Alberta physicians standing up for patients’ rights to care and physicians’ ethical duty to care 👇 The UCP have gone too far with their government overreach into your healthcare.

An historic legal challenge from Canada’s physicians’ association to the Alberta government. Bill 26 is harmful to gender diverse patients and sets a dangerous precedent of putting politicians in the exam room, overruling patient’s decisions that they have made with their doctors.

“Ms. Smith, transparently, has been attempting an Andy Bernard play for the past several months, kissing up to the Trump entourage out of naked self-interest while kneecapping what she decided was her competition: the rest of the country.” www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

Opinion: Does Danielle Smith know we can all see and hear her?
The Alberta Premier’s spectacle of naked self-interest has been broadcast for all to see. Does she think everyone’s too stupid to notice?

A few important reminders about measles: 1. It’s one of the most contagious diseases on the planet and is spread by airborne transmission. 2. Measles lasts in the air for hours after the infected person has left the room. 3. Two doses of the MMR vaccine offer over 95% protection. /1
