From the DM’s…

Healthcare in Alberta has apparently been so badly broken by the UCP that patients with deadly cancer aren’t able to get time critical surgery…

And are evidently put in hotel rooms for lack of space.

Even though we were blocked from parking in the empty parking lot, twenty five of us gathered to show our disapproval of Denial Smith and the right wing UCP’s policies. Besides myself @katfromthehat.bsky.social & @ofmanyfandoms.bsky.social also attended.

Also a person holding a large Canadian Flag and a Fiddle Player playing some music for us. @ofmanyfandoms.bsky.social holding her Canadian Pride themed flag with a moose dressed as a Mountie beside the rainbow coloured leaf of the flag. Others waving Canadian & Pride Rainbow flags. Person holding a poster saying “WE ARE Alberta CANADA with a large red coloured maple leaf and they’re also holding small Canadian Flags. Here’s our WE ARE Alberta CANADA person again and behind them is a person holding a Pride Flag and another in a Red Jersey holding a sign that says “Hate Has No Home Here" In this photo we have a black backgrounded banner saying “No to Separation Canada Forever, Protest, Rally, Oppose, Unite, Demonstrate”. The word No, is done in yellow coloured letters the rest of the text is done in white, or blue lettering. Also, there is a large red maple leaf between the words Canada and Forever. People holding the banner are holding Canadian Flags.

Albertans are being forced into this quagmire because Smith knows that the separatist forces within the UCP can fire her a$$, like they did to Kenney
No other reason
That kind of self-serving should be criminal

That this UCP government continues to ignore this ongoing healthcare crisis is beyond corrupt and completely dangerous!

Since many deaths and near-misses were sent to govt - there’s been no acknowledgement of them, or any planned meeting with EM leads.

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.

#ABleg #ABpoli #CdnPoli #DemandAction
A political advocacy graphic designed as a sober public notice with a red and black border. At the top, bold black text reads: "NO MEETING. NO ACCOUNTABILITY. NO RESPONSE." In the center is a large, textured red heart that is physically split down the middle by a jagged, dark crack. The left side is labeled "Frontline Care," and the right side is labeled "Government Action," symbolizing the fractured relationship between healthcare workers and the Alberta government. Below the heart, the text explains the current impasse: "Emergency leaders are ready to meet. The UCP government has not responded." This refers to reports that the Alberta Medical Association (AMA) has not yet met with the government to negotiate the hiring of promised Triage Liaison Physicians (TLPs), despite a public pledge for them to be in place by February 1, 2026. At the bottom, the graphic uses sharp irony with a cursive greeting flanked by small hearts that reads: "Happy Valentine's Day from the UCP." This highlights that while the government made "immediate" promises a month ago following preventable ER deaths, they have failed to provide accountability or confirm if any new doctors are actually on the job as of February 14, 2026. The overall tone is one of serious frustration, contrasting a holiday of "heart" with the reality of a broken healthcare promise.

Take a read through these stories.

The Section of Emergency Medicine sent examples of real deaths and near misses to Minister Jones and the Premier 6 weeks ago, and so far they have not acknowledged the cases or even set up a time to meet with us.
