Is it just me that thinks the Trump Administration wants to have a safe haven in case things go south?

RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #1
- ABs are not aware of how frequently rural EDs are closed, and the impact on the people in these communities.
- the ever-worsening stats are meaningless
- it's important to put a human face on what's happening.

Anonymized Actual Case #1:

The news that Imperial Oil is closing its Calgary office and cutting jobs is a significant blow to Calgary's and Alberta's economies.

We need a Premier who keeps Alberta’s investment market competitive, instead of chasing separatism.

Remove big money from politics. Only allow private citizen donations and end pacs and corporate donations. Unlikely to happen but limits would help too.

The thought pattern that needs to change is that it is America now. And for the next 3.5 years. More if you don't stop it.

'Gut punch': Canadians diagnosed with cancer in emergency don't know when they will be treated Ontario emergency doctors describe challenges of managing people with suspected cancer amid family doctor crisis.

Can confirm: I and my emerg colleagues are seeing and diagnosing more and more advanced cancers in the EDs, and β€œwith higher stages of diagnosis and increased mortality.”
And there's no privacy, no established relationship, and followup is very difficult

Thanks, unfortunately mine is not the type. And has already spread to my lymph nodes. So I will need to be treated first for the spread before they will reconsider the surgery. Thank you for your thoughts.

Sorry, I need to vent. I received my biopsy results on July 12 this year showing bladder cancer. I saw this morning that I have an appointment at the Cross cancer center on November 3. It's going to take almost 4 months to receive treatment for metastatic cancer. I'm screwed. #abpoli #ableg #ahs

Under the UCP, Alberta now has:

➑️ The 2nd most expensive utilities ➑️ The 2nd highest auto insurance
➑️ The HIGHEST unemployment
➑️ The LOWEST minimum wage

They have a whole ministry tasked with making life affordable. But, does it feel more affordable for you & your family?

Tweet by Danielle Smith showing Canadian Citizenship added to an Alberta driver's license.

So, Alberta wants to add your Canadian Citizenship status to your driver's license. They also want to incorporate Alberta healthcare cards to your driver's license. Two new changes, are they linked? Are we going to be denying people healthcare now?

I've been seeing some firings of people for postings about #charliekirk demise. I can't help thinking about the vast number of firings after Donald Trump's demise. Half the American workforce could be gone. #donaldtrump #uspoli #cdnpoli

Let's talk about AB's HC workforce, a 🧡 :
The graph is for all of Canada, but this trend continues and is getting worse in AB.
Many reasons but key ones:
- "refocusing" has eliminated any ability for our province to do workforce planning. NO COORDINATED work being done

Thank you for the link. It was hard to listen to. But the hour is getting late and Democracy is in peril. Good trouble and fighting the good fight are necessary. Too much is on the line.
