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

Alberta separatists refusing to talk about separatism during a referendum is like asking someone to help you light the fuse, then insisting everyone’s being hysterical about the explosion. If you don’t want to talk about what happens, maybe don’t ask us to light it.
