Albertans are witnessing the deathblow to fair and equitable HC access right here, and all without even a discussion to see if there is a mandate for govt to do this.
This is not hyperbole or fearmongering.

Today, Danielle Smith will unveil Alberta’s new vehicle license plate that features a slogan: “Strong & Free”.
Smith will surely argue that it is featured on Alberta’s coat of arms however, we all know that’s it’s a dogwhistle for separatists and, is new plate a priority?

If your son or brother admitted that he and his teammates had sex with an intoxicated woman, would you think, well as long as it was not illegal in a court of law it is acceptable? That is the difference between right and wrong vs criminal law.

When Alberta nurses apply for Workers' Compensation Board benefits for PTSD, the board must now assume the stress was caused by their work unless proven otherwise. The change means nurses will no longer be forced to wait for — or be denied — benefits after experiencing traumatic events on the job.

Pros: inexpensive, easily found materials locally or online, more effective than HEPA air purifiers
Cons: take up a fair amount of space, kinda ugly (can be made cuter with creative shroud design and coloured tape), box fans can be noisy
Pros definitely outweigh any cons for breathable air

A real Elbows Up plan would attack inequality - show that all Canadians are in this together!
Ie, tax the ultra rich to help take care of everyone.
Of course, only the NDP is calling for this.
