The system is unable to cope with demand? Easy fix, cut staff! If people know they can't get help, they'll stay home, artificially lowering apparent demand. As a bonus it might "reduce the surplus population."

From which swamp did these monsters emerge? One of those glorious tar sands tailings ponds perhaps?

These monsters probably don't get their healthcare from AHS or get priority care from AHS. That's why they don't care. It doesn't affect them.

That's what makes them monsters. If they were negatively impacted themselves, then they'd be just stupid, which is plenty bad enough.

At what point do Albertans wake up to the reality that these tailing pond goblins are actively making their lives worse? Does it actually feel that things are getting better for the average Albertan?

The alternatives want to take away their oil jobs and their lifted chromed pickup trucks though. Everyone knows that anything bad that happens is Trudeau's fault obviously!
