What do you think the Sheriffs are for?I’m sure she’d kill to have her own version of Trump’s ICE……
YEG would for certain be AB’s version of Minneapolis….
I feel what is being put forth in the referendum questions is essentially a power grab by Smith. If she can't run our schools and hospitals well now or our government finances why should we give her more power?She didn’t elect herself Premier.
As Jim Prentice (the man who welcomed her and her cohorts into the tent) once said, if we want to know who to blame for the current state of affairs, collectively we only need to look in the mirror.
It isn’t her fault for being who she is (she’s always openly been who she is) it’s our collective fault for electing her. What happens next is up to Albertans, not Smith.
Nothing of substance from the feds. Most provinces have made very little of progress on adding beds.^
“Countless hospitals” you say?
The best estimate of what was spent in and by all provinces and territories was $5 billion. That’s less than the current estimate to build a single hospital in SW Edmonton…
Just a whole lot of businesses that were kept afloat that after now paying taxes and a whole lot of Canadians who were also kept afloat that managed to pay their rent and their mortgages that are now also paying taxes. And don’t forget the avoided costs of keeping people alive and out of hospitals…Nothing of substance from the feds. Most provinces have made very little of progress on adding beds.
This is a generational decision. The older voters decided from 2015-now that they don't value hospital beds.
I don't agree with it whatsoever, but I was in highschool when these decisions were being made. All provinces have messed this up.
Fact check:
Canada's COVID response plan was in excess of $500 billion with no infrastructure to show for it.
And somehow their governments have failed to deliver these beds. Priorities.PS It would be my guess that in fact older voters typically value hospital beds and health care (including COVID testing) more than subsequent generations.
