Living in a world where common sense is so rare that it is a superpower. Opinions are my own.

Alberta is an embarrassment. Shandro's response to the commission's ruling is not unexpected, but it underlines how desperately the UCP tries to push their narrative. 🤦‍♀️

Chu's shenanigans - both now and in the past - have resulted in loss of public trust and ability to represent his constituents in a meaningful fashion.
Will he have continued poor judgement, or will he finally do the honorable thing and step down?
An emoji says it all... 🤦‍♀️

'Freedom Convoy 2.0' being planned for February 2023
An organizer of the 'Freedom Convoy' says he's planning a reunion in Ottawa in February. James Bauder, the founder of Canada Unity, a group that called for an end to all vaccine mandates, posted on Facebook calling for a 'Freedom Convoy 2.0' Feb. 17 to 21 in Ottawa.
Privatization in health care 🤦‍♀️
Disaster for Alberta.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s plans for health care? Brace yourself for user fees, co-pays, privatization and sly de-listing - Alberta Politics
“Once people get used to the concept of paying out of pocket for more things themselves then we can change the conversation on health care.” — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith
@TheGentYYC Also Albertan here! I think I'm already on your other list.
@ned Rather embarrassing 🤦‍♀️
National parks, not provincial parks. Gate fees only make up a quarter of what they cost. Passes work across the country. They are not Smoth's personal cash cow.
Wonder if Alberta would like to also pony up the shortfall. 🤦‍♀️
@PaulSullivan
Quite often situations turn from bad to worse in transit to a hospital. Issues are not always clear - take early stages of anaphylaxis, during a stroke or even a heart attack. You don't want these folks in the back seat of an Uber when a situation takes a turn for the worse.
I will agree, however, that there is misuse of the 911 call center as folks use the number to report a delayed transit bus, but these calls are already appropriately dealt with.
@PaulSullivan A 911 dispatcher does not have the expertise or training to triage nuances of medical situations. A flow chart is insufficient. There are a lot of folks who are reluctant to call 911 even in a critical situation today.
Current levels of triage at 911 lead to the death of an 80 year old Calgary woman earlier this year when they decided EMS wasn't necessary.
What's next - using high school graduates to perform triage in the emergency room?
