Just like recall legislation, most conservative supporters do not realize that this crap is going to make their lives much worse than before. All they want to do is accept whatever story comes from the mouths of the elite, without considering the consequences.

Opinion: Private-pay medical testing is no solution to wait times
We urge Alberta’s policymakers to resist the false temptation of paying for private access as a “solution” to wait lists.

The government has the option to respond to this but they actively chose to ignore it. They are risking lives for $$. I would say that’s a risk not worth taking.

HUGE legal victory: @cycletoronto.bsky.social has won its Charter challenge of the Ford government's legislation requiring removal of Toronto bike lanes! Justice Schabas ruled that the law puts cyclists at increased risk of harm and death which engages the right to life and security of the person.
