Alberta physicians standing up for patients’ rights to care and physicians’ ethical duty to care 👇 The UCP have gone too far with their government overreach into your healthcare.

Alberta Medical Association@albertadoctors.bsky.social · last yr.

@cmadocs.bsky.social and 3 Alberta doctors filed with Alberta Court of King’s Bench for judicial review of Bill 26 known as “gender-care legislation.” Interference in the relationship between doctors and patients through legislation is overreach. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

An historic legal challenge from Canada’s physicians’ association to the Alberta government. Bill 26 is harmful to gender diverse patients and sets a dangerous precedent of putting politicians in the exam room, overruling patient’s decisions that they have made with their doctors.

Canadian Medical Association@cmadocs.bsky.social · last yr.

While we wish it wasn’t necessary, the Canadian Medical Association has joined three Alberta doctors in filing a constitutional challenge to Alberta’s Bill 26, to protect the relationship between patients, their families and doctors when it comes to making treatment decisions.

Working on a talk gives enough time to bake some bread on the side… the house smells amazing!!!

“Ms. Smith, transparently, has been attempting an Andy Bernard play for the past several months, kissing up to the Trump entourage out of naked self-interest while kneecapping what she decided was her competition: the rest of the country.” www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

Opinion: Does Danielle Smith know we can all see and hear her?

The Alberta Premier’s spectacle of naked self-interest has been broadcast for all to see. Does she think everyone’s too stupid to notice?

Worth your time to read if you live in Alberta (and to those outside of Alberta - watch what is happening here as it could easily happen to your healthcare system) 👇

Albertans are slowly waking up to the depths of the scandal enveloping the UCP government. A lot of folks are wondering how to explain what's going on to people who haven't been tuning in. Here's the what, so what now what, and what's next of the situation. 🧵

Anyone else remember these?

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Until we can start reframing our approach to health as preventative rather than reactive, we are never going to solve our health system failures. @picardonhealth.bsky.social @fionamattatall.bsky.social @naheedd.bsky.social @caulfieldtim.bsky.social

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

This is critical to remember👇 Skilled HCWs are doing their best in an environment where govt constantly makes the job more difficult. The Premier has 100,000 Albertans working in AHS, and all she can do is vilify and handcuff it…

With all going on in Alberta politics regarding the healthcare system right now… … your reminder that the care you receive is directly thanks to the amazing humans who work on the frontlines: the nurses, the doctors, the clerical staff, allied health, support workers 💖🧑‍⚕️

I don’t want to hear about your regrets. Take heed Canada - let’s not repeat the error of Americans. #conservativesdontcareaboutyou #neverpoilievre #vote Full video link ⬆️

Honestly, this guy. He’s so upbeat, so genuine, so optimistic. A bridge-builder. And this video shot in the snow is visually stunning.

I seem to recall back in the day Rick Mercer did a bit with a chalkboard to explain complicated political "situations"... wonder if we could get someone to do this for us now? (personally think @lisab0923.bsky.social would do an amazing job laying it all out!)
