"We may have caught gov't's attention but it appears they still aren't listening."
An apt summary of what I'm hearing from doctors re: @shandro's attempt to walk back some of the sweeping cuts he forced through on April 1.
Albertans & their doctors deserve better. #ableg https://twitter.com/EZMSA2/status/1253816968609558528

. @shandro's claim he's engaged in any level of meaningful consultation w/ @Albertadoctors or Alberta doctors or that he or his MLAs brought any of these 'solutions' to the table would be laughable if it wasn't such an outright lie. #ableg
. @shandro has demonstrated an total lack of leadership or integrity on this file. He blindly forged ahead with short-sighted policies despite warnings from multiple fronts & attacked & denigrated any who told him they'd do the very damage he attempted to undo today. #ableg
While doctors showed incredible solidarity & leadership in the face of an unprecedented attack from their gov't & an oncoming global pandemic, @shandro displayed childish behaviour utterly unbefitting of his role as a Minister of the Crown. #ableg
Alberta doctors shouldn't have had to spend this much of their energy, to endure this much anxiety & face this much hostility from their gov't for their voices to be heard and for such poorly-developed, harmful policy to be stopped and rethought. #ableg
And for @shandro to stand today & refuse to admit any mistakes or accept responsibility for his poor decisions is an insult to both physicians and Albertans.
Alberta doctors are heroes, not liars. I can't say the same for him. #ableg

The only way @shandro & the UCP can even begin to restore any trust or good will w/ Alberta doctors is to restore their contract, rescind sections of Bill 21 allowing gov't to unilaterally tear it up & return to the table w/ a third-party, independent arbitrator. #ableg
Thank you to Alberta's doctors for their tenacity, resilience, and commitment in their fight to build, maintain & defend a system that allows them to provide quality care for their patients.
Albertans see you and stand with you. #ableg
