The suspension of obstetrical services in Cold Lake is unacceptable. Families in Cold Lake and across Alberta deserve access to safe, reliable care close to home, not months of uncertainty.

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.
Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.
Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.
Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Alberta, watch what America is doing right now - with their refusal to support funding of the Affordable Care Act.
If Danielle Smith has her way with the medical system, we, too, will be facing $1000s in monthly premiums just to visit doctors.
She wants it that way.

Now that I saw the UCP AGM agenda about no more mRNA vaccines item I encourage more people to sign this. There are now over 10,231 who have signed and that means #DanielleSmith 's inbox is exploding. Great work everyone. #AxeTheVaxTax #ABpoli #ABleg

Axe the Vax Tax: Health Shouldn’t Come With a Price Tag
Charging for vaccines means fewer people get protected. Families living paycheck to paycheck will skip vaccines. Workers will get sick, especially health care and education workers.

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya.

I promised this would improve healthcare and reduce wait times while keeping it at arms length from the gov't.
