I find it striking the UCP Govt - staunch defenders of having no "fear hearing from the people" - makes up 9 Referendum questions about immigration and changing the Canadian constitution... but they didn't want to "hear from the people" on whether they should privatize HC...

"This entire mess has been a cynical political exercise by the Premier. It serves no one in Alberta. A referendum on whether to hold a referendum is not a clear question. This whole thing is a waste of time and money,"

FOM's Chris Gallaway & Red Deer Chapter chair Brenda Reid spent the lunch hour rallying with @CupeAB health care workers & advocates outside of Minister LaGrange's office!
The message was simple: Hands off our public health care!

If a separatist group wants to fight this in court, they can pay for their own appeal. It is not the responsibility of Alberta taxpayers to subsidize a political project the government claims it does not even support.

The province’s largest union is highlighting what it calls a crisis in care for Alberta’s seniors. AUPE president Sandra Azocar launched the ‘Care Delayed is Care Denied’ campaign to draw attention to “collapsing conditions” in continuing care facilities. ctvnews.ca/edmonton/alberta-…

and the Premier pretends she's a libertarian while she has the largest AB govt and has it meddling in our everyday lives???
This govt doesn't seem to prioritize what the vast majority of ABs do... what's the scoop AB? Why do we tolerate this?

Hey AB, while you are worried about the price of groceries rent, the highest electricity and insurance rates in the country, and while our govt continues to dismantle our HC system and underfund education, marches on with cronyism, grift, and corrupt practices ...

Firefighters tell me the Royal Alex ER is consistently at DOUBLE fire code occupancy. Not surprised more frontline workers are speaking out. #yeg #abhealth

Two triage RNs at Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton say they've had 120 patients IN THE WAITING ROOM because there's no room inside the ER. How do you keep track of ALL of them? This week on @cbcwhitecoat podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…

Are you f*cking serious?
Greece DEFENDED themselves from Mussolini and the rise of fascism - which saw Workers lose the right to strike, negotiate wages, or protest unsafe conditions.
What the hell did you just pass?
Which side of history are you on?

Your move?
Rick, the move is on the Premier to offer a fair deal that ACTUALLY addresses classroom sizes, supports for vulnerable wages a fair salary.
You SHOULD be reporting on Smith hiding the Corrupt Care report
You attack teachers instead
Pathetic

No more delays. Watch HSAA Vice-President Leanne Alfaro on CTV and hear our reaction to the government’s proposed bargaining dates, and the challenges health professionals face every day with chronic short staffing. #SupportHSAA

First read of the report and findings: lots of bad stuff found in a LIMITED scope review.
MILLIONS wasted - ? Some under conflict and possibly illegal activity.
Judge says he could NOT do a full review w the limits put on him
Only a Full Public Inquiry will help
Call it!

If Alberta’s teachers, paramedics, and health care workers rebranded as oil companies, they’d already have a deal
Danielle hands out billions to her donors while the people who keep this province running are left behind.

The UcP is purposely putting misinformation out there
Parents are enrolling their kids in homeschooling, to do that they must remove their kids from the school registry. There will not be a seat for them when the strike ends.
A lot of kids are going to be in bad spot
6 Oct 2025
With parents looking for options for kids during the strike…
It’s a good time to remind everyone affected to choose carefully.
Cause there could be very real consequences.
