The money has to come from somewhere but then again it's not our job to find the money, that's the government's it's never a good look when the government in power blames lack of funding when they are the ones that control the budget.

More than 2,100 long-term care spaces have been opened for seniors over the last four years. But on Thursday, Premier Rachel Notley announced her government would add 2,000 more over the next five years.

I've been saying for years that a lack of these long term care spaces are clogging up our hospitals causing huge expenses. So it is disingenuous to say they aren't doing anything. This should provide some relief to hospitals and reduce costs by not having patients stuck in the ER and ICU with no bed to receive them(been there...) while costing huge amounts of money.
This is what the PC's neglected to address for decades and should be a good step forward.
