The COVID-19 public health emergency has forced the postponement of the Global Energy Show in Calgary.

The event was to draw 30,000 visitors from all over the world and serve as a major draw to attract international investment to our industry. 1/5 #ableg #yyc

If Jason Kenney and the UCP had been more prudent in their reopening decisions and acted sooner to address the surging fourth wave of COVID-19 the event may have been able to go ahead. 2/5 #ableg #yyc

Instead, workers, businesses, and our global reputation have been harmed by the negligence of a government that went into hiding. 3/5 #ableg #yyc

First, my deepest condolences to the loved ones of the 24 Albertans who died of COVID over the past day. This appalling death toll and the human suffering of those infected and those denied critical healthcare was preventable. 1/14 #ableg #abhealth

This is a crisis of the Premier’s own making. Neither he nor Dr. Hinshaw explained why they have failed to act for weeks when it was obvious something had to be done. 2/14 #ableg #abhealth

And while in one short breath Jason Kenney offered an apology, in many others, he made even more excuses, he talked up his own record... 3/14 #ableg #abhealth

We lost 72 Albertans in the past week alone.

That is a hard truth to confront.

Besides those in the greatest danger, there are hundreds upon hundreds more in the hospital. 1/5 #ableg #abhealth

And there are still hundreds more Albertans whose life-saving surgeries have been cancelled because our hospitals are overrun.

The frontline heroes who work in those hospitals are sounding the alarm that the healthcare system as a whole is nearing collapse. 2/5 #ableg

And outside our hospitals extremists and conspiracy theorists are harassing healthcare workers and people seeking medical attention.

I have never seen a crisis on this scale in Alberta in my career, or in my entire life. 3/5 #ableg #abhealth

🧵 As we learn 53 Albertans have had their orthopedic surgeries cancelled at the Royal Alexandra Hospital as the hospital has run out of doctors... let's take a look at the mess Jason Kenney has made in health care. 1/6

According to AHS, there are 163 beds closed in dozens of hospitals across the province due to critical staffing shortages. That's from their own map: albertahealthservices.ca/br/Page17594.a… 2/6

There are operating theatres closed at the University of Alberta Hospital.

There are delayed surgeries at Northern Lights Regional Health Centre in Fort McMurray.

We have lost obstetric services in Whitecourt, Barrhead and Sundre. 3/6

So… be warned. Small rant incoming. Settle in. It’s about economic growth, equity, and investing in our future with the greatest (and most obvious) wisdom possible.
#ableg #abfuture 1/17

It’s about childcare and Jason Kenney’s deeply ideological and also… stupid… betrayal of young families in Alberta.. and the economic growth upon which we are all pinning our hopes. #ableg #abfuture 2/17

Here’s the thing… more and more economists around the world agree that childcare is the single best way for a government to grow its economy (on dollar for dollar return on investment basis.. for all the bean counters among you 😉). #ableg #abfuture 3/17

Today, one in three Albertans you meet are not fully vaccinated. And this number is higher depending on where you live.

This is concerning.

1/15 #ableg #abhealth

And yet the government is removing the tools that our frontline health care providers, and all Albertans, rely on to keep themselves informed of COVID in our communities.

2/15 #ableg #abhealth

Now, it appears that rising hospital admissions will be our only concrete signal that things are getting out of hand.

Hospitals that are more stretched than ever before will now be asked to serve as the last line of defence in emergency surveillance. 3/15 #ableg #abhealth
