Bill 11 isn't "European" healthcare—it’s a shift to a U.S. model. By allowing private insurance for medically necessary care, it risks:
💸 For-profit insurance foothold ⌛ Wealthy queue-jumping & doctor drain 📈 Higher admin costs
Our public system is being traded for greed. 🇨🇦🩺

"Alberta government won't say if promised new triage emergency doctors are on the job". Wow - like we should be surprised by that?? #abpoli #FireTheUCP #RestorePublicHealthcare

They’re experts at twisting things to suit themselves. Half our job while canvassing is educating. The people with any sense, listen. Unfortunately the UCP support base doesn’t have any sense and don’t.

No it’s not. It’s pointing out that our Governments idea of a two tier system won’t work and in the long run will cost us more money and kill people. Read it again.

It’s #ThrowbackThursday and Rowan has been in training for Whiskers Wednesday since 2014.

#cats #cat #rescue #catsofbluesky #FeralToFriendly
Close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. It was taken in June of 2014. Rowan was just over one year old. She’s lying upright on a blue and white fuzzy blanket, beside my wife’s leg looking into the camera. Being young she hasn’t fully grown out her mane and grown into her ears. Her whiskers are evident, but not spread out for a good Whiskers Wednesday shot. She needed more practice.

The announcement of numbers for the #AlbertaFundsPublicSchools petition is to be announced today. We worked hard on this and from the web site unofficially 123,006 signatures were gathered. Shy of the 177,732 required, but definitely sends a message.

The unthinkable has happened in Tumbler Ridge. Terrible, terrible tragedy due to gun violence. My deepest sympathy to all the family and friends of the victims, my warmest thoughts to the first responders, and indeed the entire community who have suffered such a shocking loss.
Broken heart but it has the Canadian flag on the heart instead of just being red or whatever.

Our hearts go out to the people of Tumbler Ridge BC. Such a terrible event.

This photo is a zoomed in image of the close up photo described previously. It highlights Rowan’s stern look and gives a very close up view of her face. It’s so close just parts of her whiskers are visible. And you can’t see her ears.

“So human you want a close up for #WhiskersWednesday, do you?”😾

#cats #cat #rescue #catsofbluesky #FeralToFriendly
A close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s lying across my lap as I sit and have my morning coffee while reclining on the couch. She has a very stern look on her face, so I decided to take a second extreme zoomed in photo and play with some dialogue Rowan might say, if she could talk.

Desperate people do desperate things. Maybe someone should employ some ninja skills and steal the carts ignition wiring and see how they like it.😂
