I never thought I would leave Alberta. I’ve lived in the US,Australia & BC but Alberta has always felt like home.Yes, even a minority immigrant female can be a prairie girl at heart. Under the UCP, my husband and I are seriously considering leaving. We are both physicians. Thread
My sister is a physician. My brother in law is a physician. My sister in law is a physician. We all live in Alberta and we are alarmed by the rapid dismantling of our health, education, and social systems. The UCP values profit over people,
Corporations over community, and autocracy over discourse and collaboration. And it’s not just our leadership - how can we live amongst UCP supporters that espouse these values? We want to raise our children in a community that values diversity, inclusivity,
And YES, critical thinking. We haven’t left yet. For now, let’s stand together, and say it louder for our kids and our province - we value mutual respect, we value governments that listen, and citizens who care about each other. We value COMMUNITY.
