Politicians, not medical experts, to have final say on restrictions after Public Health Act overhaul
So the UCP didn't like that the Health Act said the Chief Medical Officer of Health has the final say on Public Health, so they are changing the Health Act.
Alberta UCP activists want 'control' of party board — but to do what with it, exactly?
Religious dictatorship. I thought that was obvious.
New data show Alberta, Calgary posting worst opioid death rates on record
I'm sure this is actually Alberta Health Services fault.

Western Canadians have always found ways to "get it done.". What I don't understand is why have we been so crappy at electing governments. Manitoba will bean interesting case study.

I think it's because they tell people what they want to hear, and we have short memories.
I like Kinew. Seems like a good fella.

'Blow it up and sell pieces off': Stakeholders react to UCP plan to revamp Alberta health-care system
$1:
"There's nothing (in this provincial announcement) about building the hospitals that have been promised, like Red Deer or South Edmonton," Gallaway said. "There's nothing about retaining doctors or health care workers. There's nothing about recruitment and training. That's what's needed across the province, not a massive administrative change that will create chaos, cost a bunch of money and hire more assistant deputy ministers and bureaucrats."
"You're just making the experience for Albertans worse and the opportunity for privatization stronger."
As Exhibit A, Gallaway pointed to the UCP's most-recent attempts to reform blood testing through a for-profit operator Dynalife, which backfired dramatically.
"Blow it up and sell pieces off, that seems to be the strategy underway with this morning's announcement," said Gallaway. "You think this government would have learned their lesson after their disastrous decision to split our lab system into two pieces and their subsequent failed privatization of the community labs to Dynalife, but here we go again."
