"She's heard"?? Please, Minister. You either have the data or you don't.
We've heard the opposite: That two tier health care is driving Drs & HCWs out of Alberta. That's significant, & shouldn't be left to hearsay.
For the record, AB has 244 Drs/100,000 people, Sweden has 420.
"(We) deserve consistency, honesty and fair treatment around these petition and direct democracy issues that the Premier has professed to believe in so strongly, so many times."
Corb Lund calls on Premier Smith to put his question on the referendum ballot, saying she's used her power to put other questions up.
He adds he met with her in May, and she never mentioned any deadline, and that her decision represents an about face.
Alberta: "Have a drink at 6 a.m."
Also Alberta: "We're closing the sites that reverse overdoses and keep people alive."
You couldn't write a more backwards drug policy if you tried

An example of the importance of @GovCanHealth and why staff should not be cut. Health Canada and its diligent staff are the only oversight body/regulator guarding Canadian’s health safety on many fronts. #cdnpoli
So even if Smith doesn't spin the question the way she did with the separatist question...
Albertans are looking at least 2 more years before they're able to vote on the Water Not Coal question.
And at most?
4 years.
Because Smith believes in democracy.

He might want to go walk around some of the areas around the Chumir after he closes the SCS… then he’ll get a chance to see what it really looks like when someone actually dies of an overdose.
(Also less EMS (or whatevs govt will call them) available as calls for ODs go up)
Update on roof damage in UAH ED now permanent "temporary" EMS offload area:
12 pt's jammed down other non-private undignified hallways... HCWs keep using the words "inhumane".
Fire Chief should go take a visit to the ED - many fire codes likely violated.
Not a peep from govt.
It’s again that time where Rick is directly affected by the UCP’s decision to go to war with physicians & then disintegrate the healthcare system.
So he shares his story.
His story is a harsh reality, but it’s the symptom.
It would be nice if Rick addressed the cause.
Govt can't even create reasonable guardrails to protect the public wait times now!
What magical guardrails will they come up in fall that will fix a 31 month wait time for an MRI for this lady (and THOUSANDS of other ABs)?!!

@Vitormarciano@CUYM_Alberta Thanks but please tell us more @Vitormarciano. Is this your personal analysis? Is your statement perhaps a legal opinion from within Energy and Minerals or the Regulator?
Please help us as to why one should question the analysis of a respected law professor emeritus?
"This is a giant step backwards for the AER that will simply reinforce the impression of many Albertans that the AER is too beholden to industry in its decision-making."

While we’re focused on a handshake, Danielle Smith is secretly giving away $20,000,000,000 in taxpayer money for O&G companies to “incentivize” them to “clean up” their well sites
This is one of the BIGGEST scams in Alberta’s history

"It is obvious that the intent is to privatize water in Ontario, and this, as we know from countless international examples, is a disaster in the making."
Avi Lewis responds to the Ford government’s move to strip municipalities of control over water infrastructure, handing it to newly created water corporations.
The Province just imposed the biggest property tax increase in Calgary history, and it shows up on your City tax bill.
Calgary's increase: 1.2%.
Province's increase: 21% this year, nearly 60% in four years. And another big hike is coming next year.
It's time for the provincial government to send their own tax bill.
