This is astounding.
It shows Albertans paid double - sometimes triple! - for surgeries at private surgical facilities connected to friends of the UCP than through AHS.
And the Premier’s staff & Health Minister allegedly pressured & then fired the CEO of AHS when she asked questions about them.

Given what has been going on within the public health care system, especially the ongoing closures in rural Alberta, this data is horrifying.

Grateful to the hundreds of folks who gathered at the legislature today to say no to coal.
The UCP aren’t listening to Albertans. They’re listening to billionaire coal magnates.
Get loud and stay loud, Alberta.
For us and for future generations.

If anybody can make anything go viral today please let it be this. We can't stand as human beings for this. People like Danielle deserve no grace, after time and time again proving they are immoral. #cdnpoli

As Harvey Milk once famously said, “You have to give them hope.”
In times of despair, we must hold on to hope, optimism and the belief that a better and more just world is possible.

The UCP has removed the moratorium on new coal exploration and development in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
Albertans should be deeply concerned about the implications this will have on our water, our farmlands and our beautiful landscape.
