Danielle Smith promised to protect public health care in the election, but it’s clear every day that the UCP just wants American-style private health care.

Alberta's 17th Premier @rachelnotley.bsky.social published an excellent op-ed in the Globe and Mail about how the UCP is putting democracy at risk with their attempt to rig the election.
It is well worth the read:

“This is not going to address the problems that we have with access. The govt is in charge of access and they could open up different facilities to reduce the backlog, but instead they’re going this approach and I think that’s unfortunate.”
@albertadoctors.bsky.social president Dr. Brian Wirzba.
"... By inserting itself in a process in which it should have no part, one can’t help but wonder what ulterior motives lurk behind this subversion of the democratic process."

Surely, this isn't the Alberta 'Advantage' Smith keeps mentioning.
It's time to take real action to make life more affordable for Albertans.
The UCP said they would respect the findings of the independent Boundaries Commission ... until they didn't like the results.
Now, they're ignoring the experts, who consulted with thousands of Albertans, to push through a map that would steal your vote and rig the election.
Today, Danielle Smith and the UCP caucus unveiled plans to rig the next election:
A new motion indicates the UCP's plans to manipulate the election maps for the next election in their favour, and without any requirement to consult the public.
This has never been done in Canadian history. /1
Real Albertans and PROUD Canadians.
Fighting back and standing up against separatism.

“Albertans feel every cent when they fill up,” said @naheednenshi.bsky.social
“Families and business owners are doing the math at the pump and wondering what they’re going to cut next. Dropping the provincial gas tax is one clear, practical way the government can help today.”
Albertans need relief at the pumps. It's why we're calling on the government to remove the provincial gas tax.
That’s 13 cents per litre, or $300+ a year for the average family.
This simple measure would provide relief for businesses, in agriculture, truckers, and anyone who commutes by car.
An independent commission did its job and delivered fair electoral maps.
But Danielle Smith and the UCP want to ignore them and redraw the map.
They think they need to cheat to win.
The government should accept those maps, without question.
Don’t let them take your vote and your voice.

We love our province AND our country, and we’re ready to fight back against separatism and the rhetoric putting it all at risk.
For Alberta, For Canada is for everyone who wants to take action ahead of an upcoming separatism referendum.
I’m ready to fight like hell for this country, and against anyone trying to tear it apart.
The richest man in the world wants Canada to become the 51st state and is now amplifying Alberta separatism.
So let’s ask the question:
Who is funding this movement?
Albertans deserve to know.

She's ready. Alberta's New Democrats are ready.

What Alberta needs right now is stability.
You don’t get to call yourself pro-democracy while rewriting the rules to stay in power.
An independent commission did the work. The UCP’s job is to accept their recommendation.
Anything else is blatant Trump-style gerrymandering.

Reporting from the Globe and Mail shows yet more evidence of this government’s cheating and dishonest behaviour.

To the UCP: stop the excuses, work with front line providers, and invest in security and health care staff. #abhealth #ableg #abpoli
…and do something about it. They refused and said everything was fine. Everything is not fine!
To the patients and staff who witnessed this: you deserve better. To the patient who was attacked: you should be safe in our hospitals.
Last night, a patient was stabbed while waiting for care in the Royal Alex emergency waiting room. About 50 people witnessed the attack, from doctors to nurses to other patients. It was violent and terrifying.
Over a month ago, we called on the UCP to debate the state of emergency department care…
Power-hungry, shameless gerrymandering from the UCP.
We won't let them cheat to win.
Under Danielle Smith and the UCP, Albertans are paying more and getting less.
This government's "fiscal management" is a joke, but no one's laughing.
