The campaign by Alberta’s #UCP to remake the province’s health-care system has created chaos.

But, according to a Tyee analysis, there has also been a steep financial cost. @charlesrusnell.bsky.social reports.

On a different note but on the topic of education-aversion, did anyone in the UCP ever explain exactly what was so “ideological” and deplorable about the #abed curriculum that they saw fit to toss the entire works out, destroying years of development, much under Conservative mandate?

Last fall, a new vetting process took effect for sex education resources and presenters in Alberta.

Teachers and sex education experts say what has been approved is limited and has significant gaps. And they’re worried about the effects for students of watered-down sex ed #AbEd #AbLeg
