I’m thrilled to be stepping into a new role on the Leader’s Senior Advisory Team as the Chair of the Future of Health Care.
I’ll be working with healthcare professionals, frontline workers, academics, and everyday Albertans over the next three years to create solutions and strategies to repair the problems we face in our healthcare system.
I’ve spent my life creating evidence-based solutions to problems in our healthcare system, and I’m looking forward to taking on this role.
Vance’s lies about Haitian immigrants abducting pets and wildlife, spreading STIs, and killing children do not just demean Haitian immigrants. These racist ideas demean Black immigrants *and* Black Americans.
Racist ideas are like a contagion. They don’t just latch onto the target. They spread and latch onto everyone associated racially with the target. Racist ideas of Haitian immigrants as dangerous reinforce racist ideas about Black Americans as dangerous. Racist ideas about Black Americans as dangerous incite the everyday police brutality of Black Americans.
There is this inherent belief on the right that healthcare can be run like a business. This is the false foundation that drives privatization. Profit drives expense, and fear dehumanizes its professionals, Private endeavours all drain the public purse when they fail to deliver.
Free speech seems to be constantly under attack in this country.
As Premier, I will continue to fight for free speech here in Alberta, including for the right for people like Dr. @jordanbpeterson to say what is on their mind.

How many days has it been since the #UCP promised to fix healthcare?
"Competition and fear" is not the answer.
Albertans will continue to suffer. Doctors will continue to choose to work elsewhere. Healthcare will continue to crumble. #ableg#abHealth
Health resource distribution is a powerful tool. When used well it is a foundation for civil society. When wielded for political power it can subjugate women and enslave minorities and control the poor while transferring wealth to billionaires. This government is inhumane.
She will attempt to distract you by manufacturing nonissues. Meanwhile, your children will lack educational and mental health supports, your parents will have no pension, the air you breath will be full of carcinogens, and when we succumb we will have to pay for our healthcare.

Not sure who needs to hear this today, but:
Political parties can be dangerous to democracy. It's not undemocratic to call them out on it. In fact, it's an obligation.
Calling them authoritarian does not incite violence.
The destruction of legal aid fits a clear pattern: the UCP government is unable to prioritize or negotiate basic agreements that hold our health, social services, and (now) justice systems together.
I dont think it's calculated. Rather, Hanlon's Razor applies:
For the past four years it’s been my job - nay, my PLEASURE - to be the tweeter behind the @OKWildlifeDept account. This is my final post.
It’s been my absolute honor to roast and ratio some of you into the ground in the name of science. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: 🧵
Danielle Smith’s does not care about you. Any Albertan with a family income under $90,000 and no other dental coverage will have access to the federal dental plan. That is a lot of people that this government does not care about just so Danielle Smith can fight with Ottawa. When will she start thinking about Albertans first?
