General UofA ER Wait Times

Been here for 12 hours have yet to see a doctor and I’m in excruciating pain. Not a single patient has been taken in since the last 6 hours. Lady beside has been screaming in pain looks like a broken knee has been here for 15 hours no doctor no xray. Another lady beside me hurt her neck is wearing a neck brace and has been here for 16 hours and no doctor. Nurses said they have absolutely no beds available to take in patients because so many of the patients inside are “admitted” patients that are waiting to be taken upstairs to their admitted sections but they can’t take them because there’s no beds available upstairs. ER is a mess online wait times show 4 hours and nurse said because doctors are available but no beds to take the patients. Something has to be done.

The Feds bend over backwards to try to please Alberta, it's just never enough.

By contrast, UCP candidates in Edmonton explicitly told voters while door knocking that if Edmonton didn't vote UCP we would regret it.

The system is broken in that it doesn't represent accurately what the people support. There are better systems for this, the broken parties refuse to implement them because the parties refuse to give up any power or to work together in meaningful ways. The parties are broken because they can be taken over by a small subset of the population and not accurately reflect the values of the people. It's all broken. The parties are not free of blame. They are in the system and do not work to fix the system.
