Albertans didn't vote for two-tier care! “Bill 11 is the exact opposite of [the Premier's] so-called public health care guarantee during the election. This unacceptable legislation should be pulled from the order paper immediately": FOM's Chris Gallaway https://t.co/W5jtVbfWN2

New coal settlement alert! This time, it’s 95 million dollars with another coal company. The only reason we know this because the company posted the amount, and not government. This taxpayer money should be funding public education and healthcare but instead, Albertans continue
