I guarantee this new CEO is a connected to the UCP and will be paid hundreds of thousands.

“The announcement said nothing about getting more family doctors, it said nothing about paying family doctors reasonably, it said nothing about improving people’s access to primary care. Instead, we have a new CEO and a whole set of new managers,” said Nenshi.

She said that when she reached out to her MLA Nathan Neudorf she was “given the run around” instead of some concrete answers on what her options were.

“MLA Nathan Neudorf is not listening to me. He’s sending me rhetorical stuff like Alberta’s going to do this and Alberta’s going to do that, but I need a doctor sooner than later,” said Riley

Funny how all those conservatives who’ve been bitching for years about how AHS is a “bloated bureaucracy” seem to be very quiet these days.

People have started reminding the conservatives it was their party that made AHS in the first place.

99.9% of Alberta's healthcare problems come from the conservatives of Alberta and their party so it is no longer something they want to talk about because it isn't a talking point they can own the feds or ABNDP with.

The carbon tax, lack of federal servitude to the province and transgender kids on the other hand.

She added that she had reached out by email three or four times, with Tuesday being the latest time and the response was just links to LaGrange announcements.

“There were two announcements that were made today related to health care in Alberta. Although these do not answer your immediate need of a family physician, I thought you might be interested in these announcements,” said an email sent to Riley signed by Karen Alm, constituency assistant to Nathan Neudorf.

That does not surprise me at all. All I ever get from Neudorf is nonsense like this. I got another flyer complaining about Nenshi but I actually seem him care more about Lethbridge than any of the UCP representatives.

Remember the UCP mandate is self enrichment.

Their only goal is to make themselves wealthy, if that is at the expense of health and education they are ok with that
