With covid numbers on the brink of going out of control again in #AB, I sincerely hope the gov’t is investing in long term mental health, grief, caregiving, and end of life care. This is just the tip of the iceberg. #ableg#abpoli#COVID19AB

Tonight, a patient was stabbed while waiting for care in the Royal Alex emergency waiting room. About 50 people witnessed the attack — from doctors to nurses to other patients. It was violent and terrifying.

I don't think it's fair to ask pilots and crew to fly to the United States when the most basic safety measures are not being taken at airports there to protect them.
LaGuardia had ONE air traffic controller on duty at the time of the Air Canada crash. That's ONE person in charge of the sky and ground traffic.
Those DOGE/Trump cuts so they can bomb Middle Eastern children and civilians are really working out 🤦♂️
Being short 3000 controllers and still letting planes go about normally is such a clear image of how casually these companies and organizations will risk people’s lives.
🚨BREAKING: Sean Duffy just addressed the deadly collision at LaGuardia Airport and denied the "rumor" that the FAA control team was understaffed.
But analyses of the released ATC audio paints a darker story:
The tower likely had fewer controllers on duty than they would have.
You can hear the controller wave the fire truck on and then desperately say, "Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop, Truck 1, stop. Stop, Truck 1, stop!" and later admit that he was distracted, "We were dealing with an emergency earlier. I messed up.”
The fire truck was responding to a United Airlines flight with a “odor” on board. According to the transcript, a man stated that flight attendants in the back of the plane were feeling ill due to the odor.
Aviation experts have warned that the FAA is dangerously understaffed - and Trump made it worse, firing hundreds of FAA employees and cutting parts of the system controllers rely on.
This is what happens when a strained system gets pushed past its limits by inept leadership.
