“Political bullshit, by the way, is defined as “persuasive communication that has no regard for truth, knowledge or evidence.” And that’s what Smith and her deferential companions delivered shamelessly.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

The UCP government is known for chaos, cuts, and corruption. It’s cruel. Health care should be there for all of us when we need it. Instead, the UCP is pushing privatization, leading to worse health outcomes.

The most frustrating aspect of the UCP’s decision to no longer fund Covid vaccines is that it will most affect the working poor. The heroes of Covid who worked fast food, delivered groceries, cleaned public spaces & kept us all going. #ableg

Alberta's government is looking to cover costs and reduce waste. But U of C health law professor Lorian Hardcastle says she expects hospitalizations to increase, and even a few prevented ICU stays could have paid for "a lot of vaccines." From @jack-farrell.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/2c3n8r39

Alberta should remove as many barriers as possible to seasonal vaccination given the state of health care in the province. Our hospitals are full of viral illness with decreasing vax rates. This decision will kill people. The government doesn’t care.

Most Albertans, including healthcare workers, will now have to pay to get a COVID vaccine. Danielle Smith promised Albertans would never have to pay out of pocket for the medical treatment they need. She lied. Such a cruel, dangerous, anti-science, anti-public health decision. Make it make sense.

The government has declined an interview request with preventative health Min. LaGrange. Since this story was published, her office acknowledged receipt of CP's questions, but no responses yet, including about the possibility of health care workers having to pay for their own COVID shot.
