Finding enough money to throw at the health sector
isn't the problem - many have tried that and it
won't cure the problems. I've had lots of experience
with the health service both in Alberta and in
Scotland and would argue it's management that is
poor rather than lack of funding. The times when
patients are lying in bed not getting their most
basic needs met are often not caused by
understaffing of staff shortages but because the
nurses are standing in the hallway gossiping.
I've been in that position myself, waiting on getting
a dose of morphine for hours because the staff are
"too busy" when I can hear them sitting in the staff
area bitching about another patient or a doctor they
don't like. My father in law passed away recently
and through his last weeks had an appalling level of
care that wasn't meeting the basic needs of life and
human dignity - every day my wife went in she had
to do the job of managing the staff so they actually
did their jobs rather than do as little as possible
and still draw a pay check. Not saying all nurses are
useless or uncaring but there is definitely an
accepted culture where many of these types are
tolerated at the expense of patient care.

In my local paper my MLA had a little "misinformation ad" on how good the four land theft bills were (just poor communication!) and how the new Property Rights Advocate Office was going to fix that right up!
At a local political forum in Sylvan Lake he went on a little rant, saying the government might as well scrap the land bills because people had been fooled so much by some crazy lawyer, no one would ever believe the government when they told the truth!
.....that didn't go over too good!(note to all politicians...don't drink before you come to political forums!)
The property rights issue has pretty well been pushed off the page by healthcare and education, for the general public? The government made a conscious decision to write off the rural areas as unwinnable after they heard how pissed off the people were about the government stealing their property!
It pretty well is a done deal that these scoundrels are getting a pink slip on April 23rd! This isn't just about Alberta.....the Wildrose position on property rights is going to affect every province in Canada! It's a revolution!
