No.. they voted against an unconstitutional request.. private members cannot table bills that include gov spending.. the GoC, regardless of party, cannot force provincial participation. Douglas knew this when he worked with both Feds & prov govs for Uni Healthcare, why don't you?
So sick of the grandstanding... this is not how we achieve important legislation.. not even close. Singh could be lobbying provincial leaders to partipate and endorse Universal Phara, much like Douglas did with Unis health, he would rather put on a reality TV show production.. 🤬
They didn't vote no to Universal Pharma.. they voted no to your cherry picked data, unconstitutional request.. dont like how the constitution works.. call it out... don't ask government to ignore it when its in favor of your platform. Such BS.
Constitutional challenges.. you need 7 provinces with 51% of Canadas pop.. you want to take away prov constitutions with 7 con ran provinces with over 51% of the countries population.. not gonna happen. Negotiations & pressure from prov voters is how Unipharm happens, period.
"The government hasnt even approached the provinces.." when major news of 2019 has been erased by covid...

For a government so concerned with mental health during covid, let me share my professional experience with you over the last 72 hours.. my phone has rung non stop since the UCP parties travel was exposed.. clients in distress, angry, anxiety attacks, crying uncontrollably 1/
The feelings of betrayal, feelings of being manipulated, disrespected, forgotten. Triggering traumas, feelings of being mentally and emotionally abused by their government. Some asking what's the point, experincing suicidal thoughts! With every action the UCP makes 2/
There is a reaction.. one that is blatantly disregarded & ignored, brushed off as an error in judgement.. that it's no big deal laws werent broken. I have never experienced a more incompetent provincial government, who's words mean very little as their actions are opposite 3/
.@jasonluan88@jkenney All 3 of these centers are pay for service centers, with limited subsidies available, unlike recovery beds through AHS.. will these new beds be free to clients or subsidized? Asking because we all know a large issue with seeking recovery is inability to pay
Will they also be providing a detox component or are clients expected to get themselves sober for a period of time before the can be admitted? Again I ask because we know that detox is an important part of the recovery model.. so, is it included with this investment?
Is there a limit as to how long a patient can remain in the care of one of these centers? This would also be relevant to "are" clients getting these beds for free or are you just subsidizing expansion and a few more beds for these centres.. will SK be assisting funding for Lloyd?
Just a reminder of who runs Unite Albertas SM accounts... Ezra Levants ex producer at Sun News Media Matt Wolf and Nick Koolsbergen, Harpers Director of Issue Management.. If Alberta isnt in business anymore... how are all these SoCons employeed *cough Brad Wall cough* #Ableg
2) If you all don't know who Jason Kenney's Chief of Staff, Nick Koolsberg is... let me give you a brief tour (ignore the fact he lives in hoodies, no need for that distraction)..
