If the UCP is confident on the medical merits of its transgender bill, then we should hear from the CMOH on this ASAP to validate the urgency of using the notwithstanding clause, it's why you have a top doctor after all.

On CBC hourly news they used the word “airborne”… to describe the TB outbreak in Edmonton.
But Public Health is saying not to worry because it takes 100+ hours to catch it.
Which I guess is fine, unless you work in a community centre or shopping centre or library.

The UCP’s plan to tackle wait times by introducing private pay in our health-care system is a step backward.
✅ It worsens access
✅ It widens inequity
✅ It jeopardizes quality & health outcomes
This has been tried before, & makes wait-times worse.

Opinion: Private-pay medical testing is no solution to wait times
We urge Alberta’s policymakers to resist the false temptation of paying for private access as a “solution” to wait lists.

But the money didn't come as a result of the strike. It was already in last spring's budget before the Alberta teachers' walked off the job. #AbLeg #AbEd
