A private market that will be interested, or capable of, dealing with emergencies? Serious illness? A boutique market is not a substitute for a comprehensive healthcare system.

The Montreal Economic Institute is a far right group and much like the Fraser Institute they can not be trusted to deal with real facts they are highly ideologically based. Danielle Smith quoting them demonstrates you are doing the wrong thing and will fail as always.

Thanks. I wanted to share because I need the world to know that the UCP's decisions are having real affects on average Albertans. Thinking about starting a substack to document the journey.

Duane, I’ll wait for the recap & spare myself.

Aside from those that must watch, we should not watch this paid #propaganda, & starve this cow of any attention.

Based on CofS Anderson, sounds like Smith will not be discussing the budget in her TV address on Thursday, but immigration.

So, we can expect more distraction from her government's overall incompetence & terrible handling of a number of important files, more racist dog whistles, & more outright lies and misinformation. Totally predictable, sadly, for this province. Our Premier is not a leader but an aspiring dictator.

Wait. Did it say “I promise to piss it all away again!” Did I read that wrong?
“The province is projecting a $6.4-billion deficit when the fiscal year ends in March, representing a massive multibillion-dollar swing from an $8.3-billion surplus the year prior.”

Smith & the UCP have robbed Albertans blind. Have you had enough Alberta! Fuck.

This is…

Remarkable.

After CITYNews ran a story about how the separatism question in Alberta became a distraction from the charitable memorial climb that Demetrios Nicolaides did for his murdered sister…

They have been blackballed by Nicolaides Press Secretary.

The public system does the life saving surgeries, like cancer and heart.

So we'll have less of that going forward as the population increases, and ages.

What could go wrong?

#UCPDeathCult
BREAKING!

Smith says that while she will ensure the public system doesn't decrease the amount of surgeries under her two tiered private system...

She's not going to require any growth.

This is how you create a private market with a growing population.

USA Sunoco bought the parent company of M&M, Parkland Corporation.
Now M&M is owned by a USA O&G company.

Did you know M&M Food Market is no longer Canadian? What this acquisition means surprising things for retail
The Parkland buyout deal likely flew under the radar for many Canadians, which meant they missed an important detail

The BC government is furiously defending a new term they made up, called "re-pace", to describe removing many long-term care facilities from the capital budget

They really don't like people saying they've been cancelled or indefinitely delayed

But also, there's no longer any financial commitment

An electable conservative movement in Canada requires including conservatives who are not white, which is the only reason why ghouls like Kenney are speaking this way.

Juno News' Candice Malcolm is angry Jason Kenney called her website "racist" for hosting a white nationalist guest

"We're trying to open the Overton Window ... and this is an example of Jason Kenney actually trying to close it," Malcolm says, accusing Kenney of using a "tactic of cancel culture"

Today, the #BCBudget is under fire. I’m appalled that even the #NDP refuse to focus on reinventing the provincial economy beyond LNG & resources extraction. In #BC & "every day 100 soccer fields of irreplaceable old growth are cut down. Only a fraction of the most endangered stands are protected.“
