I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

Two Hills emergency department closed overnight, weekends
Emergency medical care in the Lakeland frequently means driving to somewhere else, especially if the emergency happens overnight.

The UCP is implicated in the worst corruption this province has ever seen: Millions in taxpayer dollars funneled to UCP insiders, political pressure to rig contracts, and a Minister of Health refusing to answer questions.

I've been seeing a lot of posts about readers trying to curb their own book buying. Let me remind you of the library. Libraries can use your support now more than ever. When you checkout library books this lets funding authorities know the library is worthy of taxpayer money. 1/3

As thousands of education workers prepare to go on strike, don’t let the UCP distract from how we got here.
Over 4000 students in Edmonton Public Schools are unfunded by the UCP. Alberta has the lowest per-student funding in the country.
The UCP will blame school boards.
But this is on the UCP.

Albertans are paying for a bunch of UCP MLAs to fly to Washington to pray.
God apparently doesn’t hear their prayers for free in Alberta. Flights and hotels are required for God to answer their prayers.
What will they be praying for? Fiscal conservatism.🙏🏻

My brother, with type 1 diabetes, used to remark, “Why would “they” want to cure diabetics? They make too much off us.” Some 20+ years ago. He died 14 years ago.
I can hardly think of a better example of the moral decay in modern health care than a Goldman analyst noting that biotech cures for diseases like hepatitis are cool and all, until their success diminishes the business opportunity for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

I have been wracking my brains trying to come up with a single instance where privatizing a government service has ever either improved the service or saved any money at all.
