West end got lit up like the Godfather tonight. #yegwx

That was a nice storm that rolled through #yeg last night. #storm #abwx #lightning

There's so much to unpack here... - Smith claims the UCP are spending half a billion to force disabled Albertans to work - Smith blames the NDP for the distress in the disabled community - Implies that the missing ingredient in recovery from illness is government force. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Visited my colleagues at the UofA ED yesterday… truly a disaster zone. Only but for the amazing efforts of HCWs that show up is it barely functioning. Challenge to Premier Smith: skip a day at the Calgary Stampede and spend 24 hours in the ED WR of this every day rodeo!!!

Please take a read. Smith and Lagrange are actively dismantling the Canadian Health Act… gambling Canadians won’t notice and the Feds won’t act.

Yeah well that was predictable when the UCP canceled our South Hospital... lack of capacity means inpatients get care in the ER because...No beds. Compound that will lack of primary care access. Edmonton gets overlooked for care needs because...politicians make ill informed decisions on repeat.

www.policyalternativ... Take a read👇 “The issue comes down to a choice between two visions of health care - and two visions of Canada.”

Yep Premier Smith cancelled the Edmonton South hospital that would been open by now…. No profit on it I guess. Don’t get sick AB, your govt has abandoned you.

This is the norm in EDMONTON EDs now. Our ability to provide emergency oncology care is atrocious. LaGrange and Smith know. Unfortunately, they only want to talk about more low acuity private pay surgery… cuz the Premier had a staff member get private care in Japan.

Since today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #GreyDay - any bird with grey in its plumage, how about the national #bird of #Uganda 🇺🇬, the #endangered #Grey #Crowned #Crane, found in wetlands, grasslands, and savannas and at the #Calgary #Zoo last week. 🙂 #photography 🪶 #Africa #birds

First Nations leaders are calling for the RCMP to investigate Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for treason in relation to the potential separation referendum. #Alberta #MapleMAGA #Pinks www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/vid...

Yet another near miss at an Edmonton ER: a patient of mine on chemo was taken by ambulance for fever. He did not receive care for >8 hrs (8 x longer than intern’l guidelines for triage to treatment of febrile neutropenia (a medical emergency with up to 1/5 risk of death) 1/3 @pfparks.bsky.social

You have an elderly parent living alone? Common situation. Are you waiting for them to announce that they are ready to move to a lodge or supportive living? They won’t. Are you hoping they won’t have a medical event that will rip you from the comfort of denial? They will. You need a plan. Now. 1/3

The UCP continues to demonstrate that they have no interest in improving health care, only in funding their buddies' private health providers. Public health care is being sacrificed for profits. #AbLeg

"The focus on improving patient care, the focus on making sure physicians aren't burned out ... It's going to slow down a lot of progress in Alberta Health Services and the health system more broadly," said Manns. What a mess the UCP have made of healthcare. Blunders all the way down.

Oh #Alberta AHS V027 is out.. And What a Doozy.. Grande Prairie Surgeries cancelled, MORE OBGYN Closures, More ER Closures... And an update on the respiratory season that is! Buckle up folks! open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh... /1

PSA Decent honest ppl normalize lying by not challenging lies or liars. Smart ppl learn. Liars lie. Be smart, don’t expect liars to become ethical. It won’t happen. Liars lie. Stop acting like they will tell the truth. They won’t. Lying makes them feel powerful, so they keep it up.

“We will await the doctor’s return from vacation and let them deal with this urgent issue.” You’ve just cancelled any relaxation their vacation afforded them and perpetuated burnout. Doctor’s should have real coverage for issues while away not just “keep them alive”.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

From the DM’s… From the “continued disintegration of AHS” file… Alberta Precison Labs ownership is reportedly being transferred out of AHS and into Primary Care Alberta. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.
