If I have to live in Wayne's World it will be with a truly great one like Mike Myers. The other Wayne had a chance to stand up for Canada. He chose silence. Mike Myers showed up big time. No hedging, no playing both sides - just a real Canadian standing up for his country.

Premier Danielle Smith commented on the AHS stats The Globe reported in our Friday story, implying the numbers are skewed. To clarify: The rates for chartered surgical facilities, in The Globe's story on Friday, excludes items like devices and imaging because those are paid for by AHS.

Alberta needs Charter Surgical Facilities! The chart below proves how much taxpayer money they can be paid under the guise of keeping my new healthcare system working. Read: removepaywalls.com/https://www.... #abpoli #ableg #abhealth #UCPCorruption #KeepTheConversationGoing

“ “They were the ones who went out and received the bids. They were the ones who chose the proposal, and then they were the ones who were charged with the task of negotiating the terms of the agreement. “ Premier misses the point of the allegations: govt interfered in these steps!

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Hope media asks about whistleblower protection. So far anyone who has tried to investigate (CEO and Board) have been fired. And govt put active govt official as lead of AHS… many HCWs have told me they worry if they say ANYTHING they fear they could lose their jobs.

How ridiculous. The only reason Nate Pike is able to fight against this SLAPP lawsuit is because of the legal defense fund.

Why Albertans should care and demand a Public Inquiry into the Smith Scandal: CANCER CARE Remember this? Unforunately devestating cases like these are happening more and more frequently. Patients dying of cancer before they can even see a specialist. https://buff.ly/3X43vsz 1/3

CSF SCANDAL - couple reasons all ABs should care: 1 - Taxpayer dollars are finite, if govt wastes money in one spot = none for other spot (ex spend unwisely on CSFs means poorer Cancer Care and longer ED waits) 1/7 https://buff.ly/4gHpf4u

Premier Smith's abdication of responsibility is galling as it is predictable. The UCP had seized full control of the body when the alleged wrongdoings took place. It's been their beast for years. I raised red flags about this peril of populism three years ago. edmontonjournal.com/news/politic...

Anyone who downplays the threat of the anti-vaccine movement is either not paying attention or has been bamboozled. Sadly, many of us have been warning about their pseudoscientific assault on public health for years.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Among Alberta business leaders surveyed: 92% want 🇨🇦 and its premiers to present a united front against 🇺🇸 tariffs. 52% say 🇨🇦 should stop oil exports to the 🇺🇸 as a trade negotiation strategy. 56% say they will have to lay off employees if tariffs are implemented. discoverairdrie.com/articles/sur...

While it's perfectly fine to choose dye-free products, the evidence doesn't support widespread alarm. Our regulatory system continuously monitors and evaluates safety, taking action when required - even when that action is based on legal requirements rather than immediate safety concerns.

The #ableg Member Services Committee meeting just wrapped up and it was... ridiculous. The UCP MLAs used their majority to force through a litany of new spending on themselves.

The UCP just fired another AHS CEO. It may be a new year, but Danielle Smith and the UCP are following their old playbook of firing AHS CEOs in an attempt to deflect attention from the harm they are causing to public health care.

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

I’ve cared for infants who stopped breathing w/ pertussis. School aged kids who died of flu or COVID. And many of my patients can’t be vaccinated because they’re on chemotherapy or are immune compromised. Vaccinations save lives of those who get them & those who cannot. It’s that simple.

One thing I didn’t expect in the wake of the CEO shooting is the sudden attention on health insurance policy. I have seen this video and the BCBS policy itself go viral on almost every platform. People are waking up. Real lasting change in healthcare is coming. youtube.com/shorts/vWA2a...
