Reason #9985482 why private profits have NO place in our public health care!
And the scoops just keep coming. Last week, it was a worrying conflict of interest... this week it's TWO worrying conflicts of interest. Read what FOM had to say last Wednesday: www.friendsofmedicare.org/albertans_de...
When a high school kid tried to raise concerns about the teachers strike, Bruce McAllister cut the kids mic and then suggested his parents should have beaten him more.
calgaryherald.com/news/crime/s... "I couldn’t believe what I was reading,” the Toronto-based lawyer said. “You know, having this many (rape) myths, having a judge of an appellate court say there is no crime of sexual violence, I mean that goes against like 50 years of jurisprudence.”
calgaryherald.com/news/politic... “People who go through the process and are denied a benefit and they appeal the process, when the panel hears the arguments as to why they should get benefits, and the panel feels that the IQ score is inadequate — they can’t do anything with that decision,” he said.
calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... "We regulate alcohol’s harms. For criminalized drugs, we push people into alleys, stairwells & train platforms. The toll is higher, & the logic deadlier. Closing Calgary’s Sheldon Chumir supervised consumption site w/out alternatives will increase public drug use."
“I want our province and everyone in it to be aware that this is important, and this matters,” Clark said. “Part of what’s great about being Canadian is public education, and a well-funded education system is good for everyone.”
calgaryherald.com/news/parents... Cynthia Clark, a concerned parent whose daughter attends a CBE high school, took part in the PIA demonstration. “Alberta has been a conservative province for generations, that strongly supports a well-funded public education system." @pialberta.bsky.social #ABed
“Judge Wyant is wrapping up interviews & his interim report is expected in the coming days.” Sounds an awful lot like trump’s vague promises of “in a couple weeks” (and then we never see it ...)
The interim report on AB's health care corruption allegations is due today. But even after a months-long delay, Albertans still haven't seen any new info from this government.
We need a fully empowered & independent public inquiry now.
“Anything short of a full public inquiry into the CorruptCare scandal is an insult to every single Albertan who depends on our healthcare system.” #CorruptCare #ableg #abhealth
“It is increasingly clear that this government is not serious about transparency or accountability by how they continue to try to sweep this scandal under the rug”: FOM's Chris Gallaway
This is our health care & our public funding we're talking about—Albertans deserve an independent public inquiry!
SCOOP: A consultant advising Alberta Health Services on private surgical facilities simultaneously negotiated with AHS on behalf of a company vying to open such a clinic, according to a confidential report obtained by The Globe.
This is extremely disgusting. Politicians with no medical background should not comment on matters of medicine. She has no understanding of what she is saying. It is evident that she has a prepared answer and is deliberately misleading her audience to placate her base. #ABleg#Abpoli#Cdnpoli#APP
