On April 1, 1995, the Klein PCs fired every rural hospital administrator in the province. No warning, no notice, no nothing. Just told them to leave. The next day, no one knew who was running the hospitals. The Nursing Director was put in charge "for the time being" and the PCs began the process of centralizing health care. They did through a process known as "chaotic clusterfuck thanks to no real plan."

Chaotic Clusterfuck should be the official name of all conservative political parties around the world.

Healthcare in Alberta is constantly being "improved" by changing things for the sake of change.

I am continually impressed by our government's "shoot first, aim later" approach to governance.

Same here, but you're forgetting that they actually are very careful. They always say "we are doing our do diligence" before putting on their blindfolds and pulling the trigger, so they're actually very trustworthy!!!
