🎯"Scapegoating Ottawa and immigrants for the government’s failures to appropriately fund education and health care cannot absolve Premier Danielle Smith and her government from accountability. Albertans deserve better," write these U of A Emergency Medicine professors.

Alberta separatism doesn't have to win a referendum to succeed. The movement's real danger lies in weaponizing western alienation to normalize anti-immigrant racism and build far-right political power across Canada, write Megan Aiken and Will Kujala. canadiandimension.com/articl…

I think Alberta's upcoming referendum is less about whether it wants to separate from Canada and more about normalising it as a xenophobic, racist society judging by the amount of questions about immigration on it.

This Calgary anesthesiologist hits the nail on the head re: Bill 11!🎯 "All physicians take an oath to 'do no harm.' Yet under dual practice, those with money will be treated before those who are very sick and need it most." edmontonjournal.com/opinion/… – at Alberta, Canada

NEW: In the @TorontoStar, I wrote about how the biggest danger posed by Alberta's October referendum isn't the prospect of separatism; it's the five questions on immigration.

AB's Bill 11 is "turning public health care into a financial cushion to reduce the risks associated with for-profit medicine." Shameful! Albertans—& everyone in Canada—deserves health care that prioritizes patients over profits. ❤️‍🩹Take action: friendsofmedicare.org/Enforc… – at Alberta, Canada
"She brazenly violated the Canada Health Act by permitting physicians to work in the public and private systems simultaneously and creating a private insurance market for medically necessary procedures, enabling the haves to jump the queue while the have-nots face increasing wait times in the public system." @JeremyAppel1025 says of @ABDanielleSmith #abpoli #cdnpoli #qcpoli #onpoli @MarjoriePLC @MarkJCarney @mablanchard65 macleans.ca/politics/daniell…

It would be terrible if @means_tv learned that a government minister in Alberta, Canada was melting down over their video of puppets explaining communism
I hope this isn't real. I hope a sitting Edmonton city councillor isn’t endorsing communism in Canada. This isn't the usual left-vs-right debate. Liberals and Conservatives have always stood together against communism, because it's not just another political view. It demands total state control and attacks the foundations of our society, your faith, your kids' education, what you're allowed to say, every aspect of your life is subject to the idea of communism. And it's the deadliest idea in human history: an estimated 65–100 million killed last century. Communism is truly evil. Don’t believe me? Just ask the thousands of Edmontonians who fled communist regimes in the USSR, China, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Edmontonians elected their councillor to deliver core services, roads, water, snow clearing- not to stump for deadly ideology on Instagram.

Being systemically oppressed in Canada is when your entire community burns to the ground and not only does no one care, you aren't given the resources to deal with the trauma. It is not when your professor says Israel is Fake and Sucks Ass.

🎯Re: Bill 11: "Alberta is not following an established international model. It is conducting a policy experiment with well-documented harms and unproven benefits." Albertans aren't this government's lab rats. We deserve evidence-based health care! edmontonjournal.com/opinion/… – at Alberta, Canada

We can't keep scapegoating. The reality is: our health care issues are the direct result of policy priorities! During this time period, Alberta's government has funnelled record public dollars into private profits while evidence is ignored and patient care neglected. – at Alberta, Canada
AB: Here is the EIP data (for ALL major EDs in the province) Indexed to Population growth. Obviously increased pop plays a role... but workforce, hospital and LTC capacity, complexity, technology, and GOVT POLICY make a massive impact. UCP GOVT POLICY has only made this worse!

NEW: At a certain point, one must inevitably concede that Carney's concessions to Trump aren't concessions at all, but mutual priorities.
