Heath care negotiations update: Minister Horner

President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance Nate Horner issued the following statement about negotiations between AHS and HSAA:

www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

#Alberta
“Ongoing mediation between Alberta Health Services (AHS) and the Health Sciences Association of Alberta (HSAA) has resulted in the third-party mediator issuing recommended terms of settlement for a new collective agreement. “The mediator’s recommendation is being provided to the parties after months of hard work and continued negotiations. “Both parties have agreed to bring the recommendations forward to a ratification vote. “The recommendations demonstrate a clear commitment by the parties to work collaboratively to arrive at reasonable outcomes. “I want to thank the union leadership and Alberta Health Services who have worked tirelessly to get to this point. “I continue to recognize the partnership between the two parties as a testament to the importance of our health care professionals and the services they provide Albertans, and our health care system. “Importantly, I want to thank HSAA members including paramedics, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists and all the other dedicated front-line health care workers that provide exceptional care to Albertans every day. “We look forward to results of the ratification vote in the coming days. “Out of respect for the ratification process, I have no further comment at this time.”

Screenshot, it says: AHS cancelling surgeries due to LPN and HCA strike I really hope that AHS comes to the table with a good offer that stops the nursing care bargaining unit from striking. AHS will be cancelling all elective surgeries for a minimum of two weeks if we strike. Heard it tonight in the town hall straight from AUPEs mouth. everywhere will be cancelled “from north to south” because elective surgeries aren’t life and limb. the emergency surgeries will still be happening, just not electives. We make $26-36 an hour as LPNs and it’s time we get a fair agreement. we are 7th in the country for pay with the highest scope and we are being so taken advantage of. AB RNs are #1 paid in the country by comparison. There’s no reason why AB LPNs should not also be #1 in the country. AHS keeps saying we don’t do the same as an RN and basically saying we aren’t important… if we aren’t essential than why cancel elective surgeries? I agree it’s irresponsible to have elective knee surgeries happening during job action and I think this will be making the public very very mad. The surgeons will be so pissed too… wonder who’s gonna tell them they can’t do their beloved surgeries. all hate about this deserves to lie straight at the governments feet because this is who will be responsible for this mess. LPNs aren’t just walking out they are legally striking because they have a legal right to strike. we are being backed into a corner and pushed to strike just because the govt doesn’t appreciate us enough to pay us a FAIR wage. FYI Aritzia and Costco employees get paid more than LPNs keeping human beings alive with their own two hands the union said of AHS doesn’t make a good offer this weekend they intend to serve strike notice on the Nov 17 with the strike starting on Nov 20 solidarity everyone and see ya out there ✊🏼

The AHS website keeps a list of temporary service disruptions, sorted by town/city. There are currently 26 disruptions due to clinical personnel shortage (all of them).

Today a notice of motion was introduced to repeal blanket rezoning. It'll be debated at the #yyccc meeting on December 15th, 2025. The motion will restore zoning rules to what they were before the change to blanket rezoning in 2024.

Demetrios Nicolaides sent this e-mail out today.

Subject: We will win this with your help

#Alberta #abpoli
Screenshot of an e-mail. It reads: Dear Friends and Neighbours, I am writing to you today with an urgent request for help. As you may be aware, a politically-motivated recall campaign has been launched against me. This recall has nothing to do about me, but instead is part of a coordinated attempt to topple our government. I was elected on a clear mandate, and this recall effort seeks to overturn the democratic decision made by the voters. I believe I have been an unwavering voice for our constituents, focusing tirelessly on getting results, not playing political games. We cannot allow this effort, supported by outside interests, to destabilize our community’s representation and waste taxpayer resources. I am fighting back and I need your help immediately. Our defense depends on your direct involvement. The process to defeat this recall requires a swift, organized, and robust response, and we need to defend the mandate you gave. ⚠️ OUR MOST CRITICAL NEED: SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER ⚠️ This is the single most important and impactful action you can take right now. I urgently need committed volunteers to assist with essential organizational efforts, including crucial signature verification, data entry, and phone banking to rally support. Your time and energy are our most valuable resources in this fight. Action: Click here to sign up as a volunteer today and fill in the form on the main page. Our opponents are counting on us to be complacent. Let’s prove them wrong. This fight is about more than one MLA; it’s about protecting our democratic process and ensuring our community’s voice is heard above the political fray. Thank you for standing with us. We will win this with your help. Sincerely, Demetrios Nicolaides

This Chrome extension will randomly but subtly replace pictures in the browser with a photo of Nic Cage. You can adjust the frequency how often they show up so it's not obvious. Good for coworkers that leave their computer unlocked, or family.

Wedge Pond, Kananaskis. It's a nice day use area. There are picnic tables and some fire pits right beside the parking lot area. There's also a nice pathway that goes around the pond. Snow is starting to cover the mountains around it. Dunno if there's fish in it.

The Grizzly Paw Brewing Company in #Canmore does a real nice burger. Filling, tasty. They brew a wide selection of different beers (and their legendary craft soda) however they don't have any of their own non-alcoholic beers. They do have an IPA from Athletic Brewing Company that was really good.

As part of the 8th street renovations, they ripped up the road (it was being widened) and replaced it with bricks. It looks much nicer tbh.

Some string lights were added to the trees in the middle of Prince's Island Park. That's River Cafe on the right, in the distance. It would be cool if they were doing up the whole island like this or something.

A pathway between trees, in the dark. The pathway is lit up by small lights that have been strung into the tree tops, adding light to the spot.

Yemeni Village, 4th Ave & 8th ST SW is red now. I think Yemeni has permanently closed? Maybe it's something new?

A small single floor building as seen from the side. It was recently painted red with black trim. There's a chain link fence in the way due to construction.
