Re that survey on attitudes to masking someone said I should do…

“What do you think of masks in hospital?”

I’d like to ask

“If I could stop you from catching flu, COVID, RSV, and many other infections that we breathe in, would you want me to?”

Little help:

Been told describing the state of our HC system (thanks to govt meddling and its chaos engine) as a gong show is a bit dated...

So chicken farms have started spending millions of dollars putting in state of the art air filtration and circulation systems - because culling whole flocks to mitigate avian flu is expensive - but we have done zero to improve air quality in schools - because kids are expendable I guess.

Yesterday the UAH ED had over 79 EIPs!

That’s more admitted pts than funded beds… Sick Admitted pts spilling over into EMS offload spaces, and over into areas for transitional beds (not meant for sick pts)

So the UCP knew that the sole sourced contract to a company with multiple previous government employees was sketchy and questionable…

And they went ahead with it anyway.

Final QP for the year!

I ran the numbers on the CorruptCare scandal & they don’t look good.

We’re past a smoking gun - we’ve got a body, crime scene footage and fingerprints on the weapon.

Albertans deserve a public inquiry.

On Human Rights Day, the UCP used the notwithstanding clause to take away Albertans’ rights.

Now they have gone even further by trying to stop the courts from doing their job.

Should you wear a mask if you've got symptomatic flu? YES. If you wear it at home *from the onset of your symptoms*, your family members are much less likely to catch flu from you (but you must avoid unmasked co-sleeping and eating around same table - have your meals alone). 1/

Six years.

Zero critical care centres.

Danielle Smith promised to fix healthcare in 90 days, but over 1000 days have passed, and all we've seen are cuts, chaos, and corruption.

We deserve better.

We’ve created the perfect sickness storm because whether you have covid or not right now, whatever sickness you have is probably worse because Covid damaged your immune system or other organs. But still we do almost nothing to prevent or reduce multiple Covid infections.

🔥 The Recall movement isn't a "leftist" stunt; it's pure citizen fury fighting for democracy and rights. The UCP MLAs have such hubris. Pundits are shocked how genuinely angry the province is. Recalls will hurt these MLAs more than they think. #ABpoli #ABLeg 1/2

Zelensky rules out ceding land to Russia

The declaration that Ukraine would not surrender land could mark the collapse of President Trump's latest plan to end the war, which critics condemned as fulfilling a wish list of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

If they respond
(and they will respond)
to the mask you wear
and the precautions you take
by telling you
that at this point
nobody cares
about the pandemic anymore,
remember: the fact
that they feel so compelled
to tell you this
is because your actions
are proving them wrong.

Well done, Calgary-Bow! We are all behind you! 4,000 committed signatures is a massive, unified demand for accountability from #RecallNicolaides. He cannot claim to represent the riding when constituents must resort to a recall to force action on education. He should be worried. #ABpoli #ABleg
Nearly halfway through our 90-day recall window & 4000+ signatures acquired! 👏

We still have a long way to go, Calgary-Bow! Anyone with kids should sign this! If you don't have quality education, you don't have a future here.
