Many of these clinics have existed for YEARS without scrutiny. A @ParklandInst 2017 report found clinics capitalize on legislative loopholes to profit off of Albertans' health care needs, while claiming to remain in bounds of the Canada Health Act. 2/ parklandinstitute.ca/blurred_lines
“Secret mandates undermine what happens at the bargaining table; they make it almost irrelevant what individual employers and bargaining units want”: Parkland director Jason Foster, today, at the webinar “Bargaining in Alberta Universities.”

The struggles of CKUA, an important Alberta institution, are part of Ralph Klein's legacy. Privatization of public goods almost always results in charity and philanthropy having to pick up the pieces - that's the essence of the model.

Pleased to see #Budget24 raise the capital gains inclusion rate, bringing in $19 bil! Currently, workers earnings are taxed at 100% while wealthy investors are taxed on only 50% of their gains. We’ve been advocating for this for a decade 🧵 #CanPoli #TaxTheRich

Stealing power from the legislature. Removing voters' rights. Ignoring the courts. Firing critics. Governing by vengeance. The UCP is an authoritarian force. And we need to act now to stop them.
New report out today about Canada’s regressive tax system, co-authored by our brilliant former researcher, @DTCochrane, and senior economist with the @ccpa, @MarcLeeCCPA 💫 taxfairness.ca/en/resources/r…
Narrator: There were also municipal elections very four years, until the minister granted himself Supreme authority to nullify them.
McIver on the UCP giving themselves the power to fire any democratically elected municipal official for “going against the public interest”… “Well if people believe the provincial government has gone against the public interest, there’s an election every 4 years” Unironically.
The thing that makes me most enraged watching Sarah Jama is knowing that the ONDP dropped her, leaving her alone and exposed in this den of snakes to take the morally just position all by herself.

@RicAcuna Better yet, nationalize it. Utilities are a natural monopoly that should be owned by the public
