Interesting column in the Herald about the Alberta Health Care issues and how the government is not necessarily getting their priorities straight...
Quote:
Through all the excuses, obfuscations and belated promises, nobody in government has voiced a word of outrage on behalf of victims, like the person who died of a brain hemorrhage in a waiting room.
Beyond saying "nobody wants to wait in an emergency room" -- Stelmach's trite observation -- the Tories express no empathy, voice no anger, call nobody to account.
When the victims are ducks, though, the premier doesn't tell anybody to cool down. He's pretty hot himself.
The duck deaths are "sad and disappointing," he said, especially when Syncrude was fined for earlier deaths only a few days before. "And now we have this other incident, which is not only frustrating, you know; it makes one angry."

Discuss! Personally, I think the duck deaths are being blown out of proportion a little.
