Stop normalizing coercion! Alberta forces high-risk patients to sign a $100 covid vaccine payment form before eligibility. This is a clear step toward US-style medical debt collection. Public Health Nurses are now the Vaccine Police. #ableg #AxeTheVaxTax #VaccinePolice #AxeTheVaxTax #ABpoli
Moral Failure: Public Health Turned Into Potential Debt. The fundamental promise of universal healthcare is access to care without financial coercion. In Alberta, the COVID-19 vaccine policy shatters that promise by requiring even high-risk, eligible patients to sign a $100 payment consent form before confirming their free coverage. This isn't administration; it's systemic intimidation. It is a calculated step toward privatization, normalizing the idea that essential care comes with US-style financial risk and medical debt. This forces patients to approach preventative care as a potential debt, creating a profound moral failure toward all Albertans, especially the most vulnerable. Where is the decisive outrage from the public health leadership that is meant to protect us? Welcome to the exciting practice of US medical debt collection.

FACTS DON'T MATTER!

It hasn't snowed in Edmonton yet, but that won't stop conservative trolls funded by Russia and the CPC from using past photos to help spread their lies and disinformation.

A social media post by conservative influencer, Kat Kanada, posted on October 30, 2025 showing a photo of school-aged children milling around in front of the Alberta Legislature building with snow on the ground. The post reads: A small gathering of purple-haired kids walked out of school and are protesting in front of the Alberta Legislature because they are mad at Danielle Smith. I wonder if they even know what they're made about.

Alberta's UCP talks A LOT about “parent choice,” but their Covid policies are making it impossible to vaccinate my kid. Every Albertan knows someone with asthma — exacerbated by oil&gas emissions — and I want to help protect those folks. Too bad I can’t. #ableg #abpoli

Hey Albertans who ordered a covid-19 shot, you will be asked to sign a Patient Financial Agreement Form. After reading it I chose not to sign it. You are allowed to refuse and you will still get your vaccine.

This is Calgary-Cross, the riding Minister of Justice Mickey Amery represents in the Legislature. Notice something interesting? He only won by 514 votes.

You don't think the UCP is scared of back-to-work legislation for teachers? Think again.

In December of 2022, the Govt of Canada offered 96,000 bottles of Australian Tylenol (the real brand) to Alberta.

It wasn’t AHS that refused.

It was the govt, saying that wouldn’t be enough.

How many bottles were actually used in hospitals?

9,000.

The important thing to remember about Prentice trying to distract Albertans with a new license plate design is that his party was crushed in the 2015 election. #ableg #abpoli

Premier Prentice:
"Albertans have spoken very clearly that the priorities they have identified are health, education, taking care of seniors, infrastructure, and changing the design of Alberta's licence plates is not amongst those priorities"

I preordered my covid vax this morning with AHS
At first I tried to go through the ConnectCare portal. That led to a page where you had to book an appointment & there were no times available
Then I found the link below and was able to pre-order from there

This authoritarian thuggery has no place in Canadian politics. And it's no coincidence that the targets are women.

Premier Smith must condemn this action immediately and call a public inquiry into the whole mess before this gets even worse.

If there was a way that you could democratically get rid of the UCP BEFORE the next election, would you support it?

The #AlbertaNext presentation pushed Separation not Solutions.

The panel lacked diversity, focused attacks on Ottawa framed to promote separation.

Real challenges are ignored.

Will Alberta’s healthcare ever recover from the damage of #FireLaGrange, #DanielleSmith, and the #CorruptUCP? 💰 We know some are getting rich off the backs of the sick—while staff burn out and patients wait. This isn’t reform. It’s exploitation. 🏥💸😡

A satirical digital image styled like LEGO branding, with a red background and bold text that mimics toy packaging. At the top, the LEGO logo appears beside the title: “Healthcare Deconstruction Kit – Alberta Limited Edition.” The main image features a LEGO hospital building being dismantled by several suited LEGO figures. They are removing bricks from the roof and walls. Around the crumbling central hospital are six smaller LEGO structures labeled: Primary Care Acute Care Mental Health & Addictions Diagnostics & Imaging Public Health (One is obscured, but all are visibly intact yet disconnected) Two LEGO doctors in white coats stand idly to the side, while suited figures dismantle the system. Below the hospital is a caption in bold red and yellow block text: “Why build when you can break?” “Now you dismantle a WORKING HOSPITAL.” The final line, in smaller type, reads: “Brought to you by Alberta’s authoritarian UCP government.” The image uses the recognizable style of children’s LEGO toy kits to critique Alberta’s healthcare restructuring under the United Conservative Party (UCP). The message suggests the government is deliberately breaking apart a functioning system, under the guise of reform, and accuses it of authoritarian tendencies and privatization motives. The tone is mocking, ironic, and politically charged.
