News Release: Kenney government should not reduce agriculture health and safety requirements
Alberta farms and ranches are the most dangerous workplaces in the province
#ableg
afl.org/kenney_governm…
Agriculture representatives said the previous government's efforts to make farms and ranches safer landed in a good place, yet the @jkenney is proposing to exempt these workplaces from the OHS Code.
cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
This sector has the most dangerous workplaces in Alberta.
The online survey asks if employers should not have to report "potentially serious (near miss) injuries and incidents."
That's when an employer almost kills or seriously injures a worker. This is basic health and safety stuff. Why would any government propose this?

Exempt small farms from the OHS Code?
These are the minimum technical requirements for Alberta workplaces. Things like rollover protection - one of the leading causes of farm & ranch workers.
The @jkenney proposes to do away with these.

If I did a twitter thread series over the next few months detailing Alberta’s health information access request process & how empowered patients have legal rights ensuring their health information is used properly - would anyone be interested in following along?
#ableg #abhealth
Like, Did you know you can send AHS a Health Information Access Request & they are legally obligated to send you an audit of health workers who looked at your electronic health records?

Do you ever wonder if people who don’t provide you healthcare snoop through your file?

Full disclosure, I worked at Alberta Health Services from Feb 2011 until May 2018. I worked as a Clerk III, a Unit Clerk, a Clerk V and a Patient Safety Analyst.

But of course, I was also a patient the entire time with my own electronic health records in multiple systems.

Albertans have some decisions to make regarding what direction they want our province to go. I am hearing a lot about track records and taxes on all sides of the fence so I wanted to throw my 2 cents out into the internet universe. #ableg #abpoli #abvote 1/
Society pays taxes for a reason. Those dollars collected are designed to go to needed infrastructure, repair & maintenance as well as programs that save us money in the long run and make our society a better place to live. It's literally the governments JOB to spend those $$ 2/
Both sides have a track record. Albertans need to decide which track record they like and which track record they want to see for Alberta's future. I have chosen my view and my side and I would like to tell you why I think we are #BetterOffWithRachel 3/

Jason Kenney is one of the most anti-LGBTQ2+ politicians to ever hold elected office in Canada. If you don’t believe me, here’s a timeline detailing @jkenney's 20-year fight against LGBTQ2+ equality. (1/28) #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
January 1998: Jason Kenney refers to the Vriend case (which held it was unconstitutional to exclude gays and lesbians from human rights laws) as a “virus” of judicial activism. (2/28) #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
January 1998: Jason Kenney urges Alberta Premier Ralph Klein to invoke section 33 of the Charter (a.k.a. the notwithstanding clause) to block human rights protections for gays and lesbians. (3/28) #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Alberta wasn't debt free. Alberta was good at hiding its debt acorns in the wilderness. It was hidden in an infrastructure deficit the Heavy Construction Assocation estimated as high as $16 billion. In the fewest staffed hospital beds per capita in the country... #ableg
..hidden in closed hospital wings, and outside the province with the doctors and nurses who left. In the red on the financial statements of non-profits who were slammed with demand following Ralph's social service cuts... #ableg
... it's in waitlists that hold the names of thousands of people waiting for access to affordable and social housing. In the waitlists for disability services, seniors housing, supported living... #ableg
