Albertans showed their support for disability services at today's rally.
They sent a message to the UCP, loud and clear, that disability services are too important to slash and privatize. The UCP's actions are cruel and heartless, and Albertans are going to stop them.

This is extremely concerning. AHS is looking to hire contractor nurses from Ontario to address staff shortages—paid at a higher rate than their union counterparts, all while demanding that nurses take a pay cut.
