Let me be very clear: there are NO NEW Emerg docs to “recruit”. If govt can get their act together, the role would be existing EM docs doing extra shifts.

This is unacceptable. Nearly a month after promising "immediate" action, the UCP has delivered only silence. They are ghosting the AMA while preventable ER deaths continue. 📉 No meeting. No accountability. No response. 💔🩹 A heartless communications exercise.

Correct. And it’s a problem that you actively MADE WORSE by doubling down on oil and hamstringing renewables. Idiot.

The Alberta government has repeatedly insisted that its drug jails (“secure care” Compassionate Intervention facilities) will be only a measure of last resort.
But this finding suggests they have bigger plans — apparently, space for 300 adults won’t be enough.
