Shame on you, UCP. There is no Alberta Advantage anymore with the state of our healthcare.
Dear Alberta,
We have a serious problem with this government, who claimed it’d fix health care in 90 days. Seems pretty clear to me they meant “start dismantling it in 90 days,” because it has only gotten worse. And now stories like this are coming out. #ABleg globalnews.ca/news/1150372...

The Government of Alberta has referred to COVID vaccines as “an expensive intervention,” to justify a vaccine policy based on pre-ordering, radically reducing community access and charging most Albertans to receive the vaccine. Here are the facts. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

Unbelievable. Chills.
Tens of thousands of teachers converging downtown just outside where Danielle Smith is addressing an audience.

Time to listen up, Premier.
Time for a fair deal.
We stand with teachers.

Can we really start getting some more noise made at granting Asylum to Trans* Americans? They're gonna get killed, and we should not allow that to happen.
This is our DUTY to our siblings in the US. They do NOT deserve this.
