Kenney and his cronies need to take a pay cut, not the nurses. Talk about poor timing.
I don’t think you grasp the temperature in Alberta.
Totally agree
Maybe they should do another dancing Tik Tok video to explain how hard done by they are. Stunning and brave
Disgusting! Cut Kenney’s salary entirely. Vote him out!
He is the most incompetent leader ever.
Kenny is a disgrace to Alberta
Wtf??? Our nurses?Really??! Pay them more!!!Tax the rich more!!
What a slap in the face!
Alberta is not in the “middle of the pack”… why compare with Nunavut? lol
Territories don’t count as being part of Canada?
@sparkee666 Not in healthcare spending since the feds manage it
Unbelievable. Time for Kenney et Al to find a new job!
One of the many reason nurses came to work in Alberta was for the higher pay compared to other provinces. If the pay is reduced to be like every other province in Canada, what incentive are there for nurses to stay in Alberta??
Alberta was rolling in money during the last boom which is why the wages were higher than in other provinces. Like other businesses the wages have to be rolled back to reflect the current economic reality in Alberta. The timing of a rollback is what needs to be addressed, not the rollback itself.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t it just look like a higher pay because of differing taxes in Alberta?
@Mustbe Aweful you might be correct, I’m not sure.
Unbelievable!! Who would want to cut nurses in the middle of a pandemic??? Cause we are not out of the wood yet…
This guy is unbelievable.
Is this how we thank our nurses after a year and a half of covid? How about Kenney takes a pay cut instead ?
Give every nurse that worked during the pandemic a 2 week paid mental / physical health vacation recuperation break. And leave wages where they are or higher.
Lol. Thanks to our frontline workers & heres a pay cut – Kenney
Tear down are health care more
I stand with rights for nurses
If he tries this, he is gone.
Nurses will walked away and suffocate this government.
A criminal who came to pretend to be a premier
Anti workers what a disappointment to elect this government .
The politicians need a pay cut. Workers need a raise.
Well family doctors took a 25% cut
Isn’t state capitalism fun……
