We're almost 6 weeks from a highly publicized death at an ED in Edmonton

Govt said it's all "just influenza" (ignore our govt admitting we can no longer handle seasonal volumes)

Govt said everything that can be done is being done...

EDs in EDM today - still Gridlocked

The federal Conservatives are overhauling their policy playbook. Here's what's changing | CBC News Delegates at the Conservative Party's national convention in Calgary voted overwhelmingly Saturday to enact a "stand your ground"-style law to allow someone to protect themselves with lethal force aga...

Bottom line: Canadian Conservatives want to recreate the right wing US in Canada.

Meanwhile, on the health file, the 🇨🇦Conservatives have Pierre Polievre as the leader who hates expertise, incited the anti-vaxx KuKluxKonvoy truckers and promises to ban all vaccine mandates so your kids can get polio, whooping cough, measles, mumps, COVID etc etc.

Everyone agrees our 🇨🇦health care system needs some fixing.
So the Liberals are running Dr. Danielle Martin in Uni-Rosedale to succeed Ms Freeland.
Dr. Martin has published ‘Six Big Ideas to Improve Health Care for All Canadians’ and testified before the US Senate on our 🇨🇦public system.

Trump’s America Comes for Alberta | The Tyee The country must respond to this flagrant violation of Canadian sovereignty.

@stewartprest.ca: This is an unambiguous and flagrant violation of Canadian sovereignty.

It is going to get worse, and Canadians who wish to see the country remain intact need to respond.

Make no mistake — Trump’s America is coming for Alberta.

Graph showing the reported number of EMS dispatches for drug toxicity by the government, beside the actual number internally reported by Alberta Health Services. The real numbers are around six times larger than the reported numbers. Data are shown from 2020 to 2023 and were obtained in a freedom of information request to Alberta Health Services.

SCOOP
The Alberta government reported just over 10,500 EMS dispatches for drug toxicity in 2023.

The reality? More than 61,000 — a staggering one in six ambulances that year.

Things have not improved since, and 2025 set a new record.

Funny how quickly the commitment to “freedom” disappears for this type of conservative when it’s tested. Derek is like “I’m libertarian but I want to import death squad tactics to make my neighbours disappear.”

It’s almost like Libertarianism is a fake astroturf ideology for annoying guys

I want people to realize 2 things:

1) The Alberta Independence campaign isn't *meant* to succeed, and

2) It *doesn't have to*, in order to achieve the objective that the Trump administration is funding it for.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."

Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

It won’t be a State. It will be a territory. Republicans will strip Alberta of resources and Albertans will have no say. Which normally would be a good thing but…

It's no small decision, but this is the only one that hews to both our values and our interests

It may help in the short term, but is just a temporizing measure.

For those who have seen Jaws, the solution can be summed up simply: "we're gonna need a bigger boat"!

We still need to clear the beach to have room to pull the people in... and of course we need the skilled lifeguards free from other lifesaving to be able to do the rescuing.

It MUST be adequately resourced, and the severe overcrowding in hospitals addressed.

Why the Triage Liaison Physician (TLP = waiting room doc) is just a temporary band-aid:

Picture a bunch of people in various stages of drowning in an ED WR

The TLP can just say "save that one next", but if no lifeguards/resources/beds to act then it doesn't help

Senior with influenza waited 90 hours in Edmonton emergency department, family says Patients are languishing for days in makeshift waiting areas to receive care

For 90+ hours, Carla Peck's 79 y/o dad was confined to a stretcher in an Edmonton ED, which worsened his condition. Many Alberta patients are languishing for days in makeshift waiting areas as patient demand exceeds hospital bed availability. #ableg #abpoli @theglobeandmail.com

Honourable @evansolomon.bsky.social,
X is unsafe for women. It promotes hate. You know this. Why is the Government of Canada continuing to use this abusive platform that's so clearly opposed to Canadian values – the values that you and our Prime Minister profess to protect? #BanX #BanGrok

Danielle Smith's separatism games are coming at a dangerous moment Alberta's premier loves to talk about standing up for her province. Will she ever show the same enthusiasm when it comes to Canada?

Danielle Smith's willingness to cater to Alberta separatists was always a dangerous game.

Now, in the wake of America's attack on Venezuela and its covetous advances on Greenland, she's effectively risking Canada's future in order to save her own. #cdnpoli
