"It wasn't used enough". The epidemic changed: consumption switched from injection to inhalation. Instead of adapting the SCS to include inhalation, they said "yOU cAn'T SMokE iN a HOSpiTal". Guess what - people just smoked (and overdosed) in hospital bathrooms. globalnews.ca/news/1158056...

Systems achieve what they are designed to achieve.

King Thunderbird Centre opens!!! Something to celebrate during these tough times. They do such great work ❤️ Maybe, just maybe, one day the work will no longer be needed www.boylestreet.org/kingthunderb...

Edmonton's frostbite amputations went up, again. It's a new record high, again. More than half of patients were unhoused, again. And frostbite diagnoses not only reached a new high, but had the biggest single-year increase in the AHS data I have, going back to 2011. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

CONDOLANCES to my colleagues and the patients in the Edmonton Area. They seem to be breaking overcrowding records everyday in Edmonton. Last night the RAH ED had over 100 (ONE HUNDRED!) pts waiting in its waiting room. Just try to imagine that... 1/6

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

Things are getting a little out of hand... www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Thank you Alberta! And thank you to all the passionate volunteers and organizers for bringing some light into these gloomy times.

I'm old enough to remember when feeding the poor, housing the homeless and caring for the vulnerable was considered a good thing.

Every Albertan should be outraged. Our govt just rammed thru a full on attack on our constitutional rights. If they’ll do this to our teachers, nobody’s constitutional rights will be safe. This cannot be allowed to stand.

Is there a 14th inning stretch?

Let's break down why all of AB should care about large EDs being severely overcrowded 🧵 : The two EDs with the worst Left Without Being Seen (LWBS) numbers are in Edmonton Zone (w all of the EDs in the zone struggling). 1/8 buff.ly/YqfJogF

Read the Alberta Medical Association, State of Health Care 2025 Report. This report captures perspectives, experiences and stories from patients across Alberta. www.albertadoctors.org/media/lkajx2...

This is an EXCELLENT article 👇 buff.ly/74cnDsr AB still has no CMOH, and still no active and robust PH public campaigns... the PH leadership is completely absent by govt design. We need to do better Alberta - it affects everyone of us.

Thank you, @edmontonoilers.bsky.social for another season of thrills and cheers. We still believe. ❤️ #LetGoOilers

Alberta has broken a 1985 record of 843 measles cases with yesterday's 868 cases, including 75 hospitalizations. This is not normal. We must advocate for immunization, resources and public health policies to prevent this severe illness and strain in acute care. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

So 54% of the vaccines ordered went unused. Instead of quoting non science from the current clowns in the FDA, how about providing leadership and ENCOURAGE people to get updated vaccines?

I do not care if Canada post is ever profitable. It is a public service, everyone owns it. That’s valuable in and of itself. We don’t ask the emergency room or public schools to turn a profit. We ask them to be accessible for everyone to use.

This is a battle I’ll gladly be in the middle of. 🤤

I wish news casts would stop referring to candidates as 'in the lead'. It's not like they can run faster, skate harder, or otherwise affect the result now.
