Hey take a listen to this guy (he looks like he's getting too old for night shifts (cuz he is!))👇

Free speech lovin', libertarian, "regulated professions neutrality act" creating Danielle Smith wants me banned from media for speaking the truth about HC!

Dr. Paul Parks @Dr_Paul_Parks 12h

In a healthy democracy, leaders answer hard questions and welcome frontline expertise. When a government tries to silence critical voices, ban media access, and ignore reality while our healthcare system collapses, it reveals a fundamental fear of transparency and accountability.

It's laughable that the Premier is trying to sell to ABs that I'm so powerful I can block her entire govt from implementing a critical intervention to save lives in our EDs!

It's even more laughable when facts are taken into account:

39M to plan to plan future maybe UCC’s?

They pulled CEOs out to announce they’re going to get some planning started?

UCP will probably just cancel this “planning” in the future, like they did w Edmonton’s desperately needed hospital! Cancelled it w no reprieve in sight!

More Albertans will soon have faster access to care closer to home.

Today Minister Adriana LaGrange @AdrianaLaGrange announced $39 million to plan and secure land for 9 new urgent care centres across Alberta. Once open, they will more than double our urgent care network from 6 to 15 centres and could divert up to 300,000 emergency visits every year.

The new centres are planned for west and south Edmonton, the Stony Plain and Spruce Grove area, east Calgary, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Cold Lake, Fort McMurray and Sylvan Lake.

That means shorter waits, less pressure on our emergency rooms and the right care in the right place when families need it most.

The respect is mutual @PeterGuthrie99

Alberta needs more public servants like yourself, who are willing to sacrifice to speak truth to power, and to demand transparency and accountability from government!

I have tremendous respect for Dr. Parks, not only for his work as a surgeon, but for his tireless advocacy on behalf of Albertans.

Despite the demands of his profession, Paul has spent countless hours travelling across our province, speaking with Albertans and drawing attention to what’s really happening inside our healthcare system.

Healthcare is one of the biggest responsibilities of any provincial government, and having qualified, competent, experienced people in leadership positions has never been more important.
