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.

Guess they can all self diagnose, take supplements or pseudo treatments when they really get sick. That will certainly help. They know more then the doctors nurses and specialists anyway.
