Note the UCP's meme 👇.
In this particular case, the government has broken commitments to preserve public healthcare.
More worrisome, they're keeping more promises than they made in their 2023 platform.

"As the minister, he said it’s his job to “shepherd” municipalities"
This guy worked at a gravel pit prior to getting elected. He has no applicable skill to make him a "shepherd" of anything.

After my UCP stopped paying our municipal property taxes, forcing them to raise property taxes, we're now demanding #yegcc find ways to cut extra services, like those that help addicted and homeless people.

I always #run once for those I've known who've died.
"Imagine, when a human dies, the soul misses the body...
... it moves through the universe trying to describe
how a body trembles..."
Lines from a #poem called 'Tincture' by Andrea Gibson.
Worth a read.

Great summary of the current state of the United Conservative Party:
“What we are seeing in Alberta right now isn’t random.
It’s a gov’t trying to survive by polarizing its way forward.
Not by fixing healthcare.
Not by improving education.
Not by protecting rights.”

Wake up Alberta rural municipalities.
Better a wind or solar farm as a going concern rather than dead-beat oil and gas operators that won't pay their taxes or surface lease payments.

💰 Rural Alberta earned $70M in tax revenue from wind & solar in 2025 — funding roads, emergency services & recreation.
But a provincial moratorium has stalled future growth, costing municipalities $84M/year in lost revenue.

Happened to speak to a peds nurse this wknd who said lots of 5-10 year experienced nurses are leaving the profession. If the current state is driving them out with burnout, how can 'dual pay'—which competes for the same scarce staff—possibly help? It will only speed up the public system's decline.
Take a listen

Had an interesting debate with a consultant from Montreal, telling me what I see every day on the frontlines in AB isn't really as bad as I think... and if it is then allowing more HCWs to leave hospitals will fix it...
