There are no shortage of reports and studies suggesting fixes for problems. It's time we actually do them, and not use cost as an excuse not to. Because this government has shown it's happy to waste money as long as it's a cause they are pushing for, even if no intelligent Albertan wants it.
Long term care beds are such low-hanging fruit, too... Especially with the demographic trends over the next 10-20 years.
