This is a blatant power grab and they're also trying to sneak through Trump-like immunity.
"The bill would give Alberta’s justice minister immunity from sanctions from the Law Society of Alberta, which regulates lawyers, for any actions they perform “as part of their official duties.”

Smith is 100% going to neuter or get rid of completely the recall legislation that Jason Kenney created specifically to harass the ABNDP. It would be ironic if it wasn't just a typically pathetic thing conservatives do. #abpoli #ableg

A great thread, a confessional of sorts.
Note that it was the UCP itself that manufactured the crisis that is the Alberta health-care system today and that it was done solely to legitimize the two-tier idea.
Albertans, don't turn your heads away. This must be stopped.

Back in school, I wrote an essay about how two-tier healthcare would improve access for everyone.
It makes intuitive sense: create a second line and the original one gets shorter, right?
A better look at the evidence and arguments like Picard's changed my mind. 🧵

Picard’s point on AB’s new “dual practice” plan: evidence shows letting surgeons bill public & private won’t fix wait times, it likely lengthens them, drains staff from public hospitals, adds red tape, and undermines access.
