1... @Shandro, @jkenney, @UCPCaucus. Sometimes a look back in time is worthy, while its still within the collective memory and not relegated to the history books...2
2...Remember back when @jkenney signed the poster saying healthcare would be respected and maintained? Remember when the McKinnon report came out and said "we value healthcare but healthcare has lost its way?"...3
3...Remember when the govt spun it hard to the public that docs earned $90,000 a year and even with change docs would still flock to the province?...4
4...Remember when the UCP were just saying "We just want to control costs, in fact we want to expand healthcare expenditure?"...5
5...My we have come a long way. Now, we have a govt with an out-of-control MOH attacking docs on all angles, corporatizing healthcare with explicit intention of paying tax$$$ for health services to corps that have no qualifications to deliver that care....6
6...We have a misogynist govt silencing students, teachers, doctors. Ejecting a national police for in exchange for a provincial police force AND voluntary militia. We have a govt busting unions, infiltrating self-regulated professional bodies. We have various human rights...7
7...being clearly violated. We have rampant conflicts of interest. We have pensions being absorbed into money laundering organizations. We have conscription. We have professional migration being denied. The list goes on and on...8
8...But, we still get stuck in the "optics of the last week". Sure, what is the next atrocity that will be incrementally inflicted upon us? But, what is the whole impact? What have we collectively lost by forgetting to think back even a year, and see what has happened...9
9...That, to me, is one of the most astonishing things of all. By breaking it down into 1-week increments, the UCP have managed to elude us realizing what the accumulated effect has been. Who present would say that they would vote for this to happen?...10
10...If it were put in one document, listing all the things that have happened, at least all the big things so as to not overwhelm the reader, would any rational reader say "Yes, I would vote for that". I think no one would. Maybe we should have a vote, a referendum...11
11...A referendum if you will asking all Albertans..."Would you vote for this? Would you vote for this to continue, escalating weekly, for the next three years?". @jkenney, you are fond of referenda. Lets have one. One year in, do Albertans want you to lead us?...12
12...Retweet if you want @jkenney to have a referendum on whether Albertans want him still to lead us.
