#Ableg Fact;

In 2008, the gov’t spent $80,000,000 creating AHS

Today, Smith will spend $114,365,000 destroying AHS

This money COULD go to:

👩‍⚕️ 337 Doctors
👨‍⚕️ 1,304 Nurses
🧑‍⚕️ 1,845 Mental Health Workers
💻 154 MRIs
🩻 58 CT systems

We get NOTHING but UCP chaos instead. 😡

#VoteNDP is already trending across Canada.

Let's keep it that way all day long.

Let's make sure people get out and vote!

Today, we released our fully costed plan to build a better future for Albertans, with a $3.3 billion surplus over the next three years.

We're investing in:
➡️ health care
➡️ public education
➡️ small businesses
➡️ Alberta families

...and our plan is fiscally sound.

Danielle Smith is planning the largest tax increase in Alberta history: Making you pay to see a family doctor.

NO! The healthcare system doesn't need more pseudoscience.

NO! Naturopathy will not alleviate system concerns.

Naturopathy is built on magical thinking. Most of their practices (e.g., homeopathy, IV vitamin therapy, detoxes, etc) NOT supported by science.

Disappointing to see @TheHillTimes print this noise. ht @HealthLawAdamH cc @DrJenGunter @picardonhealth @UbakaOgbogu

@tarun_chopra29 @SawyerMerritt @Tesla Different models just decreased (3 and Y.). But it was only Mar 6 they last cut pricing on these models (S and X.) So they are sitting at an in between price now looking back prior to the Mar 6 change.

[Sean Ouimet @SkepticSean]

@teslarific @SawyerMerritt @Tesla Only some of the provinces have incentives. The most populous (Ontario) and 4th-6th most populous (the three Prairie provinces) do not – so roughly 60% of the population without.

For Alberta Views, @charlesrusnell and I interviewed 20 frontline EMS staff about the state of the system.

We heard about staggering call volumes, never-ending “red alerts," and patients languishing as paramedics struggle to respond. 1/ #ableg #cdnhealth

This exciting announcement landed just after my 9th anniversary at @GetJobber. While we've made great progress towards our mission of "helping people in small businesses be successful" ... in so many ways it still feels like we're just getting started! 🙌

[Jobber @GetJobber]

We’re excited to announce that we’ve raised $100M USD in growth funding led by @generalatlantic, with renewed support from @SummitPartners, @VersionOneVC, and Tech Pioneers Fund!

Here’s Tyler Shandro confirming that after a performative debate in the legislature on a resolution to fight back against the feds, Ministers will have full authority to change laws however they see fit.

With no oversight.

(And watch Smiths expression)

.@BMO this Reddit ad is in *very* poor taste given that Russia has co-opted “Z” as a symbol of their current invasion. I suspect/hope the ad copy predates the war but either way ask you retire this title. 🇺🇦💙💛

NEW: Leduc fire chief George Clancy has resigned.

Yesterday, @charlesrusnell and I approached Clancy and the city re: the chief’s behaviour during an investigation into alleged sexual harassment and bullying of women firefighters. (Thread)

Canada will provide fast-tracked, 2-year visas for Ukrainians fleeing Russian aggression. Immigration Minister Sean Fraser says applications should only take weeks to process. Ottawa also plans to expedite permanent residency applications for Ukrainians with family in Canada.

[Ryan Jespersen @ryanjespersen]

Jason Kenney has dragged the reputation, decorum, and integrity of the Premier’s office so far into the 💩, classless posts like this seem almost normal. This is not normal. This is unacceptable. Alberta deserves better than @jkenney. #ableg #cdnpoli

Health Minister Jason Copping is poised to order Alberta Health Services to scrap its COVID-19 staff vaccination mandate, a draft doc shows.

Govt previously ordered it to soften the policy, allowing frequent testing for unvaxxed workers.

Iceland held a funeral to mourn its first glacier lost to #climatechange.
