Redit and a couple of contacts, are indicating a large layoff of AHS staff. IT, HR, Finance and at least one more depart. Get rid of the back line and hope no one see or cares.

That is still a lot of people. I think of IT alone from the time my SO was there, Her pay rases were based on what the Nurses negotiated. They also had a lot of staff. And now because of the digital tech involved the IT Dept is needed more. Netcare and now Connect care are to of the world leading programs that were developed here and are the envy of almost every health system in Canada.

Oh I wasn't downplaying it. That's terrible that anyone is losing their job.
 
They've already sold our emails to the Russians for a bag of magic beans.....so anything to make a buck to finance her Central Albertan Flat-Earthers projects, Red Deer Hospital, Sundre Museum, all really useful stuff

"Wild Rose Country" was already pretty dumb, but this is somehow still a downgrade.

Well Loyal She Remains was previously taken by another province and that doesn't describe the current Alberta government anyways.

Frankly I would have preferred to keep Wild Rose Country, rather than something that seems to be more political posturing.
 
Sooo…

Our teachers are on strike and education at all levels is under siege by those responsible for funding and delivering it.

Our health care system is a disaster and continues to be broken - and broken apart - by those responsible for funding and delivering it.

Our relationship with Ottawa and with the rest of the country continues to be fractured by those responsible for funding and delivering it.

And what do we get? A survey on what Alberta’s automobile license plates should look like as those in charge have decided to change the motto on them from Wild Rose Country to Strong and Free. As if that’s what’s been burning in our minds as an issue to spend time and money on.

Who is it that dreams up this sh!t? 😞
