Here's a tool that shows ER wait times at the sites that report. This is based on real data from AHS without any approximations. As always, contact 911 in the event of an emergency. This tool is for information only. erwaits.popab.ca #ableg #abpoli #abhealth

We have learned that over the next few days, Acute Care AB will be cancelling elective surgeries in Edmonton due to unsafe patient volumes. Those who have advocated for safe patient ratios and offered to work with the gov't are being given pink slips. #ableg #abhealth #yeg

We have called an “All Hands” meeting of labour, healthcare, civil service, and advocacy leaders for Friday at 5pm. If you fall into this category and did not receive an invitation email, please DM us. #ableg #abpoli

Teachers, you are not alone. We too are horrified by the actions of the Alberta government this week, dismissing your rights and sending you back to the same overcrowded, unsupported classrooms. We see you. We continue to fight with you. #ableg #abpoli #abed

OK I'm going to try and understand the covid vaccine process in Alberta as I currently understand it. Pharmacies will not be able to give out vaccines, as per the gov't. But pharmacies are currently taking orders for all comers and giving them today. 1/4

It needs to be recognized and internalized - Albertans take their very first and very last breaths in our hospitals. Adriana LaGrange and Danielle Smith have no place politicizing these spaces. The HCWs that staff our hospitals are not pawns. They are life's caretakers. #ableg #abpoli #abhealth

Wow... not only are we paying more for these for-profit chartered facilities, they're only taking the low-risk cases. Also, this is the complete opposite of what Danielle Smith stated in that most recent presser. Can she ever tell the truth? #ableg #abhealth

Price comparisons of surgeries done at private facilities vs AHS costs, courtesy of the new documents obtained by the Globe and Mail. Given what has been going on within the public health care system, especially the ongoing closures in rural Alberta, this data is horrifying.

So we can afford to spend $250,000 for Danielle Smith to party it up in Washington but we can’t afford children’s eye exams. What’s that shiny lapel pin say again, Lagrange? #ableg #abhealth

UCP - “We have the best health coverage!” Also UCP - “K, now that we’ve said that we’re gonna cover less” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
