I don’t know about that. To be fair, there’s a lot of mudslinging, but what in the world is Kenney doing?! All the guy needed to do is spend 28 days talking about the economy, jobs, pipelines and debts. That’s it. Then he steps out starts talking about Bill 24 being repealed and tries to defend his view that kids should be outed to their parents. I don’t get it.
All I hear in the media is that Kenney is a remarkable politician, and he is such a great campaigner, and they look like their actually trying to throw this. Maybe he doesn’t actually want to be premier?

Unnecessary visits to doctors and to ER are actually a big expense. There are people who go to the doctor every time they and or their kids have a cold. ERs have frequent visitors, often lonely people or hypochondriacs who go to the ER multiple times a month, often on a schedule ("it's Friday night Nancy"). It's estimated one in five visits to the ER in Canada are unnecessary.

I wonder if things are different in terms of work-flow there? Here at a doctors office there’s not much “actual medicine” that takes place. I’ve been told to go to the ER for things because there was nowhere else to go at that point. It’s a giant catch-all and that definitely leads to increased use that could be handled much more efficiently.
