I dunno, Kenney's strategy of cutting nurses pay was pretty spot on, too. Look how happy they were back in June 2021...
Quote:
After working the front lines through three gruelling waves of the pandemic, and now facing the prospect of pay cuts, some Alberta nurses say they're exhausted, demoralized and looking to get out — prompting concerns about the future of health care in the province.
"We are the ones that are seeing COVID at its worst."
But as the province emerged from its most recent COVID-19 surge — and negotiations between the United Nurses of Alberta (UNA), Alberta Health Services and Covenant Health resumed — nurses were presented with a three per cent wage rollback proposal. Including other changes, UNA argues it amounts to a five per cent cut.
"That was a huge slap in the face to a lot of us," said McGrath.
All this prompted McGrath to take a temporary one-year position — away from the front lines.
"I've never seen morale this low," she said. "We don't have the same spirit that we used to."

Like, gee, really can't figure out why we have staff shortages now...It's pretty baffling. Must be Trudeau's fault.
