Further to this, I’ve posted about the crisis in oncology in Alberta in recent days and weeks.
It has also become routine for us to wait more than 1-2 weeks for a radiology scan to be reported. This delays care and creates frustration for all.

I could never have imagined a time where people would be so freaked out by respiratory protection 😂.

Imagine people angered by hard hats, irate at steel toecap boots, irked by ear defenders, infuriated by gloves, enraged at goggles or incensed by overalls.

Strange times 😷 ���

🔥 In 2016, as Fort McMurray faced evacuation, Rachel Notley took action and stood with first responders

🍺 In 2024, as Fort McMurray faced evacuation, Danielle Smith took a flight to Vancouver and stood in line for $15 beer

Leadership matters
Smith has none.

The mayor of a northeast British Columbia town says a tree blown down by strong winds fell onto a power line and started the fast-growing wildfire that forced the evacuation of thousands in Fort Nelson, B.C. https://t.co/Op4MGzGevM

This is NOT okay, not for Trudeau, not for Poilievre, not for Singh. I remember Sarah Palin targeting Gabby Gifford with the crosshairs analogy, a few days later Gabby got a bullet in her brain. Watching her and her husband Mark Kelly deal with this tragedy was heartbreaking

If public health and the health of the people of British Columbia mattered you would have resigned long ago. Your incompetence is astounding, your statements elicit nothing but eye rolls. Resign and take Bonnie Henry with you.

Reflecting on this past Public Health Week, I think of each and everyone of the public-health professional in #BC who works tirelessly to support people and communities in achieving their best health & well-being. They remind us that Public Health Matters. https://t.co/4bVOmhn9hD

Once again the anti-vaxxers are upset that data show they are wrong.

The latest is a report from Oregon showing that COVID-19 vaccines do not cause sudden cardiac deaths in young people.

I've asked Provincial Health Service Authority (PHSA), which runs BC Cancer, for scientific & ethical rationale for dropping masks.

You can submit questions for the Apr 18 Board meeting, too, until 4:30 PM Apr 16. Email Qs to: [email protected]

So in summary the ER safety net is being asked to do more and more. Without sufficiently increasing our resources to do it. It is simply NOT sustainable. We area already seeing ER in BC closing per CTV's @PennyDaflos https://t.co/VRpHnsvf0R

Folks, we launched a digital map today where you can click a thing and a software thing pops up and tells you we’re getting it done. But you know what really soggys my waffles? When kids from other provinces come to our universities and bring their non-Ontario thoughts and stuff.
