Actual data below instead of UCP spin. #UCPfail #protectPublicHealthcare
I just love (actually hate) the political spin put on these announcements. I'd love to see (I won't) a response from our Dear Minister on the following CIHI data. You can see all prov's increasing MD #'s. Since 2019 only AB and Ont have had a consistent decline.

The Auditor General just exposed a major discrepancy in government-reported health care wait times. Internal numbers don’t match what we’ve been told. This isn’t just a data error. It is a breach of public trust. This UCP government cannot be trusted.

Least transparent, most authoritarian Ab government ever! They won’t change. #UCPfail #canpoli #callAnelection
So true. When I was VP at AHS, we did weekly reporting to Minister and Premier for a range of measures. They only became public when there was something positive to share. Alberta using selective data to mask health care failings, Auditor-General says https://t.co/VPFn1cGTgk

Exactly, who are the feckless five? What have those 5 MLAs done that was so egregious that they were left off the gravy train?

The UCP’s new law says they’re the only provincial party that can call themselves “conservative.” I guess they have to legislate it, because they sure haven’t earned it. Alberta deserves better than a government of unprincipled populists cosplaying as conservatives. #ableg

Well you can't be too hard on UCP Justice Ministers - I mean they've clearly needed something like this "get out of jail card" with all the crazy sh*t they get up to! Just another United Corruption Party sweet treat.
Get out of jail free card for sketchy UCP Justice Ministers. Guess everyone will be calling the police chief about their tickets. United Corruption Party indeed. #ableg

The premier’s biggest regret is “leaving procurement decisions in the hands of an arms length agency with no oversight?” Give me a break - GoA micromanages every significant procurement decision at AHS. That’s how we ended up with this whole scandal https://t.co/BPOioWC9JR

This piece of investigative journalism is trending in Alberta. Reaction from UCP Cabinet: yawn…hold my beer wouldya!

The UCP wants you to pay for your surgery OR wait in longer and longer lines in the public system.
Two-tier American-style healthcare is not the solution. Wait times, understaffing, and access issues won't be fixed by forcing people to pay to see a doctor. https://t.co/SuiGAk6X5k

Rob is right. Call an election and let Albertans decide. “It’s hypocritical and self-serving to suddenly decide that voter recall needs to be reined in.” #ableg
Breakenridge: If recalls, petitions too much for Smith, it can be simplified to an election https://t.co/jfX098CQK1
