Alberta is in a battle against, not Conservatives but against a force that has been growing in the shadows for many years - Christian Nationalists. They are completely unlike politicians we’ve encountered in my lifetime up to Harper. #abpoli #womenagainstucp
1/
These are not people entering politics to serve the public. They are not even corrupt and self-serving as their primary intent (although lots are that); they are people who intend to impose an authoritarian rulership in Canada.
2/
They intend to privatize everything and create a class of people who live in poverty and are thankful for low paying wages in order to have a job at all.
It is the corporate oligarchs they serve.
3/
And the cruellest cut of all, they’ve manipulated the lower classes, unions, and people who will be hurt most by privatization to support them.
This is a political fight that, if we lose, will change the substance of Canada for our lifetime, or longer.
4/
There are classic symptoms of a failure of governance:

1) Corruption
2) Lack of accountability
3) Injustice
4) Inefficiency
5) Instability
6) Lack of transparency

I've seen every single one of these in Alberta in the last 4 years

Kenney destroying healthcare is just one part of the choices he is making. He can set up the field hospitals, but staffing them is going to be a different matter. Kenney needed to do a lot of things to prevent this massive tragedy. /1
First he needed to NOT politicize the pandemic and he should have taken Dr. Hinshaw’s advice, not spin it in caucus. Next he needed to match the federal
government subsidies to top up wages of minimum wage front line workers, as well as subsidies for small business.
/2
He should NOT have given $4.2 million dollars to the NHL.
He needed to put in a provincial mask mandate and implement a two week lockdown 3 weeks ago, when numbers started to surge.
He should not have disappeared for three weeks.

FROM NURSE GRACE IN EDMONTON:

Management just informed us today that AHS is starting phase 1 of its pandemic staffing response in Edmonton. They are re-deploying certain staff to different units or even different sites entirely across the city .../1
The goal is to adequately supply manpower for the additional beds taken up by COVID patients. They are also overhauling nursing care provision. On my unit, nurses will now have an 8:1 patient to nurse ratio on days, and 12:1 patient to nurse ratio on nights. /2
Currently on my unit, it’s 4:1 and 6:1 respectively. /3

From National Observer:

Things are not going well in Alberta.

Despite the efforts of Premier Jason Kenney to put as much of the burden for preventing the spread in his province on individuals, case counts are hitting daily records.
/1
Nearly 1,700 Albertans tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday.

Masks aren’t mandatory throughout the province, and Kenney isn’t keen on making the eventual vaccine mandatory either. Hospitals in the province are having to ration oxygen — oxygen! the stuff we breathe! /2
—as beds and ICUs fill up with COVID-19 patients, straining the health system.
So, what’s a province to do?

The answer is pretty grim, I’m afraid. Alberta has asked the federal government and the Red Cross for field hospitals to be at the ready.

Jason Kenney says Albertans are in for a ‘fiscal reckoning’.

The NDP Deficit, projected at $6,700,000,000, grew to $12,100,000,000 pre-pandemic under his government and is currently projected at $24,200,000,000.
Lower revenue from taxes, resources & gaming, the pandemic and global oil price crash are blamed. Here are examples of excessive government spending & proposed spending, extensive borrowing, risky investments, cronyism & poorly conceived decisions impacting Alberta’s economy:  /2
Jason Kenny has 19 personal staff earning a total of $2.9 million annually. Ten of these positions did not previously exist. Each of Alberta’s 22 cabinet ministers have 2 personal paid staff. /3
