Seeing more and more weighing in about how the GNH Triage nurse/ED team should be held to personal account makes me realize that the avg AB just doesn’t understand what an utter dumpster fire our major EDs have been for months/yrs. 1/9

Easy to dismiss until you have a life threatening experience needing the health care sysyem. I have had 2. Most recent 2015 went to ER w/chest pains; stent inserted within 7 hrs; triple CABG 3 weeks later; still alive today. Given the current state of #AHS don't want a 3rd.

Horrible outcome, condolances and prayers for his family. 2015 went to ER w/chest pains; stent inserted within 7 hrs; triple CABG 3 weeks later; that was then; it so broke now. "...let's review this case in the context of the severe system overcrowding, and commit to a real plan and a real fix."

This just makes sense ... unfortunately those in charge of health care and our province are senseless. #abpoli #ahs #abhealth #abgov 🧵

Very astute analysis! Worth the read to understand how Danielle Smith gets it done even with the individual atrocities being legislated, . #ab #abgov #abpoli #ableg

"Instead of focusing on ideology and dogma, govt could use their time and energy, and our taxpayer dollars, on bolstering the workforce AND funding increased staffing lines to first use our EMPTY ORs in all of our current hospitals." #ahs #ableg #abgov

Well ... if you want a job done poorly and fail ... do it yourself?

So authoritarian threats and intimidation begin. Danielle Smith, obey the Constitution, honour First Nations Treaties and respect nearly half million #ForeverCanadian Albertans, and you won’t have to fear me. You and I differ. I follow the law. #ableg ca.news.yahoo.com/braid-monste...

We are sinking to unnecessary deaths under Danielle and her dreams ...

AB has only one chance ... election on or before 2027 ... if UCP wins ... most of us lose.

You're grabbed by the story ... the dialog ... the pictures painted in your mind by the words ... visuals augment but don't need to be 50 feet across ... don't need shaking seats ... don't need odorous venues ... those are for popcorn vendors.

America's regression through aggression is Trump's mantra.

Respect for the rule of the law is not a characteristic of Danielle Smith and the UCP party as a whole. #ABleg #ABgov

Hasn't been very often lately that I like what the Alberta UCP government does ... but ... as rare as that seems to be nowadays ... I am certainly able to pass on my compliments and support for this announcement by Minister Amery. #ableg #ASIRT #abjustice www.westernstandard.news/alberta/brea...

Good 🧵 "We honestly can’t afford another ignorant and ill-informed experimentation with our HC system." Unfortunately it's already in motion. If they're elected again in 2027 (or whenever she wants to go to the polls) Canadian HC in AB is toast.

The UCP are deteriorating into an autocratic regime ... the clock is ticking ... we can save ourselves in 2027 election ... or be subjugated

Good read. Today's world makes it too easy for the worms and slugs of society to crawl out thinking they're performing meaningful social action. dougfirby.substack.com/p/mlas-who-e...

I hope @lukaszukab.bsky.social might want to create a party to carry the progessive conservative banner in AB. It's been gone for a dozen years. Some stayed with the stench of the UCP ... some leaned orange ... but if such a group arose, you'd be surprised at just how many want to come home.

WOW! Two FANTASTIC down-to-the-wire #CFL semi-finals! Montreal ... final play field goal. Saskatchewan ... last minute touchdown. #SSK and #MTL met twice before in #GreyCup ... Montreal won both ... 97th cup 28-27; 98th cup 21-18. Next weekend's 112th Grey Cup should be GREAT!

Brilliant reporting and writing here. An absolute pleasure to read.

Well for me ... curtailing debate of the ELECTED representatives and BLOCKING any subsequent legal recourse with the NWC is a much greater travesty than considering a PAUSE allowing all sides to reconsider such a HEAVY HANDED approach to problem solving.

Had the same thought so I sent an email to the Honourable Salma Lakhani this morning requesting her to consider it. I hope I'm not the only one. #ableg #abgov #abltgov

It will be interesting to see how overriding charter rights, forcing a rejected labour deal on workers, and threatening substantial fines will impact Alberta's plan to add and recruit 3,000 new teachers over the next 3 years.

"They have created the perfect storm of factors that led to this poorly performing, toxic health-care system and all of that would be bad enough any time of the year, but it is especially bad going into respiratory virus season.” Buckle up. Gonna be hard on many of us. #abhealth #ahs #ableg #abgov

But his policies exhibit his incompetence ... he reduced a world class distance learning centre down to nothing ... he is destroying public education with his reconciliation approach ... the only question for me about his recall is "What took them so long?" #ableg #abpoli #abgov

AB health care sliding into an abyss ... solution anyone? Don't like UCP dragging us toward the USA style of health care for the rich ... but that seems to be what we voted into power. #ableg #abgov #abhealth

Condolences to Samuel Bird's family and community. Not sure there is such a thing as full closure but finding him and learning the final truth is a start. And I am impressed and grateful to the EPS for the effort and tenacity they exhibited to bring this case to conclusion. Thank you.

I went to check out the new License Plates… and it made me shake my head at what govt is admitting is there TOP PRIORITY for ABs, while public HC and Education are in chaos and being destroyed… Here I fixed it for them:

A wonderful day for the hostages & prisoners on both sides being released. Now all parties must do their best to keep the peace. A fair, collaborative two-state solution will be critical to that. A Land For All’s pragmatic framework is the best way to get there: www.virgin.com/branson-fami...
