The NDP are calling for Dale Nally to be fired as "Minister of Screwing Up Drivers Licenses" or whatever his official title is...

Mark Carney is Strategic genius 👏

🇺🇸President Trump: "Canadians need us. We don’t need them."

🇨🇦PM Mark Carney: "Who told you that? We are permanently moving away from the United States." 🔥🔥👏

"I announced today that we will conduct $1,000 billion worth of business with other markets, not the US. Do whatever you want." 🔥🔥

Mark Carney's spine is so strong that it refuses to bow down. Massive Respect 🫡

@PfParks "dual practice model" is a greasy way to say "two-tiered system".

[Parksy @PfParks]

Premier is essentially saying: I will ensure to at least maintain the terrible cancer wait times while my rich donors get to jump the queue for joint and eye surgery!

Make this make sense?!

Who wants a promise to keep things bad for cancer and life-threatening cases?

[Parksy @PfParks]

if this "experiment" will decrease the public queue, why wouldn't cancer patients be the first cases to allow queue-jumping in? start w the cases that will kill you?

there is NO logic here...

these pts are ALREADY dying due to lack of nursing and anesthesia resources...

Thanks Premier Kenney. I am impressed by your unwavering patriotism and collaboration with Premier Notley. Allow me to correct you on some much-debunked fallacies. 👇👇👇

1) You can't queue jump to see me if you're wealthy. That's essentially what Alberta Conservatives have enacted. If you're homeless, intoxicated and with unstable vital signs I attend to you before a housed patient, with stable vitals and abdominal pain. That's the Canadian way. We put acuity and medical need over ability to pay. That's what we consider fair. That's what most Canadians want. That's the opposite direction of the Smith Conservative government.

Would you tell a farm hand they are less important than an oil executive, Premier Kenney?

2) Profiteering is different than profit.

I apologize for nothing that I work and I profit.

Profiteering is taking undue advantage of people in need, and gouging them for additional fees. That's not what I do. You can't bribe me $500 extra in the ER to be seen faster when the waiting room is packed. That would be unprofessional, immoral and stupid. That's what the Smith Conservative government is doing.

3) Queue-jumping solves zero. Doctors are a fixed resource in Canada, as you know Premier. If you pull us doctors out of the public system for people willing to slip in extra money, you reduce the capability of the public system. That's not how I operate but that's what Alberta Conservatives are doing.

You're right that profit (also called a job) is fine. You do it, I do it, anyone with a mortgage or pays rent does it.

The difference is profiteering, queue-jumping and prioritizing those who can essentially bribe the doctors. I would hope you would agree those are fundamentally un-Canadian values.

Let me explain a medical corporation to you. It's legal. It was put in place by your Conservative Premier colleague Mike Harris in 2000. The government put this in place in lieu of increasing physician compensation. It violates no Canadian or provincial laws. Most doctors in Ontario do it. It defers taxes to when you are earning nothing. I'm not apologizing for it because it's how most Ontario doctors are compensated for their services.

Unlike you Premier Kenney, I'm not getting a federal government generous pension when I grow old. My savings are all I have for my family and I. A medical corporation doesn't violate in any way the Canada Health Act which is what the Alberta Conservative government is doing.

Let's now shift to Europe which I'm glad you raised. I agree with you, let's be more like Europe. Europe invests far, far more than we do in publicly funded healthcare and related social services. That's why multi-payer systems there is fine. Because they take care of the basics first, better than us. You negate to mention this crucial difference. I'm not against white-glove profiteering healthcare if we take care of the basics first.

I hope this clears this up. There's no hypocrisy. It's one thing to attend to patients based on need, not gouge them at their time of need, not pick favourites based on essentially a bribe, knee-cap the publicly funded system and bill the government for services rendered through a law-abiding corporation.

I'm ashamed of nothing Premier Kenney. Alberta Conservatives, on the other hand, have enacted policies that are frankly disgraceful to the average Albertan who make about $52,000/year after taxes. @jkenney

We do not want you. We do not want your agenda. And we are voting NO to the nine. Alberta belongs to ALL Albertans. #NoToToTheNine #ableg

It wasn’t a “glitch”.

It was a decision.

The question is, who made that decision and who knew about it?

The most accurate description of @ABDanielleSmith I have have ever read.
Thank you sir.

[Right Wing, Shoots Left 🇨🇦🏒🥅 @HILITINGHOCKEY]

The people voting in Canada's byelections took one look at Danielle Smith and all the shit she's caused and said, "Fuck that."

Danielle Smith had a lot to do with today's results.

"Non-starter for Albertans" she actually said that after stuffing a $250M referendum down our throats. She's got the moral constitution of a female hyena.

Treasonous wingnut.

.@ABDanielleSmith Let’s set the record straight.

Premier’s social media accounts aren’t managed by public servants. They are managed by her own political staff in the Premier’s Office.

Blaming public servants for canceling First Nations is dishonorable and it’s another lie.

[Alberta NDP @albertaNDP]

Back to school, and back to more of Danielle Smith and the UCP doing a whole lot of talking and not a lot of delivering when it comes to quality public education for Albertans.

Danielle Smith went on Fox Business news and said Canadians are confused and upset because Trump is attacking us. Did she miss the part where we are also Upset and confused as to why she is over there trying to sabotage our country and kiss up to Trump?

[Nan Douglas @nandouglas]

So Danielle Smith’s campaign manager was hired by Chris Barber for media work in support of the Ottawa convoy, the siege to take over the Government of Canada.

[Alberta NDP @albertaNDP]

BREAKING: After nearly half a century, Danielle Smith and the UCP have dismantled universal public health care in Alberta.

Bill 11 comes into effect today, ushering in American-style, two-tier health care where those who can afford to pay can jump the queue while everyone else waits even longer.

Welcome to Danielle Smith’s Alberta.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

.@ABDanielleSmith No, maybe separatists in your social circle are “confused and disappointed”, but real Canadians are furious and united to stand ground against any attempt to undermine Canada’s sovereignty.
