With the exception of the period from 2015 to 2019, the province has been governed by Conservatives. Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP Government announced in 2017 that a new hospital would be built in south Edmonton, but the UCP pulled the plug on that project once they were in power. #ABleg #ABpoli

We are now learning of even more patients who have died waiting for care. Yet the UCP still refuses to take responsibility or acknowledge the crisis.

Just so everyone's clear, being told you're not allowed to ask questions about a topic is a very clear message that the media SHOULD be asking questions about it AND investigating the snot out of it.

While the landscape is certainly different, Bluesky turns -2- on February 6, 2026. (Public launch date).

Bluesky has actually been remarkably successful as an app within a relatively short time frame. Expecting it to have the same metrics as some of the biggest apps in the world is stupid. What really matters is having content that people care about, especially if it travels outside the platform itself

You have no idea how massively the UCP is fucked with regard to the cancelled South Edmonton hospital. It was a prime location with LRT access, school access, and would have drove lots of investment/professional services to the area.
