Mark Carney is asked about Danielle Smith's comments to Breitbart about Pierre Polievre being a better fit for the Trump administration. Carney says he's heard Smith's comments, and says they're an endorsement of Poilievre vision for Americanism and division.

Minister Dan Williams, you have some testifying to do. What do you know? “Romanow said that Minister Williams was concerned that the investigation could lead to potential connections between various government officials and Sam Mraiche and MHCare Medical around AHS procurement issues.” #ableg

Careful. The Liberals will not be strong in every riding. I want a Liberal win also. My riding has been Conservative for over 25 years. I need to carefully look at the candidates in my riding and assess which candidate can defeat a Conservative. Please consider the effect of vote splitting.

Let’s be clear. Healthcare is a human right. It is a foundation, like education that builds and sustains society. It should never be about profit and it never generates revenue. It’s about a patient’s needs & not a shareholder’s return. Anyone who tells you otherwise is stealing.

~ MEDIA RELEASE: HSAA Calls for Immediate End to ASI and Private Surgical Facilities Amid Massive Overcharging Scandal  "This is an outright betrayal of Albertans," said HSAA President Mike Parker. hsaa.ca/post/hsaa-ca...
EDMONTON – The Health Sciences Association of Alberta (HSAA) is demanding an end to the Alberta Surgical Initiative (ASI) and a return to full public ownership of private surgical facilities to prevent further profiteering off essential health care services following explosive revelations that private surgical facilities contracted by the province were charging more than double the cost of equivalent procedures performed in the public system.  

Documents obtained by The Globe and Mail expose shocking price discrepancies, showing that AHS pays $4,833 for a shoulder replacement, while private facilities under ASI were negotiating rates as high as $11,243. Similar overcharges exist for hip and knee replacements, with private providers consistently charging over twice what it costs AHS to perform the same procedures.

Premier Danielle Smith on Wednesday confirmed some of the numbers in this story. However, she omitted AHS's internal cost. Instead, she used CIHI's calculation for Alberta. But CIHI includes costs that AHS's internal analysis does not. Apples-to-grapefruits.
