Imo, it is BAU of the #ABLeg: gifting the #oil / #gas industry with billions of #Albertans' tax dollars in exchange for paying almost nothing to extract oil and leave messes for #ABgov to not clean up at great expense.

In short, it looks like #AB is being scammed.

But hey, I am not responsible for checking on this and ensuring it is not happening.

The #UCP is.

Something that I've noticed at hospital Emergency Departments in #Alberta recently... they no longer display the anticipated wait time to see a doctor.

Yeah, those nine hour wait times aren't exactly encouraging.

I have not given my name or contact information to the #Alberta #UCP so imagine my confusion when I receive phone calls, text messages, emails and letter mail from them.. Most being BS propaganda, but many asking for my support.
Where did they get my info? 🤔

sudden urge to email-blast all UCP MLA's, calling every last one of them a "mother****r"

(I'm not usually like that. Context for those lucky enough to not be in AB: https://www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/article/calgary-mla-tanya-fir-apologizes-for-swearing-on-leaked-voicemail/ )

it's OK you guys, I'll just issue a half-assed "sorry I got caught" apology tomorrow. for disrespecting the people. Which I am supposed to REPRESENT.

Increased spending to pay for the profit portion being added to costs doesn't count as investment in health care.

Speaking of stupid crap #ABgov is pulling: By now many if you know that #AISH recipients were all forced to apply for the Federal Canada Disability Benefit which would provide up to $200/mo to qualifying #DisabledCanadians and which #Alberta is clawing back, dollar for dollar.

What I didn't realise is that this is being managed federally similar to a tax credit, so pays from July 2025 through June 2026 inclusive.

Which also means recipients get a lump sum payment for prior months to whenever they were accepted.

Sometime after you provide AISH with proof of your #CDB, they will then have the collections dept contact you to "recover" this overpayment from the prior months' "overpayment."

So for goodness sake, set that lump sum aside and don't touch it until uou can just send it to them, or they will be deducting significantly MORE per month than JUST the regular monthly Federal benefit.

Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta publishes report to provincial government on how to develop a framework governing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in Alberta https://oipc.ab.ca/office-of-the-information-and-privacy-commissioner-publishes-report-to-provincial-government-on-how-to-develop-a-framework-governing-use-of-artificial-intelligence-ai-in-alberta/

I read this and it seems well-reasoned. I hope the #ABGov takes it to heart.

Ouch. Unintended consequences here - I agree the #ABGov should at *least* waive those storage fees!
