JIAHN Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I can not understand the "people" love for the Conservatives agenda. They will truely sell off, your lands and anything we own. I hate Trudeau, but people need to stop thinking about just today............ Just remember it was the Conservatives that cancelled our National Energy Program and sold it for pennies on the dollar, to Big Business Now we do not get anything for what is in our ground Certainly pennies on the dollar, compared to Norway People need to understand the Conservative agenda...............and in my opinion don't! Most on here can not see their nose in spite of their face We are far better off, electing people of integrity, and demanding they remain that way! Going to party elections in mass, would be a hell of a start..............but few go! And because of that............those who run the shows, basically get who they want...... Money, and power talk, because of that! Guess who has the money and power? Not you and me!.........And it does not matter what party..........they are all the same!

If Trudeau was doing such a great job he would be re-elected or wouldn't have to rely on coalitions. Define better. Do you mean more affordable? Less expensive? Funny because it all happened at the exact same time across the entire globe. But Canada seems to be a g20 darling in regards to GDP growth vs inflationary increases and now decreases. But hey, don't let that fact stop you 5 hours ago, bolt said: We should be #1 What is the excuse we're only #25? We should be #1 for most taxed country? Ok. Oh you mean the quality of life index. Ya we've actually been top 5 on that list give or take 3 spots for a decade ish. But again don't let that stop ya from misunderstanding that the most taxed countries are all universally in the top 15 best places to live as well 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The province also announced a seat expansion at UBC faculty of medicine which included 40 new undergraduate medical education seats and 88 new residency seats which began in 2023. B.C. health minister says the province is 'crushing' Alberta on nursing recruiting, retention Quote Updated Aug. 19, 2024 10:05 p.m. ADT Published Aug. 19, 2024 9:06 p.m. ADT British Columbia’s health minister took time during a recent city council meeting to emphasize the province’s success in retaining and recruiting nurses compared to Alberta. Speaking at a City of Williams Lake council meeting earlier this week, Health Minister Adrian Dix said the province isn’t just “beating Alberta” when it comes to recruiting nurses. “We are crushing Alberta in terms of the recruitment of nurses,” Dix said via video call during the meeting. "Last year we added 6,000 nurses to our province.” B.C. lifted its vaccine mandate for all health-care workers earlier this month. Dix wanted to dispel any "myths" that the mandate forced workers away from working in his province. "B.C. is really demonstrating respect for nurses," said Danielle Larivee, first vice president for United Nurses of Alberta. "They're listening to what they need in order to feel happier with their work." Larivee said that includes higher wages and nurse-patient ratio. She added that Alberta previously would top the wage scale for nurses, but now sits third in the country. "Movement of staff out of Alberta Health Services (AHS) to the new entity of Recovery Alberta was stressful to many, mental health nurses who actually chose to, surprise, go to B.C." Alberta's Medical Association said Dix's comments send a strong message. "That's got to be a massive warning sign for our province in our government," said president Dr. Paul Parks. "We can't do our job without nurses. Physicians absolutely rely on nurses and all of our allied health care workers." Parks added that there is a severe staffing shortage. "In any of the main emergency departments in the province, we're regularly functioning with only 80 per cent of our nursing staffing that we need," he said 1 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a hit on one of the lists I put in for her directly with the clinic. You need to follow up with them regularly. Before we found her a regular doc, we found these guys to be terrific http://aquariusmedical.ca/ Maybe you can get an appointment here, it's pretty far from the wack but maybe a phone or online consultation will do, or plan it for your next trip in Edited September 2 by Bob Long 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
