Alberta’s emergency rooms are bursting at the seams.
Meanwhile, the government is concealing tens of thousands of ambulances for drug poisonings each year, through selective reporting that it declined to explain.

Up to 89 percent of ambulances for overdoses concealed in record year, as Alberta health care careens into crisis
The Alberta government says it has “the most transparent data reporting system in North America" for drug toxicity. In reality, internal data manipulation causes most emergency calls to go unreported.

Everything Danielle Smith and the UCP have done is shockingly depraved. We can now add "Ending the committee that reviews family violence homicides" to the list of atrocities.

I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest that every political leader in Alberta needs to officially come out hard against this separatist nonsense to send a message. Every mayor, every county reeve, every MLA with the stones to speak the truth needs to do it.

Smith says, "what we're dealing with here is not Liberal, NDP, or Conservative...it's about your lifestyle." He says more hospitals and schools would be built, and there'd be "no more gender politics." The room cheers in response.
