Here's a tool that shows ER wait times at reporting sites. This is based on real data from AHS without any approximations. As always, first contact 911 in the event of an emergency. This tool is for information only. erwaits.popab.ca/ #ableg #abpoli #abhealth

This is a lot of hospitals closed for a province with no healthcare worker shortage... #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Highly predictable and we knew this would come… To clarify they aren’t “elective”… they are very necessary “scheduled” surgeries… But this is the right move while emergency surgeries are delayed by days and ABs are dying in our ED WRs.

We have learned that over the next few days, Acute Care AB will be cancelling elective surgeries in Edmonton due to unsafe patient volumes. Those who have advocated for safe patient ratios and offered to work with the gov't are being given pink slips. #ableg #abhealth #yeg

While our goal is to have as many leaders around the table, higher ranking representatives will take precidence as we have to make sure this meeting does not exceed 90 minutes.

76% of Alberta physicians do not feel trusted or respected by the provincial government. Also, it has been 1,133 days since Danielle Smith promised to fix healthcare in 90 days. #ABHealth #ABPoli canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/11…

Quebec bleeds doctors, as Alberta invents new methods of overreach

Alberta’s project is qualitatively different. It goes further.

We don’t need an expert to know that when there’s one cashier open at Tim Hortons and you offer to pay to jump the line, there’s still a line. Albertans vehemently reject Adriana’s late-stage capitalist ideas that she’s grossly pitching as “new era”. #ableg #abhealth

Experts agree: dual-practice is a win for Canada’s health care system. Our province is taking bold steps to fix what’s broken and deliver timely, high quality care for Albertans, when and where they need it. In a new era of health care, we’re preserving universal access while adding choice through innovation. Read the Op-Ed here: edmontonjournal.com/opinion/…

If you aren’t looking at the UCP’s changes to healthcare today and wondering a little if she’s building in a ramp for her “health spending account idea”… You should probably look again. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

More than 25 years after eradicating the disease, Canada has lost its measles elimination status. It didn’t have to be this way. Full statement from Alberta Medical Association:

Teachers, you are not alone. We too are horrified by the actions of the Alberta government this week, dismissing your rights and sending you back to the same overcrowded, unsupported classrooms. We see you. We continue to fight with you. #ableg #abpoli #abed

TLDR: Young pt with Cardiac Arrest and 2 closest Rural EDs closed. Pt did not make it. Very traumatizing for the family and the EMS crew. (reposting as initial post seems to have been lost in the interwebs)
Parksy@PfParks11 Oct 2025
RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #2 - Pt in their 40s, witnessed cardiac arrest - EMS responds and begins resuscitation - Only mins from nearest Hospital, but the ED is CLOSED - Adjacent Hospital ED Closed too - EMS crew NOT aware of ED closures 1/7

Just a friendly reminder that @ABDanielleSmith wrote this column in 2018. These are her plans for public ed. #ableg #abpoli #abed @schill_dawg globalnews.ca/news/4067888/d…

Danielle Smith: Maybe we need to defund public schools | Globalnews.ca

Maybe every independent school needs to be fully funded and we need to phase out every government run, union-controlled public school more interested in indoctrinating students than teaching them...

Anything short of a full, transparent public inquiry is completely unacceptable. #ableg #abhealth

AB’s HC system is currently the most toxic and dysfunctional HC system one could possibly create… Skilled and experienced HC leaders are avoiding us like the plague… (something that may possibly recur in AB w our govt’s stance on vaccines)
Jon Meddings@JMeddings13 Sep 2025
This is just chilling. In any functional organization we all benefit from smart people stepping forward and making things better. By creating a health culture toxic to excellence the GoA is ensuring that quality of care diminishes. We will all suffer.

It's been over 8 months since govt fired the AHS CEO and the entire AHS Board... ostensibly to make things better, and to give govt more direct control over the HC system. An acting CEO and no Board, and things are demonstably worse on all acute care fronts. 1/6
