Common Sense is my Super PowerPolitical interference. Alberta health services is supposed to be arms length from the government. Firing the board and appointing an administrator who reports directly to Smith and Copping removes the veneer of independence. (Although it is not the first time a Conservative government has played this card).
I don't have a great deal of faith in having a 911 operator triage health care needs. Ontario recently started shipping people across the province if they needed a long term bed. This fractured support systems and made life harder for patients. Alberta seems to be on the same road as they plan to transfer surgeries across the province and push towards private suppliers paid by the public purse.
