Timely access to family doctors is a significant barrier to Albertans' access to care. The AMA State of Health Care 2026 Report cites that 78% of walk-in clinic users go because they cannot see their family doctor quickly enough. www.albertadoctors.org/advocacy/str...

STATEMENT: The Canadian Health Coalition opposes today's harmful regulatory changes advancing Bill 11 in Alberta. We are calling on Health Minister Marjorie Michel to bring Alberta back into conformity with the Canada Health Act and prevent other provinces from following suit.
If only a certain premier would get on board and lift her stupid moratorium on alternative energy, then we could try to do the same AND have more than one egg in our economic basket.
#Scotland is establishing itself as a premier global leader in #renewableenergy as its powerful wind turbines now generate enough clean electricity to potentially supply more than twice the nationβs entire current demand. www.enerdynamics.com/Energy-Curre... #ActOnClimate #ClimateActionNow

Take a moment to read this Op-ED. HCWs and pts should have the right to feel safe when presenting to our EDs and hospitals. The overt violence - verbal and physical - is growing. Govt must act. No more words... Govt MUST act.

... and this is why the oil and gas industry needs such huge subsidies and tax breaks and to not be required to clean up their messes, boys and girls.
βRather than reinvesting those profits in the Canadian economy, the four companies paid out $79.7 billion in dividends and share buybacks, nearly ΒΎ of which went to foreign shareholders, including 62% to American shareholders.β www.theenergymix.com/u-s-owned-oi...

Truth served to the conservative party in power in Alberta. Shame on them to see students spilling out of their schools to march to the legislature on behalf of their teachers.
I'm calling it There will definitely be a teachers strike because the UCP aren't negotiating They just pushing lies and propaganda When the UCP would rather spend millions on ads attacking teachers rather than putting that money towards education, they are the problem #ableg

To be clear, there are no data that provide a link between short-term use of Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. In fact, one of the best prospective studies w/ sibling controls, if anything, pointed to a protective effect for use less than 7 days acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The fall immunization program will help protect those at highest risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19. Eligible Albertans will receive the vaccine free of charge. Other Albertans will pay a fee of $100. Learn more www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?... #Alberta #ableg #abhealth

Has anyone else in Alberta or Canada been getting a lot (2-4x/day) of unwanted ?spam calls from the US in past few weeks? I donβt answer & they donβt leave messages. I block them all but they keep coming. It is getting very annoying. I canβt help wonder if it is related to the Alberta 51 campaign.

π²meant for infrastructure & HCWs is being misappropriated by Smithβs UCP. Her UCP divert public funds to be private managed by UCP friendly corps, with as many unqualified UCP appointees as possible in exec admin. AB needs a public audit of every dime in fed health transfers & AB taxpayer funds.
It amazes me how many people have no idea about the size of their so-called reorganization and what it has cost us with zero dollars going to the front lines.
"Chaos" is exactly right. In 2018, AHS was ranked top 5 most integrated health system in the world. Now instead of one system, 5 million Albertans & 16 thousand health care workers have to navigate: β 4 agencies β 7 health corridors β 1 integration council β 14 regional councils β ... +?

Health groups are mobilizing behind the scenes to preserve access for vaccines as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. works to upend the nationβs decades-old vaccine system, according to public health experts.

Whatβs next, patient fees for that screening blood test or flu shot or mammogram or childhood immunization? Because all of those things are preventative healthcare staples too and all of them keep Albertans out of the hospital or get them early treatment so they can survive. They also SAVE MONEY.
The Alberta Government is framing their abdication of public health measures as fiscal responsibility. It is far cheaper to give someone a vaccine than to keep them on a ventilator. Denying vaccines is one of the most most financially reckless things a government can do.
