I don’t wish this on any fellow Canadian.
I do not wish it on them either, but I have no sympathy for what essentially is a self-inflicted problem
That’s oddly specific.
Maybe if the healthcare system wasn’t gutted time and time again by Kenney, if most hospitals weren’t running skeleton crews this wouldn’t be happening. Maybe if we weren’t firing perfectly capable nurses because of a preference that s wouldn’t be happening.
now all kenney has to do is get a provincial sales tax dammit.
This is what Alberta voted for. This conservatives for you
The Delta will hit Eastern Canada hard soon .
@Bye-bye Trudeau it already has, genius
@Duke Dex I voted ppc. Gonna do the same again. My conscience isn’t and won’t be guilty.
This is a very sad time for Canada.
@Itsaboutcontrol How so? I agree that our health care system is in complete collapse. We could have and should have navigated through this better. –
And we all owe that to conservatives, and their brother PPC !
@AllSaints Academy if they didn’t actively suppress early treatments that are PROVEN to work, they wouldn’t be in this problem right now
@Mike Ray There is much they could have done to prevent where we are right now … indeed!
Yes, it truly is…
Guess we’re gonna need those auto-docs sooner rather than later…
Two years to prepare. Designed to fail.
Can it happen in the other Provinces as well ? It’s real Scary .
Yes but the other provinces other than Saskatchewan have all smartened up
Fortunately most provinces have better leadership
Thank you Sir Kenny…..your kingdom is crumbling.
Tell me about it! The ambulances where I live are non stop
@Annette Melnychuk yah…..but others are saying hospitals are empty…..EMS must be taking them elsewhere…🤨🤨
“Cherry picking data” is the Kenny and UCP’s mantra during this pandemic
Can anyone tell me what she is referring to when she says that last story? Just curious and i cant find a clip of it on YouTube?
One was an interview with a kidney and cancer patient who were told life saving treatment will not be affected only to be told their treatments were cancelled! The kidney was about to have a kidney transplant and the day of his surgery he was told it was postponed. I will see if I can find the link but I can’t promise you if I will be able to find it
This is what happens when the pandemic isn’t taken seriously.
Wah wah wah, let’s call you a wambulance.
@Jonathan Gould Very mature, Jonathan.
Yep the “Trumpers” are out In full force protesting in full force daily, survival of the fittest, if they must get sick LET EM. unfortunately, you cannot fix stupid 😒
@Diana Wilson
Haha fool Baaaa Baaaa, go look for yourself empty hospitals
That’s the look of depression.
More like complete defeat
Let’s face it.. We suck in a crisis..
This also means that those who require “non-urgent” surgery, needs to wait until their “non-urgent” sugeries become urgent / decreasing their time for life, needing further health care or support putting more strain on the government. All this knowing that anti-vaxers are a known cause. Beyond my comprehension.
Its been going on before the pandemic, wake up
Yes it is beyond your comprehension
@Jebo Teya it is beyond my comprehension. I am an educated Canadian who can’t figure out you and your type!
@tobias1959 yes. It happened long ago. How long conservatives are fooling Alberta?
Duke Dex if you still think this is about a virus, then you are far less educated than you think
War zone medicine episode 4
The healthcare system has always been overwhelmed. Nothing new here.
Kenny..DERELICTION OF DUTY
CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE causing death
THESE should definitely be explored..
“social healthcare”.
Wild wild west….thanks Kenney boy.
It has been on the verge of collapse for years, at even given time prior to covid the hospitals in that province were at 95% occupancy. Study done in 2016 showed this. I guess it fell on deaf ears.
That’s insane
This is what happens when you have a “right-wing” approach to healthcare and the wellbeing of the public at large. The idea that caring for the needy is not in the public’s best interest is ridiculous. Kenny and his cronies have set Alberta back decades……next step…. cry for help to Ottawa the way they do when oil prices go down and they feel hard done by! The anti-vaxxers have created this and Kenny’s govt has enabled it.
