The Caritas Hospitals are already extremely short staffed and limiting the number of patients they can admit. And why would the Gov only support Caritas Hospitals? #abhealth

We will never forget Dear 77,301,997 Americans who voted for Trump Being Canadian has never been about shouting the loudest. We don’t pound our chests or demand attention. We are sometimes like the quiet kid on the playground, just wanting to get along with others. We hold doors, say sorry even when it’s not our fault & shovel our neighbour’s driveway just because it’s the right thing to do. We believe in fairness, decency & looking out for one another We are the world’s greatest neighbour&yes, our spelling is the correct one. We show up. In the words of our PM on Sat night, “from the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of the Korean Peninsula, from the fields of Flanders to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought&died alongside you during your darkest hours. During the summer of 2005, when Hurricane Katrina ravaged your great city of New Orleans, or mere weeks ago, when we sent water bombers to tackle the wildfires in California&during the day the world stood still — Sept. 11, 2001 — when we provided refuge to stranded passengers and planes, we were always there, standing with you”. And yet, here we are – watching your president, a man who built his legacy on bullying, turn his sights on us. He mocks us, belittles us&treats us like some inconvenience rather than the ally who has stood by you through thick and thin It’s easy to mistake our politeness for passivity, or our kindness for weakness. But here’s the thing about the quiet kid on the playground: push that kid far enough, and that kid pushes back Canada has never needed to boast about its strength. We just prove it. On battlefields. In boardrooms. On the ice. So, if you think you can push us around and take us for granted – think again. You think we will become your “cherished 51st state” – think again. Underestimate us… that will be fun. Because the quiet kid? The quiet kid remembers. And when the quiet kid finally stands up, the whole playground takes notice Now we are pissed Sincerely, Canada

MLA Sinclair kicked out of UCP caucus for speaking the truth: govt is neglecting northern HC Access.
Take a look at why ABs living anywhere in AB, (esp north of RED DEER) are at risk 🧵 :
EDM Zone cares for far far more SICK ALBERTANS from out of zone

Nearly every medicine we benefit from started with NIH-funded research. Early discovery work starts in academia.

Immunotherapies?
Gene therapy for rare diseases?
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s medicines?
Vaccines?
Novel cancer treatments?
Psychiatric medicines?

You betcha.

At Public Town Hall with Alberta Health Minister, she is insisting that doctors have been heavily consulted for changes Gov has made with respect to restructuring. Not according to the AMA who says that they have not been consulted. #abhealth @jmeddings.bsky.social @pfparks.bsky.social

Q: Why should Albertans have to pay for private health care in Alberta when we have public health care that everyone pays taxes for?

“What I really need to ask for are changes that move the stress of keeping rural services open off of the people working in hospitals and back onto the politicians and civil servants responsible for the health-care system.”

Dr. Sarah Giles wants you to know she's sorry that patients are suffering because of staffing shortages in health care. But she's learned that working longer hours won't solve the problem. In fact, it could have led her to leave the profession altogether.
