From the DM’s…

Physicians at Grey Nuns are calling out the practice of limiting admissions (capping) as being a primary driver of the emergency room being overwhelmed to the point where

“standards for quality and safety… are not being met.”

Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

The Province quietly released their report on the results for testing for literacy and numeracy.

The results?

It's a waste of time and energy and takes away from teaching time.

As ER docs are calling for a state of emergency to be declared…

The dis-integration of Alberta’s healthcare to multiple “pillars” means there’s noone to steer the healthcare system as a whole to initiate that state of emergency.

Former AHS CEO speaks out!

Today on an Alberta podcast, former AHS CEO Athena Mentzelopoulos went right to the heart of the Wyant report, clearly spelling out how it doesn't exonerate Smith and the government.

At all.

So…

RSG says “Key discussions were held in April and May 2024 with Marshall Smith, Eric Engler, Evan Romanow” about the use of the Larga building for recovery…

Which Sam Mraiche then bought and leased back to the Metis nation, the two highest ranking members of which were in the skybox photo.

Suggesting lower taxes as a solution to unaffordability is misguided.

Lowering taxes puts the burden on government for affordability.

Increasing wages puts the burden on corporations, who are the ones who cause inflation in the first place when they increase their prices.

In the wake of even more harassment and stalking allegations in the "CorruptCare" Scandal, Smith was asked today if she would condemn harassment.

She would not.

So Danielle Smith wants to take over policing in Alberta because she needs the police to get to Albertans on time...

But she can't even manage making sure that POLICE get an AMBULANCE on time with the EMS service she already runs?!?

This is horrifying.
