This combined with such an increase of homelessness is terrible.
This comes just days after Canada lost its measles elimination status—with Alberta having highest case concentrations.

Part of a general UCP policy of gutting or defunding (or in some cases both) accountability mechanisms. We see the same thing in access to information where inadequate funding leads to delays & dysfunction as demonstrated by @drewyewchuk.bsky.social in many @ablawg.bsky.social posts.
