Because the OR teams that do these will now be working in the private centers and not our hospitals.

Did we hear from GoA any attempt to monitor wt lists of these procedures and stop if they begin to increase?

Nope. Not a word. They will increase. GoA doesn’t care though. /10

It’s official. Two-tier health care is coming to Alberta, courtesy of the ideologues and con men in the UCP. Step one: break the public system by underfunding and understaffing it. Step two: create a parallel private system. Step three: say goodbye to quality public care.

An audit of the Alberta government would be welcome as well.

[Bruce McGonigal @bruce_mcgonigal]

Unelected First Nation Chiefs who demand co-governance with governments in Canada should face full disclosure audits of how they spend taxpayer money.

Why would anyone be against this?

[Tami we are in this together @dmand2008]

When Healthcare costs people their houses, and retirement. They'll be asking why didn't someone stop this?

[Naheed Nenshi @nenshi]

Alberta’s public health-care system is being steadily eroded by the UCP government as they barrel forward with their plans to introduce a two-tier, American-style, for-profit system here in our province. It’s not just wrong, it’s incompetent, because it will do nothing to improve services for Albertans.

Today, I sent a letter to Prime Minister Carney, calling on the Government of Canada to intervene under the Canada Health Act and protect public health care in Alberta.

Nixon show me you know nothing - maybe talk to your boss about tabulators being an efficient way to coint votes.

[David Shepherd @DShepYEG]

Well, he is also the Finance Minister that seems to thing giving Albertans $100 is enough to offset the cost of a years-long affordability crisis the UCP have ignored…

The UCP don’t seem to be good with math or money. #ableg

[Gerry Varty @gerryvarty]

We can't find $250 Thousand to fund the RAH Ortho Centre

We can't find money to fund Triage Docs or keep public Health Inspectors whole

We even feel a need to clawback $200 AISH from the disadvantaged...

But:

We can find $300 Million to buy loyalty with DaniBucks.

[Tami we are in this together @dmand2008]

The Alberta government has no idea. It's like they sit around a table, brainstorm ideas and then throw them at the public when they need a distraction. #TheyDontCareAboutYou

This is insanity... listen to the Minister's answers - she doesn't answer any of the questions.

Yes these docs will be able to give the SALES PITCH - "you can wait 18 months, or get your surgery done in a week if you pay 20k".

Every day, the questions facing Premier Danielle Smith become more difficult to answer.

Not because of her opponents. Not because of the media. Not because of Ottawa.

Because the questions are increasingly about her own decisions, her own judgment, and her own record.

A leader can survive a policy mistake. A government can survive a scandal. What becomes much harder to survive is the gradual loss of public trust.
Trust is not lost all at once. It begins with small doubts. Then more questions emerge. Then the explanations become less convincing. Eventually, every new controversy is viewed through the lens of all the ones that came before it.

History is filled with political leaders who discovered that public pressure rarely moves backward. It either subsides through accountability or it continues to build. What begins as a spark can become a fire that no communications strategy can extinguish.

Today, the Premier often responds by reaching for the microphone. But Albertans are no longer asking for more talking points. They are asking for answers.

The reality is that resignation remains the clearest path available to her. Not because it would erase responsibility for any past actions. It would not.

Accountability follows the facts wherever they lead.

But leadership also means recognizing when confidence has been lost.

From healthcare controversies to governance concerns, from institutional conflict to questions surrounding political conduct, the pattern is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. The issue is no longer a single decision. It is a growing perception that this government has become more focused on power and control than stewardship and accountability.

A leader who finds themselves continually fighting yesterday's controversies eventually runs out of room to govern tomorrow.

That is the position Danielle Smith now appears to be in.

Healthcare is a public service. It's success should be based on the people it serves and what it cost. This gov't has wasted so much money on consulting fees, severance pkgs, tearing it apart!

[Parksy @PfParks]

The doc uses a roadway analogy:
Picture govt only builds REALLY EXPENSIVE TOLL roads, and leaves just ONE public road… and also takes all the road repair and snow removal teams away from that public road…
Also if you don’t have a very fast car you can’t use the Toll roads ever.

5 Things Albertans need MORE than desperate ‘Dani Dollars’:

🧑‍⚕️ A family doctor: 700,000 are without

🏥 ER waits under a day

💻 MRI waits under a year

🧍‍♀️ Funded women’s shelters, disability supports & seniors’ benefits

💰 To not carry $109B in debt

Priorities matter

[Tami we are in this together @dmand2008]

Bruce is digging the hole deeper for Smith and the UCP. They have a legal right to ask for an investigation just like Smith is spending millions fighting Ottawa in the courts.

[Bruce McAllister @McAllisterBruce]

This is such a bad look for these Chiefs. People are sick and tired of hearing unrealistic demands from them. It might be tolerable if their communities were beacons of prosperity, safety, strong families and real accountability, but sadly, they’re anything but.
On too many Alberta First Nations, their own people face:
Devastating addiction & overdose crises tearing families apart
Kids removed into care at shocking rates
Entrenched poverty, high unemployment & welfare traps
Housing issues for their people.
Lagging education outcomes limiting the great promise of their youth
Elevated domestic violence and other family related troubles.
It is heartbreaking. And I truly mean that.
Shouldn’t the priority be fixing these failures for their people? I know we have a Premier and government that care deeply about these serious issues and want to help fix them. And how about addressing band governance and finances?!Why not more focus on partnering with Alberta on energy jobs, treatment programs, schools and housing? Not this childish nonsense.
The gall to call a sitting Premier treasonous - all because you disagree with a policy. And it’s a policy that gives a say to the people! It is the very thing they claim to stand for? Makes you wonder who these guys are taking their orders from. It surely isn’t their own people. I’ll probably take heat for saying these things but if we don’t, we continue to bury our heads in the sand and pretend they aren’t happening. Tough and respectful conversations can bring about change. That is my hope.

@Gerashchenko_en The difference between Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine attacks refineries while Russia kills civilians. Russia was and is the aggressor.

[Believe2024 @believe20252312]

@DaleNally_AB UCP made the program and does not follow the program. UCP has to go!

[MandelaMushroom 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 NEVER VOTE CONSERVATIVE @SpeakUp407]

@PfParks Alberta needs change. UCP and Danielle Smith have to be removed from power. Before it's too late.

Ouch… when i said I was wrong that it would be 70M and not the 50M I at first said… it appears I was wrong again!!

120-130M for non-binding questions NO ONE but the govt wants… abd that only the govt wrote and asked for!!!!

Bradley Cooper is starring in a major hollywood film about january 6th directed by Sean Penn. the officers who were beaten that day are going to have their stories told to millions of people. justice comes in many forms. this is one of them.

Do you agree with Bradley Cooper?

If I receive it, which I’m not 100% I will, it will go straight out as a donation.

If you can afford to do so, please consider donating it as well.

It takes a village. But we can do the right thing.

BEWARE THE BOONDOGGLE
Big Announcements. Heavy Risk. Zero Discipline.

Another $30 million has been announced for high-speed rail, yet the government still hasn't completed the feasibility study that should determine whether the project makes sense in the first place.

That's not planning.

That's politics driving priorities.

While Albertans worry about health care, education, affordability, and a $9.4 billion deficit, government continues chasing headlines and asking taxpayers to carry the risk.

Big announcements. Heavy risk. Little discipline.

I call it "High Risk, Low Return" governing.

Let’s bring sensibility back to government. Vote Tory.
