So many of my patients qualified for free COVID-19 vaccines this fall. It made them happy as they worked extra hard to book vaccinations online.

Most couldn’t access 811 due to lack of access.

Raise your hand if you knew that MLAs had the ability to pull voter records to use to smear people like this. Even we did not know this was possible.
Dale Nally's recall petitioner says he doesn't listen to constituents and cites his concerns over the notwithstanding clause.

Nally responds by saying the petitioner doesn't vote and works as a proxy for a group weaponizing the recall act and the petition has no merit.

1. Choosing control over care is a failure of imagination that invites despair; and,

2. Health equity requires advocacy.

Bill 13, Regulated Professions Neutrality Act will be a can of worms that will hamstring regulators.
For example, did Kaycee Madu engage in "expressive conduct" when he engaged the Chief of Police about his traffic ticket? If it was expressive conduct could the Law Society discipline him?

Sorry, Minister, we don’t believe a word you tell us.

Front line physicians and workers were reportedly given less than an hour’s notice about your decision. The professionals and the patients were not meaningfully consulted.

Today, government introduced Bill 9 legislation invoking the notwithstanding clause to override a court ruling that protects youth access to gender-affirming care. This places government between a patient and their physician, undermining clinical autonomy. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

With this leaked document it will be difficult for the UCP to deny their endgame is to privatize healthcare in Alberta. As is the case with the dismantling of AHS, there is no evidence to support this. To the contrary, both will further weaken the public healthcare system.
