Maybe my post wasnt clear, it wasnt the shareholders donating, it was a decision at the board level. I wonder what other kind of entity has a board that may make decisions like that...

Locke does not like businesses owned by multiple shareholders as they exist in their current form…

I'm sure these will be effective and well thought out changes, like saving money by banning doctors from discussing vaccines and birth control. Also, if you haven't controlled your own cancer before it gets to stage 4, that's your fault, and the province won't pay for treatments. Oh, and it seems Trudeau's evil Liberals are trying to give independent and strong Albertans free medications, and this province will not be bullied into that. If Trudeau thinks he can hand out child murdering free drugs in this Province, he obviously hasn't heard of the Alberta Dumb and Moronic Firewall, protecting Albertans choice to let us choose what they get.

The Alberta govt also bought the front page of the Halifax Chronicle-Herald today to scare monger about Ottawa. I am super duper positive it will help the people of our province for...reasons.

The environment minister’s office has apparently become the new war room. I rest easy knowing she’ll likely have a nice cushy consultancy job lined up for her when she’s out of office. It’s as if the UCP can’t figure out that you can be pro oil and gas without making our province look like a banana republic. What a disgrace.

I'm getting excellent primary care from a family medicine teaching centre and if the UCP ####s that up, I will be livid.

Yeah Pat McDonald is an ADM in AEPA now. The war room is now involved in the regulatory chain.

Looks like the govt just didnt buy the front page, theres a whole ad campaign, reportedly 7 million worth. Just saw a tv ad for their stupid scrap the cap bs.
Why are they acting like an industry lobby group with tax dollars?

Because they are owned by the industry that lobbies them, so will shamelessly spend our tax dollars? It's a bit amusing, because like the rest of Canada gives a #### what Ottawa policies do to our industry. Most would probably rather see the Alberta Advantage cut down a peg or two. So rather than building support, I suspect this backfires. Or more likely, it's a shoulder shrug and a waste of 7 mill.

The vibe I get is that the rest of Canada is sick of the Alberta governments whinging.

Which is why MiniMaga Pierre will never win. Once the Lib attack ads link him to Boobbus, Ontario is going to crater for him.

Maybe if you post your wishful thinking 2 times a day instead of once it will make it come true!

UCP's brilliant plan for fixing healthcare is to turn it into Uber, instead of actually paying their staff.

Uber and similar services put the user in control and provide zero continuity of service. Not sure that’s the right metaphor for a health system.

This coming from the same government that believes AHS needs to be split up into multiple entities.
