Rather than innovate, CPC wants to cut services, wages, benefits. This is not “modernization”, it's killing a public service to benefit private business. Care about universal access, good jobs, keeping public services public? Write your MP.

All the issues — inequality, supply, access, misinformation & disinfo, all rolled into the provincial government of #Alberta, that has a stranglehold on our health system, pulling it apart & selling it like a commodity.

Danielle Smith’s “hospital-based leadership” plan is a disaster in disguise 🚢💥. It’s centralized, rushed, and paves the way for privatization. No real reform. No public input. Just a Titanic headed straight for the iceberg. 🧊👎
#abhealth #abpoli #StopPrivatization #UCPfail #PublicHealthMatters
An infographic breaking down six critical concerns about Alberta’s so-called “Hospital-Based Leadership” plan. Each issue is presented in a numbered box with three sections: What they say, What they’re not saying, and Why it matters. Each box is headed by a yellow triangle warning symbol. Decentralized in Name What they say: Local hospitals will decide staffing & resources. What they’re not saying: All still report to central agencies. Why it matters: Local control doesn’t exist if HQ pulls the strings. No Proof of Public Support What they say: Albertans asked for this. What they’re not saying: No data or public input has been shown. Why it matters: “We heard you” isn’t consultation. Where’s Public Health? What they say: It will improve acute care. What they’re not saying: No mention of prevention or the ongoing staffing crisis. Why it matters: If we skip public health, hospitals will stay overwhelmed. Same Bureaucracy, New Labels What they say: Less red tape, more freedom. What they’re not saying: More layers and stricter oversight. Why it matters: Reshuffling isn’t reform — it’s branding. Privatization Pathway What they say: This is about care, not ideology. What they’re not saying: Laws now allow private hospital operators. Why it matters: These changes make privatization easier. Rushed Rollout, Few Details What they say: We must act fast. What they’re not saying: No full plan, one pilot site, total rollout by 2026. Why it matters: Speed + secrecy = costly mistakes. And Albertans will pay the price. Sources are cited at the bottom: Alberta Government announcement (June 17, 2025); Friends of Medicare (June 17, 2025); David Climenhaga commentary (June 18, 2025). The visual tone is informative, critical, and watchdog-oriented. A satirical digital image featuring Alberta Premier Danielle Smith standing in front of a massive ocean liner labeled “ALBERTA HEALTHCARE.” She poses with open arms, mimicking the famous Titanic scene. In the background, a large iceberg looms, marked with ominous text: “PRIVATIZATION · STAFF SHORTAGES · ER CLOSURES · OVERSIGHT” The top of the image includes the caption: “I’m proud to introduce our bold new model, of care…” The bottom reads: “ALBERTA HEALTHCARE: FULL SPEED AHEAD. INTO DISASTER.” The imagery critiques the Alberta government’s healthcare reform as reckless, ill-conceived, and headed for catastrophe. It visually likens the reform plan to the Titanic—grand in presentation but doomed by ignored warnings and fatal flaws. The iceberg represents predictable crises: underfunding, privatization, ER shutdowns, and systemic neglect.

This is what happens when you privatize government functions.

Private companies get cheap, careless and lazy. It usually doesn't even take that much time for bad things to happen.

This happens with space projects, prisons, and other farmed-out projects. It always happens.

Another sign from the May 10 #ABResistance rally at the Alberta Legislature.
Simple message, bright colours, and a clear line in the sand: public healthcare is not up for grabs.

A protester at the May 10th #ABResistance rally in Edmonton holds a large sign with two orange hand illustrations and bold, colourful text that reads: “HANDS OFF OUR HEALTHCARE.” The person wears sunglasses, a denim shirt, and a patterned headscarf. A second sign partially visible on the ground references Bill 55. #Yeg #Edmonton #ABLeg #HandsOffOurHealthcare #StopPrivatization

One important matter to be considered is how the main entry and exit points in the country’s central economic hub are under the control of only one oligarch.

Set priorities, provide appropriate funding levels, and then share transparent outcome metrics to ensure accountability.

Instead govt lurches from back room deal to back room deal, disintegrates the system, and adds artificial and arbitrary "competition"
