This population is aging, I am not sure what anyone can do. To blame this on a guy that really has not caused the problems is strange...
I have no idea if Duckett's plan will be the right plan, or even what the plan is going to look like. I am certainly not bashing the guy's skills from an interview, the press IMO should bugger off in most situations. As soon as the papers seemed to move from actual news to sensationalism my thoughts on reporters dropped immensely.

I'm not blaming Duckett for the problems. I simply don't believe he's the man to fix the problems. The situation is getting pretty bad, and in my opinion needs to be dealt with immediately. Not after five years and some "studies". He seems to like to downplay the situation, and for his salary I think it's not too much to expect someone to get worked up a bit and come up with some concrete solutions to fix the problem sooner rather then later. Health care is not a game, and it's not something that you should be taking your time with. Do I know exactly how to fix the issues? No... But I'm also not getting paid 700k to figure it out.
You can also tell a lot about someone based on how they carry themselves in public. All Duckett has done is laugh at people's upset comments regarding the system (seriously, interview with global) and try to downplay things. Not to mention his "cookie" thing... Try acting professional and answering the tough questions for concerned Albertans whom YOU serve Mr. Duckett.
