I am a physician and I will not work in a privately funded healthcare system 🩺

My medical training was supported by Canadians to provide universal healthcare to Canadians and that is what I will fight to keep doing 🇨🇦

If Danielle Smith wants Albertans to pay to see a doctor, she should call the election.

Albertans have had enough of the UCP, and they want change. Alberta's New Democrats are ready.

From the DM’s…

If there was any doubt left that Smith’s anti-trans policies were anything more than craven politics…

If this is accurate it means she’s delayed robbing charter rights to try and distract from another massive financial scandal.

He corrected the reporter without calling names, saying fake news or calling the media biased.
This is a true world leader in the media. So unlike the Maple Maga opposition leader.

Alberta government is embracing a MAGA-style agenda, the unions said, by doing things like moving public funds to private schools, under-staffing the health-care system and threatening retirement security by exploring pulling out of the Canada Pension Plan.
