Twenty eight people gathered today in the balmy +2C (36F) weather to draw attention to the recall initiative. I couldn’t take any pictures because I volunteered to be one of the large banner posts🤣 @ofmanyfandoms.bsky.social volunteered for the other one.

#RecallSmith #RecallWright #RecallThemAll
Photo of the poster I made, to draw attention to the recall initiatives in Alberta. It reads: "Fire Smith Save Alberta, RECALL Justin Wright”. It also has the Canadian flag in the upper left corner. I volunteered to hold one of the protest banners, so I had this on attached to a small rope and hung it from my neck while I was holding the banner. This also meant I was unable to take any pictures of the gathering.

To be very clear 100s of acute care physicians are saying we are in a current state of CRISIS/EMERGENCY.

Mitigating actions can be taken with provincial coordination measures that exist, and have been used before province-wide.

I received a message from an Alberta ED colleague that stopped me cold. He treated a very elderly pt - a retired Charge Nurse who began her career as WWII ended. She waited 8 hours in the WR for care. Her assessment of our current reality is devastating....

Do you feel overwhelmed? Tired? Exhausted with the constant news cycle?

I want you to know: that's their goal.

They want you checked out. They want you burnt out. I get it. I feel it.

Take a break, but don't give up. When you give up, they win.

4 Ministers. 4 Agencies. 0 Accountability.

By splitting AHS, the UCP ensures no one is responsible for the "whole patient." While Jones, LaGrange, Nixon, and Wilson point fingers at each other, Edmonton ERs hit 170% capacity.

"Refocused" into a disaster.

#ABHealth #AbLeg #ABpoli #CdnPoli
A satirical illustration set in a crowded, worn hospital hallway. In the foreground, an older patient lies on a stretcher holding a small hand bell that is actively ringing. The patient looks exhausted and unattended. On the patient’s gown is a label reading “Alberta Health Care System,” indicating the patient represents the health system itself rather than an individual person. Behind the patient is a nurse’s station where four Alberta cabinet ministers are arguing with each other instead of responding. Each minister has a name label above their speech bubble. From left to right: Matt Jones, Adriana LaGrange, Jason Nixon, and Rick Wilson. Their speech bubbles show each minister deflecting responsibility to another department, emphasizing fragmented authority and lack of coordination. The ministers are pointing at one another while speaking. In the background, shadowy figures suggest absent leadership. A silhouette near the wall is labeled “Acute Care Alberta CEO?” and a sign on the desk at the nurse’s station reads “Former AHS Oversight — On Leave.” The hallway appears crowded and neglected, reinforcing a sense of crisis and abandonment. At the bottom of the image, bold text reads: “UCP 2026 Refocusing: We didn’t fix the call button. We just gave four ministers a reason not to answer it.”

As a canvasser, I received my credentials 2 wks into the campaign. As the 1st major petition, we faced constant barriers. Without those constraints, the signature count would have doubled. That conviction will carry me forward against continued separatist propaganda. #ForeverCanadian #ABleg #ABpoli
Infographic titled “Despite the Barriers, We Succeeded” featuring the Forever Canadian logo at the top, a red maple leaf with a flame symbol. The graphic states that the campaign was “Grassroots and volunteer-organized, not an established organization.” It highlights a total of 456,388 signatures gathered across Alberta, both rural and urban. Three columns describe barriers faced during the campaign. The first column, Accessibility Barriers, lists delayed volunteer accreditation, restricted access to public venues, and no entry to Legions, malls, care homes, or businesses. The second column, Financial Barriers, notes a zero advertising budget, reliance on capped donations under financial rules, and volunteers self-funding tables, forms, pens, and signage. The third column, Awareness Barriers, states there was no centralized marketing, reliance on organic social media, and that the new petition required education and public trust. Below the columns, the infographic notes that volunteers showed up consistently and self-organized across communities. The final section states that without these barriers, the signature count would have at least doubled, and concludes with the statement, “Grassroots democracy works—when people are allowed to participate.”

🚨 NEW: This week on ‘Whatever This Is’ we explain Danielle Smith’s Bill 11 healthcare smokescreen.

The policy hits you hard when you need surgery. You face tens of thousands or wait even longer.

PM Mark Carney can stop this before surgery becomes a product in Canada: MakeTheSave.ca #ableg #abpoli

The truth is: Our health care system isn't broken, it's being dismantled.

It's time for an urgent conversation.

Axe the Vax Tax: Health Shouldn’t Come With a Price Tag
Charging for vaccines means fewer people get protected. Families living paycheck to paycheck will skip vaccines. Workers will get sick, especially health care and education workers.

🇨🇦 ALBERTA'S HEALTH CARE "EXPERIMENT": EXPERTS WARN THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS 🇨🇦

#Bill11 paves the way for a "dual practice" model, allowing doctors to work in both public & private systems.

The #UCP promises shorter wait times. Experts fear a system collapse.

Mark Carney is going to make Danielle Smith look like a fool. He gave her all the rope she needs.
Go ahead Dani, get that pipeline built with no investments, BC telling you to fuck off and the Indigenous folks not allowing it.

When the pipeline doesn't happen, you can't blame the Libs this time.
