Caller - I'm concerned hospitals are going to collapse because vaccines aren't available and healthcare workers could strike...

Smith - Anyone can get the vaccine! (Nope) It's easy! (Also nope) We're following recommendations (More nope) The feds are the worst!

In defense of her continuation of the "Alberta is calling" campaign, she claimed that she learned about the federal immigration policies & impacts not from briefings...

But from a tweet.

We need to look at the REAL EVIDENCE, and the REAL EXPERIENCE... and stop accepting CANNED govt speaking points as a reasonable answer.

This isn't about if you vote right or left.. its about are we getting HC right in this province? Are we on the right trajectory?

The only voting members of the committee to address class size and complexity are all UCP Ministers/MLA’s.

Wonder how that will out?

For those keeping score, the premier:
🔵has already started picking her voters (through voter suppression laws).
🔴wants to choose who can run for office (only "serious" candidates qualify).
⚪️now wants to decide which MLAs deserve to be recalled (and which ones get to keep their seats).
With one of her own ministers telling his constituents the UCP will recall recall, Smith was asked today if there were any plans to do just that...

Her answer?

Not yet, but it depends on whether the signatures are successfully collected.

The UCP government created and championed the Citizens Initiative Act as a fundamental part of our democracy - giving citizens the right to launch petitions and recall elected officials.

Today Elections Alberta requested $13.5 million to be able to administer recalls and referendum.

The UCP committee in charge revised their request to just over $1 million.

And then voted it through.

The UCP just defunded recall/referendum.

Reporters should be asking Dr. Diamond (ACA CEO) and Minister Jones to answer for these increasing cases of worsening access to care...

They'll both try to defer back to "AHS"... but the solutions are in workforce/capacity/and integrated load levelling... which AHS can't do
