Let me be very clear: there are NO NEW Emerg docs to “recruit”. If govt can get their act together, the role would be existing EM docs doing extra shifts.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Premier Danielle Smith’s UCP motto is “corporatize profits, socialize losses”.
For every critical public service, like HC & educ, UCP’s 2nd motto is “Defund, Criticize,Privatize”.
UCP corruption is playing out in real time with UCP & pals filling their pockets with taxpayer💲.

Can confirm this is happening in AB, and getting worse.
Some sites have > 1/4 leaving the ED without being seen... and we have good data that show some of them are really sick and/or have NO OTHER care options.
This will get worse this fall and winter AB🧵

Opinion: What's next in for-profit care in Alberta? Your local hospital?
25 years after Klein passed Bill 11, that opened the door to more private for-profit involvement in health care, the UCP is at it again.

In 2019, the last time Alberta was awash in separatist nonsense, CBC Calgary commissioned me to write this essay. I re-read it today - and it seems to me as true as ever. And I thought this weekend might be a good time to share it with you, my new Bluesky friends. #Alberta #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

Fellow Canadians,
There is no real appetite for separation in Alberta outside of a small percentage of right-wing crybabies who can’t stand the fact that their ideas remain unpopular. The only value in this op-ed is they are finally saying the quiet part out loud. They hate Canada. #ElbowsUp

What are we doing here Alberta?
We already barely have any food left in our EDs for those in need - EDs left with some toast and juice at the best of times
Where's the "care" in Health Care in AB?
What's next? Save on electrical bills and turn off the blanket warmers?

I’m no expert but…
Seems to me any time a government with profoundly vested interests and a history of blatant dishonesty says they want to be the sole arbiter of the truth…
That’s a lot of cause for concern.
