5 - The UCP War room guided by three ministers of the crown appears to be using taxpayers dollars to prop up conservative PAC’s and data mine Canadians for them.

6 - At some point, one would think that the @UCPCaucus might recognize that one of the things that this government needs to rebuild most is simply Albertans trust in them.

Instead, they belittle them.

This is where we are.

There’s some stunning info in the new @ParklandInst report on surgeries in Alberta…

And it seems pretty clear that private for profit surgeries are choking out the public system.

(Link will be in last post)

Thread!

To start with, procedures in privately owned, for profit but funded with taxpayer dollars have increased by 55%.

Sounds good right?

The payments of taxpayer dollars have gone up 179%!

179%!

And procedures are costing 79% more!

/2 Image
But while for profit companies are getting more money and getting paid more for procedure…

Per capita funding for hospital spending in Alberta has dropped!

So we’re hugely increasing spending in the “for profit” sector and effectively cutting public non profit healthcare!

So what’s the Cole’s notes of the corrupt care scandal?

Strap in!

Because there’s a lot!

/1
Back in the early days of the pandemic, hundreds of millions of dollars of PPE and masks from a company that previously had worked in oilfield.

Allegedly, some of those masks gave healthcare workers rashes and made them sick…

/2 Image
That didn’t stop that company from selling AHS hundreds of millions of dollars of more PPE.

According to the NDP, much of that was placed in storage as it wasn’t usable.

As promised here is Day 1 of “A Document a Day!”

Or…

When is “fully paid up front”…

Not?

Here, we have a recently completed FOIP we did where we asked for a list of everything AHS has ever purchased from MHCare!

There’s a lot of stuff!

Did you know about the millions of COVID tests? 

(We didn’t)

Maybe that explains why some tests were branded so much like the Parol?

Anyways, it’s the page with the most recent purchases that caught our eye!

Because here you can see the December purchases of the ibuprofen and acetaminophen…

But wait!

There are good people still in government.

How do we know?

After our episode on the skybox network, we received a number of documents.

Today’s Globe & Mail report is prompting us to release one.

If authentic, they show direct govt intervention on behalf of ASG.

#abpoli

/1
If authentic, this is the first page of a ministerial order signed by Adriana Lagrange declaring that because of the disintegration of AHS, government would be mandating Chartered Surgical Facilities.

/2 Image
The second page further clarifies, defines and mandates that AHS will follow government direction on the contracting of Chartered Surgical Facilities.

So…

Since we’re all living in the end times now…

And we know that media “outlets” and content creators are getting money from the UCP and the provincial government…

It feels like maybe it’s time to talk about Mark from Toronto.

#abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli Image
Because…

We have some questions.

And some more questions…

SPECIAL FOIP THREAD!

A few months ago on an unplanned visit to the Counter Signal, we noticed something weird and oddly familiar.

Banner ads advertising for the Government of Alberta.

Not dissimilar from the ones that the Western Standard runs...

/1 Image
You might remember that we FOIP'ed the Western Standard ads and while we didn't get how much money the Alberta Government sent to the Western Standard, we did get a list of the campaigns.

/2 Image
So we were pretty sure that the Counter Signal was also getting some money sent their way.

So we did what we do and filed another FOIP!

And boy did we get a response!
