When new opportunities come up, don’t discount it right away because u don’t see yourself in that role. Putting constraints on what u think u can do only limits ur true potential. #ChallengeYourself #NoLimits

But here's what I really want to make clear. We can't keep doing what we are doing with these rural closures. It's time to think in a different way and where possible consider a more regionalized approach to the delivery of quality emergency care.

When Roe v. Wade was overturned, we committed that we'd never stop fighting for your reproductive rights. That hasn't changed. Today, I signed a third reproductive health care Executive Order that strengthens access to contraception – an essential part of reproductive care.

Transparency? “somebody's decision to reach deep into AHS operations to quash a public health…expert's employment is a decision that affects more than just the one person whose contract was mysteriously shredded.” ⁦ @markusoff#abpoli #abhealth cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/a…

I commit to continuing continuous respirator mask use with my colleagues and staff as long as there is circulating COVID in Calgary.

For anyone on the fence about installing #solarpanels on your home… We installed 28 panels a year ago this month. We have not paid a power bill for a year now and after coming thru winter, still have a credit balance on our bill of $635. @jvipondmd #climate

Today, a highly respected, experienced & dedicated physician won a provincial election. She took the seat of the health minister whose expertise in health - is labour law. Congratulations @luanne_metz . You will make a difference!

So, I'm going over the data for a column about oil/gas during the @Alberta_UCP's 4 years. *1.5x as many jobs lost as @albertaNDP *Capex only 50% of 2014 peak *No new pipelines or shipping capacity *Higher O&G emissions WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY DO IN GOVERNMENT?

As emergency doctors we are witnesses to the system- wide healthcare crisis in AB. This letter (signed by over >180 Calgary ED docs) adds our voice to the untenable state of healthcare. Albertans deserve quality, compassionate, and timely emergency care: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

I’m a medical student in Alberta. Not a single one of my classmates are international students. 85% of my class is explicitly comprised of people from Alberta. If there is a doctor shortage, it’s because Alberta trained grads don’t want to work under a morally bankrupt gov.

Instead of figuring out how to recruit more doctors... ... UCP candidate Scott Cyr says we have too many "foreign students" in medical schools?

My partner needed emergency surgery this weekend. Total out of pocket expenses: $14.25 in parking. This is what health care should be, and why I support Alberta’s NDP. Your vote matters. #ableg

Rounding on the weekend alone at the cancer hospital, it’s hard not to feel the weight of so many tragic stories and so much suffering. I am caring for a collection of adults who were torn from a productive life involuntarily to fight for their lives and livelihoods #cancersucks

Remember in the debate when @ABDanielleSmith said “we listened to doctors and nurses and EMS and we (Essentially fixed everything)… (I forget the details bc I was busy rage crying at that point)…. Find me one HCW who feels heard by this gov’t. Just ONE. I’ll bet you can’t.

Day 15 of #EastPrairieMetisSettlement volunteers with SRD support managed to save houses just 200 meters ahead of these flames. We requested two additional fire & water trucks from @ABDanielleSmith ministry “crickets”

Narrator: They need to be permanent.
This morning, the first of 20 temp water bottle-filling stations opened. With extreme weather already here, this is a critical way to protect & serve vulnerable neighbours. Access to clean water is a fundamental part of building a safe, caring, & compassionate #yeg for everyone.
