[Taking Alberta Forward, We Stand With #Canada! @sytsema_andy]

The Premier of Alberta wanted a more efficient health system.

Instead, we got this. One system → Four separate pillars 4 → Ministers + 4 Deputy Ministers + 4 Boards + 4 CEOs + layers of ministry staff.

All to serve the same Albertans whose integrated health system (AHS) was once recognised among the top five in the world. (2018)

When does more bureaucracy, cronyism, and fragmented care actually deliver better care? I'll wait!

[Parksy @PfParks]

This will happen to almost ALL of our sub-specialists in Alberta!
Govt will open the floodgates to unfettered private care delivery, they’ll move to MUCH higher paying low acuity community care
Then govt will scratch its head and blame doctors when govt can’t staff hospitals

[Sharon McLean @sheshem]

The UCP is handing nearly $100 million of Alberta taxpayers’ money to foreign multinational contractors — Australian and British-owned companies — to run our new disability employment system (ADAP).
Instead of supporting Alberta-based businesses and organizations that actually understand our communities and employ local people, they’re outsourcing to overseas for-profit firms.
This money should have stayed in Alberta. It should have gone to homegrown companies and non-profits that keep dollars circulating in our province and deliver services designed for Albertans.
Prioritizing foreign contractors over local talent isn’t supporting vulnerable people or building a stronger Alberta economy.

Alberta car insurance prices, highest in Canada, growing faster than anywhere in Canada.
Thanks Dani
Thanks UCP.

During the election, Premier Smith was asked if "Albertans can trust what you say" in regards to her "Public Health Care Guarantee"

She assured listeners that "We will not be asking people to pay out of pocket for surgical services"

Danielle Smith's words are worthless

[Parksy @PfParks]

This didn't age so well:
"Under no circumstance, will any Albertan ever have to pay out of pocket for access to... to get the medical treatment they need."

Except for surgery... (for now).

You see Premier, govt sanctioned pay to jump the queue is a "circumstance"

[disordered @disorderedyyc]

"Your understanding of the word guarantee is very different than that of most Albertans"

"Most people are deeply deeply troubled at the prospect of you reforming Health Care based on your 15 year record of advocating to make people pay out of pocket"

@RachelNotley called it.

Premier Smith in 2024:
"It's a violation of the Canada Health Act, it is something I ran on, I said we would not do it"

"…after all the years they paid taxes, that they also have to then pay for their urgent & necessary medical care. That's just not fair, it's just not right"

[Katy E 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @MargTokar]

Had @ABDanielleSmith @UCPCaucus told the truth…THEY WOULD HAVE LOST THE ELECTION.

They have no mandate for this.
CALL AN ELECTION NOW.

[Friends of Medicare @FriendsMedicare]

Bill 11 regulations were announced today &...

“This government is dismantling [public health care] bit by bit to make it easier for private health care companies, shareholders & insurance industry to profit off of the growing care needs of Albertans”

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

The White House was built to serve the American people.

Tonight it was used to promote a company the President owns stock in, sell subscriptions, promote corporate sponsors, push Trump crypto, and enrich the President and his family.

The founders warned us about kings enriching themselves from public office.

They did not fight a revolution for this.

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

This separatist referendum runs a very real risk of foreign interference. We now know that Albertans’ personal information has been exposed to American actors, and the separatists have been looking for support and money from the Trump administration.

Premier Danielle Smith has done nothing.

That’s why I have written to CSIS asking for transparency, regular updates, and a clear assessment of the dangers we face.

Danielle Smith doesn’t care about protecting you. Alberta’s New Democrats do.

@biggibeliever @CTVNews Bullshit!
Getting federal funding doesn't sway content! Postmedia bias is obvious and gets federal funding as well.
