Today is the day I hope Alberta teachers stand together and tell Danielle Smith to fuck right off. If she uses the notwithstanding clause I hope every and all unions walk off job sites immediately.

Once again -- Dr. Paul Parks breaks it down. The most glaring takeaway for me? NO NEW CAPACITY IS BEING CREATED. The waiting line is just being split into wealthy (fast) vs not wealthy (slow). There are no new workers -- they're taking workers away from the public system 🤬. #ableg

At what point is this in contravention of the Canada Health Act? #AbLeg

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them. This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people .. bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr... 1/2

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. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Judge Wyant’s report makes it clear: We need a full public inquiry into #CorruptCare. From buying Turkish Tylenol that nobody needed to contracting out private surgeries to friends of the government, Albertans deserve better. Read the full release: www.albertandpcaucus.ca/news/post/ju...

Glad to see my Minister of Finance, Nate Horner, being properly compensated with $1.65 MILLION taxpayer dollars for the drought conditions affecting his ranch. To the rest of Alberta farmers also affected by the drought, you don't get anything, but keep voting conservative!

License plates will solve all the problems. #daniellesmith #firetheucp youtube.com/shorts/vdghd...

Today, Danielle Smith will unveil Alberta’s new vehicle license plate that features a slogan: “Strong & Free”. Smith will surely argue that it is featured on Alberta’s coat of arms however, we all know that’s it’s a dogwhistle for separatists and, is new plate a priority? #ableg

Sunday night! Bruce “Spanky” McAllister shut down one students mic during the “Alberta Next” panel so that young man couldn’t get his message across… Well… Evan’s back. AND he brought a bunch of friends for a panel discussion on Alberta Education! #abpoli #cdnpoli #abed

Danielle Smith is responsible for this person's death. Everyone has seen this coming, including her. Instead she wants to play games and destroy the Healthcare system.

The Moral Distress for the EMS crews should not be downplayed - imagine if your job is to expertly stabilize and transport, but you frequently have nowhere to transport very sick pts to? Or your transport times are so long you frequently leave huge areas w no EMS coverage? 6/7

RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #2 - Pt in their 40s, witnessed cardiac arrest - EMS responds and begins resuscitation - Only mins from nearest Hospital, but the ED is CLOSED - Adjacent Hospital ED Closed too - EMS crew NOT aware of ED closures 1/7

Poilievre launches an attack on the PM on the eve of a high-stakes meeting with a regime that wants to break our nation. MAGA Pierre claims he will be open to talking with MAGA America. His only other job experience was working at Dairy Queen (apparently). Put a sock in it Pierre.

and yet dani is trying so hard to privatize healthcare and get these big American health care companies into Canada, and exactly do this to us:

They are trying to kill their elderly sick patients with skin infections?

As someone who works in senior living, this is absolutely horrible!

Wow, it's almost like any for-profit business will do anything it can to maximize profits regardless of whether it negatively effects its product or service. Who could have known?

PROFIT PROFIT PROFIT FUCKERS!! We should make the executives who make these decisions live like this for a month.

People have been brainwashed by hate. Many Albertans have been led to believe that all of their problems were caused by Trudeau. But who does this deflection serve? An irrational populace does not think straight, tunnel vision/thinking, is the issue. By this, #UCP have served cronies/ themselves.

Came here to say what you already said. Plus, if they care about cost, because it's always about cost, the time and effort to treat a bedsore and resulting infections are so much more expensive than using a nighttime diaper.

Bedsores! Infections! Have we lost our frickin collective minds! Do we care so little about vulnerable people in this province?

Careful! There appears to be TBA rats at the voting stations.

From the DM’s… 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. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Delays to emergency care can have devastating impact on pts and their families. Closure of a large rural ED puts a large number of ABs at risk. A Virtual ED does NOT = a fully staffed ED. Unfortunately, there are many more cases like this one... 7/7

Sadly the patient developed septic shock and died a couple of days later. With timely diagnosis and intervention this can be a treatable/survivable surgical condition. 6/7

> 12 HOURS after presenting to the closed ED (but w virtual coverage) the xrays showed a massive perforation (hole) in his bowels. This is a time sensitive condition where pts can become septic and die quickly if not diagnosed and treated rapidly. 5/7

The ED was essentially closed, but there was a VIRTUAL doctor that the nurses could call. Because no physician could examine the pt, it was decided to hold the pt overnight for an actual examination and xray. 4/7

RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #1 - ABs are not aware of how frequently rural EDs are closed, and the impact on the people in these communities. - the ever-worsening stats are meaningless - it's important to put a human face on what's happening. Anonymized Actual Case #1: 1/7

When I grew up in Alberta we had the best schools in the country and routinely finished at the top of PISA results as recently as 2022. Watch those scores tank after Smith and her Maple MAGAs are in charge for a few years.

Hey Dani, how about listening and learning from the experts for a change. Free Covid vaccines save our healthcare system $$$ mucho money. #ABPoli #ABLeg #CdnPoli

The AB Conservatives have failed to properly manage the economy and now are facing their comeuppance. The blew out the Heritage Trust Fund, failed to diversify away from a single-industry economy, ruined the social safety net, eroded education, and destroyed any inter-provincial goodwill. FAFO!

The Premier of Alberta is up to her perpetually confused brow in scandals; the teachers are on strike and there’s no end to that in sight, we’re still waiting on the report about the procurement scandal … The pipeline is THEATRE. It’s not real. It’s a distraction, and it’s a cover - that’s it.

Oh, #ableg & #cdnpoli I hope you’ve all seen this. If not, you should. Eby is 💯 correct. This “pipeline” is more Danielle Theatre. It’s a means to eventually blame BC & Ottawa for her gov’ts failure. It’s a means to distract from the AHS scandal. It’s pandering to her base. IT. IS. NOT. REAL.

Jason Nixon was 4 years old when his Dad founded the musterseed homeless shelter in Calgary which makes it ironic that Nixon is the minister over seeing the cuts to AISH #abpoli #ableg #FuckTheUCP #FuckSmith

Alberta adding insult to injury for people on AISH. The provincial government may save some money with these changes, but it will be the cities that absorb the costs of more people ending up on the street. #ableg edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Matt Jones gets tasked with, among other things, making sure chartered surgical facilities can compete for contracts! Because we’ve learned nothing in this province! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Hearing about major layoffs at Alberta Innovates and Innotech. Tod that 70 staff got walking papers.

I'm 68 and asthmatic but Danielle Smith doesn't think I deserve a booster. I've tried for a week to book, even contacted health minister who gave me 4 options to book...NONE worked. UCP wants seniors to die. They've made it as difficult as possible to get Covid Vax.UCP have zero respect for seniors.

Impressive, stomach turning investigation by @matthewblack.ca and MacEwan U into Edmonton/Alberta’s archaic food safety inspection regime (including more details on the Tres Carnales debacle). 250 YEG restaurants went at least two years between inspections edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

The woman that visits Mar a Lago like she works for Trump, is destroying Alberta Healthcare and the Education system is calling B.C. premier Un-Canadian.

💯If anyone wants to hear un-Canadian rhetoric, all they have to do is listen to everything Smith has to say.

Blaming immigrants is not new in Alberta. My latest for The Tyee. 'Shameless': How the Alberta Next Panel Blamed Immigrants via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

This is the rw conservative bs that’s going on in the #yeg muni elections right now. Teachers are “terrorists”, and the clown wants your vote. #abpoli

David Eby will win this fight seven days a week and twice on Sundays. He's not the one opening the door to separatist referendums and forever blaming Canada for everything that goes wrong in his province.

Separation-stoking pot calls kettle un-Canadian.

Last week Alberta quislings were in Washington to further the break up of our nation. Meanwhile Danielle Smith is setting up a fight over a pipeline that no-one is trying to build. It is about stoking the base and driving rage against Canada. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-maga-p...

Please follow @moriartylab.bsky.social for her charts on COVID levels by province and Canada as a whole. #Skpoli #Cdnpoli

Every journalist should have the following response prepared for every time they speak with Premier Danielle Smith: “With respect, Premier, that did not answer my question. What you provided was a justification aligned with your predetermined position, not a direct response."

Whether it's Tylenol causing autism or puberty blockers leading to permanent sterilization, populist leaders like Trump and Smith have zero qualms about spreading medical disinformation. The lack of humility is only surpassed by the lack of compassion for those in need of proven treatments.
