A 🧵 1) This morning a long time friend and paramedic went into cardiac arrest while at Airdrie UCC. UCC calls 911 for EMS support for these events. #ableg#abhealth#ahs#ems#ahsems
It took these Conservatives - working together for their own cynical, self-interested political ends - approx 2 months to collapse Alberta’s $25 billion public health care system, one of the finest in the world. Imagine what will happen if O’Toole has real power. #cdnpoli#ableg
A reporter just told @shandro that Albertans are dying.
@shandro's response? "That's good feedback."
This is not a homework assignment.
This is people's lives.
They just don't get it.

It 11pm on a Friday night and there’s a knock at the door. I check the camera and my mouth goes dry. I start racking my brain trying to remember who is out for the night.
“Are you Dr Markland?”
Oh no.
“We are sorry”
No. no.
“You’re the subject of a death threat”
Strange Relief.
Just received notice that AHS will be using the emergency provisions of the collective agreements, at ICUs, Emergs and other units including redeployments, mandating overtime and cancelling vacations. Best Summer Ever. Thank you UCP. Thank you Dr. Hinshaw.
@AHS_media “Taking vacation” sure is an interesting way to phrase “tired of being villainized and gaslit, having pay cut, and being fired so now HCWs are leaving Alberta in droves.”
Random question…
Was it The company that Jack Mintz was with that was doing rapid testing at Nashville North?
Anyone know where those tests were bought from?
That would be super legit though, right?
Not at all a shady…

Harassing public sector workers for being paid to do important work really gets to me, so I made a few graphs this morning. Here are some findings from the May 2021 Labour Force Survey that examine mean hourly wages across provinces, specifically for nurses. #ABleg#ABhealth
