www.ctvnews.ca/calga... Anybody think about who's going to work in our meat processing plants down in Brooks when the govt implements its genius TFW tax of $1900? Do we think Canadian teens are going to take on those jobs? Did the UCP govt even ask employers for their input?

What would charging temporary residents for health care and education mean for Alberta?
When Albertans vote in the province’s referendum this fall, they will be asked whether people legally living and working in Alberta without permanent resident status should pay extra to use two of the province’s most important public services.

Still more coverage of the catastrophic failure by public health and infection control officials who have never accepted their responsibility. Keep this story in the public eye - there's so much more information on this that needs coverage. What's in the news now is just the tip of the iceberg.

Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients. This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act. 1/3

Canada: A new report calls Alberta’s response to the Cargill plant COVID outbreak a “catastrophic failure” that put industry over workers. More than 950 workers were infected in spring 2020, 18 were hospitalised and 2 died. Source: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... Archive: archive.li/0H4bd
A news article screenshot from The Globe and Mail with the headline: "Alberta’s response to COVID-19 outbreak at Cargill plant was ‘catastrophic failure,’ report says." The article is written by health reporter Alanna Smith.
Below the headline is a photograph showing a woman in a black jacket, hat, and face mask kneeling on a grassy lawn next to a tree. She is wearing blue gloves and placing a photo of a woman at a makeshift memorial. A large white banner tied to the tree features a prominent red heart containing the name "Bui Thi Hiep" written in black. Smaller orange hearts decorate the bottom of the banner, next to bouquets of flowers on the ground.
The image caption reads: "A woman places a photo of Cargill worker Bui Thi Hiep at a makeshift memorial in Calgary on May 4, 2020."
