When Hollywood Does Canada: The Great Escape
A great movie from the 1960s, but one that eliminated the 150 Canadians who played a critical role in the escape. Instead, Americans were made the central characters and heroes.

🚨 Patients are feeling the collapse of healthcare. Today, for the 1st time in my 30 years as a doc, the majority of patients I saw apologized for being sick & needing care. Some had many issues. Exactly none of their needs were frivolous; all were urgent.

And why are we losing the war for vaccination? Conservative provincial governments responsible for education & healthcare pandering to anti-vaxxers, underfunding local healthcare, and allowing uninformed, non-medical "personal objections" and religions to overrride public health demands. #cdnpoli

In my rush to get to the “Standing Up Against the #UCP” rally in Calgary, I totally forgot to update the date on my post. Oops!

Anyway, here’s my pick for sign of the day at the rally and as a born-and-raised #Albertan, rereading it at home was an absolute gut punch. #FireTheUCP #ableg #abpoli

Alberta Healthcare Universality is Clearly in Smith's Sights

Pay more taxes, get fewer public services. Not satisfied? Then pay out of your own pocket.

That's the playbook, folks. You've been warned.

Couldn’t have said it better.

Here’s an idea Danielle, introduce mandatory vaccinations for all school age children.

You can use the notwithstanding clause to get it done.

An immediate public inquiry needs to be held Danielle Smith and the UCP were not cleared in the last report by retired judge Wyant. In fact he states there is a need for a full public inquiry in his report!

Driving 300kms at 120kph will save everyone about 13mins and use 20% more fuel than driving the same distance at 110kph! Out of all the problems in this province this is what you are focused on UCP?

The resolution book is out for the upcoming UCP convention — and even after it has become abundantly clear that the VAST majority of Albertans oppose the idea, the UCP base is still pushing to pull our province out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP).

The UCP want to remove fluoride from water systems for health reasons.
Calgary just added it again because of the negative impacts it’s had on dental health vs Edmonton where it’s been kept in

What blatant "obfuscation" that is, Premier! Alberta's medical system has suffered primarily from staffing issues (that's operational!) and lack of Gov't acceptance of proposed solutions. Your "mother knows best" attitude is full of hot air, or perhaps something even more - fragrant. #ABpoli #ABleg

It’s wildly impressive how many ways the UCP gov’t can break #Alberta.

They just freaking destroyed healthcare, paramedics, disability, lab services, budgeting (kids Tylenol, coal contracts, private labs, border patrol🤯) and now education.

Darwin, I have questions…

Read this.

This is a column by a conservative political scientist who clearly articulates that the premature invocation of the notwithstanding clause is a violation of the “Lougheed Doctrine”.

How powers are used matter.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Like me, many Albertans are caught in the middle between those who defend and oppose the government at all costs.

Fortunately, Peter Lougheed provided us with guidelines for how to approach these issues.

Alberta, watch what America is doing right now - with their refusal to support funding of the Affordable Care Act.

If Danielle Smith has her way with the medical system, we, too, will be facing $1000s in monthly premiums just to visit doctors.
She wants it that way.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
