I wasn't the president of the Section of Emergency Medicine for the AMA during ANY of the TLP discussions, and I wasn't involved in the "consultation"!
My involvement? Publicly pointing out how inept and incompetent the UCP govt was on this time sensitive band-aid.

“The premier said Paul Parks, who was the AMA president of emergency medicine during negotiations, ‘derailed consultations.’ As soon as he left, we got a deal, said Smith on her radio show Saturday.”
So she lied again? Big surprise there!
"(This is) taking away my freedom… my ability to get around for basic necessities"
“I’m capable of driving myself if I have the ability to do so legally,” Jones said. “And I guess I just want my freedoms back or my ability to look after myself.”

Danielle Smith told Ezra Levant that she wants to recreate the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) - the brainchild of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, according to Lorne Gunter.

Good thing Smith listened to the people. 🙄 Albertans voted NO, yet she’s pressing ahead anyway. Explain again why taxpayers had to spend millions on a referendum if she was going to ignore the result? What a waste of public money.

Premier Smith's CoS is a hypocrite:
"This Big Brother knows best, we're going to tell you how you can develop your land, we're not going to leave it to local people that have an actual stake democratically…
It's a top-down, centralized, quasi-socialist system, and it's wrong"
A bit melodramatic Mr. Mayor.
The announcement yesterday specifically supported the steps that you and yyc council have taken to address this issue, while ensuring Edmonton begins taking a similar approach.
The fact is these municipal infill policies have greatly devalued hundreds of properties over the last several years without compensation to the home owner. That is a breach of property rights and every elected official should be supportive of adjusting the approach on this issue.
The UCP government will continue to stand up for regular homeowners and property rights.
Let's talk about what is actually CURRENTLY happening in AB for surgical care:
We are sending kids home with painful broken arms, to await surgery because we no longer have the staff to do it same day!
Elderly pts are waiting days in hospital, in pain, with a broken hip.

Mitch Sylvestre: "I went to the US...I actually met with the Premier that very day & told them that we were going there to talk..."
Premier's Office: "The Premier is not affiliated with these individuals' activities & has no knowledge of these alleged meetings." #ableg
With the latest provincial overreach, Danielle Smith is now ordering me how to vote at Calgary City Council. If I refuse, I risk losing my job. I want to work constructively with the province, even when we disagree. But we must be free to listen to residents and make fair decisions.

Take a read👇
I hope you'll catch the sarcasm and absurdism... I worry our Premier and Minister probably won't
Make no mistake though: this absurd logic is exactly what our govt is selling you
TRICKLE DOWN Health Care! (Help rich first = all benefit!)
Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients.
This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act.

@FreeAlbertaRob In the article, it is Dennis Modry who is conspiring to hand over land/oil/water to the US, not Jeffrey Rath.
And Modry is a friend of Danielle Smith.
A Michigan delegation travelled to Calgary to sell separatists on software developed for Republicans to get out the vote – and how it could be used to wrench Alberta from Confederation.
For David Parker, an organizer for Alberta separation, the software was the path to victory – one that ultimately resulted in a massive privacy breach involving the sensitive personal data of nearly three million Albertans.
But Parker’s embrace of the Michigan delegation is evidence of a pattern: separatist factions in Alberta eager to engage the U.S. in their plans for secession, and American actors willing to assist, either privately or openly.
Through interviews with The Globe on both sides of the border, people involved in politics, the corporate sector and Alberta’s pursuit of separatism have described persistent efforts by figures in the U.S. administration and conservative political establishment to support groups seeking American expansionism and independence for Alberta.

TC Energy looked at the UCP's projected data-centre demand and reportedly refused to build pipelines based on "speculative demand."
Danielle Smith looked at the same gamble and apparently asked: How much of the risk can we dump on Albertans? #abpoli

Can confirm.
Anaesthesia has been forced to work in PRIVATE public-funded CSFs and leave hospital ORs empty for last three yrs…
Now they’ll be forced AND CHOOSE to go make way more money in private clinics… and our govt isn’t even going to track this. (Only tracking surgeons)
