Please read this thread. Private care costs more, performs less, and there is little to no accountability.
Albertans should be paying attention and be VERY concerned:
Govt is marching forward with privatizing all of our HC system.
Many many concerns w selling off hospitals to private for-profits:

Opinion: What's next in for-profit care in Alberta? Your local hospital?
25 years after Klein passed Bill 11, that opened the door to more private for-profit involvement in health care, the UCP is at it again.

Well well well - 2024 Parliamentary Spending - and guess who spent the most, it was not the Prime Minister of the country. #FiscalConservativeMyAss #Canada
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was top amongst them, with $8.8M in total spending, including $7.4M for staff salaries. /1 #Thread

As I often said to friends who backed Trump in 2024 for pro-Israel reasons ... Trump has broken faith with everyone else on this earth fool enough to trust him, wives, creditors, everyone. Why do you imagine you'll be any different?

Poilievre just wrapped his final press conference of the campaign, in Saskatoon.
I went to more of these (13) than any other journalist in Canada, for @nationalobserver.com.
Didn’t get a single question.
Which meant not one person asked PP about climate policy outside of the debates.

On my last night as MP, I thank Jack Layton for inspiring me to run for public office.
Jack made me believe it was possible to do politics with integrity. He loved our country and he loved people.
He said politics was about getting your hands dirty and taking chances to make life better for people

Peterson is the dumb person’s idea of an intellectual. His latest Rogan rant aligning Poilievre with Trump and calling Carney an “enemy” says it all. This should be a Liberal ad. If you ever doubted what side Poilievre is on, it’s crystal clear now.
