highly qualified HC leaders avoid this province like the plague (which we may see again in AB for lack of evidence based Public Health policy!)

The Pain-Racked Patients Alberta’s Orthopedic Surgery Centre Won’t Take | The Tyee Surgeons offered a $975,000 way to fix the public clinic’s backlog of 1,400 ‘complex’ cases. AHS said no.

Don MacKinnon is one of more than 1,400 complex surgical patients on a waiting list at the Orthopedic Surgery Centre, or OSC, a 56-bed stand-alone clinic operated by Alberta Health Services at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton.

Man, I hope so! Blake Desjarlais is such an engaged MP. I always see him at events around the neighbourhood. Diotte is nowhere to be found.

Conservative refuses invite to Edmonton Centre debate Sayid Ahmed hasn't accepted invite for the April 16 debate. His Liberal and NDP rivals saythey aren't surprised

Silence from the Conservatives is the new normal.

It’s disappointing, but not surprising.

This is about democracy. It’s about making yourself accountable to the people you hope to represent in Ottawa.
