Hey AB... hallway medical care like this example is absoltuely the norm in our hospitals and EDs...

We need more pts and their families to tell their stories! The press doesn't jump on the issue until they have concrete stories they can tell.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

Of all the excuses not to show up to work while still collecting a paycheck, refusing to show up for 2 months so you can conceal info about sex trafficking because the perps are wealthy and powerful can only be conjured up in the toxic mind hive of Trump & House GOP leadership.

Bruce “Spanky” McAllister shut down a students mic during the “Alberta Next” panel so that young man couldn’t get his message across…

Well…

Evan’s back.

AND he brought friends for a panel discussion on Alberta Education!

Meanwhile, in the land of privately owned, for profit care…

Allegedly long term care homes have stopped using overnight adult diapers and are only using daytime ones because they’re cheaper.

Even though they allegedly compromise care.

I'd really like to help teachers with class sized and funding issues, but we are flat broke since allocating over $400 MILLION to private for-profit charter schools. There's nothing we can do.

As premier, I am often forced to make some really difficult decisions. Decisions that will affect people for generations. Decisions that affect me, my party, my friends, and our pocketbooks.

I stand by my decisions.

The reviews are coming in on the UCP's American lesson plans they're offering parents while teachers are on strike...

From this Grade 1 teacher, not only do they not align with the UCP's curriculum...

They aren't even based in what most Grade 1 kids can do.

Remember that story I completely made up about a child on his dad's shoulders at an Alberta Recovery event?

His mother wants me to apologize.

Maybe I'll get Spanky McAllister to apologize for me. He's good at it.

As teachers are only days away from a strike because the UCP refuse to address the issues of classroom sizes and complexity…

We couldn’t help but think that what they need is a hero to take the education minister over his knee…

We found that hero.

A lot of people have been sharing links to a series of articles I wrote 16 years ago about Premier Danielle Smith’s disastrous time on the Calgary Board of Education in the late 1990s.

I know there’s a lot going on with *gestures to everything* but as of today, October 1st:

🚩Alberta officially has the LOWEST minimum wage in Canada

🚩AISH recipients in social housing will pay hundreds more in rent

Cruel UCP choices are making life more expensive.

It doesn’t have to be this way.
