“ER staff spend most of their time on admitted patients instead of new emergencies. The result is six-12-hour ER waits and eight-20 per cent of urban patients leaving without ever being seen.”

The UCP’s excuses for using the notwithstanding clause — “because we can,” “because we have to,” and “because we say so” — do not meet Lougheed's standards.

The UCP's repeated use of the notwithstanding is fundamentally unconservative (and un-Albertan).

Caller - Healthcare is collapsing and privatization doesn't solve anything, what are you going to do?

Smith - Well, healthcare was struggling when there were experts involved, so we've gotten rid of them and feel pretty confident.

We all value ‘the rule of law’.

But whose law & rules? Corporations/Rich v Masses.

The law is being used to enforce existing power structures for the benefit of the few.

A few crumbs are thrown to pacify the masses but these are concessions and can be withdrawn.

See the linked article.

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

Socialism ensures that we care for other living things.

MAGA Republicanism is more like Communism, where the elite take all of the riches and enslave the poor to serve their needs.
