I want to answer a question that Jason Kenney clearly didn’t understand this week.

And that question is: What do you say to the frontline healthcare workers heading to work today?
1/7 #ableg #abhealth

My message to these workers is that I am incredibly grateful for the immense sacrifices you have made and are still making … and I know the overwhelming majority of Albertans are grateful as well.

I hear you when you say you are in crisis. 2/7 #ableg #abhealth

Just as you have shown up for us, it is our job to show up for you, and do everything we can to help.

I know that you have worked incredibly hard for more than a year and half of this pandemic. 3/7 #ableg #abhealth

I know you have sacrificed time with your own families to care for others.

I know you have been through heartache almost every single day. 4/7 #ableg #abhealth

I know you have been asked to care for more critically ill patients at the same time than you should as your hospital becomes more and more crowded.

I know that you have endured trauma and that you need to hear that some relief is in sight. 5/7 #ableg #abhealth

And I can only imagine how infuriating it is to know that this crisis was avoidable.

I promise you that your courage and professionalism will not be forgotten.

No, your courage and professionalism is EXACTLY what is giving Albertans strength and hope when they need it most.

Don’t give up. Alberta needs you.

We will get through this together. 7/7 #ableg #abhealth
