🚨 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.

#JustinWright, MLA told a big fat story, aka LIED, last week in #ABleg. He needs to retract it, as it's yet another false story about the #RCMP. His gullible constituents most likely lapped it up and spread it.

By using s33 pre-emptively, the UCP is not simply admitting that their laws are breaching Charter rights. (Governments have done that before.)
By foregoing judicial review, they are further admitting that their laws cannot be justified in a democratic society.
