With the expected turnover in the UCP caucus (regardless of final tally) expect a lot more nuttery. Already there's pushback to Danielle Smith's Jennifer Johnson banishment.

The loons that would normally run for the various fringe parties are now imbedded in the UCP.

The target audience of that tweet is deeply stupid. Although as a corollary I assume the target audience was already voting UCP so I don't know what the point is. Fire up the base, I guess.

Vote harder. Really get in there with that lead pencil and show those communists who's in charge.

It’s both sides that have had similar discussions if the other wins.
I’ve heard it allot from other UCP voters.

Aren’t there other nurses that work with you that complain about it?
This is a stupid trap you've been conned into believing. Not a surprise, really, but it's not at all an issue for staffing.



You might know this, if you stopped getting your information from 3-brain celled goldfish. And no, I'm not going to find the real facts for you, go research it yourself.

I think that the difference is that teachers, doctors and ems are essential to the province. If some riggers and support leave over the ndp, I look forward to applying for their jobs.

I hadn’t heard health care workers policy changed at all.

Oh no I talked to people as much or more essential to that list that are thinking of pulling the plug if Notley gets in.

Sigh. no, not that.

Dix said that 99 per cent of full-time health care workers have been vaccinated for COVID-19, so the number unable to work because they’re unvaccinated is relatively small.

If an HCW is selfish enough to not have gotten the covid vaccine when they were needed most, they probably shouldn't be in healthcare. These selfish workers left their co-workers to suffer through horrid conditions, made worse by the like of your ilk and the lying liars you get your news from, and have now left healthcare because of burnout. They are the ones of value we have lost, not the losers who claim to want to care for people, but can't do the bare minimum.

Sigh. HCW's have always had to get some extra vaccinations for less common diseases that they may encounter in their training and practice, because obviously it would be disastrous for them to contract and then spread it to immuno-compromised in the course of their work.

The Bigfoot War Room isn't essential.
