This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

My dad, 85 years old, suffering from the effects of a 2 year struggle with cancer, and chief of surgery at the Chinook Regional Hospital for decades, was moved from an already overcrowded space to an “overcapacity room” while he recovers from a stomach bleed and pneumonia. This is the room. 🧵🧵🧵

The UCP didn't have to use the notwithstanding clause. They wanted to, in order to avoid an arbitration process they knew they'd lose.

This is the sort of thing that in any normal province would sink a government. The Sky Palace pales in comparison.
It's such overt corruption, but they're doing everything they can to change the rules so it's not illegal.

NEW: This week on 'Whatever This Is' we explain why Danielle Smith’s pipeline hype hides something worse. Bill 11. A plan that lets doctors work public and private at the same time. Rich Albertans get a private pipeline of care. The rest of us wait longer and pay more.

I know the UCP line is “healthcare like Europe” but these people don’t have a collectivist bone in their bodies. In the European countries they’re nodding to, taxes support a well-funded public system alongside a well-regulated private one. The UCP won’t do that.
