Peak arrogance.
A fully landlocked province making demands to move anything anywhere while simultaneously threatening to separate is peak stupidity.

As Parksy lays out, even if this were a good plan, it's extremely complicated to execute. I have zero trust a government who couldn't manage a Trylenol purchase properly or privatize blood work, is going to be able to continue to restructure AHS and introduce a new complicated billing model.

Two main arguments keep on surfacing when I raise concerns about Dual Billing and the fact that at this point it is nothing more than a govt edict with no plan/specifics whatsoever

You keep talking about HealthCare, Parksy.
I'll keep privatizing it so me, my UCP, and our wealthy friends like Sam Mraiche and MHCare can keep getting richer off Alberta taxpayers!

Hey Alberta, let's keep talking about HC in our province.
Let's get into what's really happening. No spewing of meaningless promises and ideology...
Let's talk about what is really happening in YOUR COMMUNITY.

Sixty children have died in the care of this government over the last year.
We cannot ignore the needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our community, and the UCP must do everything in their power to ensure these kids have the support they need.

We caught the UCP red-handed.
We asked Public Safety & Emergency Services for any correspondence between Min. Ellis & the Edmonton Police Commission.
They told us - twice - there was none.
We asked the Commission & got 130 pages including 5 letters signed by Ellis. #abpoli
