David Keegan @drdavidkeegan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It has all the markers of the well-known strategy of: break the public system so that private is the only apparent solution. We had one of the most efficient healthcare systems in the world, and then it was broken up into pillars which burned time, and continues to cause confusion and chaos. 010

They are also a potential disaster for Alberta's economy. Last night, I rose in the Senate to denounce them - and to thank all the thousands of Albertans fighting against them.

David Keegan @drdavidkeegan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026You’re welcome, but I really just used the website. Our healthcare system has collapsed. The question is do we let private health care just bulldoze the rest of it and replace it, or do we rebuild it? I think you know which I think we should do. So much cost and needless harm. 010
