Can anyone imagine the toll this takes. She is just making Albertans sicker and more frail. She is disgusting
A reminder that Health minister Adrian LaGrange and other senior Alberta Health officials were warned more than a year ago that their badly timed and untested restructuring plan would cause chaos. thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...
Even worse: the ambulance might not be there for you when you are having your Chest Pain or a Stroke either
And if the cab gets you there, you'll have to wait in the ED WR for over 11hrs with your chest pain, as is the current norm in many of our large EDs

To the wealthy ABs buying the govt's snake oil of private-pay panacea:
15K for a knee repair, but don't forget to save 20 bucks for the cab when EMS can't respond to your post-op complication
p.s. the cab will dump you into an overflowing ED, prepare to wait with the rest

No one is monitoring Quality or Safety in our system anymore.
It is fragment, disintegrate, and privatize all the way.
No one is ensuring that basic minimal life saving care is available when needed.
No EMS take a cab, NO ED space wait 11hrs with CP - this is the new norm.

Experts say AHS data obtained by The Tyee further indicate the system faces being overwhelmed.
People who could be saved are DYING because our public health system is hugely under-resourced. The system can't cope because our tax dollars are being used to fund for-profit clinics, driven by greed & ideology. See this 2025 Tyee article from @charlesrusnell.bsky.social.

The purpose of a system is what it does.
This is a golden opportunity to organize: we're all being shoved into the woodchipper by this government, and by kyriarchy.
Imagine HCWs and patients co-creating a well-funded, prevention focused, care-centred system. We can do so much better!

Excellent summary of the integration and then disintegration of our HC system.
It's purely political... except this time the disintegration was like napalm on a a chaos fire...
take the time to give this a read!

[email protected] After a year of crisis-level strain in Alberta’s emergency rooms, longtime physicians say they’ve been here before. This time however, they say government is not co-operating with frontline leaders. At the province’s 16 biggest hospitals, the median time to wait for a bed has jumped more than 10 hours since 2022. Other metrics, like
Quick update: pt was in a WR chair for 13 hours, in a stretcher space for ONE hour, and then placed in another chair for 16 more hours while more tests run.
Unable to sleep or get comfortable.
Danielle Smith and our MLAa should try 29 hours in an ED chair
It’s inhumane.
