We have learned that over the next few days, Acute Care AB will be cancelling elective surgeries in Edmonton due to unsafe patient volumes.
Those who have advocated for safe patient ratios and offered to work with the gov't are being given pink slips.

A readout will be provided after the meeting.
While our goal is to have as many leaders around the table, higher ranking representatives will take precidence as we have to make sure this meeting does not exceed 90 minutes.
We have called an “All Hands” meeting of labour, healthcare, civil service, and advocacy leaders for Friday at 5pm.
If you fall into this category and did not receive an invitation email, please DM us.

Teachers, you are not alone. We too are horrified by the actions of the Alberta government this week, dismissing your rights and sending you back to the same overcrowded, unsupported classrooms. We see you. We continue to fight with you.

OK I'm going to try and understand the covid vaccine process in Alberta as I currently understand it. Pharmacies will not be able to give out vaccines, as per the gov't. But pharmacies are currently taking orders for all comers and giving them today.

Reupping this article from @thetyee.ca from 2021.
"When governments play with viral fires, it is ordinary citizens, including our unvaccinated children, that get burned."

CORRECTION: the notice we received was in error and was from last year, despite the event itself being in the future, they must copy and paste their event descriptions.
Sorry for the confusion!
We’re hearing there is a #Shigella outbreak in the Beltline #yyc.
Why hasn’t there been any public messaging about this?

It needs to be recognized and internalized - Albertans take their very first and very last breaths in our hospitals.
Adriana LaGrange and Danielle Smith have no place politicizing these spaces.
The HCWs that staff our hospitals are not pawns. They are life's caretakers.

Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) except she was wrong about those numbers too.

Wow... not only are we paying more for these for-profit chartered facilities, they're only taking the low-risk cases.
Also, this is the complete opposite of what Danielle Smith stated in that most recent presser.
Can she ever tell the truth?

*NEW* AHS v138.0 - AHS Weekly ICU Numbers - Updated TODAY 1/7 - Currently *210* Admitted (+11) w/ 224 (2 SURGE Beds) 94% FULL! HIGHEST SINCE DEC 18/23! Lets get this 'Unofficial CMOH Update on it's been **808** days since DS said '90 Days and fixed!" Thread going! Buckle up! /1
So we can afford to spend $250,000 for Danielle Smith to party it up in Washington but we can’t afford children’s eye exams.
What’s that shiny lapel pin say again, Lagrange?

We think we're going to like it here.
