18 doctors in the Town of #Westlock have signed a letter harshly criticizing @shandro & Jason Kenney's UCP for creating a crisis in rural healthcare. The letter makes it clear some doctors will be forced to resign from the hospital.

The letter stresses that the doctors are seeking a negotiated agreement between the province and the Alberta Medical Association, one that cannot be torn up on a whim using the powers of Bill 21.

“If we are the only province without an agreement, how do we expect new doctors to come?” the doctors write.

“When we know this government can impose unilateral changes at any time, how do we expect the current physicians to stay?"

"We are literally being asked to man the front lines of a pandemic while the ground shifts beneath us at the whims of this government. It is exhausting and demoralizing.”
