@shauncurtis1971.bsky.social:
I do remember vividly the NDP saying that [UCP] were going to do this and their claims being written off as “fear and smear”. I also recall Batshit Smith standing in front of a sign that said “Public Health Guarantee”.
me too, I also remember NDP being pathetically weak in their campaign, embarrassing actually, like they were being paid to let Nazi Smith win. NDP in Alberta are cons too, just more humane than UCP cons

“This could end Canadian medicare as we know it.”
“That’s the chilling conclusion of a recent report on Alberta’s push to create a privatized, U.S.-style health care system in the province.”

@starlightwishes.bsky.social:
Privatization means ONLY THE RICH will get healthcare.
Whatever lies they tell you, THAT is the Truth.
@rockymountaincat.bsky.social:
Harper removing the part of the Health Act that suspended federal reimbursements for services billed by private facilities was your first clue this was coming.
Restoring it might help.
@ynot57.bsky.social:
This woman and her cabinet are corrupt. She is in tight with the Republican Party. Every thing she does is a page out of the maga play book. She wants to run Alberta like an American state. I wish Albertans would open their eyes.
@calgarycanuck.bsky.social:
Only a psychopath would take away universal healthcare. Just sayin. So
@mark-carney.bsky.social what are you going to do about it?Are you kidding? Carney’s destroying Canada’s Health Care more than Smith is. I believe they serve Harper, Trump, big polluters, and the rich, not Canada or Canadians
@truthseeker73863.bsky.social:

@flinterr.bsky.social:
Where’s the federal government on this issue? Clearly MIA. Should be investigating as a failure under health act. People in Alberta don’t seem to care about this issue.Con voting Albertans in my view, are the most selfish apathetic people in Canada, deeply devoutly Repuglican, hate Canada, love America, hateful hate-filled love polluters super christians happily letting their kids get poisoned by sour gas and or frac’ing because dad’s job in the patch pays well, and he didn’t even have to finish high school, and because god says so, and isn’t it great to hate the marginalized, notably immigrants and women.
@augustina.bsky.social:
This is fucking insane. I do accounting for a US subsidiary, and I cannot believe the premiums in the US. We pay up to $1200 a month per person for health insurance. Even if they hate working for us, they’re not going anywhere because we pay their insurance in full. Do you want that to be your life?
And a couple of our guys with families? We don’t cover the families. If the wife isn’t working, for one spouse and one child, we have one fellow paying an additional $1850 a month. Think about that, just take a second to think that through.
You are being suckered Alberta.
@lynnerdutton.bsky.social:
And what makes the news is Premier Smith insinuating herself in Calgary Stampede beer tent decibels, inserting herself as chief of censorship in libraries, and enabler of separatists #ABpoli #PublicHealthCare
@randomalbertan.bsky.social:
I can’t fucking stand the stupid UCP government. I can’t stand the fucking idiots that voted for them. I’m tired of this timeline we are in where people CONSTANTLY VOTE AGAINST THEIR OWN INTERESTS. ITS SO FUCKING TIRING!!!!!!!All my life, humans have been cruel greedy selfish toxic polluting raping usually hate-filled fucks like the Alberta separatists but now, as more and more humans realize we are destroying life on earth, notably for today’s kids, the greed is wildly out of control. It’s like humans don’t give a shit about other species, or this magnificent planet, they just want more more more more … more money, bigger truck, bigger house, more holidays, more steaks, more sex, more more fucking more. Carney, Harper and Smith are some of the worst greed mongers in Canada.
@ringingangel.bsky.social:
Exactly how should we stop them? Smith has a majority government that can pass whatever legislation they want regardless of opposition from Albertans. The UCP has destroyed our healthcare ( and more). The UCP have blood on their hands. I only hope Albertans make a wiser choice next election.They won’t if they could, rural Albertans control the vote, and the majority of them ALWAYS fucking vote con, always, no matter what shit con is running, and most likely won’t have any chance to because Smith is copying Trump’s gerrymandering, changing the ridings that always vote NDP, to turn them into always voting Con. Petro States like Alberta and Texas turn their people stupid, super religious and much more greedy than most humans.
… I’ve tried both sides of the politeness and rude spectrum. I’ve learned the UCP simply don’t care. I’ve read they have a document similar to Project 2025 and they are about half way through their plan. The UCP needs to go!!

Stephen Harper is celebrating in the shadows.I think he’s running the destroy Canada show
And he’s also overseeing pensions in Alberta, isn’t he?

Carney decreased health transfer to provinces by 2% from 5 down to 3%
First Ministers meeting set for this week.
all except Smith want to talk Health Care Transfers.
so, friend Trump puts on new tariffs.
guess it was easy for Carney to refuse to protect the Canada Health Act with silence.
@geeoflac.bsky.social:
Where the hell is Canada’s Health Minister, and why is she not enforcing the Canada Health Act?? Just another Harper con, she’s all in on Carney destroying our health care across Canada, she wouldn’t give two fucks about Smith destroying it for ordinary Albertans.
@shredgnarly.bsky.social:
She’s holding the door open for the American nightmare to come to Canada.
@sean05evans.bsky.social:
Gawd she is such a traitor to the values and ethics of all Canadians.So was Mulroney, and Harper, haters of democracy, lovers of the raping genocidal American Epstein Class. In my view, Carney is a much worse traitor to Canada and Canadians than Smith and Harper combined
@battleax-70.bsky.social:
Over time I have come to realize as an American who has traveled in & had close kodas in Canada ?
Danille Smith is Trump’s cousin.
@nigelswedenborg.bsky.social:
This October’s raft of referendums is going to be the Rubicon moment for this province.
My money is on Smith tallying up the votes in favour of the seppos, then inviting an American invasion.Mine too, just like McClure verifying their fraudulent signatures after the voter data breach, piece of Nazi shit that he is, enabling the fucking separatists and Smith’s abuses of the rest of us.
And once upon a time I’d have thought myself paranoid for seriously thinking like this.
@daisydh.bsky.social:
The most unCanadian government ever. Guess it’s time to move to Mexico where they are introducing public health care.

As Alberta goes, so goes Sask and Ontario. We could be sunk if this isn’t stopped.

Then say the quiet part out loud. The doctors who are willing to turn a profit as active participants in this outcome. It doesn’t happen unless all the players are in the game.

To this PM, big oil matters, and your health very much does not.
This colossal cut to health care will almost cover a new publicly funded pipeline & expanding fossil fuel infrastructure on a west coast port. Handouts to climate non-solution CCS will require further cuts.
…
In an effort to appease Alberta separatists, Carney has just announced a new pipeline.
It’ll be 90% publicly funded, because the business case isn’t remotely good enough for private investors to fund it. A very expensive stranded-asset-to-be.
Fucking evil look on Carney’s smug mug. JFC, what a hideous anti-earth anti-life Nazi he is, and worse, many of my fellow Canadians are also Nazi, worshipping him and loving his destruction of what makes Canada great.
@holtscat.bsky.social:
Our PM/CEO is using the private equity playbook – treating our most precious public assets as bait for foreign investors. Privatized healthcare is hugely profitable for a handful of PE firms in the USA. Carney is inviting these predators in to destroy Canadians’ lives.
@corviddone.bsky.social:
Bingo. While Carney was vice chair of Brookfield Asset Management, they were looting Australia’s second largest health network. It is wild to me that Canadian media has let that slide.
‘They’ve trashed the joint’: Disastrous takeover sealed Healthscope’s demise, The Healthscope collapse has exposed the often-conflicting goals between government responsibility for health services and subsidised, but privately run, institutions looking to maximise profit.

Federal officials were lobbied nearly 4,000 times in June, according to registry data. The organization leading the pack for number of reports was the newly renamed Oil Sands Alliance. Formerly Pathways Alliance, the Oil Sands Alliance is made up of major oil and gas companies Canadian Natural, Cenovus, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial Oil and Suncor. …

So many trolls claimed that Carney was way better than Poilievre.Pee Pee is cringe, stupid, and annoying, but he’s not as evil as Carney is.
