UCP fall session showed who they are. Four uses of the notwithstanding clause, attacks on judges, stripping rights, politicizing health care, and claiming government can change laws at will. This is not democracy. It is abuse of power

Apparently the Minister only gets to decide if a petition is similar to an unsuccessful petition. The section about a petition conflicting with another active petition was removed.

Danielle Smith’s push to privatize health care in Alberta is a direct threat to public medicare across Canada.
I’ve written to the PM to demand enforcement of the federal Canada Health Act.
Public health care is not optional. It’s a right, and it must be defended.

Yet, DS blames AHS for missteps, as if it is a separate body. She always needs to blame someone else, since all she does is deflect, deny & avoid any accountability. Enough is enough! #ableg
Who knows how much govt has stolen from frontline hospital operations to run their new organizational bloat.
As for control of the system, the AG said it best in his report this week: “AHS does not function as an arms-length agency.”
Govt controls and OWNS it ALL.

Countries that use dual practice see longer public waits, more staff moving to private clinics, and higher costs for families. Italy. Portugal. Japan. Greece. The pattern is the same.

COVID is real and still with us. Avoid it at all costs.
Yup
It's exasperating to see so many people I know suffering from viruses, with both short and long term symptoms, within the context of knowing what they have been doing (travelling, big social gatherings, voting conservative) and what they have *not* been doing (wearing a mask, ever).

This is, by far, the best, most accurate and extremely well argued analysis of the power of Danielle Smith's communications style that I have read. This deserves to be widely distributed and as Markham notes, the Alberta NDP should take note.

So the Premier has finally stated her vision for AB: hand over our Social Safety Net to FOR-PROFITS, non-profits, and let Charity cover the leftovers.
Not a lot of profit in "Orphans and widows", so let's hope our religious charities really ramp up.

Not sure how many Albertans want this plan... but I don't recall the UCP campaigning on "Let's Make Charities Great Again"
Or stating they were going to privatize HC and Education to for-profits and abandon any govt social safety net...

#Canada. I’m from #Alberta. Trust me you do not want a so called leader who blames everyone else for everything. #UCP has this down pat. It does nothing for us constituents. It does nothing to move our world forward.
Siri, show me an example of weak & floundering. 😄😄
Seriously, Poilievre is as bad as Trump. He blames everyone else for his faults, mistakes & the consequences of his own, awful actions.
