Summer has been quiet on the contracting out scandal - i wonder when rhe next shor will drop calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Completely agree. Team-based primary care is the way to reduce the number of Albertans without primary care. AB missed a huge opportunity to move this forward with the new family doctor funding model. As often occurs, the focus has continued to be doctors.

80+% of our health is driven by public health - not health care. Somehow the UCP has convinced many Albertans that public health is dangerous. It’s time to change that narrative

The public needs to write letters to their (UCP) MLAs who will have to put pressure on cabinet if a public inquiry is going to happen. Speak to your neighbour.

Bill 55 - enabling the final refocus - privatizing Alberta's hospitals. For-profit labs and surgical contracting out hasn't gone well - let's try hospitals. Thanks @pfparks.bsky.social and @jmeddings.bsky.social - we're only two years in. How bad could this get?

Former Alberta CMOH Dr. Mark Joffe speaks out on why people should care about #measles. Measles is a highly infectious, serious disease, and preventable. The current outbreak should concern us all. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... via @calgaryherald.com @bradenmannsyyc.bsky.social #vaccination

In the midst of this scandal, its important to remember that the evidence doesn’t support contracting out surgeries in the first place - especially if there are empty ORs in rhe public system edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... Can someone (or @Donbraid explain the difference in scope, authority and who can order an Auditor general report, vs public inquiry vs RCMP investig’n. Wylie’s office is tiny - not sure it has the resources for this. More than AHS needs review

calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu.... I was standing beside Dr John Cowell when the Premier called him and told him to fire Deena Hinshaw. She denied that too. I have zero confidence in her denials.

This is like watching Severance. A bit disturbing, a little confusing, but I can’t wait to see what happens next. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

AB released its COVID review last week. Today it fired the AHS board, again... Deputy Minister of Health Tremblay is now AHS CEO and reports to himself as the Official Administrator. Not a good week for Albertans and their health.

You know when you write something knowing there isn't a snowball's chance in hell of it having an impact? The effort required for AHS to evacuate and care for all Albertans in the face of climate disasters is staggering - thanks AHS
