This remains one of greatest posts of all time and they didn't even realise

Don’t agree. To allow some of those with terminal cancer to die in fear and agony - now that would be a national shame. Palliative care is certainly improving in terms of access and quality but not always and some deaths are fucking horrible to witness.

Parliament resumes this week, so it's the PERFECT time to send your Federal reps a message re: AB's two-tier, U.S.-style health care legislation⏰ Already sent? Send another! Tell your friends to send it! It only takes a minute: 💌friendsofmedicare.org/Enforc… cma.ca/about-us/news/putting…

Across the country gov's are moving funding from public to supporting private. This is despite studies showing that public is more efficient and costs less. We have unused OR's and MRI's for heavens sake. Ottawa Citizen ottawacitizen.com/news/ottaw… via @ottawacitizen

Polls aren't ballots. Turnout will be crucial in this referendum. Here's what you can do to make these polling results become a reality. 🔗drjaredwesley.substack.com/p…

This is the exact opposite of what we need to "End Hallway Healthcare" This is the exact opposite of "Protecting Ontario" This is the exact opposite of the evidence-derived solutions from @CAEP_Docs #onpoli Trumping #onhealth

It starts here. Then every business and Albertan gets a new bill. “Once people get used to the concept of paying out of pocket for more things themselves then we can change the conversation on health care,” she wrote.

Nowhere on this ballot does it say "send Ottawa a message." Nowhere does it say "give Alberta more leverage." Option 2 asks if the government should begin the legal process toward a binding referendum on separation? How is that a negotiating tactic. So to those promoting Option 2, I ask respectfully: which is it? You are telling everyone that separation is a bluff. Why would Ottawa take it seriously? Albertans deserve better. I love this province. I love this country. I will keep fighting for both, and I'll do it with the truth.

Dr Brian Goldman is an outstanding Canadian and a mentor to many. Me included. To attack him is to attack emergency physicians in Canada. We are lucky to have his expertise in this country. Extremism and hatred have no place in medicine.

Agriculture, construction, and tourism industries will be hit hard - how will they recruit? If employer pays, consumers will actually be the ones to pay. UCP - making your life more expensive in every convoluted way possible.

RT @SPhillipsAB: Danielle Smith’s plan to charge a $1900 head tax for temporary workers will dramatically affect Canmore, Banff, and Jasper.

The UCP wants to impose more taxes on small businesses.

“Alberta separatists can’t even get Alberta separatists to do what they want them to do. I have no idea how they’re expecting to get the rest of Canada, let alone the United States and global partners, to agree to processes, let alone outcomes." rmoutlook.com/beyond-local/r…

What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention. So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement. Sign up at macklemore.com

Yet ANOTHER harm of AB's two-tier, U.S.-style health care legislation: health insurance costs! That's more costs for families, more costs for businesses. Alberta employers take note! 📢 Help STOP two-tier health care in Alberta: friendsofmedicare.org/Enforc… policyalternatives.ca/news-r…

We know that Bill 11 will make overall healthcare access worse. ++ evidence. On the proponents side are only 'feelings' that this should work. For those 'feelings' we are going to allow sicker Albertans to wait longer for care than those with money. How unCanadian can we get?

For many routine surgeries, patients don’t need a specific surgeon - they need a qualified surgeon, a safe operation, and timely care. Yet for nearly all surgeries, health systems allow patients to wait on dozens of separate surgeon waitlists, resulting in huge variation in wait times. Single-entry models offer a simple alternative: one queue, prioritization based on need, and the next available qualified surgeon performs the surgery. The result can be fairer access, less variation in wait times, and a clearer understanding of where more surgical capacity is actually needed. Sometimes improving access isn't about adding more resources; it's about organizing the ones we already have more effectively. #CanadianHealthcare #WaitTimes #Surgery #HealthPolicy #Medicare #HealthcareReform

This UCP separatist referendum is going to cost taxpayers $134,300,000. Here's what #Alberta could've paid for instead: 150+ Family doctors for 5 years. 250+ Nurses for 5 years 180+ Teachers for 5 years 11,500+ Hip replacements 12,500+ Knee replacements #abpoli (1/4)
