The BC government's current approach does not follow the evidence. This continuing expansion of coercive confinement wastes precious health system resources and only sets us back in our fight against the worst public health emergency in our history. (8/8)

Let us be clear: Dr. Vigo is not an expert in the care of people who use drugs. He is not a specialist in addiction. He is not an adolescent psychiatrist. It is not even clear that he maintains an active clinical practice. (4/8)

Dr. Vigo has now crossed the line by deliberately confounding causation with correlation, a major scientific faux pas and, frankly, an embarrassing one. He is actively lying about science to support a government agenda. (3/8)

Donald Trump has gained more wealth in 18 months as president than during the last 60 years of his career. His l net worth has increased by l $4.2 billion since 2025 and is now at $7.8 billion, per to Bloomberg.

I partnered with the Ont Coalition for Better Child Care and the Assoc of Early Childhood Educators on a new study on the economic benefits being harvested by Ont from the new $10-a-day national child care program: childcareontario.org/stanford-rep.... More jobs, more GDP, more govt rev. /2

Our petition to the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care now has 1600 signatures! Thank you everyone who signed and shared! Current research shows students who use AI learn less. We are asking to slow things down, so our kids aren't guinea-pigs. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pa...

These Alberta separatists should talk to Brits before making silly arguments about increased trade opportunities.

“This direction entirely flies in the face of that clinical evidence and the movement among clinicians saying a significant amount of medical imaging is actually unnecessary and exposes people to radiation,” said Longhurst. #abpoli reddeeradvocate.com/2026/07/28/a...

See you in court, creep.

www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... ‘Canada ranks 28 out of 35 OECD countries for its lower share of public spending on health care, behind 27 other countries with universal health care systems’ @alonghurst.bsky.social @policyalternatives.ca

Despite underspending on health care, Alberta ALREADY has among the highest per person private spending in the country—& growing! Yet the Premier expects us to believe that MORE privatization is the solution?? If it were, it would have worked by now🤷 Read from @policyalternatives.ca

I excluded the few OECD countries without universal systems (hence the US has been excluded)

“This could end Canadian medicare as we know it.” “That’s the chilling conclusion of a recent report on Alberta’s push to create a privatized, U.S.-style health care system in the province.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli breachmedia.ca/pandoras-box...

Saskatchewan and the Maritimes lead the country in private long-term care spending Saskatchewan ($631), Nova Scotia ($620), New Brunswick ($558), and PEI ($513) lead the country in private per person long-term care spending Too many people pay out of pocket for this necessary health care #cdnpoli

What are provinces seeing private money spent on? B.C. ($1,024), Alberta ($975), and Ontario ($869) lead the country in per person private spending on non-physician professionals, including physios, dentists, and psychologists. Many of these health professionals are not part of the public system

This should not be a surprise... Ontario and Alberta are among the provinces most rapidly advancing the privatization of public health care services, including surgeries, diagnostic imaging, and seniors’ care. #cdnpoli #onpoli #abpoli

…while Ontario, New Brunswick, and Alberta have the lowest provincial health care spending Ontario ($5,425), New Brunswick ($5,685), and Alberta ($5,870) had the lowest per person provincial health care spending in 2023. Cdn average for per person provincial health care spending was $5,868 in 2023

Which provinces are doing worst? Nova Scotia, Alberta, and Ontario have the highest private health care spending… Nova Scotia ($3,015), Alberta ($2,852), and Ontario ($2,852) had the highest per person private health care spending in the country, and above the Cdn average of $2,602 #cdnpoli

Private spending has been growing especially fast in a handful of areas, with private spending on home and community care, non-physician professionals, and physicians growing fastest over the past three years (2021-23) With AB's new two-tier system, except private spending on physicians to increase

Most private health care spending is on non-physician professionals, drugs, and long-term care This is not surprising considering these services are not universally publicly insured under the Canada Health Act and the federal government has abandoned national pharmacare #cdnpoli
