Why? Do we learn nothing?

Public health is the biggest 'bang for buck' thing that healthcare has. It is prevention. An ounce is worth a pound of cure..

Minister Ric McIver, I believe potholes are now your responsibility since you just gleefully passed Bill 20.

Also, looking forward to seeing the new UCP slogan on bumpers across Alberta:

Yesterday, I introduced Bill 212: The Organ and Tissue Donor Information Agreement Act. This legislation will enable Albertans to receive information about becoming donors through their tax returns, helping those waiting for transplants. I hope all members support this critical

Cancer patients in Alberta wait up to 13 weeks for radiation oncologists and 8 weeks for medical oncologists, far beyond the 4-week target. Since 2018, only 5 additional oncologists beyond replacements have been added, and there's no additional treatment space. Edmonton urgently
