More book bans by the UCP… this time in public libraries care of the Minister of Municipal Affairs Dan Williams. Just more distraction and deflection from this destructive government.

Troy Pavlek@troypavlek.ca · 6mo ago

Danielle Smith has personally confirmed her government plans to extend her school book bans to public libraries. The UCP is using "showing pornography to kids" (something that doesn't happen) to manufacture consent for systems of censorship and book-banning.

In today’s Legislative Assembly, the NDP requested an Emergency Debate on 🆎 health care crisis. Min. Jones said based on their initiatives and data, there is no crisis (ED utilization ⬇️ from 100% to 80%, ED inpatients ⬇️ 50%). Speaker McIver denied the request. UCP voted to adjourn an hour early.

Danielle Smith is willing to dish out millions & rewrite the law to help AB separatists. But she won’t lift a finger or spend a dime to do the things that matter to you. You deserve a gov’t that listens to you & puts your interests first. That’s not the UCP. youtu.be/ZZ5Z60SPDI0?... #abpoli

“Food insecurity is not healthy for the people affected nor for Alberta society. In fact, food insecurity is a major risk factor for physical and mental health problems, which adds preventable costs to an already stretched health system.” (L. McIntyre & N. Willows) calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Opinion: Celebrating food bank numbers obscene and insulting

High food bank use is not a cause for celebration; rather it is an indication of rising financial hardship in this province.

@pfparks.bsky.social maybe it’s time challenge the Premier + her FOUR Ministers of Health to shadow an ED doc or HCW for an entire shift. Sit in the waiting rooms, witness the chaos and distress. And if the UCP won’t, looks like you have an NDP MLA @janisirwin.bsky.social who’s raised her hand.

Janis Irwin@janisirwin.bsky.social · last yr.

Hospitals are crowded, wait times are out of control, patients are in hallways. Healthcare workers are begging for support. Premier, will you accept this challenge and come on shift with an ER doctor? If not, why not? I sure would. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/health/alber...

“The system isn’t failing because it’s universal; it’s failing because it has been deliberately underfunded, understaffed and the infrastructure and policies to build up staffing is withheld.” “Right now, our healthcare teams are performing a miracle under their provincial constraints.”

This is an excellent summary of some of the data on our HC system and why we are at where we are. Please take a moment to read. Govt has been neglecting investment in workforce and hosp/LTC capacity for years... we are paying the price now.
