Firefighters tell me the Royal Alex ER is consistently at DOUBLE fire code occupancy. Not surprised more frontline workers are speaking out. #yeg #abhealth
Two triage RNs at Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton say they've had 120 patients IN THE WAITING ROOM because there's no room inside the ER. How do you keep track of ALL of them? This week on @cbcwhitecoat

In an open letter to the Prime Minister and Health Minister, Health Coalitions representing over three million Canadians call on the federal government to intervene in the face of two-tier Medicare being brought in by Alberta's Bill 11. Read the letter: https://t.co/TRlJULWZ3D

@demetriosnAB Are you f*cking serious? Greece DEFENDED themselves from Mussolini and the rise of fascism - which saw Workers lose the right to strike, negotiate wages, or protest unsafe conditions. What the hell did you just pass? Which side of history are you on?

@RickBellwrites @calgaryherald #ableg #abpoli Your move? Rick, the move is on the Premier to offer a fair deal that ACTUALLY addresses classroom sizes, supports for vulnerable wages + a fair salary. You SHOULD be reporting on Smith hiding the Corrupt Care report You attack teachers instead Pathetic

No more delays. Watch HSAA Vice-President Leanne Alfaro on CTV and hear our reaction to the government’s proposed bargaining dates, and the challenges health professionals face every day with chronic short staffing. #SupportHSAA

First read of the report and findings: lots of bad stuff found in a LIMITED scope review. MILLIONS wasted - ? Some under conflict and possibly illegal activity. Judge says he could NOT do a full review w the limits put on him Only a Full Public Inquiry will help Call it!

The UcP is purposely putting misinformation out there Parents are enrolling their kids in homeschooling, to do that they must remove their kids from the school registry. There will not be a seat for them when the strike ends. A lot of kids are going to be in bad spot
With parents looking for options for kids during the strike… It’s a good time to remind everyone affected to choose carefully. Cause there could be very real consequences. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Hey @ABDanielleSmith how many millions is your government paying call centres to call 80,000 AISH recipients to make sure they apply for the Canada Disability Benefit you’re stealing from them? Your government’s incompetence and cruelty will be your legacy! #alberta

ATA president Jason Schilling claps back at Danielle Smith after she accused the teachers of being untruthful. The truth, Schilling points out, is that Alberta spends less per student on education than any other province in Canada. That truth hurts our kids. Who do you believe?
Minister Horner says TEBA won’t return to the table until the LRB issue is resolved—delaying & frustrating bargaining. The ATA has tabled a proposal, teachers await a response. Call me a liar on TV if you want, but AB schools remain the least funded in Canada and that’s the truth

This deal only happened because CUPE flight attendants & unions held strong against the Liberal govt's misuse of Section 107. That back-to-work order was an obstacle to free collective bargaining. Canada’s unions demand Section 107 be removed from the Labour Code. #solidarity
Please see my statement on the latest development between CUPE Flight Attendants at Air Canada and Air Canada: // Voici ma déclaration sur les derniers développements entre les agents de bord du SCFP d’Air Canada et Air Canada :
